Hi @briana081100 Many other players are reporting having this same issue (I know I am!) so at least you can know it's not just you. It appears to have started with the June 3rd game patch. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon. Here's a link to the Bug Report, please consider clicking the Me Too button on the first post.
It's still one of my favorite stuff packs for all the cool CAS and Build/Buy items :D
I'm just a regular Sims player, I don't work for EA.

Alright so I was having the same issue about progress bar not moving during movie. I was getting tired of it because I couldn't find a solution. I finally found one! I went into build mode and sold my TV. I bought another one and that seems to work for some reason. Maybe try that and see if it works for you too.

Playing on Mac, having this bug. If a sim starts to watch a movie, the bar isn't moving anywhere and the action will never end.
@tiny_tina01 Glad that worked out for you, no difference in my game sadly.

I wanted to add that not only will my Sims sit around and watch a movie forever with no progress (and no accompanying moodlet), the same thing happens with the puppet theater from Kids Room.

I thought it was just me, it is not easy to find these reports in Spanish. I hope they fix it soon because I like my Sims to watch movies.

Yeah, I hope they will fix this quickly. I currently have a club with full of celebrity actors and actresses. When I gather my club on a Theatre on Del Sol Valley for movie premieres or something like that, (just roleplaying around) it doesn't move a single bit when they try watching a movie together. So we know It's not working on other lots neither.

Sadly no fix for this issue nor the one with the butler :/ Seems like the teams are too busy putting out new stuff and ignoring the old broken ones, sigh. What's the use of buying Nifty Knitting if in the end the whole knitting thing is gonna be bugged with no workarounds and there will be no fix ever? I'm disappointed.
