Ghost hunting glitch

Post by mudgenie »

I just wanted to warn everyone that the ghost hunting glitch is still happening even after the update.I decided to check if it still affected me and sure enough my game crashed and all my sims were standing by the mailboxes. Frustrating thing was that I was baking a birthday cake and the cake disappeared and no refund of LPs. So don't ghost hunt while you are doing anything important.

Thank you for the heads up. I haven't attempted ghost hunting for quite some time because of this issue and will continue to avoid it.

Even though my game hasn't crashed yet while doing some GH'ing, I'm getting scared by the idea of your warning.. =_=

Just wanted to warn folks who may not have thought of it or may not have experienced this glitch before, do not Ghost Hunt while doing the quests. My game has never crashed during Ghost Hunting before and it has just done so, twice now. Luckily I had recently uploaded to the cloud, even so I still lost my progress reading an encyclopedia.

The hours go on and your sims are working on their tasks in the cloud. So if you save after your sims have started a longer task, you won't lose progress, if you have to download your saved data :)

This is true. I didn't lose progress on reading the birdhouse magazine but unfortunately I saved just before having another Sim read the encyclopedia. I was trying to get a head start on the read an encyclopedia goal. :(

Hi new here..

I ghost hunt all day usually generate 15-20 lps a day depending on what else I have to do (work from home) I haven't had any problems with quests. I have 5 ghost hunters who work night shift.
