my sims suddenly can’t cook
My sim suddenly can’t cook properly. After taking ingredients out of the fridge, they get the “can’t reach” routing error and refuse to use the counters they normally prep food on. What’s strange is that they will only continue the cooking process if they go to one specific counter elsewhere in the house. However, if I place items on that specific counter, they still won’t start cooking from there. That room is not a kitchen, so I don’t want them constantly running there, and I also don’t want to move that counter into the kitchen because it’s a different style. For reference: the counters in my kitchen are S. Cargeaux Counter, the one specific counter they keep trying to use is The Harbinger Counter I’m not sure yet whether this is caused by mods or CC. I still need to check, but I haven’t installed any new mods recently, and there was a noticeable gap between my last mod installation and when this issue started happening. Update: I’ve discovered that my sims will use any counter of any style as long as it is NOT placed in the kitchen. The moment the same counter is placed back into the kitchen, they refuse to use it for cooking. Appliances placed on counters — such as microwaves, tea makers, etc. — continue to function normally even when the counters are in the kitchen. Update 2: I remembered that I had previously changed item placement on the kitchen counters, so I reverted them back to how they were before. For clarity, I’ll refer to the counters as follows: Counter A: a counter that still has 1–2 items on it Counter B: a completely empty counter After reverting the item placement, my sims are now able to cook in the kitchen again. However, they will only use Counter A. Counter B is still not usable for food prep. I tested this by having two sims cook together. The sim standing in front of Counter B used to participate in the cooking before this issue occured, but now the sim B only stand idle and do nothing.Solvedtd2024ea2 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer21Views0likes1CommentEvent not visible in game
I cant participate in the Deck the Palms event asit was never available for me in the game. The Support guys said it is server issue on the EA side and I should write it here. So here it is.

I remodeled a Maxis lot, but despite not moving the stairs or making any substantial edits to the frame of the lot, my sims can't access the second floor at all. When I click on the second floor, nothing happens. There is no "Go Here" and if I try to interact with any items on the second floor, my sims will complain that it's not accessible. I've tried everything: delete platforms, rebuild walls/floors, use a ladder, try different stairs, remove mods, clear cache. It makes absolutely no sense why the second floor is disabled. It has to be a bug. I've seen other users on this forum complain about the same issue recently. Is there a solve in the works?

I have a problem with my sims. The issue is that whenever I want my sim to interact with someone, their relationship instantly decreases and they start arguing. Even if I just give a simple compliment, the relationship still goes down. I also have “Mischief” options available, which I don’t understand at all because I have that skill at 0. I have MCCC installed and I’ve turned off mean autonomy, and I also disabled it in the normal game settings. I don’t understand this. They can’t have a normal conversationVeweFai3 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer58Views0likes3Comments... Child Eternally Grieving.
Hello, I have a child who lost a "friend" (unknown, because I tried to look for ghosts, as he didn't even receive the usual phone call ...) and now he has been grieving all summer. He is unable to go to the Grieving Counsel, as I click on the option but nothing happens ... and now I am stuck with this eternally sad kid (it's been 2 sim weeks since the supposed death): PLEASE HELP?

I know this has been posted before, but I can't find anything newer than 4 years old, and technology changes rapidly. Does anyone have any recommendations for a set up to play the Sims 4 (and future games) with all packs, along with lots of mods and cc? I have a Macbook right now and it's not cutting it. The graphics are getting bad, and my game is getting slow. I would really like to get into storytelling and sharing these stories on YouTube and other social media. So I guess I am also asking what would be a good set up that would run the game with the above, along with the necessary creative tools to edit photos and videos. (I can always use the Macbook for the editing, but just in case there is something out there that handles both well, I thought I'd ask!) Thank you for your help, and Happy Simming in the New Year!15Views0likes1CommentCAS facial features adjustment too slow with certain hairstyles
When some hairstyles are being used, the sensitivity when adjusting facial features becomes REALLY slow, I have to move my mouse almost all the way across my desk to get it to make any significant changes. I've tried both with and without mods/cc installed. These are some of the hairstyles I'm experiencing it with.

Hello! I started way late on this most recent event (Jan 3) so I'm trying to play catch up to make sure I get all the items. First two days went fine, logged in and claimed the rewards, but today I logged in and things are still locked? Nothing new has unlocked. I only have one day of wiggle room if I want to complete the event so I'm a little stressed lol. Is it something stupid like 24 hours from my last login? Notes: Never modded or CCd with Sims 4, nothing has changed with the game or my computer since yesterday. Any help would be appreciated!

Exactly as title describes despite it now being 17:32 January 3rd 2026 the final 2 rewards in Deck the Palms are still not available to me. The game simply states that the item is locked and I need to wait for the week to start, said week started yesterday and they're still not available to me I have gotten every other reward prior without issue these ones are still locked despite there no longer being any countdown timer on the event page and YES the event page is still fully available in game. I have no mods. No CC. Both are turned off in game at the moment and I am fully online with perfectly clear connection. I even went to check if I had free access to the gallery and that was working perfectly fine. There is no issue with my computer and there is nothing that has changed with my computer (no updates, no device changes, everything is exactly the same as when I claimed all the prior rewards) everything else in game works exactly as it normally does.132Views0likes7CommentsMissing Infant CAS from some packs
Infant CAS items from all DLC except for Growing Together, For Rent, Nifty Knitting, and Home Chef Hustle are not showing up. This seems like a random group of packs to me. I recently purchased Nifty Knitting and Home Chef Hustle, so maybe that is why those are present, I'm not sure about the other two. I have most expansion packs and many of the other packs, so I know there is stuff I am missing. I had mods installed (MCCC and UI cheats), but have already tried deleting the mods, deleting the cache folder, and repairing the game. Items still appear for other ages and I have tried looking at infants from other households, and they don't have the items either. I started a new save after repairing the game and it had the same problems. It also isn't a filter issue because I have tried removing all the filters. Any thoughts on what to try next?Solved68Views0likes4Comments- summersi2 days agoSeasoned Novice17Views0likes2Comments

Help negative funds
Earlier i uploaded a house from the gallery, refurnished it and spent a couple hours on my sim just to get to this screen, showing i have negative funds which is correct. The only thing i can afford to do is bulldoze it, and on this screen i cant do ctrl+shift+c. I could exit out but i have yet to save this sim to my library and i don’t know if it will delete her.
