Are Sims supposed to be sick & imbalanced like 90% of the time?
So I started a game yesterday with a sim, and even if her motives are kept all in the green, even if she's got mostly positive moods, even if she's doing things she loves every day and following her wants and whatever, she's sick like 90% of the time. When one finally ends, another begins a few game hours later. Sometimes a new illness will even start before the old one is supposed to end and it just switches over, so I don't even get a break from it. So she aways looks weird or is throwing up. Was this intentional for sims to become imbalanced soooo often and soooooo easily? or is this a bug?
Collectibles glitched in a specific save
I've had this issue in the same save for a few weeks now and have tried every possible fix listed online. I deleted the cache, removed all of my mods and custom content, and even repaired the game. I know it is specific to this save, which I've been building up for years, because I tested a new save, and collectibles are spawning just fine. It's not that they won't respawn after collecting them; rocks, crystals, and time capsules do not spawn at all, period. Has anyone found a fix that will work without starting over completely in a new save?
Can't wash my clothes! I paid for this... I paid money for this to happen to me.
DO YOU SEE ANY LAUNDRY INSIDE THE MACHINE? Cause I don't! I can't use or upgrade the laundry machine... so of course I have a million full hampers and clothes on the floor... Reseting the laundry machine doesn't work Exiting the game and coming back into the game doesn't work
Nature's calling can't claim claimable rewards.
I've been doing the quests of this event and claiming my rewards until the last quest... I can't claim my rewards after doing the last quest released so far. I tried the 'claim all' button, tried to claim it in game UI and on main menu, tried to restart my game and try all of this again but nothing seems to work. I hope maybe when more quests get unlocked I can claim my rewards again. Does someone has the same problem as me or know a solution? In the screenshots below you can see I was able to claim the dish but not the book and the potion. Also rewards that go further than my progress bare are indicated with a yellow dot which I think means it's "claimable"? Is my progress bar not loading any further anymore or is the game showing yellow dots where it shouldn't? I play on pc btw.
Help: Custom skin tones not following through to live mode
Today I opened my game to find my sims’ skin tones darker than usual and other’s lighter than usual. After a very long time of trying to fix this, I realised that, in CAS, their skin tones were correct (for example, their skin tone is a brightened version of one of the regular sims 4 skin tone swatches) but, when I go into live mode, the sim is darker because the game just returned their skin tone to the original swatch colour (without any brightness variation). This has never happened to me before and I don’t believe it’s caused by broken mods/cc because when I run the game with an empty mods folder, the issue is still present. Also, none of my sims have tattoos/custom tattoos which I’ve heard has been causing issues lately. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!
My Sims just moved and now I keep losing money.
I just moved my Sims to a new household. After a few seconds, I started losing small amounts of money very quickly (15-30 Simoleons at a time). It stops if I pause time, but quickly restarts. I did buy the household furnished and with freerealestate. I do have mods.
Plants cared for but dying anyway
I'm in Innisgreen on a brand new save and there seems to be an issue with plants that are just dying for no reason. My sim tends to them, weeding spraying for bugs watering, ect, the plants are sheltered but groups of 4 plants at a time just randomly die. I tried turning on the better soil lot trait. I also tried to hire a gardener and they don't show. I have no mods. Yes I have seasons the plants however are sheltered.Property value funds won't transfer when moving households...
Hey there, I am playing on a PC with no mods or CC and I am currently having issues with my Sims' household funds fulling transferring when moving entire households. Their cash will transfer, but the value of their furniture/home will not. For example, I have a family with 15,000 simoleons on hand and a house worth about 50,000 simoleons. When I move them (no splitting) to a new vacant lot to build (about 5,000 simoleons) and choose to sell the furniture, their household funds reads as 10k (not the expected 60k)...essentially loosing the entire value of their previous home. I'm currently using cheats to replenish the missing funds, but I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this? Is there something I'm doing wrong? It's a brand new issue for me. :( Best wishes, <3
Losing 25 simoleons
I know this is caused by the back to the old days neighbourhood action plan, but it’s not active in my sims’ neighbourhood. It got voted in in their old one but they moved house to where there were no active plans. Still kept losing 25 whenever they used technology so I turned off eco lifestyle gameplay - still happening. They don’t really have a lot of money so I’d really rather this not happen!
Sims missing hair & clothing on home screen, but not in game.....
My household are bald and in their underwear, but only on the home screen. When I load into the save, everything is normal. This has only started today. I re-loaded the game 4 times, but still the same. I also did a repair. No difference. ????? No CC or mods.
Trouble Assigning My Sims as NPCs
Hey everyone :) I hope all is well. I hoping some of you can help me. I am struggling to program my Sims in my save as NPCs. I use to do this no problem but now it's just not working and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. [1] Step 1, I create the Sim and move them into a lot. [2] Step 2, I use testingcheats true and then the appropriate code/trait for the NPC which I find here: EgonVM's Ultimate NPC Making Guide 2.0 | EA Forums - 4955205 Example: careers.add_career Adult_NPC_Nanny & traits.equip_trait trait_isNanny [3] Step 3, Evict the Household (as I was told NPC's cannot live in the world), and then I uncheck them as a "played" household. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Sims just stand still
My sims just stand still even when I tell them to interact with something. For example, I'll tell them to take a shower and they'll just stand there but the queue will show they're taking a shower. I've taken out every single one of my mods, repaired the game several times, and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Nothing works. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Adult sims wont interact with infants and toddlers.
I have a married couple who have two children. One infant and one toddler. I try to get the parents to do things like read to children, tummy time, just normal interactions and they wont do them, they just stand there doing nothing at all. Sometimes after they have held or picked up the children the adults won't tend to their own needs even if asked like to go get leftovers they just stand there. I do not use Mods or CC.
