Sims being mean for no reason
Recently my sims have been autonomously mean to each other for no reason . This ruins my gameplay because it immediately drops their relationship status and I have to cancel the save. It seems to be a bug that needs fixing. I don’t use mods since I’m a console user so how exactly I stop this because the game is becoming unplayableDe_Clown2514 minutes agoSeasoned Newcomer3Views0likes0CommentsCan’t edit sims relationships in CAS
I had to move all my sims to a new save because of an ongoing issue with neighborhood stories not working properly. When i moved all of my sims over I took my main sim and her parents and put them into a household with all of her siblings I had to move over with their families, in order to set their relationship but upon turning on testingcheats true and then cas.fulleditmode I only have the option of making them partners. I moved them all apart again and then picked one sibling and put her with her brothers family her brother can still only be set to partner but her sister in law can be set to sister. No idea what could be causing this issue. I don’t use mods or cc so that can’t be the causelunarscorpio992 hours agoSeasoned Novice61Views0likes5CommentsWhat is the limit for Crypts?
I haven't played the Sims 4 in nearly 4 years but have been buying each and every DLC (other than most kits) as they go on sale (and the latest one before a sale). Last week I returned to actually playing, starting a whole new game to do the Forever Friends event and continuing from there. Anywho, one of the things I'm doing in the new game is slowly getting all of the different worlds set up (improving/replacing existing lots, filling empty lots, etc.). I have a couple of different cemeteries in place now and would like to know what's the limit on how many urns a "Crypt" can hold? I can't find an answer to this anywhere, but I feel like there has to be some kind of limit. If it's higher, I don't really need more than a crypt or two, which I already have in place, but if it's super low I'll want to add more. (P.S. It's a little overwhelming coming back to 4 years of Game, Expansion and Stuff pack additions. The game has gotten huge in terms of all of the different mechanics and systems present.)JaggidEdje7 hours agoSeasoned Ace21Views0likes1Comment[AA] Is there a guide to triggering formative moments?
I am trying to get my child sim to achieve all the formative moments, and so far she has 24, but I know that is less than half of them. There are some formative moments that I don't know how to trigger, such as "Be Inquisitive about Health". She has played with the doctor set several times; I even bought a second set, but there is never an option for her to take on this formative moment. When I click on her to get her to "take on a formative challenge", it often says that there are no new ones available for her. Is there a guide somewhere to how each formative moment can be triggered (I'm not talking about how to achieve them once they have been triggered)?gertie4710 hours agoSeasoned Veteran11Views0likes0CommentsCan’t find The Green Lady’s Lost Tome when searching by name
I'm really not sure where to post this. I'm playing in French and I'm trying to find the object won during the Reaper’s Rewards Event called The Green Lady’s Lost Tome. (In French it is named Le livre perdu de la Dame Verte.) I know it's not in the usual bookshelf, like the other books, but rather in the object catalog. So I went into Build Mode, use the search option to search for an object by name, but I could't find it! I tried every word in the name, like "livre", "perdu", "dame verte", ... nothing came up! But when I finally browsed page by page in the object catalog, I found the book in the activities -> misc. section. So, it's there! I guess it just isn’t indexed in the search engine yet. Has anyone else noticed the same thing in another language version of the game?Solved2hCreations11 hours agoSeasoned Veteran23Views0likes2CommentsCan't save because of a non-existent burglary
My game thinks there's a burglary in progress, but there isn't, i even called the cops just in case, but he's just been standing outside for hours because there's no burglar. Now i can't save or go to manage world or travel or anything. I tried Alt+F4, but it didn't it just said i couldn't save. How can i force the fake event to end? p.s. i picked a random tag because this has nothing to do with any tag.Solvedfaithvssam11 hours agoNew Adventurer154Views1like3CommentsFor Rent not working at all
I have disabled all my mods, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the base game and all packs and extensions and I have cleared and fix the ea cache and I still can not get for rent to work. Says its installed in the game menu but once I load in and go to try to purchase a spot of land it only shows retail, vet, and the other one but nothing about being about to do rental properties. I haven't been able to play since I bought it over a month ago and ea hasn't even tried to get back to me when I sent them an email about my issue.Mtndew6811711 hours agoRising Novice328Views1like5CommentsRemoving Residential Rental Glitch *endless loading*

I play rotationally and now have 5 different sims that randomly get the "creation itch" energized moodlet without having the creation itch ailment. There is no option to cure, all I can do is cheat the moodlet away but every 8-12 sim hours it returns and I cannot stop it. It just appears again over and over and over and has for over a full sim week per sim. Its preventing these sims from sleeping and not helpful in the slightest. Ive removed mods, repaired the game, saved and gone back to manage worlds, saved and gone back to menu, saved and quit and restarted entirely and still nothing no option to cure ailment and the moodlet keeps appearing.SolvedHo_Mi_Jo12 hours agoSeasoned Scout206Views0likes6CommentsSims4 Gallery Glitch!

