Sims Relationship bar Keeps Dropping
Hi, I hope someone can help me solve this issue i’ve had for a while. My sims’ relationship bar keeps dropping and turning red and I’m not doing anything to make it be that way. I have to build up their relationship all over again, and when I leave for another family and come back, it’s dropped again. Do I have to continuously be playing as this couple to keep their relationship together? It wasn’t like this before LoveStruck. ;(
Spawned world plants not found
I've tried repairing my game and playing without mods and cc. Almost every world my sim visited, including the Magic Realm and Forgotten Hollow, have no harvestable plants. This only just started happening in my game. I've even tried uninstalling my game and reinstalling it.
Can't See Scenario Goals
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. I have created a Sim that I've been playing for a while. He is doing the Making Money Scenario. In the load game menu, he is marked as a scenario, but when I play him, there is no goal in the top left-hand corner. When I played this scenario before, with another sim, the goal was visible. I accidently deleted that save so I never finished it. I have no mods or cc installed. Advice appreciated!Toddler interactions
I’ve noticed lately that some interactions with toddlers keep freezing. For example when I try to check on toddler or read toddler book ect the interaction will come up in the action bar but the interaction won’t happen, they’ll just stand there and stare at eachother and then the interaction gets cancelled or I have to cancel it. I think it happens when the toddler isnt standing exactly in front of the adult sim but i don’t know, but what I do know is it’s annoying. Can this be investigated please.
Sims 4 Perfectly Pristine
I’m stuck on the part where you have to show off your clean house to a guest. I’ve tried just inviting a sim over with the house being cleaned. I tried hosting a party to see if that would work and it didn’t. I tried putting my sim in the clean moodlet and that didn’t work as well. I’m stuck and I’m not sure what to do. If anyone got past this please let me know what you did.Infants and Toddlers still so buggy!
Raising a child in the sims is one of my favourite things to do, but I'm getting so frustrated with the bugs and glitches! For example, when I want my sim to do anything with their child eg. tummy time or flashcards, they just pick them up, put them down on repeat until they give up and go to do something else. Why does it take five hours just to get the kid in a high chair?! It's also sad how buggy the back carrier is, it's such a cute concept, but my sims take the infant out of the carrier immediately after putting them in. Is there anything I can do to prevent these issues? EA pleeaaase improve this!!
Free will options for childcare.
Hey, unsure if this is the right spot for this but started playing after a long break. Don't recall handling newborns and ifants being such an annoying task, infact I really enjoyed the milestones and all. I have free will off and yet whenever the infants especially gets the least bit cranky it starts filling their caretakers task queue when I'm already trying to care for them. It's making the game near unplayable for me where I have to take stress breaks over seeing mutliple parents try to care for the same child, replacing my actions with similar actions, putting the children in the wrong beds, queues being ignored and so on. I have free will off for a reasons, please make at least an option for wether or not you wish for childcare to be affected by free will. With the additional struggles of bugs where they refuse to pick kids up (Not sure why they do?) or end up in odd loops of picking the kid up, setting them down to pick them up again, the addition to infants themselves sneaking requests to have them do an alternative version of what I ask them to do and messing things up is becoming unbearable. IE: Asking for diaper change when trying to take them for a bath and vice versa, or the aforementioned issue of them going in the wrong bed, occasionally being put in the bed when I'm desperately just trying to get someone to feed them. With addition to them putting one of the two kids down to go care for a child that is already being cared for by someone else and the "please feed the kids or social services will show up" warnings popping up as a result of this whole ordeal. I can understand that some might want or need the help with childcare, hence maybe adding options to having it affected. (If there already are they are well hidden.) I'm not trying to neglect them, I'm trying to care for them my way and the game messes with it in frustrating ways. Also, perhaps seperate wishes and fears in options, I want the wishes but not the fears as the new social one pops up needlessly often and ruins their romantic meters completely. They upped romance to full, one sim went to work and when they got home the romance was in the red. Bit harsh, it's not that much fun to rebuild it. (If you get a fear you don't want to deal with go to options, turn off wishes/fears, save options, turn it back on, save options. Your wishes will reset but the fear will be gone.) Thank you.
