Someone please tell me why after every patch my game is always broken
After the natures event patch, my game is broken again. One of the quest was to adopt a pet. I adopted a pet into my household, and when I re-launch the game, my pet wasn’t even a part of my household. The convenience bush has never worked since I bought the game, the logic tables play button isn’t even clickable. It says my SIM does not have permission to use this object. I don’t know by anyone else, but I am sick and tired of spending my money on a game that does not work. EA please stop coming out with these new expansion packs and game packs and kits and things if you can’t fix the fundamental problems with this game. It is truly unfair to the customers.songbird8762 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer17Views1like0CommentsQuitting the game
The game is actually so disappointing. After all these years nothing works and they obviously don’t gaf and are throwing out pack after pack instead of fixing issues that have been here for years. This update breaking everything and making it unplayable was the last straw for me.ikdywq2szyer5 hours agoNewcomer26Views2likes0CommentsLife and Death Notifications are Too Long
Hello, Life and Death Notifications for the festivals are too long. Most festival notifications in the past have been about 10-20 characters in length, and definitely less than a paragraph. They don't obstruct the gameplay screen. Life and Death's festival notifications are three paragraphs long. It is extremely disruptive to gameplay. While I understand that changing the festival notification system is probably not an easy fix, I think shortening the Life and Death Expansion Pack festival notifications (it includes the time???) would be an easy and helpful fix. Thank you.lahawkin5 hours agoRising Newcomer10Views0likes0CommentsSchools Could Be So Fun
It goes without saying that we need elementary school gameplay. But the existing ones could use some help, too. University is the most in need of an overhaul. Sims 2 University was one of my favorite packs to play but this one is just...not. The homework, projects and getting to and from class take soooo long that there's barely time for anything else. If you're on a sports team, forget it - you don't even have time to sleep. Sims 2 University was about college LIFE not college WORK. Let's bring back more of that. For high school, prom is a fun idea except that the annoying ceremony pops up before you even have time to do much. That needs to be much shorter (or eliminated?) and happen later in the night. In high school classes, why do they always go to the same space? There are two classrooms - Sims should alternate. Also, instead of always just sitting there scribbling (yawn) maybe they could do projects, like in the Scientist career. It would also be more fun if more of the played Sims attend classes. I will have maybe one of those, and 12 randos that I can't find in households to delete. I'm so tired of seeing Reiko Hayaski that I can't see straight.LolaSwann5 hours agoRising Rookie5Views0likes0CommentsMessy Beds
Hey, I really miss the old feature where Sims would leave their beds messy after sleeping. It added a small but meaningful layer of realism and personality, especially for storytelling and immersion. Now, Sims automatically makes the bed after getting up, and it feels too robotic and perfect every time. Not every Sim should be neat! It would be great if this could be tied to traits like Slob, Lazy, or Carefree, or even randomized so some Sims make the bed and others leave it messy. Please consider bringing back messy beds, or at least giving us the option to toggle it in gameplay settings. Little details like this are what made The Sims feel alive and quirky. Thanks for listening and for continuing to improve the game!11Views2likes2CommentsPreteens need to be in The Sims 4 SOON
Hey guys! As a preteen myself, I am dissatisfied with the fact that there are no pre-teens. I either have to make myself look 8 or 17. So here is my idea for preteens: Height: They could have a height in between children and teens, aka 5'2. Body: Men could have a less muscular physique, while girls could have smaller breasts than teens. They both would have rounded facial features in comparison to teens but still have more mature faces than kids. Romance: Obviously, preteens have limited romance. Here are the interactions they CAN do: First Kiss Ask to be romantic partner Offer rose Kiss hands Kiss cheek Embrace Flirt Compliment Appearance Give romantic gift Ask to be romantic partner Pick-Up Line Flirtatious Joke Hold Hands Blow A Kiss Offer/Receive Massage BTW, Preteens can only date other preteens. Cooking: Preteen sims can usually cook these 3 meals: Garden Salad Chips and Salsa Poke Bowl That is, unless they assist an older sim (Teen-Elder) in cooking. Then perhaps they can cook real meals. Babysitting: Preteens can babysit younger siblings (Newborn-Child) while parents are away. they might even get paid up to 100 simoleons! School: As preteens do, they will attend middle school. You can, of course, follow them, like you can teens in HSY. Their homework is a red medium sized notebook. Puberty: On the 1st day of being a Preteen, they will start puberty, in which they will develop acne, body odor, and have voice cracks. Use acne cream to end acne and deodorant to stop BO. Voice cracks can't be stopped, so don't try to! If you have parenthood installed, preteens will also have mood swings, like teens, except more frequently. I hope EA can see this and maybe add preteens to the game. Thank you for reading and reply to give me advice or state YOUR opinion. Either way, I'd be happy to receive a message. 😃danroyalty7 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer82Views8likes2Commentsmba43
I was thinking that it would be nice if they created a farm Sims, where you can build any type of farm you like. With farm animals and crops, and farm equipment that would be fun, I love farming games, and I am sure others may like it as well. Just a thought.mba437 hours agoNewcomer7Views0likes0Commentscan the event rewards be in a basegame update?
