Creating Sim and not being able to Play
Hi, I have been having the issue where I load the game and start a new sim, place them in a lot and then it will not let me go to the lot to play them. It just reroutes me back to the map screen. I have tried repairing the game and uninstalling and reinstalling. I have tried without mods and with certain mods. Nothing is working. I can't play sims if I can't play the sim lol.
Sim stuck in "work normally" mode; but at home and unemployed
My sim for several in-game days has been stuck in "work normally" when I hover over her tab in the bottom left. I've made several attempts to fix the issue, but nothing has worked. I have: Removed and disabled mods in my game (Was only using UI Cheats and MC Command Center prior) Sold my Sim's small business so they are no longer "employed" Travelled from home lot , travelled back Taken my Sim's family to a vacation lot Reset Sim Restarted game I saw a post online from about 7 years ago saying there should be a "Leave Work Early" option when I click on my Sim, this interaction is not available when I click on her. Because she's been stuck in work mode, she has the burned out moodlet, which cannot decrease enough to go away. It is almost constantly increasing unless she is doing an activity that decreases it, like sleeping. My game has all DLC except a few kits, I've only been playing this specific save for about 2 days. I tried to see if this bug has been reported before, but could not find a recent occurrence of this issue. I play through EA App on a Mac.
sims have facial hair when showering/bathing
hi guys! completely unrelated to the recent update, just something that has been happening in my game for a while now! so, when taking a shower or a bath, my sims (especially male ones) appears to have a beard! funny thing is i have facial hair disabled in CAS. it's not bothering me that much since it disappears right after their shower/bath but i was wondering if i could fix it in any way. i'm using mods, i have a lot of them including MCC, copying hair, makeup, etc to all outfits hasn't really helped, if anyone could give me tips it'll be much appreciated ! thank you so much in advance ! ^_^
Has anyone else noticed glitches after the new update (9/18)?
I was playing and at my sims wedding when i went to order drinks, it froze and i had to force quit my game and basically restart it all from the last save. I dont have any CC/mods and after i repaired my game i restarted the game and started playing again, only for my aspiration to restart as well (its the famous actor and it is trying to say my sim isn't an adult or an actress even though they just got the commercial gig.) just wondering what to do/if this has happened to anyone else.Small Business Customers wont buy something
the small business pack is so unplayable..... i opened a smal shop at my home lot. for 1 to 2 days it was working fine. on the 3th day the customers are only standing outside my shop and not buying anything or the just come, talk with others or want to talk to my sim. that is realy annoying. the customers should come, buy things and leave. no talking, no socializing..............just buy the things that my sim offers......
Maids don’t complete all cleaning tasks
I hired a maid, and they will leave before cleaning all areas. They seem to only pick up trash/diapers and dispose of it, but it’s not all the time. The maids often skip a lot of the cleaning tasks such as cleaning the toilet and shower, and washing dirty dishes.
Sims 4 enchanted by nature, nature press not working.
When i click on the nature press for my sim to make something, it resets my sim and automatically cancels out the action. This has been happening since the recent update. I did check to make sure everything is up to date. I cleared my cache and repaired the game.
Can't even play a game
Hi, I've been playing the sims for a long time, I've recently just took a break and now when I finally get back into the sim of things, I can't load into a game. I got on after it said 'All up to date' to start a brand-new game. spending at least a long time in the CAS, I finally go to pick my location, press 'move in' and I'm immediately hit with an error code. No big deal, right? So, I go check and update all mods I had and delete the cache, update my computer, make sure it's all good to go- even the game updated again so after repairing the game from the EA app, I get back on the game to be met with the same thing even if I went to other saved games. Regardless, I still continued on and turned off mods and still it did not work as I've tried everything I have in my power to do. Seeing that I looked it up and others have had the same issue as well- some did not even have mods in the first place and they had the issue. If there's any way of looking into this, please let me know if there's anything I can do. Thanks.cant load into my sims life
it lets me in the sims app and see all my sims but it wont let me go further, I'm basically stuck on that manage world menu page and i cant go into any of their lifes. I've deleted all modes and turned it off but its still not letting me in properly. added a example of where I'm stuck and cant do anything from there. game is lagging so I cant send my original menu.Trying to feed a baby in Sims
Trying to care for baby in Sims is like… Command Feed the baby Sim stands and stares, clears queue. Command Feed the baby Pick up baby, stand, put baby down, walk away Command Feed the baby Sim sits on bed Command Feed the baby Places baby on floor Command Feed the baby Changes to chat with baby Command Feed the baby Clears queue immediately, walks off Command Feed the baby Picks up baby, stands for ten seconds, places on floor. Baby has now soiled itself and needs to be changed. Baby is now in the orange with hunger. Command Feed the baby Changes to chat with baby Literally just went through this. Took three sim hours to feed baby and change it. Have three kids. Game is literally stressing me out fr lol. Having real kids isnt this crazy. No cc or mods used. Like EA, please fix basic glitches like this instead of just churning out new packs every 2-3 months!!!!
eye and hair swatch changing
I am doing this as a new game and no mods. As I'm creating a sim, the hair and eye colors change randomly as I go through the process of filling the outfits. I recall this happening a long time ago and thought it was solved, but here we are in 2025 and this has resurfaced.Sims cannot go to university and no buttons
I have a group of Sim who don't live in dorms that are going to University. I do see the time when they need to get to university. The Sims that I am not playing do go, but the one that I am playing with, I want them to go, but they don't and I don't see any buttons to have them go. Or that the the button is only there for a few seconds. This happened twice already to two university sims that I play. The first one I had to get them to the university lot and do the time cheat. That worked. For the second one, which is the current one, I had trouble getting the time cheat to work. Why can't the button to go to university appear at the one hour mark? But I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue with Sims 4 University?
Gnomes not staying in place and dropping constant seed packets
I installed Enchanted By Nature and ever since my gnomes will not stay in place. They have not been brought to life with fairy dust. Every minute or so they will move around from the places I put them in the garden and will drop endless amounts of seed packets, upgrade parts and oversized crop seeds. Is this part of the pack and something I cannot reverse now or is it a glitch? I have not enchanted any of the gnomes or brought them to life. I have had to delete all decorative gnomes from my lot because it was becoming too irritating. I play on Mac and have about 90% of all packs apart from a few stuff packs and kits and I do not have one or two main packs.Game will not load.
This started yesterday when I was trying to launch my game. It just would not launch. I opened the EA app and tried launching it from there and the game would not load. A yellow bar then popped up saying it is taking longer then normal and to hold tight. It never loaded. I cleared cache, restarted app, deleted app and reinstalled app, everything that they say to do in troubleshooting I have done. When I reopened the EA app it said I needed to download my game. It was never uninstalled. I was then told to uninstall the game from my computer and reinstall it but now it will not load or reinstall. I'm sure this is a issue with the ea app but was told to do this for help. Everything on my end is up to date.
