Seasons Bug and Issues List

[Playalot]

Update: Feb. 2019 - This list is no longer being updated, due to the amount of bugs there are in-game. It's easier to search on them when asked about.

There's a bit of a list of bugs this patch has caused, which tbh is always expected. Note that not all games will experience all the bugs. For example in my game my sims can still harvest the Festival plants while in others, they can not.

- Some have report links, some may not. These are known by the devs.

**It appears that some (maybe all) of the changes to cheats may not actually be a bug but a design choice by the devs. TwistedMexi has a mod that reverses these changes and allows all cheats to work again. Follow the link to Twistedmexis patreon post where he explains this all much better than I can: http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=30038.0


** Please create a new topic (link here) when asking for help with game bugs or issues for this expansion, if you don't already see one. This is so each bug or issue has their own topic, helps troubleshoot and more easily searchable. **