i don't mean the one we currently have, i meant the other one the event from the very start of the year https://modthesims.info/d/688896/unlock-blast-from-the-past-event-items.html i bet not everyone have these rewards either because they didn't had the time or because it never popped up (mine is the latter but again i downloaded The Sims 4 in its other website for free before basegame became free) i think it's only fair if we have these items in basegame i prefer not having event rewards at all and it's mainly because of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and it's not fair some simmers have these things while others don't...infact i want to have the rewards in basegame so everybody have these items that came with the event rewards so can the event rewards from the start of this year be in basegame in a basegame update? (if not in the next update in a month, maybe in the near future?) i know we have a mod i've shared in the link but we shouldn't rely on mods and non-pc users can't use mods to keep in mindsailorleontine8 hours agoSeasoned Ace15Views1like1CommentNo more live events!
Nobody asked for this. Seriously. I'm sure the executives at EA love live events because they pump up login numbers, but they're terrible for the players: Inciting FOMO- being limited-time events with no other official way to unlock the content, players that can't/won't use mods miss out if they're not playing during the time an event is live. Forcing a specific playstyle- The appeal of The Sims has always been that it's your sandbox to do what you want in, but unless a player completely avoids opening the game in online mode, these events intrude upon gameplay without an opt-out. That was probably the thing that annoyed me most about Reaper's Rewards, having the event pop up in saves I didn't intend to play through it in. Forcing online play- The Sims 4 is a single-player game, therefore playing online should never be mandatory, let alone a requirement to get and keep content. Bugs, bugs, bugs- The Happy at Home content had to be handed out to everyone because so many people had trouble getting it in the intended manner; Answers HQ and social media were flooded for the duration of the event with reports of problems playing Reaper's Rewards and getting its loot. I don't trust that Cozy Celebrations is going to be any better in that regard. Seriously, bugs- The dev time and energy that's going into pushing this mobile-game-esque nonsense would be much better spent fixing major issues with the game, as the playerbase has been clamoring for for years and as EA has promised they were going to devote more time to. When I saw there was a patch today, I was hoping it would include some of those fixes. At the very least, it's unacceptable that trans bodies are still broken several months and several patches after that bug was introduced, despite EA/Maxis's lip service to depicting diverse Sims and a modder showing how easy it was to fix within a week of the patch. Please, EA. Save this nonsense for multiplayer games and/or Project Rene (since it doesn't sound like it's going to be a traditional Sims game anyway.) Sims 4 doesn't need it and the players don't want it. As for me, I may just keep my game totally offline until after the event so it doesn't interrupt my gameplay. Until the next FOMO-fest comes around, anyway...flying-womrats8 hours agoRising Vanguard1.1KViews37likes56CommentsAbandoning newer packs' features
I feel like with each new pack there are more and more holes with crosspack support. What's the point in having a bucket list feature if the newest pack adds 0 activities to the list? B&H also have a lot of holes, like not having the option to do/receive manicure, get a make over with the stylist chair, etc. This new pack also only adds two new activities to the Business and Clubs... a generic fairy one and the apothecary skill. It would be nice to choose either good or bad fairy interactions and more integration with other aspects of the pack, not necessarily related to skill building, like making nature press items.Ren_Ravendancer8 hours agoSeasoned Adventurer16Views3likes0CommentsPatches breaking more than they fix.
