Hi, I’m not sure how this works or how I’m supposed to separate this by subject but here goes!
I’m not a crazy gamer so I don’t know many of the terms etc. but I’ve been playing a lot more recently and I downloaded the GTW expansion pack plus the Cool Kitchen and Fitness packs. I’ve noticed that there are several things that are bugging me out and I don’t know what to do about them.
1) I have two of the LICE freezers in my store and they’re filled with harvestables, teas and coffees, cakes and meals etc. and yet every time a customer opens them, they look interested but don’t buy anything. I’ve spent ages talking to them as well and they’re still not buying so there’s surely something wrong with the game right ??
2) In detective mode, when fulfilling an APB there is only ever one person (the suspect) and often when I arrest them, they don’t come to the station with me. My task is to interrogate them but half the time, they’re not there. The time before, I re-did the APB and the suspect came back when I arrested him again but the most recent time, the suspect still wasn’t there.
3) When using the photo studio, the whole game seems to have an attack after I’ve taken the pictures. It slows down even once the camera has closed and just glitches for a whole minute. Meanwhile my sim is off doing whatever the hell she wants.
4) The last time I opened my store, one of my workers (very satisfied - highest promotion) just didn’t turn up. There was no notification or anything to say why and next shift he was there??
5) I also had a few aspirations not tick off when I have achieved them. I’m literally watching my sims complete the tasks and the game isn’t acknowledging them. It’s really frustrating!
6) There have been a few noticeable glitches that I won’t list but suffice to say, it’s really annoying.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@LattiePattie I found a couple of bug reports made for the issues you list. Please click Me Too on the first post in each thread; the higher the amount the more notice that particular issue gets. Read the thread and answer any posed questions in it, they are asked in an effort to try to narrowing the issue down, for the sake of understanding it better.
1. Couldn't find a particular one. Exange the fridge to a copy. The Retails are dynamic, make sure it meets all other criterias of gameplay.
2. Suspect don't come to the station:

3. Only one photo:
4. Couldn't find a specific one, perhaps they are culled/deleted from the world. Do a Save As and exit the game completely, then reload and see if they show up. It sounds simple, but is a good reset for many issues. Save any sims you don't want culled in My Households, instead of Other Households (Manage Households view).
5. Party Animal aspiration not ticking off:

@LattiePattie, in addition to the fantastic list that @DonroaAkashu provided for you, I'm going to tag @SheriGR because she has played with the Lice Cold freezers extensively and is a big fan of them so she might be able to help you with that problem!

@LattiePattie Well, I just went through about 20+ hours of having the retail business open of one of my Sim families. In this shop I have 2 Lice Cold Freezers plus retail items on display for purchase, and one employee. In preparation to test the freezers and customers purchasing from them or not:
Then I opened the store.
I found the following:
If your freezers are not working, did you wait 6 or more hours after opening the store? Also, do you have, or have you had in the past, Mods &/or CC? If so, we could test to see if those are causing any of the issue.
I hope some of this information helps some.
