How to align stairs to platform
I bought a lot of expansions for The Sims 4 on black friday week. A little later I found out that most of the content is missing. Today I found a "bug" that doesn't fit my mind. You can't biuld stairs aligning to a platform. I can't build glass roof provided in the garden stuff package. My game sucks, and I wanna know why and if I am the only one having such problems.
When a Sim Goes Into the Shower, Cleaner Than When They Emerge Again . . .
I find it a tad fascinating that I recently had a Sim who managed somehow to catch on fire. She wasn't so very charred after the fire was out. But, went to shower anyway. Why not? Yet, when she emerged from the shower she appeared worse off then when she went in . . . What is up with that? Before: And After:
Eco Upgrade Parts Missing?
Hi There, I'm unable to craft, purchase, or scavenge eco upgrade parts. Whenever I try to fabricate them, the action cancels halfway through and the only option I have is to scrap the fabrication. I've tried with different fabricators on different lots with different sims and have the same issue. When I try to purchase eco upgrade parts on the computer, the option is not there. The other upgrade parts are available, but not the eco upgrade part. When I go into debug to see if I can simply place one on my lot, the item itself is nowhere to be found. My EA software is up to date and I do not have any mods or CC installed. I was curious if anyone else is having this issue. Thank you!
floating water across lot
Hello, I added a house to a 64x64 lot. it is perfect other than the floating water or green stuff floating. I cannot remove it in build mode, and my sims cannot walk through it. unless it is on the same level. It makes my workout room look ghastly. I've done a search on this, and they suggested moving the lot to a new lot. The house was placed backwards on the first lot, and the green stuff was in the front. I moved the house to a new lot, and the house is placed properly, but now the green stuff is in the back. If I delete and level the house and lot, only the green stuff stays. If I rotate the lot, it goes away, but when I lay the house again, it comes back. I can't rotate the house on the lot, for it takes up the whole lot. I am sure it can be removed someway but i just cant figure it out. Here are a couple pics of the problem. https://gyazo.com/b6fc2cfd309001f50d9605ec786e3a5a
Split from Household and Move not showing up
the split from household and move option hasnt shown up in my game for months now and honestly it's starting to get irritating. I've had to use the "manage household" to transfer sims to already occupied lots, despite building an empty one specifically to move young adults out. I don't know if theres some weird glitch thats been happening for months or if its a feature that they got rid of, but i desperately need it back and dont know what to do.Build Mode Malfunction
Every time I go into build mode my items keeps cancelling before I place them. I repaired my packs, removed all mods, and tried it on a new save, but it keeps happening. I'm not sure how to fix this. It wont let me place any items and when I shift items already on the map it... kind of resets? Basically, it cancels out. Anyone know how to fix this?
No ingame events
No ingame events are happening aside from the exams and sports day. I have 4 expension packs, 2 game packs, and 2 stuff packs. But since 2 weeks ago, no other ingame events other than exams and sportsday are happening I've tried everything to fix this, remove cache files, disabling mods, ive repairded the game multiple times, and i made sure all my script mods are updated. Yet, nothing works at all.
Roasting on a Firepit
My played Sim can not roast on a firepit that has the grilling attachment applied, yet NPC Sims can roast on that same firepit. Why? Is there a Firepit that can be roasted on (not bon fires) that can not have the grilling attachment add? This is a minor irritation, except for the fact that most times, my played Sim freezes, and my game will not close when I use Build mode to remove the grilling attachment on a buildable lot, and of course I can not do even that on the open areas. ThanksFree placement hotkey (shift) not working
I updated my game (for December 2nd 2025 update) and went to go finish a build and noticed my shift key wasn't disabling the snap grid thingy, I assumed it was one of my new CC but when I removed them all, shift still didn't work, so maybe it's a game problem? or me being stupid idk, im on basegame so its not from an addon/mod eitherHow large is your biggest save file?
Hello, The recent problems with save files make me think about what actually a "large save file" means. In the latest EA article Save File Investigation Recap and Early 2026 Plans | EA Forums - 12987702 they wrote "We’ve found compelling evidence that some cases of missing Lots or disappearing houses may be caused by what we call a Protobuf Overflow - a situation where Lot or save data grows so large it hits its storage limit." How large is too large? My current biggest save file is about 155 000KB. I also remember I've had save files about 230 000KB or even bigger back in 2018. Many thanks for everyone who share with me the size of their biggest safe file and maybe issues they have to deal with!