EA produces lots of video games. But it seems to me that the sims franchise is the only one that has so many issues, complaints, bugs, and needs constant patches. When EA releases patches to fix bugs and add content updates, they end up introducing new bugs. Then players have to wait for hotfixes and new patch updates. I mean, seriously, who wants to update their game when there is a looming possibility of it breaking after the patch? I've played games with bugs before. I mean, sometimes, depending on the bug. the player can take advantage of it during gameplay. Skyrim is an example of a game I've played, where people were making videos demonstrating how to use bugs to enhance gameplay. But to my knowledge, no one has ever mentioned finding a bug in the sims 4 that players could use to their advantage. For example, being able to buy groceries from the vendor stalls in henford for free or university students doing poorly on a presentation, but getting a good grade anyway, or a player selling items from the sim's inventory, but the item remains in the sim's inventory, and they keep selling the same item and getting free simoleons. Instead, there are lists and lists of bugs that break gameplay and then don't get fixed for years. Sometimes, modders release a fix (but not all players use mods) for bugs while players wait for EA to fix it. In the recent patch, EA fixed a bug introduced by discover university, where discovery quests were interrupting event progress. Discover university was released in 2019 and the bug is being fixed in 2024. I mean, how does EA take up to 5 years to fix bugs while wanting players to continue buying DLCs and updating their game (which usually results in new bugs being introduced)?pandacookiesims9 hours agoSeasoned Veteran918Views26likes19CommentsJust fix the game :(
Hi, this is just a long rant! Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE the sims. I've been playing for a few years now and it truly is one of my favorite things. However, I am getting irritated with the lack of care EA has for the game. I don't want new packs or **bleep**ty made kits--I want the actual game itself FIXED! I've never understood why EA chooses to crank out more and more overly expensive kits and expansion packs just to get money, rather than fixing their game and performance issues. At the end of the day, it's just lack of care. All they seem to care about is profit. Players have been voicing their frustrations for years, begging for bug fixes and updates to core gameplay mechanics--but those pleas constantly fall on deaf ears. Instead of addressing the broken features we ALREADY PAID for, EA throws together rushed content and expects us to fork over even more money. It's exhausting. I love this game so much, and it hurts to see it neglected like this. The community deserves better. We’re not asking for much--just a stable, functional game that lives up to its potential. And do NOT get me started on them SOMEHOW just getting rid of pregnancy?? Do they just not have gameplay testers???29Views1like0CommentsThe Sims 4 does not have "Spaghetti Code" and you don't know what that is
The Sims 4, plain and simple, does not have "spaghetti code". Spaghetti code is a thing- and it's when a game is cobbled together so haphazardly it's nigh-on impossible to understand what's happening when you look at how it works. The Sims 4 is astonishingly readable- because it's a generally cleanly put together game, aside from some bloat in a few places (bloat in the context of "a lot of text", which doesn't translate to "worse performance"- I'm referring to things like every single social interaction having 500 billion lines of text telling it how to handle it when a sim has a certain social preference, that sort of thing.) (This post was originally in response to a thread posted in September 2024, but the commentary it makes is about generalized statements a LOT of Sims players believe and parrot without actually knowing what they are talking about.) This post is inspired by this bafflingly incomprehensible Reddit post, which claims the following ridiculous things, that I will now dissect one by one. As the topic of this post is "speaking authoritatively when you have no clue" please understand that I am speaking authoritatively here...but I have at least a reasonable level of a clue as well as further context from, y'know, modding the game for 25 years and being obsessive about watching videos about how games work on the inside. At the very least, even if some of the specifics here are wrong, I think I can assure you that I have a good enough idea of how this all works to get pissed about it! Anyway: -The Sims 4's age means that most people are playing on outdated hardware. The Sims 4 being 10 years old means most people would be playing on hardware good enough for it. Unless most players are using hardware they owned from before the game came out. Which is...simply not true, there's no way that's accurate. The older the game gets, the better the average player's hardware will be, simply due to...the linear nature of time? -The game crashes