Hybrid Occult Sims
I accidentally created a spellcaster/vampire hybrid sim. The mom is a spellcaster and dad is a mermaid and I set the lot to vampire nexus trying to get a vampire baby. The sim is now a teenager and has a mix of spellcaster and vampire traits. In CAS, she doesn't show any symbol that is clickable to edit for occult, so I can't fix things there. I'm ok with trying to play the sim as is, but I am worried about her not being stable or causing game crashes. I just aged her from child to teen, and I didn't have any issues with her in infant, toddler, or child forms. Will it probably be ok to play her as is? If not, can I remove the spellcaster occult somehow? I tried one of the cheats to do this that I found online, when she was a child, but it didn't work. Also, I'm not sure if this is typical for all vampires or if it is a hybrid glitch, but the medical devices section for the face don't display in CAS, but the hearing aides were under piercings.
The First Person Glitch
I don't tend to regularly play in first person, although when I do, I notice there''s this one glitch, where if you have any base game lashes on your sims while you are in first person, the lashes show floating on the screen, I don't know if anybody has mentioned this before, but as someone who occasionally likes to play in first person here and there, it is kind of a bummer to deal with, I hope the Sims team manage to find a way to fix this if they can.Sim needs a vacation after just being on vacation
my teen sim was just on vc for 4 days and than first went to a part time job, than needs a vc again after 1 hour at job? playing on pc, no mods(never had). sims 4 rent, sims 4 school, sims 4 jungle. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issueSTRANGE ISSUES
A warm hello – I’m writing to report two unusual situations in the game. Firstly, for some time now, some of my plants in Build mode have been looking as though it’s ‘autumn’, even though I’ve set the season to summer using the cheat to change seasons at any time (seasons.set_season). I’ve already tried to fix this in many ways – uninstalling suspicious mods, clearing the cache from the ‘cache’ files… I should point out that these are plants affected only in Build mode, not in Garden mode. Has anyone else experienced this, or do you know what might be causing it? Secondly – a huge number of newborns have appeared in many unplayed households. Practically one in every four households on the list has 10 new children – what can I do to stop this? I know I can delete these children, but I don’t want this to keep happening .
sims 4 keeps crashing after many updates
hello, it's been a while since I've reopened my sims 4 account, i stopped after the last update and came back to it, but as i was trying to play it i noticed the game wouldn't start so i decided to delete all my mod files. then i repaired the game and tried again, same thing. I'm not sure what's going on but i want to play the game again, I've spent too much money on it and its been a few months. can someone please help?wedding event
My Sim and another random Sim are trying to get married, and I have tried planning the wedding event. I did the whole "select guests" and chef thing and also chose a venue I wanted the wedding to be at, but suddenly my game is stuck on the loading screen with the green crystal and won't load. I had to restart my computer 3 times, and it is still doing the same thing. I decided to try again and host the wedding at my house, but after I started it, no wedding happened, and my Sim went to bed. This has never happened to my game before.game not saving in build mode
i saw someone post something similar to this like a month ago but they didnt respond when someone asked them about the problem. for the past week or so almost every single i use build mode, my game wont save after i place around like 5 objects at a time, idk how to really explain it but i get stuck on the save screen and have to force close my game. on a rare, rare occasion the game wont break but i lose more progress than i gain in this process i do use mods but i took them all out, the only cheat i use is moveobjects. ive repaired my game as well. im unsure of where to go from here, the game just isnt usable in this state.High School Day Not Ending On Time
Alright, this issue is marked as resolved but it is not. I have this exact same problem as of September 7th, 2026. My game is up to date, I have no mods, no CC, I tried repairing my game, clearing the cache, clearing my WHOLE computer, rebooting it, reinstall all of my sims, tried different high school lots from the gallery... Nothing works. I bought this EP for the high school nostalgia and the core feature doesn't even work, this is a nightmare. Please fix this for real.Reaper career issue
Hi there, Im experiencing an issue with one of the assignments with the reaper career. The assignment is the one where you have to close so many fissures and reap souls but I’m not having any souls spawn, meaning I can’t finish all the tasks for the day and don’t have the option to travel back to the office. Thanks you for any help provided!
Can children explore the crypts?
I had a child with the macabre trait and one of her wishes was to explore the crypts in Ravenwood. Try as much as I might I could never figure out a way for the child to enter the crypts. Once she aged into a teen though she could go there and she went one weekend and spent the entire weekend just wandering in the crypts and amassed a ton of loot and gems and money. I think if I hadn''t forced her to leave she would still be in there feeding the hissing reptile creature and sticking her hand into loose bricks and lighting candles, etc.

Promotion bug I just can't fix
Hello all! Sorry if this has been previously answered, but on base game, I cannot get Bella Goth to promote at all! It used to work, as I usually play townie families over and over again, but one save she just stopped promoting. Now I can't get her to promote no matter what I try. I could just cheat it but I would prefer not to. I only use the base game and have tried deleting the Sims folder and a lot of other things. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you so much and sorry if this is like the simplest five second fix! I have no CC or mods either, so there's no interference on that level! Have a Nice Day!
Where are the update announcements?
10 Sept 2026 - On Steam today I have 'update required'? Looking for info. I'm not on Discord. Don't want to be on Discord. I'm looking for the place on EA Forums where the devs announce updates consistently. When I search 'when is the next update'. Most Relevant gave me wide results 3 months ago to 2 years. I selected Newest that didn't help either. I clicked around. No luck. Thanks!Calendar is broken after getaway
Hiya, I just got Adventure Awaits last week and I've been having some problems ever since starting my first getaway. At first the getaway wouldn't start and the sim wouldn't travel there on their own, and when I did travel to camp gibbi gibbi it tried to start twice in a row? Somehow I got two pop ups that the getaway was starting and I think I cancelled the second one and it suddenly sent my child sim home and it was monday (the getaway started on friday) Since then, the child wouldn't go to school since the job panel would constantly say "school in 2 days" even if it was a school day. The lunar phases also don't change anymore, they're stuck on permanent new moon and several of the festivals are broken, too, like the new moon festival in gibbi point and ravenwood family day. The school issue did fix when the child aged up into a teen, but it does persist in other households as well for both child and teen sims, and only having a child age up into a teen seemed to fix it there. I'm not sure if it affected adult's jobs as well Is there a way to reset the calendar? At this point a lot of the game feels broken and I can't complete things like childhood aspirations and such if the children will not go to school. I've read you could reset the seasons but I don't have the Seasons pack so that wouldn't work for me I fear. I don't have any mods or cc installed