The Sims 4 Vampires: Glitch Skin Color
Hello, so i recently bought the Vampires pack on The Sims 4. And i was enjoying it, i loved the environment being a vampire, but recently i am suffering with a glitch that's very annoying, usually my sims have a skin tone color option on CAS. I play on PS4, and after installing this pack, when i turn my sims into vampires, the skin tone option disappear, and i literally don't know what else i can do, i tried every solution i found, EVERY. Here's a list, i tried: 1. Removing the vampire trait and trying to reset it. 2. Using the full edit cheat (CAS) to edit the sim. 3. Trying a new sim and seeing if the issue occurred with them as well. 4. Changing control to another vampire sim, such as Vladislaus. 5. Resetting the sim with the resetsim cheat. 6. Testing different households and switching households. 7. Clearing the PS4 cache and restarting the console. 8. Clearing the data and changing my saves. 9. Deleting the dark form of my sim. NONE of these options worked, and i'm honestly lost here, i don't know what else to do, i tried to find for solutions on Reddit, Forums here on EA and even groups on Facebook, but none of them were useful, and i noticed some people also went through the same thing as i did, all i ask is for some help, i just want to keep my save immersive, and it makes ZERO sense a vampire to have tan and be caucasian and not pale. I hope this was clear enough, if anybody can help me, PLEASE I NEED ANY SUGGESTION, this is affecting any saves i create, no matter where i put my households and etc. Help me!
my aliens are buffering!
when an alien sim has a baby, it can be born blue (or purple, green etc..) BUT it doesn't say it's an alien sim? just an average blue human baby? Another issue I'm having with the aliens is - when in alien form, they can't get into their disguise at all. they are alllllways in alien form. for school, work, day care!! it's my legacy save and I'm so many generations in... I've been trying to hold out playing them until the issue is resolved. but I miss them! LOL HELP EA
Stairs Mess Up Gameplay
So, I play on the 2021 IMac and recently had to change from origin to the EA App. This is my first time playing and for some reason whenever I try to change the stairs, it f up the entire game! Like, I can literally go through and change walls, add furniture, and etc, but as soon as I place the stairs into the house now I can’t do anything! I’ve tried removing my stairs mods, reinstalling the mods, but nothing is working. Is anyone else having this issue or any issue since installing the EA App? [CM Edit: Title update]
Are stand alone horse stables operable with the Businesses and Hobbies EP?
I built my Sim a horse stable and impulsively adopted 6 foals. My decision came after I trained my other sim's (who happens to be a Rancher) defiant horse in the hopes of entering a competition with him, only to find out a horse must be a member of the active household (boo!). Now, I have this gorgeous business venue I designed as a functioning stable and training center but my horses will not stay on the lot I purchased for them! Each have assigned beds that are actively marked as residential rooms on the business venue lot. My thought process is, considering the rooms are marked as such and each horse is assigned a room, they'd stay put on the business venue lot because there are rooms set as a residence. Honey lives in a high-rise in Ciudad Enamorada with her Dalmatian and I don't plan on moving her. Obviously I really have an issue (lol). I literally just want to frolic with my foals until they're old enough and trained well enough to be entered into competitions. The presets of my business are even set to help me train the 6 of them more efficiently. I've read plenty of 'play with genetics' or 'move them into other households' scenarios and they will simply not work for the experience and life I'd ideally like this particular sim to have. I've had the Businesses and Hobbies EP since it's release, and this is the first time I've made an effort to utilize the pack in an intentional way. I have 14 sims in total, each of which have in-depth narratives. I was hoping for true flexibility within the Businesses and Hobbies pack as I watched the gameplay live review, and it was enthusiastically stated a few times that we'd have so many options for businesses. With all the options, I was hoping for thoughtfulness in cross-pack gameplay. Would love to hear from other simmers and the EA Team SimGuruJoystick TheSimsDirect (I was about to be a pain and tag everyone labeled EA Staff but landed on you (two), since you have Sim(s) in your handle). Dally, Brûlèe, Black, Snoh, Crème, and Reo Opal deserve to live a good life too! I would really like to avoid selling my babies :(. Looking forward to any helpful insight. P.s. - A girl also just wants to win some titles!
Parenting Predicament Scenario
I am at the point in this scenario where my two toddler sims are close to finishing their child aspirations but as soon as they do so, they age up immediately with no time to get them to blow out candles. I have tried getting them to complete their aspirations one at a time, during their birthday party and this works for one of them but not for the second who ages up straight after, even though blowing out candles is in their queue. On a possibly related note, everyone at this point also seems to age up straight away even though their birthdays are not for several days. I don't have mods and I am playing on a laptop. Auto Age is off and Sim Lifespan is normal.