on my top of the line computer ...alright? That isn't indicative of issues with the game itself. I had 3 crashes the weekend after the September 2024 patch that were DX11 or mods related, and that was more crashes in 2 days than I usually experience in an entire year. The game simply isn't a crash-prone mess, that's just plain not true. And even if it were, better or worse hardware isn't necessarily a cause of something like that. Crashes happen most often when software fails to understand what it's meant to be doing for some major reason, and rather than struggle, or freeze, it will simply close to prevent itself from overloading itself or your computer. A crash is software recognizing something's wrong, and having no idea how to fix it. Software "Crashes" in the background all the time, but has debugging and whatnot that save it from getting too upset. Whenever you get an exception, that's a crash- except the game knows how to handle it, so it doesn't crash. You know how in old SNES and Genesis era games, you could do some wacky obscure sequence of things and get to a Level Select menu? That was a crash. When software crashes, it has crash handlers. Sometimes in older games the crash handler simply said "Instead of making the game screech a single tone and the screen stop displaying anything, simply reset into a level select debug menu! Then the player gets a bonus instead of frustration." That's what those menus were! They were crash handlers. Very creative ways to hide that whatever the player just did, the game didn't understand how to handle. Heck, even Minus World from Mario is a crash handler. It's just the game being told to go with the flow and screw some stuff up instead of exploding. For example, you may have seen in an error report you've skimmed, something about an invalid value. Maybe a mod, or a line of EA code, says "Hey, I wanna do this, with that!". But "This" doesn't actually support "that". So the game says "Wait a minute, THIS can't do THAT...let's just tell THIS to do whatever it does by default". The result is that the game, instead of crashing because it has no idea what to do, ignores the "THAT" instruction, and does whatever it would normally do by default, because the code defines "a default option" in the first place. Make sense? When the game doesn't define a way to resolve these issues, it explodes. That is what a crash is, 99% of the time- and it has NOTHING to do with hardware. Trust me when I say that almost every game you play is experiencing tiny crashes in the background the entire time you're playing it. It just handles them silently. Only the most extreme edge cases actually cause a game to crash. Next time you see a Sim jump into a T-pose and keep going like nothing happened- remember. That's a crash. The game just crashed and solved itself right in front of you, and it's doing that CONSTANTLY! -The devs are trying to balance 10 year old code with new code Simply put, this makes no sense. The devs aren't writing in different coding languages every year. The game has a way it works and they continue to build it using that same methodology. They aren't shoving different code in there and hoping the old code understands it. That's just simply not how code works. I'm not even sure how to dumb this explanation down further, it's that simple- it's not how code works. It's not like the base game is old english ye olde chaucer's tales style writing and the new code is modern twitter slang. It's all one language, it all follows the same rules. If it didn't the game would simply not run. This particular complaint full stop makes no sense whatsoever. -While accomodating hardware that is 10 years old The game has gotten recommended requirements updates multiple times and I believe gets them with every single expansion. This just plain isn't true. The game is fully not built to run perfectly on hardware from when it came out, the requirements continue to advance. It's also a game with options to tone things down. So as your hardware potentially ages out, you can adjust. There have been several major updates to the game that locked older hardware out, in fact- Does nobody remember the 32/64 bit mac stuff? -The code was shakey to begin with I'm assuming this is in reference to the commonly-repeated claim that The Sims 4 has struggles as a result of being originally designed to be multiplayer. My dudes- this is not how anything works. Again I struggle to dumb this one down because the simple answer is "that's not how it works"! It's like saying you ordered a steak. But then you changed your mind while they were cooking it, and got fish instead. And that's why your fish tasted weird. No, your fish tasted weird because it was a weird piece of fish. And changing to fish didn't change any of the sides, the plates, the table, the drinks, it just changed from steak to fish. That would maybe affect how long it took your oder to come out. Maybe the fish is a bit underdone because they tried to get it out at the same time as they wanted to. Maybe the portion is smaller. But that doesn't mean the restaurant, as a whole