New Update Has Broken My Homescreen
I tried to go onto the sims today and it made me update. I did, went into the game and then because I wanted to go into CAS I went to settings to enable mods. I downloaded the newest version of the more CAS columns mod and restarted the game, but now every time I go onto the sims the homescreen is black and literally nothing works - can't load or resume game, can't access gallery, nothing. I deleted the mod from my laptop and restarted multiple times, also repaired the game through the EA app. It still doesn't work, I now think the issue is probably to do with the update and not the mod (however I have no tech knowledge so would also like to mention that I've had other mods installed in the past)42Views0likes2CommentsBroken and Updated Sims 4 Mods and CC: patch 1.123, April 16, 2026

I originally posted this in the General Discussion but realized this is probably a more accurate place for my problem. I'd searched the forum to see if anyone else had this problem but I couldn't find any discussions about it. I'm seeing these tiny, black dots (looks like insects) showing through my lots in Mt. Komorebi, in the Wakaba neighborhood. I only notice this occurring in Wakaba, the other neighborhoods appear to be fine, any help is greatly appreciated thank you!Mothefro_1 hour agoNew Rookie866Views0likes10CommentsMods after April 16 2026 Patch
My script mods have been broken since the patch before this one, each one that is currently in my game is updated (mc command, basemental, pandasama childbirth). However, every time I go to open my save it tells me there is a better exceptions alert and it loads nonstop. I cleared my localthumbcache, please help70Views0likes1CommentAll my builds are gone
I was downloading CC and when I went back into my game all of my builds (except for the one I was most recently working on) are all gone. I've downloaded CC from these websites before, nothing sketchy ,at least I don't think. I deleted all the cc downloaded today and everything is still gone. This happened to me already once before, luckily I had recently made a copy of my Sims 4 file so I was able to copy over my saves from that. Unfortunately, that copy is 2 months old and I would be losing so much progress on several of my builds. I don't know whether it's corrupt save files or something to do with the game itself but I am absolutely DEVASTATED. Edit: I just found out about the most recent April 16th update, this might have something to do with that, but chances are it probably doesn'tcheese_froggie1 hour agoRising Newcomer63Views0likes2CommentsSim keeps falling over
Not sure if this is a glitch, but my sim keeps falling into the floor like this. Every time he walks around, not only through the house but also around the neighborhood, he always falls into the ground like this. I’ve seen other posts and not my sim does not have the clumsy trait, though I doubt it looks this way when they trip and fall. Any ideas?20Views0likes1CommentMarketplace UI exceptions caused by Weerbesu's UI extension
I am on PC and the Marketplace just shows as a box on box in the left hand corner and it says wwwwww above it. My games plays normally but after I save to exit - after it saves. It then prompts me to connect online. Though by then it is in Exit mode and so - there's nothing I can click and it exits normally. I am online - and the settings confirm I am online. And my internet connection is fine and is the same - as per above - this connect issue started after the update.90193055 hours agoSeasoned Adventurer173Views0likes4Comments[CC and Milestones, error code 110-578ef827] Stuck On Loading Screen Sims 4
Hello, I'm encountering an issue with my game screen sticking on loading screen when I try to play with a household. I've attempted bulldozing and moving out my Sims, but unfortunately, it hasn't resolved the issue. I've also tried deleting and reinstalling the game, starting with a new household ( which loads without a problem), However, whenever I attempt to play with my desired household, the game gets stuck on the loading screen. Interestingly, I can hear the sound effects indicating that The Sims 4 has finished loading.

I like trying to add my own stuff to the game, like pictures of shows, movies, books, whatever I think I would like in real life. I know about using Curseforge and a few other places for custom content. I want to do my own, and I was wondering what other people have had success with here when they do this too. I also would like to give my Sims some of the recipes/foods that I've made in real life, but I have no idea how to really do that.50Views0likes4CommentsNo searching in search bar after the blue EA icon.
After the EA blue icon, my search bar in build mode with Sims 4 will not work. Either it crashes when i try to search or it brings up strange things when I type in debug. Or other items are also mixed up. I have 200 custom content items with 7 programs running with Sims 4. Doesn't matter if I keep the cc folder in the game or remove it to my desktop, I get the same result with the search bar. I have also tried to repair the game 4 times. Nothing. I also have remove the cache files several times. Should I remove the EA program and reinstall?? I have also turned off automatic updates, if this is not going to be an issue. I am at a loss for what to do next. Have tried everything.132Views0likes4CommentsMalicious Script Mods and Other Malware
NO CURRENT INCIDENT See below for past incidents See also the section in How to Use Mods and CC about "Safe Simming" for advice on how to avoid downloading compromised files. Download TwistedMexi's Modguard mod (from his website or Curseforge) to help protect you from the malware-infested ts4script file you thought was okay, even after you were being cautious. ModGuard Conflicts Do not use mods or tools that are blocked by TwistedMexi's Modguard or that conflict with it, even if they have no malware on examination. Removing Modguard so that you can use a mod means leaving yourself open to malware-infested ts4script mod. Don't do that. Known issues: SYVR – SimsSweep: Triggers a ModGuard report (based on player report). Claims to duplicate ModGuard function but has other serious issues, and I strongly advise not using it. More info here. fgeh – Pose Manager: Blocked by ModGuard. Not necessary as you can still manage poses manually. ***************************************************************************************** January 2024 Incident Beginning as early as mid-January 2024, we began seeing Sims 4 script mods with malicious executable .exe code hidden in them. The mods masqueraded as being from existing creators or from a brand-new creator with a name similar to an existing one. In one known case, it appears that a creator’s account was hacked to update the creator’s own