I'm locking this thread as I made a new one: Various Text and Translation Errors

Threads specific to languages can now be found in each language section (work in progress) if available in the corresponding language.

Links in the new thread will be updated as they are published.

1.  Not a text error, by design.  I am not sure if this is a text error but the issue is described in this thread (http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/GTW-Jail-door-is-actually-a-wall/m-p/5150456/highlig...).  This is in regards to the reward objects from the detective career.  The descriptions on the object are wrong are either the objects themselves are wrong.  The items have the wrong descriptions.

These rewards have the description of a wall and look and act like a wall.

Spoiler

These two say door but look exactly like a wall.  They don't function like a door.  They are exact duplicates of the wall.

@canelacaliente

as per request by @greenxen, I split your post. She has a special system to report her text errors so it's better if you have your own thread for the ones you want to report.

Just use this one for all the errors you find.

Thanks

Actually it is not a bug. This is flavor text since they look like jail cell doors or jail cell walls so to speak. Object text has a lot of flavor and most times you can't take then literal unless we explicitly say so.

I do appreciate the feedback though, will make notes for future objects.

Thanks much!

2.  Not a text error.  A tuning issue.  Although I marked this thread solved, I have a question about the emotional aura text in the game.  There seems to be some discrepancies on the description of objects and the emotional aura they output. These discrepancies are causing people to wonder if the objects are functioning as intended.

I posted pictures in this thread of the textual discrepancies:

According to a picture in this thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/OPEN-Can-t-Mold-Clay-Into-Brick-Formation/m-p/507250...

The clay has an emotional aura of 2.  When placed next to the Sim it automatically generates and emotional aura.  This indicates it has a greater emotional aura than 2.  After further testing, I discovered clay sculptures have an emotional aura of 3.  I used a picture from @greenxen thread because the clay sculptures are no longer viable in debug mode.

Collections

The pictures below show the differences in text between the collectibles in the game.  There are three pictures for each and they will follow this pattern:

First Picture - The description of the collectible when you select it in build mode

Second Picture - The description of the collectible when you view it in debug mode

Third Picture - The hoover over text in live mode

That would be something i can forward design to look at, it seems like a tuning issue, not a text issue.
Thanks!

3.  Thanks for forwarding the issue.  I am still reporting new things I find with emotional auras in that thread as I test it out in my game. 

I think I have finally found a real text error.  The lesson on the photography skill needs to be updated.  We no longer have the option in game to click on a photograph and add it to our memories.  The information on tagging, adding an emotion, and reminiscing about memories should probably have its own lesson or be moved to the lesson on the camera since these are now base game functions.

4.  Baking skill books showing incorrect prices as seen here:  http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/OPEN-GTW-Baking-Skill-Books-Showing-Incorrect-Price/...

5.  Text says action is under Funny when it is actually located under Mean:

 6.  GTW cameras don't display in the text they add to the photography skill.  All other skill objects display what skill they contribute to in the text.

Sorry to be pedantic but there is a spelling error once a child completes the mental childhood aspiration. 

It says "becoming an brilliant child" whereas it should be "becoming a brilliant child", sorry again to nag.
