[PS4] Jet Set Luxury Bath Breaks

I have a same problem with op,too. I'm playing in PC.

For some reason the Jet Set Luxury Bath breaks despite it being labeled as unbreakable, this is a glitch that needs serious fixing because its annoying when this bathtub breaks.

I have also been having the problem where objects upgraded to be unbreakable will break and become impossible to repair (sims just stand there working on it forever, until the action is cancelled). With the huge patch that just came out the other day I was hopeful, but it looks like nothing has changed, as I tested it again today. There was no mention of it in the patch notes either. This problem has been going on for a long time. I wonder why it's so hard to fix.

Can confirm, this is STILL happening. Just had it happen to my high end stereo system. Don't know what the heck EA is doing by not patching this problem when it's been going on for over a year now.

EDIT: Surprisingly it did get 'fixed'... sort of. After a while it started playing music again, but was still sparking and wouldn't let me upgrade it, and I couldn't change the channel, just the song and volume.

Just a reminder to everyone who is experiencing this problem, there is a workaround.

1: Enter Build Mode

2: Move the object that is broken/unrepairable one tile. (If done right, you will briefly hear the "broken" tune play again. If you hear this, go ahead and move your object back to where it was.)

3: Exit Build Mode. (Your object should now be functional again.)

This does not fully resolve the issue, but it should save you a lot of simoleons instead of having to replace the object.

Note: This only works for Unbreakable objects as a workaround; objects that can still be breakable (Such as objects that don't have an Unbreakable upgrade) will remain broken if you attempt this.

I have been having this issue too for a while, but only my stereos are unrepairable. It is getting really tedious.

For now I can only replace broken objects. It seems to affect electrical appliances the most.

@tszrivan Did you upgrade that object to unbreakable ?

[visceral143]

I am having this issue as well. It started after the most current update on 11/26/19. I was level 7 handiness when I started repairing the More Views Video Station and now I'm halfway to level 10 and the video station is still not repaired. My sim has been repairing for over 4 hours.

Why would it break if it’s unbreakable?

But to answer your question, I honestly don’t remember. It’s been a problem before that was even possible so I don’t think it plays a huge role to be honest.
