New Skill Day Not Working
I have a sim at Foxbury University. When skill day appeared, the sim raised his Robotics, Research & Debate, and Rocket Science Skill, but none of them registered on the event UI. At the end of the day, it said that New Skill Day was "Awful," even though he raised those three skills. On Xbox Series X.Solved63Views0likes9CommentsEggs problem
Hi. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but after my sim collects the eggs from the chicken coop, I send him to cook some food with the eggs but the 'eggs' part of the recipe is greyed out and it says that I don't have any eggs either in the fridge or my sim's inventory and I have to sell the eggs before they spoil. Funny thing is, the Golden and Obsidian eggs don't have this problem and I'm not sure if this is a bug. I would appreciate any help I can get on this.2.1KViews0likes14CommentsDeck the Palm event rewards not claimed?
When I start the game and get to the log-in screen, a pop up for the Deck the Palms event comes up and it seemingly lets me claim the rewards. However, when I enter a household and play, I cannot see my rewards. I do not see any "Event" tabs to check to see if the rewards have in fact been claimed.Solvedkcoane1 hour agoSeasoned Newcomer882Views1like6CommentsDeck the Palms event rewards not able to be claimed
This event isn't letting me claim most of the rewards. It's even worse for another household member, they can only get the first 3. Windows 11 and fully updated games for both of us. Happens with no mods, no CC. Any help or advice please? It would be most appreciated before this event is already over and done..Solvedheyjedikitty1 hour agoSeasoned Adventurer481Views0likes6Comments[CONSOLE] Event 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. Hope it will be solved in time to still be able to participate 🤞 Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to TitleLylian783 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer178Views1like11CommentsSims not moving while Performing tasks

Hello! I previously created a thread and it seemed like the problem was solved - The game crashes on the desktop when attempting to load a Sims 4 save file | EA Forums - 12562101 The game crashes when I try to load from the town into the family However, the game crashes to the desktop again without any errors. I have already deleted the SIM card fairy that was causing the save errors, but it still crashes. The problem does not occur on another clean save. I checked all the mods, and they work. I renamed the save folder and did everything described here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/start-here-crashingback-to-mapendless-loading-patch-117-221/12512130 The LastUIExceptions, LastExceptions, and LastCrash files are still not being created. Here's a link to the archive with the save file without mods, if you need it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10ytYszi-5QP2GaiqkX4xgLk1kzBzGzFO?usp=drive_link18Views0likes1CommentWhat is wrong with this household?
For context: In Fall '23, I created a household consisting of two female Sims. They were married from the start, and both have the loyal trait. They are both family-oriented. This was the second household I added to this save, a couple of months before Lovestruck was released. However, from the very beginning, both had this inclination to flirt with other Sims - which I didn't let them do. One of them accidentally complimented another Sim on their clothes, but that was just the one time, and I have avoided similar actions ever since. Whenever these two interacted, both had the dialogue option "confess betrayal" even though nothing had happened. I tried to ignore this, though it really started to annoy me after a while. I have autonomy on, and at some point, I disabled neighbourhood stories for all my played households. I can't remember the exact date, though, but it's been a while. When Lovestruck came out, things got even more annoying with this household because whenever I didn't play with them, they showed up somewhere in the world stargazing with someone else. One of them even took off to stargaze with someone else while I was playing with them. I disabled attraction so they wouldn't be attracted to other Sims but only to each other. Romance bars are full. I disabled the option to have Sims from my gallery show up on the dating app because at one point, the game duplicated one of them and put her clone on Sulani while the other one showed up on the dating app. Fun fact: the game did this only with these two. Nothing worked. By now, they are both getting options to hit on their best friends, ask random Sims to enter a woohoo partnership, flirt with pretty much everybody... and just now I found out that one of them got married to an NPC Sim somewhere along the way. I have absolutely no idea when, how or why this happened. I didn't even know it was possible for a Sim to have two spouses, and I have no idea who this NPC Sim even is because I don't pay attention to random townies. Something about this household is SO broken, and I can't figure out what it is. This is pretty much the only household that's behaving completely illogically, and not just when it comes to romance. Recently, I sent both of them to the Realm of Magic to discard their magical powers; they were not honing and using those anyway, so I figured they no longer need them. However, one of them can still use her broomstick for flying, even though her magical abilities are gone and the broomstick is no longer in her inventory. At this point, I am so annoyed with this household that I hardly ever play with them at all, yet I don't want to abandon them completely because they are part of the world and the storytelling I created over the past years (the save's turning 3 in a couple of months). If anybody has any idea where these problems might come from and how to solve them, I'd be really grateful. Especially for a solution to the stupid "oh no, I cheated even though I didn't do anything"-bit. Granted, the one who got married to a second Sim off-screen DID cheat, after all, but like I said, the fretting has been there right from the start for both her and her real wife. Since my save is growing and I keep adding households, these two will very likely end up sharing a Sim week with another household which will minimize the annoyance for me. Still, I'd really like to get to the bottom of this. Oh, and I don't use any mods or CC. I play plain vanilla, verify the files regularly and clear the EA app's cache.16Views0likes1Comment[FAQ] Why don't my expansion packs transfer between platforms?
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? 1.58.69.1010 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? None, but I SHOULD have Get to Work, Seasons, and Cats & Dogs. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Find it? You don't need to freaking find it. just give me my stuff! What happens when the bug occurs? I'm going to die. JUST GIVE ME MY FREAKING STUFF What do you expect to see? My expansion packs. Call me crazy, but when you buy something, you usually have it. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? MY expansion packs completely disappeared after I installed the game on my Laptop. I had linked my EA account to the Ps4 version, so there isn't any reason why I shouldn't have them now.