entity, and your entire table's meals, every time you come eat here, are now woefully and irreparably behind and lacking. Weird metaphor, but...it's just not how it works. There are a handful of things behind the scenes deep deep deep in The Sims 4's code that are affected by this choice to originally account for multiplayer- but they're DRAMATICALLY fewer and farther between than you could ever imagine, and are largely related to how the game calculates time and processes concurrent ifnormation, things important for multiplayer gaming. One example I've heard is that when Sims pick up dishes, they pick them up one at a time, with a pause between, regardless of how close the dishes are. Now, I don't have a source on this, so- like a logical person who can think for themselves- don't take it at face value, but I do recall reading this is related to some sort of internal processing logic that wayyyyy back in its family tree has multiplayer origins. But the huge bulk of the way the game works has NOTHING! to do with anything from any supposed early multiplayer builds. Also, the code just isn't shakey. As a modder I'm looking at a lot of it all the time. It's just not. It's actually really clean and readable and simple. I'm not a script modder so I can't personally speak on the scripting side of things (Script is much deeper than the XMLs and tuning we use for most mods), but from what script modders have told me, it, too, is perfectly parseable and logical and slick. This...just isn't how code works. -In order to optimize performance nobody would be able to play it Again, another thing that just plain makes no sense. You cannot spend an entire post discussing how the game is 10 years old and then declare it can't run like a 10 year old game would on modern hardware, because modern hardware wouldn't handle it. Also, not sure how this person didn't realize this, but the game got MAJOR FOUNDATIONAL PERFORMANCE UPGRADES in the September patch, before they even made this post. The game JUST got optimized performance, and it doesn't make it worse for anybody. Also, how on earth would OPTIMIZING performance make performance WORSE? You don't optimize performance of a video game by making it more complicated to run, that's literally the exact opposite. And as a bonus I want to call out this dumbfounding comment on the same post: "It is based on the game being build on bad code. Everything added to it disrupts the original code which means every new pack needs about 4-5 more updates to correct the game." This. Is. Not. How. Code. Works. Adding new code does not "disrupt" the original code, the same way writing new sentences does not disrupt the alphabet. Adding new pages to a book does not disrupt the existing chapters. Shoving an extra paragraph of context into a weird chapter does not disrupt anything else about the entire book. Weird metaphors, again, but this stuff is hard to explain if you aren't familiar with it, but even unfamiliar with it- it's not hard to understand that this isn't how code works. It's also not hard to NOT ASSUME IT IS and declare so authoritatively! The implication with this comment is that the devs blindly shove random things into the existing game and hope it works and release it and then slowly fix it over time after release, which is just bafflingly, mind-numbingly, eye-twitchingly ignorant of how games are made. When the game gets patches after releases it's because suddenly thousands upon thousands of people can play the game in tens of thousands of different ways all in ONE AFTERNOON- which is going to reveal edge cases, strange contingencies, etc that no dev team could POSSIBLY have ever encountered without YEARS of testing by hand. Patches are a result of crowd-sourced testing. (I'm not even going to comment on the Sims community's overusage of calling things "unplayable", but note that pretty much never has a pack come out and literally been unplayable, except my wedding stories). When a new pack comes out and 2 million people play it for 40 minutes each? That's one hundred and fifty two years of play time. That, my dudes, is why bugs get found by players after launch that were missed by devs ahead of time. This just plain and simple isn't how games are made. It's not how code works. It's not how software works. It's not how anything works. There are SO MANY wild misconceptions about this game and I'm sorry but almost every single one stems from proud, abject ignorance. PLEASE think critically about these kinds of things and do me one simple favor: If you don't understand how something works......don't tell people how they should think it does? (And do me a second favor- Actually praise the dev team when they do things! These issues and their solutions are not the dev team's choices! They are beholden by executives! And we should get those executives attention by noticing very loudly and publicly when the fixes we want to see are shown to us, to get the devs the actual time and money required to make them! I had intermittent lag spikes for over 2 years! I have been begging them to even MENTION knowing they