Double Bed Only Retains One Assigned Sim at a Time
On PC/Steam, double beds will only retain one assigned Sim at a time. If I assign Sim A to the right side of the bed, that assignment appears correctly. If I then assign Sim B to the left side, Sim A’s assignment disappears and only Sim B remains assigned. This prevents two Sims from being assigned to the same double bed normally. I have tested multiple double beds and also tested the issue in a brand-new save. I reproduced the problem with mods disabled. I deleted localthumbcache.package and verified the integrity of the game files through Steam. Steam reported that all files validated successfully. The issue still occurs. This appears very similar to the previously reported double-bed ownership/assignment bug that was marked fixed in May 2026. It may have regressed in a later update. Platform: PC / Steam Mods: Issue reproduced with mods disabled New Save Tested: Yes Game Files Verified: Yesgame 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.Sims body shape
I cannot change the shape of my sims body, i have tried through the cheat, i have also tried going into edit from the manage world screen, there is no longer a slider on the left for the body size and cannot find any other way of changing body shape. This is a sim that is already in gameplayMt. Komorebi slopes and Sulani Oceans
Last night my Sims were able to access the slopes on Mt. Komorebi. This morning they cannot access the slopes. They also cannot access open bodies of water. My Sims cannot ski, snowboard, sled, scuba dive or swim in open bodies of water. I created a new game. Same issue. I don't expect EA to fix this. Swimming in the ocean has been broken since June. Skiing on the slopes and swimming in the ocean were some of the best features of the Sims. It's the end of an era. You know, I bought an entirely new computer in June. Installed an entirely fresh copy of the Sims 4 with an entirely fresh copy of Sulani. My Sims still couldn't swim in the ocean or scuba dive.
My lots disappear when I travel to them
This had started happening a few months back with only one save. I tried playing with the same family in a new save and it still happened. basically, if my sims go on vacation, when they come back their house is gone and the lot is empty. When I travel to pre-placed lots in the game the lot loads up and is empty, the same for gallery builds. In San Myshuno for example, the entire building disappears, not just the plot where we can build, but the game acts like the building itself is still there and if I place a new lot there it’s just floating in the sky. I’ve tried repairing the game, updating mods, and removing mods altogether, but the issue still persists. I even removed my mods, then repaired the game and the issue was still there.
Royalty & Legacy Pack not working
I downloaded the Royalty & Legacy Pack. EA says it's downloaded, but in the game, it says the pack is deactivated and in CAS and build mode it says I don't own it. I have repeatedly uninstalled and installed it and done a repair in the EA app but the issue has still not resolved itself Cheers
Gallery shows "No results found" and in-game Store infinite connection loop
I am experiencing a persistent issue with online features in The Sims 4 (Steam Edition, DX11 64-bit, latest version). In-Game Gallery (F4): The Community tab loads trending hashtags, but browsing or searching any creations returns 0 results ("No results found. Try clearing filters"). Featured/community items fail to load. In-Game Store Tab: Endless "Attempting to connect..." loading spinner. Currency and prices fail to load (-- -- -- -- !), eventually prompting to play offline. Troubleshooting already performed: Performed a complete clean folder test (renamed user folder in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4). Removed all mods and custom content (tested on a 100% vanilla game). Cleared EA App cache (App Recovery -> Clear Cache). Logged out and back into the EA App. Verified integrity of game files on Steam.
Uploading Sims to Gallery, 'My Library' showing dupes
Sorry for the bad screen images. I was unsure how to take screenshots in-game from the Gallery. What should I do? Keep deleting one, or keep them both? I want to use the MC Command Center (MCCC) mod to replace random game-generated townies with the Sims from my own library using the #mccc_include tag. Keep it simple for me, my pea brain sucks with mods and stuff haha. Thanks!(XBOX) Royalty/Dynasty problem
So I have run into a issue with royalty and legacy EP, anytime my sim promises another to inherit noble title (in this case her child whose also in the Noble career and set as the heir to the dynasty and royal title), once she passes away it says she didn't promise anybody when she did. Not sure if this bug has been discussed or not so sorry if it has!
[Custom venue] Cant add specific sim to role
I got a lot, set up the schedule, got one household to fill role B but I cant select another household for role A. Only the first household appears in the "assign sims to role" list because both roles have the same requirement. And the sim I want to select for role A is the one Im using to visit & set up the lot. Please tell me this isnt "by design".
New Bust the Dust Kit purchase not appearing in Gameplay settings
I originally purchased bust the dust kit via the marketplace. It worked at one point and then stopped working- i always had the kit enabled in the gameplay settings- turning dust off and back on a few times, it didn't work /tried purchase a vacuum via build and buy and i was unable to place it in inventory, only move it around in live mode. I tested with and without cc/mods folder at this time. A few days ago, I unistalled the marketplace version(i read on here that quit a few people had similar issues with the marketplace version not working) and then i purchased/downloaded the same kit via the ea app- currenting showing as installed in manage add ons- thinking that may help. I then went back in game- starting a new save after moving my mods folder to desktop and the kit is not showing in the gameplay settings to enable it. I tried clearing the ea app cache, reparing the game and going back in- still nothing(thumbcache package was deleted before each test). Not sure what else to do at this point. Ive attached screenshots of the bust the dust folder in my sims 4 game folder(the actual game folder is loaded on a SSD drive/electronic arts folder is located on my main drive), the pack selection page in game which shows the kit uninstalled and a screenshot of the manage storage page which shows the kit as installed. Not sure if this matters but I play on a laptop. Please help Thank you, Corrie
