Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.45.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I play rotationally, I've had this issue happen before when I switch between households some kids get stuck in phases. My suggestion would be to frequently switch between households with kids who are currently in a phase and see what happens.
What happens when the bug occurs? A child or teen sim gets stuck in a phase after frequently switching my played households, I have now experienced this bug in two different ways as of now. 1. A child or teen sim gets stuck in a phase but the phase itself isn't functioning at all. While these sims are stuck in their phases it also seems they don't receive any school projects to work on ever. Using trait removal cheats works to get rid of these phases and game play goes back to normal. 2. A child or teen sim gets stuck in a phase (specifically one of the Picky Eater phases), the phase itself is fully functional along with other game play elements, but nothing I do helps get rid of the phase, not any game play methods or trait removal cheats. I've also been experiencing issues with the Family Bulletin Board object, the 'Clear Bulletin Board' interaction doesn't work, my sim just glitches out when attempting the interaction, also the 'Look at Drawing' and 'Read Note' interaction don't seem to do anything, I'm pretty sure those interactions used to give off a Buff of some sorts.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see phases come and go naturally through my game play, even if I do switch households on a regular basis, as well as the Family Bulletin Board object to work properly.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
The first variation of the child stuck in a phase bug has been happening since the release of Parenthood. It hasn't happened too many times but it has happened every now and then since I installed the Game Pack.

Hi @simvasion and @filipomel
we have this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Young-Adult-still-has-hidden-Childhood-Phases/m-p/6163741 which is kinda similar. It's just about ya still having those phases. Do you guys think this is the same issue ?
Good Luck
