Sims 4 not sleeping
Hi All I am a long term player 20 + years so I know the sims well. Playings sims 4 currently and my sims are not sleeping the entire night. Can confirm - no mods, no electronics and its every household and every sim. Theres no music or pets. They are waking up when their bar isnt full and I have to put them back to bed maybe 2-3 times. Its only just happened recently. Anyone else having this problem? Wondering if its an update issue? ThanksHow 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!
[EBN] Advertised cross-pack feature doesn't exist?
The June 26, 2025 press release for Enchanted by Nature included the following line: With The Sims 4 Island Living Expansion Pack, the Werevolves Game Pack and the Vampires Game Pack, Sims can use Apothecary crafting to create an Elixir that refills all needs instantly for Occult Sims. I can't find any evidence of this occult-specific elixir? Not in gameplay, not in buydebug. I've been able to unlock Werewolf, Vampire, and Spellcaster specific nectars on those occults when leveling nectar-making from Horse Ranch. Moonstone in Crystal Creations is explicit about the effects it has on both occult and regular sims.
Tattoo Artists Automatically Hired
Are there any community lots (aside from small businesses and AA custom lots) where a tattoo artist automatically spawns? I'd read online that Maker Space and Marketplace lots from Eco Lifestyle would automatically generate a tattoo artist if the table is placed but when I've tested it in game it seems I'm still required to hire a sim. Would love to know if there are any confirmed lot types where you can place and automatically have them generate.Error code 111:6a137a9c: 5102d3ec.
Please help-this error code keeps popping up and won’t let me launch game. I have tried deleting any empty plates in my lot to which they just end up in my inventory so I can’t really even delete them. I have also tried loading a saved version of this sim from a couple days ago, to which I got the same error code. Please help
Eyebrows automatic selection mismatched
The eyebrows of a brown hair sims were automatically assorted to his hair. After the last update, it was still clicked but his eyebrows where blonde. I unclicked and cliked again and it was fixed. The same happened to another brown haired sims who had eyebrows switched to black. I had pictures of those sims before and can confirm they had the right colour before the update. It happened to alien born of an abduction. No CC no mods.The sims 4 Adventure awaits costume
I have an issue where whenever I go to the Fitness Fest during Wednesday, my sim wants to put on a costume as it’s suppose to be but I can’t find any way to do it. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or I just don’t know where to look?? Other sims are wearing their costumes.BUILD SOS! Can't Click Second Floor
Where are my builders at??? Hi! Please help me with this issue I've had for days now. For some reason the second floor of my remodel is disabled? "Go Here" doesn't appear when I click on it.

Heirlooms are not showing up…
I saw there was a similar issue with the heirlooms about 8 months ago…I am having the same issue now…I have tried everything and it seems like it’s not gonna be fixed until an update for this bug is fixed… I have turned off all mods and CC, I have restarted my game, repaired it through both EA app and Steam, I have cleared my files…this is most likely a bug…help…I’m doing a decades challenge and I need the heirlooms from a previous sim in the household who has now passed away… :(
Question about Getaway schedules and lectures
Question about Getaway schedules and lectures: I am trying to set up a Getaway and create a schedule where Sims can attend a lecture. The option appears for me so I assume it requires the Business and Hobbies EP and a whiteboard. My issue is that I assigned the role Students and added Attend Lecture, but when I create a Teachers role there is no option to Give Lecture. How are the students supposed to attend a lecture if no one can give one? I also checked social interactions but found no option to ask a Sim to give a lecture. Is this a bug or am I missing something?Apartments and world areas
Hi Some of my apartments in San Myshuno are not working properly. They have a white square over them . If i go to move my sim out the only option is to sell the business , but its not a business just an apartment. If I do sell it the Sim vanishes without a trace . I can move them out through the manage households option but there are so many apartments I can no longer play. This happened after an update . I cant remember which one but recently. After the last update of the sims launcher i can no longer play certain areas of San Sequoia all the lots in Anchorpoint Wharf and all the lots in Hopewell Hills go to loading screen and it loads forever so have to close the game. I have removed all mods and this did not resolve either issue ..any help welcome ThanksCan't place or sell items in build mode/ Can't place items in display cases
I have a hard time placing and or selling items in the build mode even before the latest expansion pack dropped. There is a problem with placing items or selling items in build more without having to constantly going in and out of build mode. I also have a small business and there are issues placing items that you want to sell on display cases so you are unable to sell items and improving the small business.
