Random World Textures in Backgrounds?
So I started noticing these random textures and world props in the background of my lots? They're in every single world, and I genuinely don't know what can be causing it, and it's driving me crazy! I do have a heavily modded game, but even then! I don't know what mod could cause this :(luvs1ckd0ll12 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer20Views0likes4CommentsImaginary Friends Issue
Hello, I got this pop up in the attachment yesterday. I was in build mode. I found out today that it was a bug related to Imaginay Friends. I do play with mods, but none of them to my knowledge has to to do with imaginary friends. Or it could be another mod that effects this. Anyway, since I am a rotational player, I wasn't planing on using Imaginary Friends for this household. But there was another household that I played with a few days ago (In the same save), that did.SimSeeker13 hours agoRising Vanguard14Views0likes1CommentGrey & Blurry Screen

Hey everyone! I’m having a weird issue with Pierisim custom content - specifically the wallpapers. Sometimes they load normally and everything looks fine, but out of nowhere they turn into giant question marks with a rainbow background. Yesterday everything worked perfectly, and today it’s suddenly broken. Has anyone dealt with this before? What causes it and how do I fix it?pineapple753 days agoSeasoned Newcomer37Views0likes3Comments[AA] Kayaks stuck after collision in open water

After I click on Millenium Falcon and select "Fly to Canto Bight with" which then has me select the two NPC's that agreed to mission, the action queue shows "wait" while the two NPC's walk up. They stand there for about 10 seconds and then one by one they walk away and the "wait" just stays there with nothing else happening. My sim just stands there looking around and waiting. I can select mission again and same thing happens over and over. Mission never happens. I'm playing on PC and yes I have mods. My game is fully updated with latest patch 1.119.109. The X-Wing mission fix in the patch works just fine in my game. It appears they only fixed that mission and not the Millenium Falcon one that was also mentioned in the original bug report.

SimData schema hashes in TDESC?
One of the weird things we need to do as mod tooling creators is wait for patches so that we can analyze game files looking for the new SimData schema hashes. If giving us the spec for the hash algorithm is off the table, could we get the TDESC format itself extended to include them? It would be helpful. Thanks for reading. 😉CodeBleu4 days agoSeasoned Rookie57Views4likes0Commentsnot working on Mac
I keep trying to play on the MacBook Air and it doesn't even load up the screen like the EA app just sits there but nothing comes up. Today 11/16/2025 the sims page pops up then shows when it's about to load up but then bounces back to the main page. I'm always having issues with it when it comes to playing online as well, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't so I usually have to play offline which is awful. I also restarted the app and it removed my content on the game which is super disappointing because I had good stuff saved. Whatever is going on with the Mac please! Fix it ASAP cause I love the sims so much it's so fun! Add more fun stuff for base game please thank you!!Kabutchkey5 days agoSeasoned Newcomer38Views0likes3CommentsPerma-Paywall CC is Rampant - Where is EA's Official Reporting Tool?
Hi everyone, Like many of you, I'm a huge supporter of our custom content creators and believe they deserve to be rewarded for their hard work. That's why I fully support EA's policy that allows for a reasonable early access period on platforms like Patreon. However, it's becoming impossible to ignore the growing number of creators who are breaking this rule by putting their content behind permanent paywalls. We all know this isn't "early access"—it's a direct violation of EA's own terms. My question is simple: What is the official, correct way to report these creators to EA? I've spent time on the EA Help site, but I'm struggling to find a clear path. The dropdown menus for reporting don't seem to have an obvious category for "Terms of Service Violation for Paid Custom Content." I know I can't be the only one who has tried to report this and hit a dead end. · Are we supposed to use the "Report a Bug" category? · Is it under "Manage my Account"? · Or is there a hidden contact form we're supposed to use? If an EA Community Manager sees this, clarity would be hugely appreciated. For the rest of the community, if you know the secret handshake or have successfully reported a creator before, please share your knowledge! Let's help each other (and EA) uphold the rules that keep our community fair and creative for everyone.Solvedeflatonik5 days agoNew Adventurer65Views0likes3CommentsGame Crashes every now and Then

Seem to work fine with no mods. I have no idea if this has something to do with MCC or the game itself? Its driving me crazy for sure, and the game being almost unplayable. Have anyone else had similar issues with almost constant crashing and sometimes with the error message and found a solution on this problem? The crashing most of the times also throws the "error on our end caused the launch to fail" Any help would be appriciated18Views0likes1Comment- 31Views0likes2Comments
non tech savvy; mods installed but not showing in game play... pls help!!
brief backstory: I have been having issues with EA/sims since September. one of the updates was too large for my Macbook air. I googled..blahblahblah I buy an external drive, still doesn't work, I uninstall the game and go to redownload but can't bc its still too big or whatever for the computer, email EA, gets settled somehow whatever, ok, I have the game back. go to play and my saved profiles are gone and mods aren't showing, I try to get them back via google, nothing. sad but ok I remake a sim.. now present day. Mods not showing: I have checked off to enable mods and script mods. I have mccmd, nisa and **bleep** - main ones I want to play with the rest I can go without (adeepindigo, lumpinou, little ms sam, etc) but nothing is showing up when I go to play. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, enabling the mods is on, im pretty sure the mods are in the correct folder (ea<sims 4< mods), and no zip or rar, everything is script or package... I'm very clueless, haven't played sims in years so not savvy with mods or anything like that. Ive tried following google and YouTube instructions but nothing seems to help (probably user error) all the previous forums I've read also have not been helpful. if anyone can help teach me through it like I'm a child, I'd be forever grateful, thank you :-) signed, a sad computer illiterate elder millennialprinc3ss_azula6 days agoSeasoned Newcomer47Views0likes4CommentsToddler beauty pageant mod

Hi so, I haven't played the sims 4 since the beginning of the year and these last few days I have just been deleting and updating broken mods. The thing is that even after all of that, after asking on discord, after doing 50/50 and after doing a folder refresh, I am still getting an LE because of an ''Outdated Tunable Resource Error'' even though i'm currently just loading the game with cc (body and clothes). If I also use my furniture and/or other mods, the game gets stuck on the loading screen but if I use them separetly everythings seems to be okay and i don't know what to do anymore... please I need help I just want to be able to play :(gmas_19996 days agoRising Newcomer45Views0likes1CommentWhy does it keep saying "mods missing" in CAS
Question, i hope this is in the right place lol i hope this makes sense. okay so i made one sim and saved it to my gallery. i then redownloaded them into a new family. i cleared the sims entire CAS things off so he was totally nakey. i then rebuilt him without any of the sliders, clothes, accesories etc. put new hair and eyes mouth etc on him. saved him again as this new sim. a friend of mine went and dowloaded him onto her game. however every time she goes to play it says "mods missing" even though i gave her all the mods that he had. now is he saying that because she doesnt have all the sliders downloaded from the very original sim? even though everything is changed about it? or?12Views0likes1Comment