happen! They have never publicly acknowledged these terrible lag spikes, I was worried they'd be with the game for the rest of time, and you know what? THEY WERE FIXED IN THAT SEPTEMBER PATCH! THEY ARE GONE! COMPLETELY GONE! No longer does the game go laggy switching between build mode and live mode! No longer does it randomly chug to 20FPS and never go back, unless I press escape! No longer does it sometimes refuse to go back and I have to restart the game! This issue has been ELIMINATED, the Sims 4 runs better after that september patch with every single pack and tons of mods for me than it did on launch with nothing. And nobody's talking about it! And random redditors are making posts about how the game runs bad?! Give me a break!)Intern_Waffle_6410 hours agoSeasoned Veteran180Views1like9CommentsSuggestion for Menopause for the Adult Life Stage
I do wonder what age range is suggested for the adult life stage. In my mind, it is between 40 and 65, mainly because the animations for the Elder life stage do not apply to that age range. And being 50 myself (yay for older Sims players!), I have maybe a few grey hairs on my head, and I enjoy good health (and anyone my age can tell you that in your head, you still feel like you are in your 20s). So my suggestion is that somewhere midway through the adult life stage, female sims go through perimenopause and then menopause stage. My reasoning is twofold. First, of course, it brings a level of realism to the game. Women don't suddenly stop being able to get pregnant overnight. It is a process of diminishing fertility (the sims could be less likely to get pregnant from try-for-baby woohoo during the first half of the adult life stage). Second, adult sims who get pregnant late into the adult stage will die before their children are teens, in some cases. You see it when NPCs have children through neighbourhood stories when they are very late adulthood, and then the children disappear from the game when their parents die. In real life, if a woman, say, at 50, has a child (which is rare), she would be 70 when that child reaches 20. and 65-70 is, in my mind, when you become an elder. Another cheeky suggestion would be that there should be more greying hair options for the Adult life stage. Currently, there are only two (a black and brown swatch). Anyway, just some thoughts! EDIT: I don't know why my post made so many people emotional - the Sims team doesn't even listen to us about game-breaking bugs, but everyone seems to be having a fit that the Sims team will implement my feeble feedback post and destroy everyone's games. This has been hilarious, folks.gertie4711 hours agoSeasoned Veteran1KViews11likes74CommentsCan we have some worlds that's not from Europe?

For example a Sim has a simple bed that goes with the decor but you have the Simoleons to pay for a much better mattress you just click on the bed and select "Buy a new Mattress" then a list of amounts pops up and you select how much you want to pay and the level changes the energy and comfort level of the mattress. Birdbath Add Water - Interaction Add Bird Animations Clean - Interaction Dump Water - Interaction Make it gradually look dirty Buffet Table & Dining Table with the Tablecloth.

Seaweed Body Wraps please Vichy Shower for the Body Wraps Dog & Cat Beds I honestly would love to the depths of most to be able to tuck them in.

This is a reference to the Dracula from 1979 starring Frank Langella. This is also Vampire lore accurate. They used to take all white or all black horses into cemeteries and make them walk across the graves. If there is a grave the horse refused to walk over, then that is where they determined a vampire was resting. Evil Vampires to make flowers wilt when they pass by Vampires and Ghosts get a dance animation exclusive to just them. When slow dancing with another Vampire or ghost they will start hovering in midair while doing the dance. Vampires have a favorite Plasma Type Unlockable new Vampire Power - Eclipsing Fog just like Sims 3 Parasols will help to shield a Vampire from the Sun for short periods Hospitals Sims can go in and donate plasma. Vampires on the other hand hand can go in & choose to steal or purchase plasma from the unscrupulous. (Only Lovers Left Alive Reference) I would like it if fastidious neat freak Vampires would have an occasional dusting of their coffin & maybe spray something like Febreeze inside it, just for laughs Sims will get the feeling they are being hunted like in Sims 3 If Burglars get introduced Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum. Like staying in and ordering Take Out. (In fact that would be a wonderfully morbid moodlet) Chance to make the burglar their minion. Forgotten Hollow should get its own Cemetery Lot & Bell Tower Werewolves Update If they don't already have this Werewolves should have the "Smells Like Wet Dog" moodlet after they shower. Werewolves cannot wear silver jewelry or hold canes w/ a silver handle Weather Update Fog - Light Fog Pea Soup Fog - Thicker fog Eclipsing Fog - Thickest and Supernatural in Nature and a part of a Vampire's learnable powers.
