Exactly. The energy bar can be in the full red, but those who experience the bug will have their sims out the bed in a sim-hour or two at most.

One’d think it would, but weirdly, a game repair doesn’t necessarily fix any iteration of this one for whatever reason. Just checked, and its open/active bug-report thread is over 50 pages by now, so that’s saying something, too…

Well, pre-kit patches are usually rather small. The pack patch will probably, hopefully, be more substantial.

You mean like waking up before their energy bar is full?

Hmm. A clean install of the game? Wouldn’t a game repair in Origin do the same (replace missing or broken game files)?

It’s these usual lame patches where you must count your blessings too, at least we won’t have to update any mods, thanks to their lazy effort.

Wasn’t the patch something like 490 megs? If I saw that right – seems rather big for the few things they listed as being fixed…

Sims not sleeping: sims will not stay asleep for too long (regardless of Free Will on/off), with seemingly no logical reason for it. It’s a really random one as I recall.

Disappearing buildings: a very annoying, and sadly still relatively common one since GtW, it either affects hidden lots (mostly the career lots), specific lots in a save, or all lots. It’s usually tied to randomly corrupted saves or the game generating corrupted cache files after each play session (I had the latter 2-3 times before, only a clean install ever fixed that), but there are other instances of it as well.

What are the ‘Sims not sleeping’ and ‘Get to Work buildings disappearing’ about?

Well, this is one underwhelming patch to be sure…
