Re: Lights don't turn on or off

Just to make sure everyone is me too/posting in the right thread.

If you have issues with the auto-light settings reverting and lights not turning on/off on their own, please use either of these threads (depending if you play on a haunted lot or not):

- https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/PSP-Lights-revert-to-auto-on-Haunted-Lot/td-p/10029896

This thread if for lights not turning on/off at all anymore. So you manually choose to turn them on and they don't (unless I'm misunderstanding @TheBl4ckSh33p and they also just have issues with auto-lights.

Good Luck

@crinrict Yes, most lights just are stuck in on or off mode. And auto light doesn't work with them.

Same here, replacing the lights with new ones fixes it, but only temporarily.

Does this only occur on Xbox? Has anyone seen this on a different platform? Does this only occur after extended gameplay? Or with a specific light? Does it happen on multiple lots? Does it only occur in certain rooms on a lot, or throughout the entire house?

Can anyone experiencing this possibly upload a lot to the Gallery where you've seen it occur? Or a save file? You can DM me a link to your saves, thanks so much!

@SimGuruNick I’m seeing this on PC, and unfortunately there seems to be no real reason or consistency with it. It isn’t just one lot or save, sometimes it’s just one room. It just happens randomly while playing for a while. Usually either replacing all the lights, reloading the lot, or just playing longer will cause them to work again, once I had to close then reload the game. It’s not currently happening in any of my saves, but pops up without warning.
