My sims are having to buy entry into the business they work at
This is my first time playing a sim that does not live on the small business venue they work at. I traveled to the venue where the business is and where the owner lives, to find out that I still have to have my sims buy entry into the business to start working. This doesn't make sense to me and I'm wondering if this can be fixed.tismsimulation1 hour agoSeasoned Novice113Views0likes7Commentsseasons

A while ago, I purchased the 'Island Living' expansion pack while it was on sale, and went to go download it. The problem was, I couldn't find in the manage game content area for the game on my Ps5 or on the EA app even though it says I own the pack and to just download it. I also noticed I had 'City Living' in the owned expansion pack category but it wasn't in my game because there was nowhere to download it from. Again, I had bought both packs while they were on sale and didn't get any of them.abcc252ObPLghg2 hours agoRising Newcomer31Views0likes2CommentsNon-vampire parents had a vampire baby
One of my households has a spellcaster dad and a human mom. They have 3 daughters together. Two of them are spellcasters, and one is a vampire. I didn't think the game allowed traits to be passed down. However, even if it did, I'm not sure how she would've inherited vampiric genes. The only thing I can recall is that the girls' grandmother was a human who became a vampire after being turned by her husband. Sometime after the divorce, she cured her vampirism and married a spellcaster. But I can't remember if she cured it before or after having children with her new husband. So, my question is, can an occult trait be passed down from a grandparent?tonja846 hours agoSeasoned Novice42Views0likes1CommentGame version keeps rolling back

All I see is the library There are three reasons why you don't have access to the Gallery at all (no icon for it). In two cases there's nothing you can do about it. The Gallery doesn't work with those two versions. For the thread, check your options and adjust your settings.

After asking a partner to just be friends, satisfaction is still tracked, and I still receive warnings that my partner is dissatisfied and we will break up, even though I have not spoken to the sim in about two weeks and the relationship has ended. When I try to repair the relationship, the option is greyed out.304Views1like2CommentsFor Rent
Having issues collecting rent and the grace period not appearing at all. Only just started playing with a new save and this pack and I can't seem to receive any rent. The grace period appeared for one of the house holds and has now fully vanished. It never reapears after the lease, the timer of days just counts down again. I've never received any rent from any of my properties.intotheworldofme1 day agoRising Newcomer55Views0likes2CommentsSims Freezing
I am having an issue where when one of my sims will come home from work or school and get stuck outside. They won't even move to a different location outside. If I quit and go to the loading screen and restart the game, it usually fixes it. Also, I am having issues having my sims care for their toddler/infant. I will tell a sim any sim to feed or give bath, but they never do it. Any tips?pointedancer10121 day agoRising Newcomer66Views0likes3CommentsSims can’t walk through area with nothing visible blocking the path
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? 1.96.397.1020 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?

A house in the Gallery called Manoir Ombraguex by VortexBOA What happens when the bug occurs? Only on the third floor the sim will not walk through, a thought bubble that shows they can’t pass will pop up What do you expect to see? The sim to be able to walk freely as nothing is blocking their path Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure It only occurs on the third floor, my sims won’t be able to walk through, even if I remove all surrounding decor, I have removed the doors, lights, windows, stairs, literally everything and they will not move passed for some reason, I can’t figure it out for the life of me. I have vampire sims so I’m able to transport them to the other rooms in the third floor, they have no issues walking through the rooms themselves, or even to the side patio, but for whatever reason they can’t walk on either side of the stairs correctly.Solved5.7KViews0likes5Comments
