Stuck on Family Photo Screen After CAS (June 30 2026 Update)
After the June 30 2026 update, I can’t load into gameplay when I create a new Sim in CAS. I make the Sim (or household), click done, and it just gets stuck forever on the family photo/household preview screen. It never actually loads the world. This only happens with brand new households created in CAS. If I add a household straight from the Gallery or through Manage Worlds, it loads fine. I’ve already removed all mods and the entire Mods + Trays folders, repaired the game multiple times in the EA App, cleared the cache files, and even tried a full user files reset. Still no luck. No mods or CC at all right now.
Object stuck in fridge
My sim lived in an apartment and had fruit pie in her fridge. She moved into a new house and that fruit pie was not only in her fridge but also her household inventory. I cant put the pie from the household inventory onto the floor in build buy mode because it says system error. I cant drag it out of my fridge inventory. When i hover my cursor over the fruit pie it doesn't do anything. Its not showing the name, when its gonna spoil or how many servings there are left. My sims can interact with it though. They can grab servings and make it into a pack lunch. They literally have infinite fruit pie. I tested it with and without mods but no matter what i do, the fruit pie just keeps appearing in my fridge and household inventory.
Sims 4 Crash and Automatic Shutdown
The game randomly crashes and shuts down while in build mode. I have no Mods or CC on my game, and this has only happened after the last update. I am currently building on one of the Lots in Sulani, and it has happened 4 times. There is no warning, no error code, and a lag. It just shuts down, also I am using a MacBook Air.
The simulation workshop won't work
For some reason, the simulation workshop opens but does not display any neighborhood images; instead, every screen shows a red cross and an empty image. I've tried every possible solution, including reinstalling the update software and EA software, but I still can't open it.
Amoured catfish - any tips on catching them?
I've had my Sim fishing in the Hidden Pool for a good 50 hours, and so far, she has caught buckets of regular catfish, electric eels, and tambaqui, and attracted the attention of all the less desirable residents of the jungle. Not one armoured catfish. Is there a particular type of bait they prefer? I'm trying to complete the household collection, and this fish isn't biting.
Error code 132 keeps destroying my game
I play my game for several sim days/hours and out of nowhere this error hits me every time...usually upon trying to travel somewhere within Willow Creek. Once it hits though it seems there is nothing I can do to fix and traveling period after that (especially in Willow Creek) becomes hit or miss. Every time I see this error online people are talking about cc ladders and round pools. Well I'm not playing with any of those things. Am I really the only person experiencing this? If not I need some real answers and advice. I do play with mods but I monitor them regularly and always update accordingly.
Self-Assure trait doesn't stick
Gave my sim the self-assured trait when she aged into a young adult, but it doesn't show that she has it in CAS or the simology panel. She had a self-discovery which made the trait she gained from that her third, when I tried to go into CAS and give her self-assured back, it disappeared again.
Does anything determine the poses that sims do in the Gallery?
For example, Ive noticed some parents hold their newborn close and some far away with a pinched nose. But also the poses of the other age groups; do traits, relationship, compatibility, and things like that affect the poses they choose? Thank youEntering a Lot Causes Sims to Disappear Into a Rabbit Hole
Whenever I visit a lot with my Sim and they go inside the building, the game becomes extremely bugged. Instead of behaving normally, my Sim seems to disappear inside the building as if they are entering a rabbit hole. I can no longer properly see or interact with them, and gameplay becomes very glitchy while they are inside.Holidays in Batuu bugged, you cannot select Sims and play the World
Holidays in Batuu seem to be bugged. When I travel to Batuu, my Sims become greyed out and I cannot select them anymore. Sometimes the Sims still move around autonomously and do things by themselves, but I cannot control them or click on them properly. This makes Batuu basically unplayable, because the Sims are there but not selectable. I have noticed this issue when trying to go on holiday/travel to Batuu.Home Page Error After Loading
Once I hit start to play on the EA App, my game loads, very slowly. But then when it finally loads to the Home Screen to resume game, it is just a black screen. I have cleared cache's, removed mods, uninstalled then reinstalled. I literally have no clue what to do and I can't play
CAS freezes after creating a new sim/new game after the new update
Hoping that my report gets heard, I saw one other person mention this happening to them as well in the comments of someone else's post. I have tried absolutely everything: reinstalling the game, deleting the entire Sims 4 folder, and opening it up again to refresh/create new files. I play with mods and custom content, but I do not have them in the folders, so it cannot be a mod issue. Even then, I have updated and removed all the mods that are broken or not compatible with the new June 30th patch. I have deleted and backed up countless files to the point that it must just be a broken patch or bug, because nothing else has worked for me. The issue is that every time I open up the game, I will click New Game and create a sim, then click the check mark that allows you to complete the sim, which should supposedly have you select a season and later choose your world to play in, only it doesn't do that, and just completely freezes my game after I click the check mark. It grays it out so I can't click it again, and I can't click anything else. My sim is still moving in the background, and the music is still playing, but the action of clicking on the check mark to complete everything and move on to the next screens is stuck (the little pop-up where it shows a portrait of my sim, the household name, and the check mark on the bottom right). The only thing that will unfreeze it is when I press escape, putting me back in the create a sim where I can move my sim around, select the traits, etc. Again, I have deleted the folders and tested this to see if it'll work with a clean folder/install. It will work the very first time I create a new game, but will not work the second, third, fourth, etc., time I try to make a new game. It's like I'm forever stuck with one save, and one save only. I need a lot of help, or at least an explanation or acknowledgment of this issue. This cannot be my PC's issue or even my Sims 4 mods, CC, saves, etc., because this is happening after freshly reinstalling the game and creating NEW folders and Options.ini, Config.ini, etc., files. Another issue that I'm not understanding is the constant pop-ups that show up whenever I open my game and am on the main menu, which show all the packs I own and the mini bullet points showing you what's included in the packs. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I load into my game. I am sick of having to close out of every pack pop-up. This did not happen before.cant ask a specific sim to be part of a wedding?
so i have the wedding stories pack and two of my sims are engaged. i'm trying to ask the groom's best friend to be the ring bearer but none of the options for wedding roles show up. i've tried asking with both the bride and groom ( who both have max friendship with him); for the groom, the activities menu shows up but the only option is to practice fighting and when i try with the bride, the activities tab doesnt even show up. i've also tried re-announcing the engagement to him with both sims, scheduling the wedding first THEN asking him, resetting the sim, repaired my game, deleted cache files and even removed all mods but nothing has worked. has anyone else experienced this and is there anything else i should be trying?My Sims babys have gone missing at birth
