One of my Sims, a Werewolf, has suddenly started wearing her shoes indoors and taking them off on going outside. The household shoe rule is to take them off indoors, but somehow she's reversed them. I have a hunch her super speed is behind it breaking, but I can't verify that. I know it happened shortly after she defied the rule (Shoes Shmoes moodlet) and I manually had to make her follow the household rule through her interaction menu. I'm going to try some things to fix it (such as restarts or travel) but I wanted to at least let the existence of the problem be known. Something so minor I'm not sure they'll bother to fix, but gotta try. The Firaxium Wiring glitch has been around since the beginning and that's still around, sadly.

Update: Saved and restarted the game while the Sim was indoors. On returning, her shoes were off. Short-term solution. Too soon to tell if it's going to be a recurring or long-term problem.

@iamsweetmystery Did you only see it on the werewolf Sim ? Can you duplicate it in another house ?

Are you in a standard house or one you build yourself ?

First time it's verifiably happened. No clue how to recreate it as it's only been the one Sim so far. There have been other related issues, like Sims not putting their shoes back on when they leave for work or school, but this has been the first full reversal I've noticed. I'm keeping an eye out if it happens again to hopefully trace the source, but for now I'm clueless with only a sample size of 1. The house is from either the Gallery or Werewolves pack Library, but extensively remodeled by me. Wish I could be more helpful, but maybe others who have had this can chime in with more information. If it happens again, I'll see what I can discern from it.

@iamsweetmystery I know there was a similar report when the pack first came out but that was a problem with the house where the inside wasn't recognized as such properly by the game.

That wouldn't explain the switch though. I will try find the thread.

In this case, it was a complete reversal. I saw her wearing her shoes inside. I checked her interactions and the option to make her follow the rule wasn't there. I sent her outside hoping she would go out with her shoes on then take them off when I sent her back in. Instead, when she stepped outside, she took her shoes off (in winter no less) then put them back on when I sent her back in. I've used the feature with at least 2 other households and nothing this bizarre happened with them. It also didn't happen with her spouse and daughter, so I have no other point of reference. It's not a game breaker, but I figured it was still worth mentioning.
