Sul Sul! I'm trying to create custom careers, aspirations and traits, but most tutorials I find are old and refer to Mod Constructor. Does anyone know of up-to-date guides that do not rely on mod constructior or Neia's career constructor?MillieSalem2 days agoNew Rookie36Views0likes1Commentpacks and mods

Hi EA and Sims 4 team, I am having a large blue rectangle appearing in the bottom-left corner of my Sims 4 game. It covers part of the UI and makes it difficult to use the game. I have already tried many troubleshooting steps: Removed/renamed my Mods folder and tested with no Mods or CC Deleted localthumbcache.package Repaired The Sims 4 through the EA app Reset the Sims 4 user folder and tested with a fresh folder Reset Options.ini Changed between windowed/fullscreen Lowered the graphics settings Enabled Laptop Mode Updated my Intel graphics-related drivers through Windows Update Restarted my laptop and the game The blue rectangle is still there even with a completely clean Sims 4 setup and no Mods/CC. My laptop uses Intel Graphics, and Windows reports that the graphics device is working properly. The problem appears on the Residential Worlds/world-selection screen, and the blue rectangle stays in the bottom-left corner. Could EA please investigate whether this is a Sims 4 UI/rendering bug introduced by a recent update? I can provide screenshots and any additional information needed. Thank you. ❤️dssa1yafo2274 days agoRising Newcomer30Views0likes1CommentMods not showing up in game
My mods are not working for the sims even though my mods are enabled, the mods are not zip files or anything like that. I tried both script mods and normal custom content. I know that my mods are in the right folder and put in properly. I have had the sims for around 3 years and have used mods the entire time and never had this problem. I was having this problem on my laptop (not a MacBook if that's relevant) a few months ago and thought I had somehow messed it up but now I am facing this problem on my PC. I have tried restarting the EA app, using the repair option, and app recovery but nothing has worked. I have no idea what to do anymore and just bought new packs earlier thinking this issue was only something on my laptop not also on my PC.52Views0likes1Comment- BaeNdaHoody9 days agoSeasoned Novice45Views0likes2Comments
won't save new families
To summarize: I make a Sim, press the check mark to save and play, but it just stays on the screen above, where the check mark is grayed out from me clicking it. I can escape to go back to edit the Sim, but it does not save. I have deleted the cache, deleted mods, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and updated it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!GiddaBug9 days agoSeasoned Newcomer98Views1like4CommentsWeird pixel

I just got the business and hobbies pack and long story short. Every time my sim tattoos sims at the tattoo shop I created, my game crashes. I started testing all my mods doing the 50/50 test and sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldn’t. So there’s really no pinpoint on what mod is causing the issue. Everything works fine with no mods but again I can’t decipher which mod is causing the issue. It’s all not making sense!

ABOUT THIS TOPIC This topic covers mods and CC broken before patch 1.127 (August 25, 2026) that don’t have an update available. Not every broken mod out there is listed here. 18+ mods are NOT included AT ALL. Some mods/CC listed here may not get updates announced. That's because they or their creators fall under some of the other reasons that mods aren't listed in the "Updated" thread. Unsupported and obsolete gameplay mods ARE included. Obsolete mods should be deleted just just you do with broken mods. Mods/CC are listed here based on testing by me or a trusted tester. If I list a mod/CC based only on player reports, I'll say so. For some items in the lists, symptoms are given. For a symptoms-focused resource, see the Mod and CC Common Issues and Known Causes master post. REMEMBER: You can’t rely only on other people, including on only me, to know what’s broken in your Mods folder. And you also can't rely only on mod managers and similar tools. All of these options can miss some broken content. Learn how to test your mods. INDEX Gameplay Mods: Selected known issues Gameplay Mods: General categories. For example, "all holiday traditions from before July 2024" Gameplay Mods: by creator. Scroll down, or skip ahead by creator name: A to D E to K L to M N to R S T to Z CAS CC. Skins, body parts, hair, clothes, etc. Build/Buy CC. Furniture, walls, etc.67KViews3likes10CommentsGame Crashes Every Time I Use the Coffee or Tea Maker
My game crashes every time my sims use a coffee or tea maker small appliance. This has been an issue for a while in my game and I can't seem to figure out the cause. I have done the 50/50 method three separate times now, and just when I think I've dwindled it down to the CC culprit, as soon as I put back all my mods, it continues to crash. With the 50/50 method, I identified a Pandasama mod and BuildBuy items as "allegedly" causing the crashing. I removed those items, tested in the save again, and it didn't crash. But when I put back all my mods, it crashes again, even though while doing the 50/50 method the game did not crash while I'm testing each of the items separately. I don't know how else to troubleshoot for the crashing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! For the record, I play on a Mac with an Apple M2 Pro Chip, and it's on the macOS Tahoe Version 26.6.1. If you need any more information on my computer, I'd be happy to provide.AkennArt28 days agoSeasoned Scout478Views1like22Comments
