Hi, I had a similar bug with the Halloween event. The event triggered and all the inhabitants of Cahaya arrived in the house and acted as if they were on a community lot, and the gardener I ordered from Pocketmarket never arrived 400 M at the trash can. Yet my entry doors (3) are all set to family only.

That same thing happened to my game last night, and i had to shut the game off without saving.

I think I’ve understood: everyone who comes to the house during the Halloween event is hungry and sleepy. In fact, all the Cahaya come to my house to eat and drink. I’d like this bug to be fixed quickly please, it’s becoming annoying and impossible to talk to the kids given the crowd in the house and the garden. So no decoration rewards for the Halloween event.

I was just coming to report this! I thought that it was just gonna be a small family dinner, based on the text, but then every single Zoi my Zois new showed up! And they know a lot of people!

Their house is small, so everyone got stuck in one spot and was unable to move for most of the event, except for a few who managed to get free.

When the event was over, everyone was still stuck and couldn’t go home unless my Zoi called them away from the crowd and asked them to leave. After doing that, the other Zoi were able to leave since they weren’t stuck anymore.

The frame rate dropped like crazy because of the amount of Zoi in one place.

I don’t think this is intentional behavior Lol

During the Dinner:

After the Dinner:

^They were stuck like this for at least another hour lol

Video of the Chaos:

^Even MORE Zoi showed up at the end!

Another Funny Glitch that Happened (and you can see that light flickering is back, unfortunately):

Every single zoi in town came over, its not only the family dinner I came across another when it comes to going to the gym everyone is a Coach there 0 members its a full pile up my fps dropped to 4 last night.

@cmaney6 Oh wow, so it seems like a random bug that can happen with any event. I really hope they fix this soon because, wow, that’s gonna be annoying to deal with more than once. Before reading this thread, I thought it was because of the Dinner event… Uh oh lol

No problem! I should’ve known something was off, because the Dinner invitation was only between my daughter Zoi and her stepfather, but it got added to the schedules of her mom and her baby sister as well.

← Text between daughter and stepfather (So sweet)

I was confused when I saw the mom and baby’s schedules updated too, but I initially figured I had misunderstood the invitation and it was really a “Family Dinner” that included the whole household… then, when about 3 other people showed up, I was like, “Wait, this is a dinner party with friends too???” … and then boom, A WHOLE SEA OF PEOPLE STARTED WALKING INTO THE HOUSE :joy:

So much for quality meal time between stepfather and daughter.

Another funny thing: The little baby got lost in the sea of people at first. I had to find her, have her mom pick her up, and then have them hide out in the bedroom the rest of the event because it was too chaotic.

The mom was NOT happy because she’s a massive introvert :laughing:

Same just happened in my game as well. Should have been a family dinner only for 2 but the whole town came…

In the house - very small house, definitely not the best place for holding town hall meetings - nearly nobody was able to move as they were all standing within each other…

And similar like for @LazyTaco after the event only half of them were able to leave because they were all standing in each other an unable to move, completely stuck…

This went on for several in game hours. They were not able to get out of this crowd and thus out of the house. Only thing which helped was to demolish a wall near to them in build mode which teleported them out of the house after coming back into live mode.

This bug is really disturbing and should be fixed asap.

Psycat must be leaking the invite details to everyone :laughing:

Question to everyone: Is this happening in New saves, or was everyone on Old saves when it happened? I’m curious if this bug is caused by using existing saves.

My current save where this happened was started a couple of days after the Halloween update came out.

Ah okay, so it doesn’t matter if old or new. Thank you!

  • Steps to Reproduce:

  • My husband and wife zois were at one of the cafe events but the halloween event started shortly after so they both started heading home. I clicked the vehicle button on the wife and she started heading toward the road to spawn it like usual, but then she suddenly teleported home and the whole town was there. They came in, ate my food and made a mess. After the event a bunch left but a whole blob of zois seemed to get stuck just kind of bumping into each other, occassionally one or two would get out and go home but eventually I went into build and moved my washer into the center of the zoi blob and they dispersed.

Hey everyone (@here), thanks for the report! We’ve confirmed the issue and added it to the known issues list. We’ll let you know once there’s an update.

An abnormally large number of NPC Zois may visit during events.

Same happened to me the wife texted about having dinner and I replied and all the people in the town showed up. Made me think did she send the same text to everyone else she knew cause my zoi self didn’t know nun of thoes people.

The house piled up instantly with zois even the zois that came back to life was there, thats no longer playable.
