Horse Ranch Competitions
I keep trying to enter horse competitions through the community board. It will take my money an show the the competition in the que but then it cancels itself. My sim never goes to the competition. I have updated and repaired the game. I added a ranch community board to my lot. Nothing is working. Is anyone else having the same issue?GymJess133 hours agoRising Newcomer10Views0likes1CommentCannot create small business (residential)
Hi, I want to have my sim live on the same lot as their cafe and the game won't seem to let me. I've tried starting from both a residential and small business lot, no dice. The game says the lot isn't valid when I try adding the venue from the "register small business" pop up and from moving my sim in manage worlds. After an hour of fussing (including moving my sim and selling the business) I was able to get it titled "small business (residential)" but I was still unable to open the store. Can someone help me fix this bug? I'd like to play with the pack I just bought ://7Views0likes0Comments- HollownessDevour4 hours agoSeasoned Ace10Views0likes0Comments
Nonstop "Show Off Tattoos"
I recently purchased the Businesses and Hobbies EP, which comes with the new "show off tattoos" and "check out tattoos" interaction. Immediately after installing it my sims are constantly doing these. I mean, every single autonomous conversation is just "show off tattoos" over and over again. And when sims are alone, they go to the nearest mirror "check out tattoos" repeatedly. Even if a sim has 0 tattoos, they still will show it off/check it out exactly the same. It has become quite frustrating. A sim in my game will experience a death in the family and still have a confident mood from those interactions. again, even with 0 tattoos!12Views0likes1CommentLights not working
While in build mode, I was creating a house and all of a sudden some of the lights in the house stopped working. I've replaced the lights, changed them to different lights, and even got rid of the windows, but the lights just wont work, neither do they work in live mode. I closed and reopened the app, restarted my computer, but neither worked. Has anyone else had this problem?invertedrat12 hours agoNewcomer14Views0likes1CommentPlant Sims Scenario - Unable to Absorb Energy
My PlantSim has reached the top of the gardening skill and has about every type of plant (plus lots of spliced ones) but I can NOT get the "absorb solar energy" to appear no matter the time of day or level of energy she has left. Its all I need to finish the scenario and it just won't appear! I do not have any mods or expansions.18Views0likes3CommentsAxolotl faces
Hi! I see all over that when you zoom in or move an axolotl tank from Lovestruck that they should display a variety of different faces. I have been trying for ages to see them in my game but cannot. I have all the packs, game is up to date, and no mods. Am I missing something or doing it wrong?SolvedLeccaLovesYou17 hours agoSeasoned Hotshot20Views0likes2CommentsHorse Ranch trouble
I bought Horse Ranch a few days ago and I have got one problem. I can't bring my horse to competitions. I don't get the option on the phone, or anywhere, to sign my horse up. I can't go to the area where the competition will be held either. Can anyone help me?94Views0likes15CommentsNature's calling event won't trigger
Hello, I am on an asus gaming PC, playing with the most recent update. I have started multiple different saves, I've repaired the game, I've tried it without my mods folder, I turned off mods in-game and reloaded, and I've turned on and off the online social events/the gallery. Nothing I do will trigger the event, and all I have is the woodworking table. Has anyone else experienced this?25Views0likes1CommentSkintones are nonexistent
Hi, I am going a little bit crazy here. I repaired my game twice, removed cache, removed Origin's cache, yet I still do not have the skintones section in my game. It completely vanished. I have no idea what to do. I checked for main mods and updated those. Please help! Thanks so much in advance. I just want to play my game lol :(.20Views0likes1CommentSnowy Escape Festival of Snow vending machine outfits won't appear
My sims went to the festival of snow via the notification menu successfully, and the options for both only purchasing the snow outfit and purchasing/wearing the outfit appear for the vending machine on initial interaction. After purchase of both options and with multiple attempts with successful inventory notifications and simoleon deductions, the options still remain the same upon interacting with the machine afterwards with no option appearing for only wearing the outfit or the outfit appearing by clicking the sim and opening outfit selection. I've also tried opening CAS with the pack filter for full body clothing and everything with absolutely nothing. I tried the debug object option through shift click on both the vending machine and the sim with no change as well. I don't have any cc and my game is fully updated on the ea app. I'm just wondering whether this is a bug other people are experiencing too or if there's a way I can fix this for my game, thank you.201s2 days agoRising Newcomer18Views0likes0CommentsAnyone else having issues with their restaurants?
