Showing that its not connected to the internet
Okay so this has been happening for a couple months now, but when I am in game I can not access anything that uses the internet so the gallery, market place, and I couldn't even see the last log in reward event. I don't get any error codes or anything either, it just wont work even though my laptop is connected to the internet. I've tried restarting my game, removing my mods fodder, clearing the cache, even restarting my laptop. I really don't know what else I can try to do.SolvedBatSkulls072 days agoNew Novice68Views0likes4Comments
Unable to play Royalty and Legacy Expansion Pack
I cannot play the new pack I just bought yesterday. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling (the entire game including every single pack that I own.) I have tried repairing every file. I did have mods but I made sure to take them out, too. I have tried taking all my save files out. Noting works. I just want to play the new expansion. Please fix!!! Thank you.Solvedhappyinpurple3 days agoRising Novice87Views0likes3Comments
My calendar has shifted - anyone know why and how I can fix it?
I play a pack challenge. When I activated seasons I made sure I did it on an in game Sunday, so that seasons would run smoothly across the weak (sunday to saturday for a season). I then added holidays where I wanted them. After the update, everything shifted two days. So seasons start on Fridays, the holidays that were previously on a Thursday now happen on a Tuesday. As in every single holiday is moved two days. Now I had mods before, not many though, but only MCCC that affect time (I had the game move slightly slower than normal) but now for obvious reasons my game is vanilla. Could this have caused this? And can I fix it? Or is it just wait it out until mods are fixed and return to the older save and hope it's normal there? That would be super annoying because I've spent most time since the update building and I haven't been able to save to the gallery for months so all that building will have been in vain. Anyone who has experienced anything like this before?SolvedJesLet403 days agoSeasoned Ace82Views0likes4Comments
Sims troll teh forum without mischief skill
I thought the update stated sims who do not have the mischief skill would not autonomously troll teh forums or gain the mischief skill? I updated my game and my sim who dislikes deception, potty humor, pranks, malicious interactions just autonomously trolled teh forums without even having any skill in mischief. Does this update only apply to new saves? Edit By crinrict: Adjusted TitleSolved46Views0likes2Comments
Computer Menu Unusable
After todays update I logged on and all my computers are unclickable for adult sims. When playing as a young adult, adult, or elder I can't seem to access computers. The computer shows an outline around it, the gear icon shows up, but when I click nothing pops up. The teen and child sims are unaffected, they can still use the computer menus. My adult sims will still use computers of their own free will but the menu doesn't appear.Solved9a13160a83fb2fc83 days agoSeasoned Newcomer82Views0likes2CommentsItem previews not shown

rental apartments broken again despite of replacing them
i've just built my save file, no mods, no cc, mods disabled. my rental apartments where bugged, they had 0 bath and 0 bed (i didnt assign them) and the rental apartment looks like on the image. then i've deleted those buildings and put them back from the gallery, assigned the beds and toilets manual. it worked at first, by the time i was done with re-editing all rental apartments (literally everyone of them was bugged), i thought its gone now. for tomarang it still looks normal, a price, visible rooms etc but all the previous apartments in newcrest, willow creek etc that i've replaced at the beginning are bugged like this again, it stillsays the toilet and bed rooms but they all have a 0 simoleon price and you cant see inside the rooms anymore.SolvedVCWhittman8 days agoSeasoned Adventurer94Views0likes3Comments
Specific directions to the Library in Verdemar
Hi. I had my Sim explore Verdemar very recently. There is a lot called hardcover, I believe, that is a library by day and something more at night. This was suggested as the best place to hold a Royal press conference. (It comes with the royal podium.) If someone knows exactly how to get there, I would be very grateful. My poor young regal Sim has to hold yet another royal presser and this will be his third ---- mind you, his scandal is considered a minor one. (I would really hate to see what happens were any of my Sims to manage to commit a more serious scandal.) 😮 😮 🙃 Please, and thank you, in advance. ~GalacticGalSolved136Views0likes4Comments

my sims disappeared
While trying to split two sims from my household the game started clitching. Then i had to shutdown the game but managed to save it first. I believe that this was a mistake. Because after starting the game again, i can only find another of my two sims. Other sim does not even exist anymore, not even in the contacts or "not in the world" households. Second sim was in the other households.Solvedtakru9316 days agoRising Novice92Views0likes3Comments
Can't enter households.
Hello. Whenever I am trying to enter any household for one of my saves, it starts for like 1-2 seconds to enter, but I am then immediately tossed back to choose a neighborhood. It doesn't matter what family it the saved file I try to enter, the same thing keeps happening. I have tried to do a repair several times, but the problem continues. I have tried to remove all my Mods and such, but the problem continues. I have created new gameplays where the problem is gone, but my Main gameplay remains unplayable 😞 I have waited for MONTHS to see if any new updates would have made the problem disappear, but alas, the problem remains. I have a new computer, and the lagging that was a problem as well has stopped, but I can still NOT enter my household. So it's not an issue with the computer not being strong enough to handle the save. What can I do? How do I remove the problem without having to start all over again? I have spent a long time building the generations.Solved351Views0likes17Comments
A Part of Recent Updates' Elements Not Show Up In My Game
I posted this here because I thought there might be a problem with the way I was handling my data, but I apologize if I posted in the wrong place. Assumptions: On PC via EA app, no MOD/CC, Version 1.121.372 English ver. D drive is used as a backup drive exclusively for Sims 4, and the entire Sims 4 folder is saved separately. In most cases, I play only one household in one Sims 4 folder. The family tree of each playable Sim spans three generations or less. Basically, it's not a story-based gameplay, but rather a gameplay to check things that interest me. In these cases, data containing environmental elements to see what I want to check - for example, data containing a parent-child household to see behavior related to infant/toddler care - is copied from the backup to the EA folder and then play begins. Each backup data can take several months, or even years, between plays, and updates made during that time are received when you resume play. But the data that has this issue this time is data that is played once every year, and the last saved day is Jan/29/2026. I've been playing this way for the past few years, and every update has been updated without any omissions. However, this time, a part of the updates from the three updates released in February(Feb/03, 12, 19/2026) are not shown up. As you can see from the image above, neither the Landgraab nor the Goth have found a dynasty. And Caleb Vatore's mother and Granpa are not shown in his family tree. But new Dynasty system and family tree system are reflect in the game. So, it appears that only the parts that were added to the background elements in the pre-made Sim are not reflected. I did: All but saves, screenshots, notify.glob and Options deleted from existing data, then run the game. (If not adding notify.glob, I lost all poped-up notifications in the Notification Panel. That's not I want.) Run the Sims 4 without folder in EA folder, created new Sims 4 folder, then left content folder and GameVersion txt in new folder, after then copyed my save files, notify.glob and UserSetting ini to new folder, run the game. Deleted all cache files in the Sims 4 folder and EA app's (everytime I do this process), repaired game from EA app, and recovered save file. In either case, I used the data copyed from backup for test play each time, but the elements not shown in my game. Is there anything else I can do to get the missing updates element back?SolvedPick-a-boo_doo17 days agoSeasoned Ace147Views0likes4CommentsFloor patterns at an angle
