The Gallery Isn’t Working
I updated the game and everything worked fine immediately after. I come back now and the lots that I’ve picked off of the Gallery have the faded green download arrow saying Lot already saved. When I go to my library, the lots are there. The lots I chose do not have CC and I have zero mods. I have closed the game and the app several times. I’ve repaired the games and updated the EA app. I’m unsure what else to try.
Why is everything breaking?
Since the new update, ALLLLL my appliances are breaking, my radios are breaking CONSTANTLY. My sims are always resetting, autonomy is definitely broken too. Their needs are being depleted too fast. All the sims are getting overweight, my children are almost getting taken away constantly! I still can’t take my trash out and I have too many trash bins around my lot. The fires are getting out of hand and all my sims have level 10 cooking skill. I spend a lot of time and money on this game. Too much for this. I’m definitely looking into an alternative game because 300+ dollars on a game that’s consistently broken is not it.
No heatwaves in Sulani
Hi, there hasn't been a heatwave in Sulani in my game for the last two summers but when my sim visited Oasis Springs there was a heatwave there. I do have the weather set to just rain without thunderstorms in the game settings so my lot objects don't get destroyed by lightning but would that stop the heatwaves from appearing specifically in Sulani? 🤔
New update texture issues
My current game was fine before the update. The update removed and broke all my cc. I do not use script mods, only items and cas items. I applied the hotfix and while most came back, they came back wrong. All of my cc hair textures look fine in CAS. When you get to playing the game however, the texture is gone and looks like something from a Playstation 1. Color gone, texture gone. And they have very obvious hair line issues. A few of my EA items have changed their colors in builds and on Sims as well. For example, I had red cowboy boots on one of my sims and now they're gray. I had a blue patterned couch in the living room that is now a basic blue. Etc. I tried to add a screenshot but it would seem the forums are being glitchy too.
Error when loading the game
I finally decided to take a chance and updated my game 2 days ago. After ensuring all mods are updated before launching, I unfortunately get an error message saying that the game has failed to load on our end and to try again later. I read a forum where its states the bug was resolved but that is not the case !!
Is it possible to turn off updates permanently?
My game has gotten big enough that I'm not interested in more packs, and I'm tired of regular patches constantly breaking my mods and my gameplay. I've turned off the auto-update option in the EA launcher, but recently the launcher has started to try to update TS4 every time I open it (the launcher), even though the option is still turned off. I always have to hurry to cancel the update and then put the launcher in offline mode so I can play. Is it at all possible to permanently "freeze" updates on the game so I don't have to do this every time I open the launcher?
My Sims Won't Do Anything
Hi, I have been having this issue for quite a while now, maybe a little bit after Adventure Awaits came out to put it to date. I cannot get my sims to do ANYTHING in game. I reset them completely through debug - they still just stand there. I let time pass on its own -- they still stand and do nothing with the task in queue. It would be one thing if they refused to do what I say alone, but my sims have ZERO autonomy on top of that, making playing the game completely impossible. It happens with older save files and with households fresh out of CAS. I have done everything that has been suggested so far. I removed my mods, I reset my cache, I deleted all the flies off of my sims saved and made a new game file, yet the problem persists. This is especially irritating as I look on these forums and see that this isn't just a me problem, and we continue to get these large game-breaking updates with no solutions to fix whatever it is EA is breaking. Thanks.

Hello! I currently have my sim in an apartment, and i created a business lot for her in the apartment next to hers. Is there anyway to purchase that lot as her business? you can not visit it like normal or change the lot type on it. I already built both apartments very nicely and do not want to have to move her into that lot for the business. thank you!
Can someone help me?
So I tried downloading a couple of mods for my sims4 and I downloaded quite a bit but when i tried to load my game it failed. Then I moved all the mods to my desktop and tried to play the game that way but when I opened it the front page wasn’t my household it was some new one that i haven’t seen before. So I pressed load game and pressed on my household that i had saved but it was loading for a decade so I dropped that idea and reset the game now when I try to do the same it won’t even let me go to the game directly but i go to the pick world thingy and when I press on the house where my sims lived at it doesn’t say anything just create a new household to move in even tho i pressed play game for a household already.. CAN SOMEONE HELP???