I have been having tons of issues with my restaurants. I have some sims that are able to order and receive their meals no problem, then others will never have their order taken, even when using the MC control cheat to manually have their order taken. I’ve tried rearranging the tables in multiple positions, far apart from each other, and any configuration imaginable. I’ve made my restaurant larger, moved doorways to make pathways to tables more accessible, still having issues with some (not all) tables being able to receive their orders. Any tips? I do have CC but I’ve repaired the game, updated necessary CC. Running out of ideas and this community is always so helpful. Thanks in advance!msloper6662 days agoRising Newcomer28Views0likes1CommentSims 4 Duplicate world and Lots infinite loading
Just bought Enchanted by Nature and loaded it up after making sure most of my mods were up to date. Loaded in just fine, left my current family and looked at the new map, everything still fine. Went to Chestnut Ridge and tried entering the Canter lot 30x30. Infinite loading screen. Reloaded, tried again, infinite load. Tried the larger lot, heard the music queue that loads into a lot, continued to infinite load. Tried a repair, still didn't work, did a 50/50, still didn't work. tried with empty Mod folder, still won't work. Repaired again, none of the lower lots are working. I could load into the upper worlds lots just fine. I then noticed I had 2 of the new world on my world menu screen. Currently unsure if I want to save at this point due to a potential corruption to my save files. Loaded an older save, tried to load into the Chestnut Ridge lower lots, still hear the music that loads into the lot but continue to stay on loading screen.JWWeise2 days agoNew Traveler25Views0likes3CommentsSims circling at lot boundary and not leaving.
I'm having an issue where my child sims just walk in a tight circle at the lot boundary for ages when they leave for school at 8am. I have four child sims and they all do it. They do eventually leave but not for at least an in game hour or more. Their icons clearly show them to already be at school but they're not. Is this a bug? Or an intentional queuing to leave the lot thing? Edited to add: I put this query in the console technical issues forum and it got moved to gameplay questions and issues?? Don't know why....RheaFallout2 days agoSeasoned Veteran17Views0likes0CommentsCommanding dog to lie down freezes game

The camera bounces around when I'm close to any bodies of water. It's especially bad underground, where you don't even see the pools. Changing the IgnoreLotLevel from false to true in the camera.ini file doesn't work.plainkitt2 days agoRising Newcomer7Views0likes0CommentsHow do vampire children work in the game?
I have a couple (a female vampire and a male non-occult sim) and they have three children and all three are vampires but so far they don't seem to be troubled by the things their mom is troubled by like sunlight and needing to drink blood. When do these things start affecting them? Do I need to buy coffins for them to sleep in and what kind of dinners do they enjoy? Or do the vampire things only become an issue when they age into young adults? It would be pretty difficult going to high school and being a vampire.FlamingoKicker3 days agoRising Ace28Views0likes1CommentUpdate = No Babies?
Been playing my game as usual, sim has twins, was a little glitchy with taking care of them and one time being left on actual stairs. But now no babies? They're still in my household and have plumbobs, but no babies under them?DanniPhantom93 days agoSeasoned Newcomer16Views0likes1CommentI don't have enough points to make the wooden throne
I don't have enough points to make the wooden throne. I did all the tests that they told me to do except for the optional ones. I don't know how to get more points, and I can't move on to the next Quest until I can unlock the wooden throne.KickBox11233 days agoRising Newcomer32Views0likes1Comment