mod page. These mods also presented themselves as being previously existing mods. (Mac users: Because this is .exe code, it won’t affect you, but may produce LEs.) Mods known to have been compromised "PimpMySims4" (impersonated) – Cult Mod – was on Mod the Sims; now removed MySims4 – "Social Events - Unlimited Time" – was on Curseforge; now removed MSQSims (hacked) – on The Sims Resource, Feb. 5-8; all removed Mood Cheat Menu Motherlode Menu Seasons Cheat Menu Weather Forecast Cheat Menu PlayersWonderland (hacked) – Mouth Preset N16 ts4script file – on The Sims Resource, now removed V1 of an adult mod, with a January file date – on LoversLab How to check your system for the January 2024 malware To see if your system has been affected by the malicious code: select Windows-R In the window that opens, type this: %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UserData In the folder that opens, look for files called Updater.exe and/or Main.exe. If you are affected If you had one of these files, assume that any sensitive data on your PC may be compromised and take the steps below: Clear your system for this specific virus. (See below.) This must be done FIRST. If you have the Discord app or a cryptocurrency wallet app, uninstall them. This is important if not obvious: Starting these can trigger an attempt to reinstall this malware. Change your passwords. Add two-factor authentication where available. If you had saved credit card or similar information to a web browser, remove it and find out from your financial institution (or other relevant site) what action to take next. Reinstall Discord and cryptocurrency wallet apps from fresh downloads. Learn more about keeping your data secure in the future: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Services-General-Questions/Answers-HQ-Online-Security-Newsletter-January/m-p/13449052/thread-id/447422 To clear your system: Download this fix created by Maxis mod-host partner Curseforge: SimsVirusCleaner Double-click the SimsVirusCleaner.exe file in your Downloads folder tor run it. This is a good time to run a general virus/malware scan on your computer. More things to know Curseforge and The Sims Resource updated their file screening for this method of malware inclusion. Type of mods affected: The least likely mods to be affected were mods that are only .package files and mods uploaded by mod creators on Patreon or their own sites. Most Sims 4 mods are not script mods and aren’t doing anything requiring a ts4script file. Downloaded folders: Assume that any folder containing a collection of mods might include a compromised mod containing code that can steal your passwords, your banking info, and much more. Do NOT download and install these collections. If you have done so at any time since mid-January, check your system. New prevention/detection Sims 4 tool: TwistedMexi released a tool called ModGuard. April 2024 Incident [April 7, 2024] Malware via a mod that downloaded as only a text file with a link. Known cases: "S4 CAS Tools" on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from the late CmarNYC, dated 18 March 2023) “Loading Screen Randomizer” on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from Tesuto , dated 9 January 2024) Do NOT follow the links in text files. Do NOT download other files or follow links from this user. No legitimate mod download will EVER consist of only a text file (a file ending in .txt). If you downloaded either of these, delete them and run a virus scan. NOTE: This type malware does NOT require that you run the game for it to install itself, and is not what ModGuard is designed to detect and stop. November 2024 Incident On November 5, 2024, on Mod the Sims, someone uploaded malicious versions of at least four mods. Unlike the earlier incident, no new accounts were involved, and one of the accounts breached was TwistedMexi's. No other compromised mods were found. It is not yet known what the effect of any malware included or called up was, so assume it's very bad. What to do If you downloaded any mods with .ts4script files from Mod the Sims on November 5, delete the mod and run a virus scan. If you don't already have it, download TwistedMexi's tool ModGuard. It will not protect against all possible script-file exploits, but it will help. Note that your other system protections cannot see what's in a .ts4script file. April 13, 2025 incident Some SimFileShare CC compromised Do not download mods from SimAndy or TheNinthWaveSim or Pixelunivairse mods/CC from SimFileShare. The accounts are compromised. Files present include an executable (.exe) file presumed to be malicious. If you downloaded files from these creators after about April 11, delete them and run a virus scan The owner of SFS has removed all known compromised files, and SFS is permitting file uploads again. Please remain cautious about what you download, especially files that were updated in early April 2025. March 2026 incident Multiple Mod the Sims accounts compromised. Ts4script files uploaded, including to mods/CC that should not have one. Files contents clearly malicious. If you downloaded any ts4script files from Mod the Sims beginning March 1, 2026, delete immediately and run a full-system malware and virus check. All compromised files have been removed. An 18+ mod-hosting website is also compromised. If you have recently downloaded an 18+ mod from an 18+ website and you don't use ModGuard, check if you've been infected with malware: Look in your Sims 4 install location for a file called "out.exe" (or "out" if extensions are hidden). Do not run the file. Do this: Delete the file Delete recently downloaded 18+ mods Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently delete them Run a full virus and malware scan Change your passwords April 2026 info post A creator named UNYOOZD claimed that they replaced their CC download files with ones containing malware. Their Patreon was deleted a few days later. There is no evidence of malware having been available from links or downloads. Their TSR downloads are just standard .package files and not malware. If you do have any .zip, .rar., .exe., or .ts4script files from this creator, you could delete those. I recommend, however, not spreading word that there was actual malware from them, as there’s no evidence of this Current Impact of Incidents on Mod Update News Updates of mods/CC hosted only on Mod the Sims are on pause. - updated March 2, 202658KViews44likes22CommentsMy sim cannot interact with others, the pie menu doesn’t pop up.
My sim cannot interact with other sims as the pie menu doesn’t not pop up. I don’t know what else to do. Is anyone else having this problem? I’m thinking it might be the royalty mod by Kiara but I can’t check until after work. Please let me know if there’s a mod or something that you’ve done that fixes this.
