My game will not open whenever I add a new mod.
Hello everyone, I could really use some help! My game has not been opening for 2 weeks. I've done the 50/50 method multiple times. Whenever I narrow it down to one folder, it's never that folder that's the problem. The game would work, then stop again after I tried to reopen it the next day. I've repaired my game, uninstalled it, and updated my script mods, but I still cannot find it. I also noticed that when I add a mod, it will stop working, but when I remove it, the game is still messed up. Does anyone have any experience with this? Or does anyone have ideas on what I can do? Thank you!
Gallery keeps crashing ea app and sims 4 when launching stops responding. On mac
I have done everything to fix the problem but it will not work. If I am not using cc the gallery wont crash ea app but when using cc and mods it did. I was able to fix the problem two times but when I tried again it did not want to work. Please help.
Can't follow sims to work with Turbo Careers
Hi. I use the Turbo Careers mod, created lots for each playable occupation, but the sims aren't receiving alerts to follow them at work. I play on my laptop through the Ea App and have the latest version of the mod. Does anyone know which mod is incompatible and could be causing Turbo Careers to malfunction?
Sims 4 Tray Importer Broken - What's the Alternative?
Hi All, Since the tray importer does not work for replacing the default gallery images for our creations, what is the alternative? For me, when I change out the default with a custom image for the gallery with S4TI, my townie gets corrupted and I have to delete them permanently (thankfully I had a backup). I assume that is the issue others are experiencing, and most forums just state it isn't working, but provide no alternative or other details. However, I still see custom images on the Gallery all the time. So, there must be an alternative right? Does anybody know? Every Google search just redirects me back to S4TI (thanks AI). Thanks, SS
Deleted my cache files and now all of my sims with cc are black.
Hi there, I followed the instructions exactly to delete the cache files from my game as it’s been really glitchy (with and without mods) anyways once I went back to my game after deleting the cache my script mods don’t appear at start up even though everything in the settings is checked on. Consequently it’s not recognizing my mods folder now and every sim is black. can someone please help I’ve spent hours troubleshooting and nothing is bringing them back.Mod/Game issue?
Hello! earlier today I downloaded some new mods. when I played, I wasn't able to right click my mod to see the other pie menu. I removed the newer mods I added and nothing changed, so I removed the entire mods folder onto my desktop, and there still wasn't a difference. I repaired the app as well. I moved the sims 4 folder out of the EA folder and onto my desktop. The issue was still not resolved when creating an entire new game and now I don't know if it will ever be fixed and if I will ever get my worlds back :(
after the update
After the update, game isn't working right. It worked perfectly for 2 days with the Xpack download. After, the update, my UI cheat extension doesn't work. FYI, it is the only mod i have in it. I refuse to play without it, just isn't for me otherwise. If anyone uses it and it suddenly starts working for you please let me know, plus let me know if you are also having the same issue. Thank you.
MY GAME KEEPS CRASHING!!
So apparently, my game was working yesterday. I added new cc yesterday and then it popped up after restarting the game, and my game was perfectly fine. I downloaded more cc from yesterday, and today I decided to play the sims 4, but then my game said Not Responding. I put my mods in the desktop folder, then later, the game started working. Is there an app to find corrupted mods so that my game can finally respond with my cc?my cc all reset help
okay yes i have mods and lots. i do take care of it and i know its my fault if something breaks and i do the take out half trick and i never complain when one breaks, thats my problem. After this latest update everything was fine and then i got off for a couple hours and i try to load it back up and it says one mod is broken. so i went through and found it and it loaded up after awhile of looking for the broken one and i load into my main save that ive been using for like a year, and the house has no cc, everyones bald and has no cas cc...? its been 2 weeks of trying to fix it, i know my mods are on cause i can go to cas and put the cc back on or in build mod i can place it back. but i cant do that for EVERY save and every house and every sim? yes its all my saves! ive spent hours going through mods and doing half and half and updating, reinstalling ea and all that. and obviously its not my mods, it must be a file or something cause trust me ive looked through all my mods SO many times but i cant just like restart my sims cause thats a year worth of sim generations and cc that would spend so many hours redoing the townies and every sim in every save and then the houses i spent 10 hours on for just one house!! anyone know how i can fix this???? please help i spent all my money i save up for packs cause i love playing this and i dont want to restart everything
Endless Loading
Hi, I just want to add myself to this thread as well — I’m experiencing the exact same issue. My biggest concern is that I’ve been playing on the same save file since 2014, with over 10,000 hours in-game and more than 800 families. I’m genuinely terrified of losing this save file because of this problem. I haven’t even played with the new DLC yet — or rather, I can’t! All the lots in Everdew are untouched in my game, and so are the NPCs who live there. I do use mods, but the only script mods I have installed are MCCC and UI Cheats. Of course, I’ve already tested the game without my mods folder, deleted my localthumbcache and also repaired the game through the EA App. New save files seem to work fine — Everdew loads without issues in those. I regularly back up my save files every few months, and I even keep copies across multiple hard drives just in case. Yes, I’m a little overprotective of my saves, as you can probably imagine! Unfortunately, all of my other older save files are affected by this issue as well. So I really, really hope this can be fixed — for the sake of my game... and my sanity!
[EbN] A few mods/tweaks—I think should have been official
Foraging for Apothecary Ingredients does not include Apples (as they are not an ingredient) Apothecary Ingredients, Potions, Cures and Charms can be Copypasto'ed (Realm of Magic) Mystical and Disruptive are compatible with Macabre (Life & Death) I saw no issues when initially testing, as it is just file tuning, but be aware as modding and CC may have adverse effects to your game, and I am just an amateur modder.
CAS Lash Alignment
Hi - has anyone else had any issues with lashes after the last update? I use the Kijiko lashes and I'm noticing a gap between the lashes and eyelids whenever my Sims blink. I play in CAS a lot, like more time than I play in-game, so it's just really bothering me. I looked at Kijiko's page to see if I missed an updated version, but there doesn't seem to have been one since 2024. I used to be aware of a lash fix in Sims4Studio, but I don't remember it so I'll have to look around for it. This is also the case for all of my other CC lashes as well. Thanks in advance!
How did mods get into my game!?
How does this even happen? I have a feeling these are why my game keeps crashing. How do I suddenly have mods in my game when I've never downloaded any mods, or used any mods? Here is a screenshot of the mods that I apparently am running (not sure how they got there): Also, whenever I load my game to play (from the EA app), the following window (2nd attachment) pops up!! What is going on here? Note: I just purchased a brand new computer (laptop) with Windows 11 installed. It appears everything transferred over from the old computer as far as my Sims4 is concerned, except these 2 options have popped up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!Advice/Help?
Hi all, I've been playing the sims 4 for at least three years but only discovered mods last year I think. I'm having some issues so ever since the bug that deleted the pregnacy tests (which I now have back) but I'm still unable to but dishes in the trash/bin or the sink which is where part one of my problem is because I still cant drag dirty dishes into either the sink nor the trash. The second part of my problem is my sims will only cook certain things (the only items I have found they can make is garden salad, caprese salad and faux blt that's about it) but things like french toast and spinnach fritata they'll get half way and then stop, so when I make them resume it they refuse to do it because there is something in the way. I have checked and there is nothing in the way of them making it so I'm stuck on what to do or how to fix it. Any help would be appreicated on how to fix this issueSims 4 hats not showing
I am having an issue since the last patch update with hats not showing at all in create a sim no matter which season you are using (everyday, formal, workout, hot weather, cold weather), and this is for all ages of sims. I do play with cc and mods in game, but when I noticed this after last patch I removed all cc and mods, ran the game and still no hats at all.
