Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you buy certain energy drinks like Power/INFERNO Sips (Discover University) and Liquid Rush (Jungle Adventure) normally from the market or debug mode. THIS IS NOT WITH THE INFINITE COMSUMEABLE CHEAT.
What happens when the bug occurs? When drinking these energy drinks, the Sim will drink endlessly gaining energy and hunger. the progress bar gets stuck in the middle. However, you can forcefully stop, but the drinks will not the empty (Power Sips). Except the Liquid Rush which it can disappear after the cancel action.
What do you expect to see? The energy drinks not endlessly and finishing it as normal. Emptying the cans to throw away.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 1.63.133.1020 <- This happened in the previous patch as well.

@InsaneStar   I tested this, and the Liquid Rush had no progress bar for my sim, but the Power-Sip did.

When on home lot they put the drinks down/washed them in the sink, elsewhere the can disappears, perhaps intentionally. Where were your sim when drinking these drinks, on home lot, or somewhere else?

[InsaneStar]

@DonroaAkashu At the Apartments of San Myshuno. When I did that, the Sim keeps drinking endlessly the energy drinks.

@InsaneStar Did you get the drinks the regular way or through BuyDebug ?

The can washing has a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-wash-soda-can-in-sink-instead-of-throwing-in/...

[InsaneStar]

Through BuyDebug. I did some testing with the energy drink situation again. It turns out certain lots/apartments got bugged with this. My main lot that I use a lot, Apartment Culpepper House 19, this bug happens on that apartment. The other Culpepper Houses that is not 19, is working fine. Meaning the energy drink consuming and finishing the cans to clean/throw away. I've tested the other apartments like the Jasmine Suite, it works fine.

I brought a video for proof.

@InsaneStar Could you test with regularly bought drinks as well. Buydebug objects often do have other bugs than when you get them through game play

In my testing I had a jungle adventure one in my inventory, that worked fine. The buydebug one I bought for Uni didn't work (although it was more of a not gaining energy than endless drinking).

I didn't test the apartment so there could be two factors to this

- Endless in apartments
- No gain with buyDebug ones.
