The Sims 4 - Update on Supported Systems
UPDATE: The Sims 4 Legacy Edition is available now. Please, see the updated FAQ below for more information. ________ Dear Simmers, Today we are announcing some changes to the supported specifications for The Sims 4™ on PC and Mac. Later this year, we will no longer support The Sims 4 on Non-Metal Mac OS machines or PC 32-bit Operating Systems. Apple has announced plans to phase out support for graphics processing technology called OpenGL and will be moving to a new technology known as Metal. Due to this change, we will upgrade The Sims 4 to work with Metal. For those that cannot upgrade to a Metal supporting OS, The Sims 4™: Legacy Edition will be made available to you. Please see the FAQ below. This update will also retire support for 32-bit Operating Systems. We regularly evaluate our technologies, and to continue growing, improving, and optimizing the game, we have made the decision to retire 32-bit support. If you are a PC player who cannot update to a 64-bit OS, The Sims 4: Legacy Edition will be made available to you. Please see FAQ below. We want to thank all Simmers who have played or are still playing The Sims 4.SolvedEA_Mai7 years agoEA Staff5MViews1689likes4Comments

The game was running just fine a few days ago, but now (around a week not playing the game) when I play, my sim can't sleep or nap, he lays down on the bed or couch and the just wakes right up. I've already reset the sim and replaced the bed but with no results (This specific sim belonged to a household I created when I started playing, but splited after and saved him to the library, in case it matters). Please, does any other player has this bug or knows how to fix it?SolvedAnonymous11 years ago509KViews17likes21CommentsHow do you stop aging in Sims 4?

Splitting up household in sims 4?!
I decided to finally write my own "post" because i still can not find a way to move out one sim from a household. My current household has 4 sims, two elders, one young adult and one teen. What i would like to do is move out the young adult and play with just her as a household (without deleting the other member entirely) I see lots of people saying to go to the manage household option, and that they were just able to do it from there. Ive looked and tried dozens of times and i see no option to just split them up. I see the "transfer to another household" option but all i would like to do is to move her out on her own.. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! 😕mileyhappy:Solved433KViews18likes29Commentshow to reverse a plantsim

While I was playing The Sims 4 one of my Sims created a house fire, but i knew everything was going to be ok because the firemen would come to help me out... 3 minutes later followed by a dead Sim the fire was still raging and no one turned up. i left my computer for a while and returned to find the fire was still flowing through my house. I'm not sure if this is a glitch (that the firemen didn't turn up) or i needed the better fire alarms or if you havent added firemen yet. Please fix this or at least remove fire until you add firemen you have fixxed the glitch.SolvedAnonymous11 years ago359KViews14likes81Comments

Have an adult make a toast ... Problem
Hi. I just held a birthday party for my guy, and got a "mission" that tells me to "Have an Adult Make a Toast". I've tried clicking the bar, clicking drinks, clicking the guest, I just can't seem to find a "toast" option. How do I make an adult make a toast?Solved280KViews7likes13Comments[CURRENT ISSUE] Codes instead of text/ Blank text and bubbles
Update 2023/07/20 There currently seems to be issues for Horse Ranch and Steam. Please head over to this post if you are on Steam: [STEAM] [HR] Missing Text Strings Update 19.6.2022 This issue can also be caused by BBB (Better Build Buy). If you are using this mod, make sure to head over to TwistedMexis Patron and get the newest version. For more information see this: [MOD RELATED] Werewolf text not showing up on aspiration, other pack errors Problem My game is either full of codes instead of texts or text bubbles are just empty Cause This issue is caused by a missing string file (Installation Folder). For some odd reason Origin/EA app refuses to download the needed Language String file for the pack. Each pack has a folder in the Installation folder (Standard: c:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4 and each of the pack folder should contain a language file (for example: Strings_ENG_US.package) for the language you have switched to. This doesn't seem to be the case for everyone resulting in empty Strings for *Debug" strings in the game. There's also a folder called Delta that has a folder for each pack as well. That folder also contains the language files and it looks like the files are always getting downloaded there with no problems. Problem is that unless there was a patch after the pack release, there's no folder in Detla for that specific pack (which is normal) So this problem should fix itself once a patch is released cause the game then starts looking for the string file in the delta folder and not the initial one. This is of course very undesirable if you want to play the game when it comes out. I'm still looking for reliable solutions but meanwhile you can try the ones outlined below. They seem to be less and less efficient. Solutions If you just have them missing on notifications, it's most likely an incompatible mod. Make sure your mods are updated, especially if you use any UI Mods. Before trying the methods below, try repairing the game. To do so, right click on the game in Origin and hit repair game. Make sure to set EA app to the same language as you want the game to be in. EDIT: Some languages are missing strings for cheats. If it's an issue of missing strings for cheats only, then that's a bug. Please post in the thread for your language (for unlisted languages, create a new thread in the englisch bug forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs: English, Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Spanish Edit: None of the solutions work with EA Desktop currently. EA Desktop is BETA software and it's not a problem to have both Origin and EA Desktop alongside. You can't run them at the same time but if you need to do something that EA Desktop is not able to do yet, just start Origin instead. Method 1 Repair the game through EA app/Origin (Mac) Change the language to something other than what it's now and let the game repair itself --> This will currently only work for Mac as EA app doesn't let you change the language. Change the language back to your Original one Method 2 Backup your user files Delete the following file from your hard drive: <game_install_location>\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe or just TS4_x64 if you have your extension hidden for known types (see pic below) By default on 64 bit Windows this will be located in: c:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_64.exe) There's also an exe file in Bin_LE that I also recommend to delete. That one is called TS4 or TS4.exe Delete TS4_DX9_x64.exe if you are using DX9 Go to the Origin “My Games” library The Sims 4 game tile will change from “Play” to “Download” Start the Download Origin may prompt you for what language to install in, if it does make sure to choose the same language you originally installed The Sims 4 in. Important Notes These steps are for PC only. Make sure your Origin client is set to the same language that it was set to when you originally installed The Sims 4. Make sure your Origin client “Downloaded Games” location (set via Advanced panel in Application Settings) is the same as when you originally installed The Sims 4. If these steps fail, it is recommended that you fully uninstall and reinstall The Sims 4 via Origin (see spoiler box below) Remove any mods you are using. This issue can also be caused by mods. Mac equivalent of TS4.exe In your Applications folder right click on the Sims 4 app and select Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents > Mac OS. Right click on The Sims 4 and select Move to Trash. Don't drag the file as it will only move an alias and leave the original in place. Now open Origin, right click on The Sims 4 in your Games Library and click Repair Game. Feedback if this method works is appreciated!! Source: EA Method 3 If you have another windows or mac computer in your household (doesn't matter if it matches the specs), download the game on that computer oder download them from the link provided by SimQARobo in this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Codes-instead-of-text-Blank-text-and-bubbles/m-p/10042760#M207471 Navigate to the installation folder and the pack which strings you are missing Check if the string file got downloaded. If so, copy it to a memory stick Copy the file from the memory stick to the correct folder on your usual computer Language files can be found here (the files can differ in name, depending on your language) Base Game: C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Data\Client\Strings_ENG_US.package Get To Work: C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Delta\EP01\ Strings_ENG_US.package Outdoor Retreat: C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Delta\GP01\ Strings_ENG_US.package ..Solved252KViews64likes1154Comments- Anonymous11 years ago250KViews13likes35Comments