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! Thank you!SolvedJodainislame18 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer151Views0likes6CommentsHoliday Rewards are not popping up despite being in the time window
I have been trying to unlock the holiday rewards since December, and no troubleshooting has worked. I think I narrowed it down to internet issues; the game refuses to go online, so I cannot access the gallery or Jasmine's Holiday event. I am super disappointed to miss out on all of the free DLC, but I cannot figure out how to fix this. My PC has an internet connection, and the EA servers are online, but for some reason, the Sims 4 refuses to let me onto the internet. Is there a clear fix for this, or any way to unlock the items while offline? So far I have reinstalled the game, loaded new saves, loaded the game through both EA and Steam, and sat with it while it tries to connect the internet. Please let me know if you have any more suggestions and anyway of earning back the content I missed due to these technical issues.Solvedjl_sailor10718 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer19Views1like1CommentFoundation not showing in sunken room

In my Legacy save the Simology panel is always glowing. It is only in that single save. All others are normal and goes away when I have checked them. The issus with this save is that when I check the panel it goes away. But if I switch to another sim and then back again it is glowing again. I do play with mods but it happens even without mods. And as mentioned, only in this household. It is really making me question wether or not to continue with this legacy or not. I have tried clearing cache and repaired the game. I have the latest update (sep 18 2025) but it is still there. Any advice would be greatly appriciated!112Views0likes6CommentsCAS facial features adjustment too slow with certain hairstyles

This is beginning to frustrate me. I remake all the townies in all my worlds, from cas, to careers, to skills. I am extremely detail oriented and an easily frustrated when everything’s not perfect. So you can imagine how I feel when I save sims to my library, go to another save, try add them to my world there, and the amount of money that they have is entirely different from what I saved them on. I THINK it’s the amount of money they had before I cheated it differently, but I’m not positive. Please help, this makes me feel like I might be missing other things as well, and I want all my renditions of each sim to be the exact same. Believe me, I’ve tried restarting my PlayStation, going from offline to online, I’ve put the new sim in the world, changed their money, and then save them to my library, just to have the exact same issue again. Like I said, PLEASE help.146Views0likes8CommentsDeck the Palms rewards not available
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.Lost-Tresure1 day agoNew Novice218Views0likes9Comments