As I don't like playing with sim ghosts I used to choose the destroy option to delete the urns/gravestones. This options is not there anymore until after some time, some sim days. Please bring that back so we can get rid of urns and gravestones.NennaRC14 hours agoSeasoned Vanguard14Views0likes0CommentsSave not loading
Hi, since the last maj, my save loads endlessly. First i thought it was because of my mods and CC so i deleted them and tried to load again but it's not working. I tried to open a new save and it worked so i added back my mods and it also worked, but I'm still not able to load into my first save. I went into my sims 4 folder and it seems that i keep getting the same lastUIexeption ( even in new saves). Besides, the other save i'm currently playing with is buggy as hell. I play in french on PC.Laleonita15 hours agoNew Rookie42Views0likes6CommentsScientist coworkers always deny having metals and crystals
I have a sim in the science career who is max friendly with all of her coworkers. Despite this I have not once successfully had a coworker give my sim a metal or crystal when asked nor let her take a DNA sample(which makes it impossible to complete the daily task for it). I cant improve their relationships any more and I'm all out of ideas on how to get this work. This is a brand new save not even a week old, I do have mods but none of them affect the science career in any way shape or form.Ho_Mi_Jo16 hours agoSeasoned Scout17Views0likes2CommentsHow to make the game randomly generate certain types of townies/household?
Is there a certain way to make the game generate certain types of townies? For example a married couple with or without children, single father, family with female child, family with male teen, etc. I only have base game, and currently playing with auto age off for unplayed household. I noticed that when the game generates a family, it always a family of single mother with female teen and a male child. And only one randomly generated family that consist of a married couple with male child, and I don’t know what the trigger for it. I tried to go to park or playgrounds a few times, erasing the household that I do not want, to make the game to generate new family with kids, but it always generate a household of single mother, female teen, and male child. I have never seen the opposite type nor any new family of married couple with children again. I am playing on a new save and trying a new gameplay ideas where I mostly control one family and only age up other premade/randomly generated family when I decided to marry a sim from those household. I’m not sure if this is another known issue, but my sims has been giving birth to male babies only for around 5 generations, and I wanted to have a story where my heir marry their BFF from childhood but could not as I could not make the game randomly generate a family with female child, so I just wait until they age up to teen to choose their lifetime partner. I know that there are mods that help to create various type of household but I don’t want to rely on mods. So I would like to know if there a ways to trigger the game to generate certain types of townies. Below are what I noticed from my own observations on how to trigger certain types of sims. Going to park or playgrounds: generate family of single mother with female teen and male child. Going to bar in Oasis Springs: generate female young adults bar regulars. Going to lot with Teen neighborhood trait: Generate single teen (male or female) household (no parents) But I noticed my game have a few single males and females unemployed young adult sims, so I would like to know if there are other triggers to generate those, especially household of married couples, single father and household with female child. Please advise. Thank you.olv9m0wtjdd017 hours agoSeasoned Novice26Views1like1CommentGame crash. Help, attached crash txt file.
help. Game crashed last night, first time ever. My game had a posture error earlier in the game but wasn't anything to worry about. Then one of my sims died of old age and the grim reaper wouldn't reap them and just kept hanging around and it lasted for 5 sim days. I let it try to figure itself out so I didn't have to lose out on saving my game but it ended up crashing anyway. I have MCCC and Basemental Eco Hacks as far as mods go, and no CC. I am confused why this is happening and will be testing my game further tonight. I've had issues with that save before and ended up having to restore it so if I have to scrap it and start over then so be it but if there's something else causing these issues then I would love to know how to fix it so I can keep playing this save. All of my saves are important to me but this one was special since it was my legacy save, I got up to the 7th generation and was so close to getting to the 10th. Please help, if you can, I'm going to attach the crash txt file.Vanessa08981717 hours agoRising Newcomer28Views0likes1CommentNO sims can sleep together at all.. not even married sims

Can you allow more outfits to be showcased on lots, specifically the museum lot? I really want to display all the outfits I have unlocked and I love the mannequin feature from Get to Work. It would really make my gameplay so much better and I would feel like my achievements actually mean something. Please respond, even if you won't be able to. This is something that would be game changing for me. Thank you in advance~!KaptainKaty18 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer33Views0likes3Comments
