Can't load old household after update
Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone else if running into this issue. I was playing offline just before the update with a family I've had for a long time. I updated all my mods, cleared the cache, and updated my game without my mods in there. Since trying to launch the game vanilla to make sure all is well, I can't seem to even load onto the family. I'm stuck on a loading screen, the music even plays, but the screen doesn't budge. I have to quit with task manager. However I did try again and go in through load game instead and I clicked on another family and it worked fine, loaded in and everything. I know this new update is to do with family trees as much as a bunch of other things, I'm wondering if it's effecting a few people with large families, generations, and just longer saves in general. I'm not sure.. just something I've noticed. I've tried to find other ways to load their household but nothing :( if anyone else is having this issue, let me know 😭!

Households, gallery, and saves all gone
Hello, so I go in and out of phases where I play games. I have not played sims for almost 2 years and yesterday decided to play again. However, ALL of my households, gallery and anything saved is just gone. It´s like I just bought the game. Was just wondering if I missed some memo to bakup my households or if this is some bug. Would really appreaciate an answer. I had households that were several years old and now they´re just gone :( [CM edit - title edited for clarity]
Sims stop their actions and I lost the save
My game is really buggy. First of all, I've already removed all the mods and it's still buggy. What's going on? My sims stop their actions. They just hover. I try to save the game to restart and I can't, the game doesn't save or let me exit. I end up having to restart my PC. This happens mostly when I'm about to marry a sim, or after several actions done in a row. The game literally freezes, the sims do nothing, just stare at each other, and I can't save the game. I've lost a lot of saves in just a few days. This started happening since the last update.Game not working... at all.
I have been trying to load up my game on EA Play, and when I go to open the game, it continues to the main menu as usual. I try to 'Resume Game', which should bring me directly to the household of the one save that I have, but it is bringing me to the 'World Map' menu page instead. Over, and over, and over again. I tried to remove mods, undownload the most current one that I thought might have been associated with my game not loading up, and the constant loop of revisiting the World Map menu when attempting to open my save, and restarted my laptop. Nothing has fixed it, and I don't see anyone else reporting the same issue:(
Sims Survey Error
I asked EA support this question, and after they investigated it, I was told in their chat to ask in this specific forum instead even though it's not directly related to gameplay. I received the email "Take a survey to earn a $5 EA App coupon" and did the Sims 4 survey, but on the coupon code page, only a little rectangle showed up, and there was no code. Then on the last step of the survey, I clicked "Next" and got an error message. It was a very time-consuming survey, and I'm concerned my answers didn't go through at all? Did this happen to anyone else? I took screencaps of both errors and have attached them here.
Toddler's glitching after the last update
I am having so many problems with my toddlers since the last update. I have a 5 Sim household that has three children in it: 1 infant and 2 toddlers. Both toddlers keep taking themselves outside and getting stuck in random positions - the only way I can get them back inside is by travelling with them away from the home and then sending them to daycare and travelling back home. One of the toddlers won't eat anything that isn't a piece of fruit from his inventory - he won't eat in a high chair, won't eat outside of the chair and won't eat if you drag something to his inventory, he just sits in a chair or on the bed and slowly starves...I have had to resort to dropping fruit into the inventory because he will eat that, if it comes on a plate it just isn't being eaten. The infant has also glitched a few times too, including being taken half way down the stairs by the butler and then put down - no one could pick him up and the only way to get him back was to travel with him and then travel home (it was winter and he nearly froze to death). Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to fix my glitching toddlers?
Von Haunt Estate ghosts in the family editor
Hi! Not long ago, I visited the Von Haunt Estate in Windenburg with my Sims and later discovered the ghosts, Mimsy and Bernard, in the family editor. So, are they playable now, and can I move them onto the lot? Is this how it's supposed to be, or is it a bug?Traits that Sim doesn't have keep appearing.
My Sim doesn't have the "Materialist" trait. However, the "Mustful Environment" moodlet (which manifests due to the Materialist trait) continues to appear in my Sim's moodlet. Furthermore, when I buy new furniture, I can interact with the "Amazing New Objects" (which also manifests due to the Materialist trait).
Game freezes at the same in game time
Today I was playing The Sims 4 and my game froze at 1.30 am (in game), the sims where standing in the place but the talking animation kept playing and the trees outside were moving in the wind, yet the time was frozen and I couldn't pause or change the speed, as well as click on any objects. I then force quit the game and started it back up, but the same thing happened at the same exact time even though my sims were doing something different. I then tried to recover the save and that didn't help solve the problem either. The only script mods I use are MCCC and UI Cheats, and I have been for many years. Both of them have been updated since the last update and I have played a lot in between the update and this issue occurring. I don't know what is causing this nor how to fix it, does anybody have the same problem or know how to solve it? (I am playing on a Mac if that's useful to know)[SE] [AA] Getaway Sims don't autonomously 'Climb Down' from Rock Climbing
Hi there, I played through the getaway by assigning Sims as retreat guests to do the rock climbing at Yukimatsu neighbourhood which I found there are 2 climbing points; one with the pathway to go down and the other one (in the screenshot) without. So other sims that I don't control stuck at that area. The only way to get out of this spot is to "Climb Down" but they won't autonomously climb down after they autonomously and successfully climbed up. Need advice. Is there any possible way to make them autonomously climb down? Or is there any cheat or mod for workaround? Thanks very much!Door locking doesn't work
There seem to be an ongoing issue with door locking (allowing access) as well as computersecurity. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, and neighbors, kids and friends enter doors and use computers they are not supposed to. I find this incredibly annoying! Is the build-in door locking system going to be fixed, or should I install a mod? Thank you.
Can't Make My Sims Siblings
I downloaded my Sims from an older save file from the gallery. They were in different households, but when I temporarily put them in one household to fix their relationship to siblings, it just. Won't let me?? I tried just doing it in CAS, and I tried the MCCC mod to fix it, but neither would let me change their relationships to siblings at all. I even tried removing the MCCC mod to see if that was the issue, and nothing changed. I'm unsure if this is a new bug or if I'm just doing something wrong.
