Occult are broken?
I am doing the occult baby challenge and every single one has not been and occult. Not only this but after switching them via the menu, vampire sims seem to still show signs of being human as they get cold outside. Before I was under the impression that most occults weren't affected by weather. Another issue I found was after trying to get the sim bitten and turned into a vampire nothing would happen after the final moodlet so now my sim has a forever moodlet of "appetite lost" that flashes..
Un-corrupt a save?
Is it possible to repair a possibly corrupted savegame? My problem right now is my save wont load. Household loading causes the game to crash. I can enter cas but leaving it can crash the game. Creating a vanilla household and trying to move into a lot crashes the game. The last time I was able to play I immediently created a seperate save file for that savegame. But now I cant even enter live mode anymore. At the presumed end of the loading process I hear a notification popup sound and then it crashes. I already removed all CC and mods, repaired the game, removed setting files to have them created fresh... I even went through several backup saves (those .ver0-5 files in the save folder) which all have the same issue. I create a savegame of my current one at the beginning of the month. The one from end of november works fine. Everything works as expected. But the current december save doesnt work. So worst case scenario I lose three weeks of progress. I cant do anything with the lastcrash file. Its completely unreadable for me. Which probably means my december save is broken. Is there any chance to save it? Update: After some testing I found the oldest automatic backup thats just a few hours older than the initial save. It allowed me to load my favourite household again. It seemed it worked or wasnt corrupted yet. At least I thought so. I made a seperate save in a new slot again just to be sure. I managed to get into live mode. But it crashed when I entered & left cas. Now its crashing when I try to load the household.
Deck the palms event disappeared
I was over halfway through the deck the palms event and today it's missing. There is no events tab on the main menu and the icon is not appearing in new or old saves. I have removed and disabled all mods, and repaired the game through the EA app but it has not reappeared.
I need advice
I brought the new SpongeBob kits; however, I was unaware of the bundle at the time and therefore didn't get the items it includes, as I got them as separate kits. Is there anything I can do to obtain the bundle items? Is there an email anyone knows to contact? I really like the fish tank, it's got me stuck on what to do... any advice would be appreciated.
What is wrong with this household?
For context: In Fall '23, I created a household consisting of two female Sims. They were married from the start, and both have the loyal trait. They are both family-oriented. This was the second household I added to this save, a couple of months before Lovestruck was released. However, from the very beginning, both had this inclination to flirt with other Sims - which I didn't let them do. One of them accidentally complimented another Sim on their clothes, but that was just the one time, and I have avoided similar actions ever since. Whenever these two interacted, both had the dialogue option "confess betrayal" even though nothing had happened. I tried to ignore this, though it really started to annoy me after a while. I have autonomy on, and at some point, I disabled neighbourhood stories for all my played households. I can't remember the exact date, though, but it's been a while. When Lovestruck came out, things got even more annoying with this household because whenever I didn't play with them, they showed up somewhere in the world stargazing with someone else. One of them even took off to stargaze with someone else while I was playing with them. I disabled attraction so they wouldn't be attracted to other Sims but only to each other. Romance bars are full. I disabled the option to have Sims from my gallery show up on the dating app because at one point, the game duplicated one of them and put her clone on Sulani while the other one showed up on the dating app. Fun fact: the game did this only with these two. Nothing worked. By now, they are both getting options to hit on their best friends, ask random Sims to enter a woohoo partnership, flirt with pretty much everybody... and just now I found out that one of them got married to an NPC Sim somewhere along the way. I have absolutely no idea when, how or why this happened. I didn't even know it was possible for a Sim to have two spouses, and I have no idea who this NPC Sim even is because I don't pay attention to random townies. Something about this household is SO broken, and I can't figure out what it is. This is pretty much the only household that's behaving completely illogically, and not just when it comes to romance. Recently, I sent both of them to the Realm of Magic to discard their magical powers; they were not honing and using those anyway, so I figured they no longer need them. However, one of them can still use her broomstick for flying, even though her magical abilities are gone and the broomstick is no longer in her inventory. At this point, I am so annoyed with this household that I hardly ever play with them at all, yet I don't want to abandon them completely because they are part of the world and the storytelling I created over the past years (the save's turning 3 in a couple of months). If anybody has any idea where these problems might come from and how to solve them, I'd be really grateful. Especially for a solution to the stupid "oh no, I cheated even though I didn't do anything"-bit. Granted, the one who got married to a second Sim off-screen DID cheat, after all, but like I said, the fretting has been there right from the start for both her and her real wife. Since my save is growing and I keep adding households, these two will very likely end up sharing a Sim week with another household which will minimize the annoyance for me. Still, I'd really like to get to the bottom of this. Oh, and I don't use any mods or CC. I play plain vanilla, verify the files regularly and clear the EA app's cache.
CAS facial features adjustment too slow with certain hairstyles
When some hairstyles are being used, the sensitivity when adjusting facial features becomes REALLY slow, I have to move my mouse almost all the way across my desk to get it to make any significant changes. I've tried both with and without mods/cc installed. These are some of the hairstyles I'm experiencing it with. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
Eggs problem
Hi. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but after my sim collects the eggs from the chicken coop, I send him to cook some food with the eggs but the 'eggs' part of the recipe is greyed out and it says that I don't have any eggs either in the fridge or my sim's inventory and I have to sell the eggs before they spoil. Funny thing is, the Golden and Obsidian eggs don't have this problem and I'm not sure if this is a bug. I would appreciate any help I can get on this.
[CONSOLE] Event not visible in game
I cant participate in the Deck the Palms event asit was never available for me in the game. The Support guys said it is server issue on the EA side and I should write it here. So here it is. Hope it will be solved in time to still be able to participate 🤞 Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to TitleThe Sims 4 crashes to the desktop without an error
Hello! I previously created a thread and it seemed like the problem was solved - The game crashes on the desktop when attempting to load a Sims 4 save file | EA Forums - 12562101 The game crashes when I try to load from the town into the family However, the game crashes to the desktop again without any errors. I have already deleted the SIM card fairy that was causing the save errors, but it still crashes. The problem does not occur on another clean save. I checked all the mods, and they work. I renamed the save folder and did everything described here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/start-here-crashingback-to-mapendless-loading-patch-117-221/12512130 The LastUIExceptions, LastExceptions, and LastCrash files are still not being created. Here's a link to the archive with the save file without mods, if you need it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10ytYszi-5QP2GaiqkX4xgLk1kzBzGzFO?usp=drive_link
