UI and sim freeze
I don´t know what to do anymore. I started having this problem a little over a month ago. My sim started to freeze. She stood still and only "breathed". My UI also started to lag. It took a couple of seconds before the mouse registered that I was hoovering over something I could press. Also changing the speed took a couple seconds before actually registering. When going from speed 3 to 1, the time would jump back around 10 seconds. It would also jump forward 10 seconds when pressing 3. I tried to reset my sim, but this also took a couple of seconds before it actually did that, and then she would just stand in t-pose, and I still couldn´t make her do anything. Going to build buy, pressing esc, going to manage world etc. doesn´t help. If I go to manage worlds and go back in, the lag is gone for maybe 2-3 seconds before starting again. Everything else, like camera movement and when a menu pops up after a couple minutes after pressing, works fine. The world around, like trees, water etc. also behaves normal. It happens to all sims on my lot though. This only happened two times during gen 1. However, now I´m on gen 2 and it happens almost everyday. It first happened around 9am-12pm (it lasts almost always 3 in game hours), but then it changed. My sim was talking on the phone, and I had queued up for my sim to travel to space. The game froze and I pressed cancel on the "travel to space" action that was in his queue (it still doesn´t disappear until the game unfreeze) and after three in game hours, the freezing stopped. At that point I got a phonecall, a university pop up, a pop up from school all at the same time. I also got a notification saying that my sim came home from space intact, even though he hadn´t even been yet!! No Crash text och Last exception gets created when this happens, my cpu etc. are normal when it happens aswell. I removed all mods except for mccc, Better build buy, and my CC, and it seemed to have disappeared. I started doing the 50/50 method and thought I had figured it out, but then it happened again after maybe a week in game. I tried reparing the game aswell. I tried playing in a new save for maybe 1 in game week and nothing happened, but because it happens so sporatically it´s difficult to test it out. I dont know what to do about this, and I´m wondering if anyone know if there´s a certain mod that can affect the game like this, or any mods that are conflicting. Mods I use: mccc and woohoo, Basemental, RPO, Better build buy and TOOL, Littlemssam autostart washer and dryer, Sims4me call and visit tweak complete. Lumpinou´s view other sim family tree, dynamic teen life, and some utility mods for others to work. They are up to date and correctly installed. It started to happen before I installed RPO and Dynamic teen life, but added them just in case. Thanks to anyone that can help!!
Previously working .package files prevent launch after July 21st patch
After updating, my game no longer reliably launches with my existing cc collection. It worked immediately before updating. Regular .package files would cause the game to not launch or give me an error when trying to launch the game. A good chunk of my mods folder was effected. I could uninstall the game or start with a new mods folder and have my game launch with my mods, then suddenly the same ones will cause the game to crash when launching again. The game will either give an error stating that required game data is missing or damaged, or the game silently exits before any game window appears. It launches fine with no mods and with script mods. Always deleted localthumbcache and have my mods up to date. I have a very large mods folder, never had any issues like this before (57 gb). For one affected hair, I downloaded a fresh copy from the creator. The fresh copy launched successfully when tested alone, while my previous copy still caused the launch failure. I redownloaded a whole folder of cc that was giving me an error, and then another folder that was fine before started crashing. Everything was working perfectly before this update and I haven't been able to play since updating. From what I can tell this is mostly hair and clothing cc. I've tried repairing, uninstalling, new mods folder, etc. Steps to reproduce Generate a fresh The Sims 4 user folder. Launch successfully without Mods. Enable Custom Content and Mods, then close the game. Place one affected CAS .package file in the generated Mods folder. Confirm that the Mods folder contains only Resource.cfg and the one package. Delete localthumbcache.package. Attempt to launch the game. Packs All besides bust the dust & batuu System information Platform: Windows PC Game version: Latest Launcher: EA app
Game Crashes when purchasing certain CC From mannequins
When using "Get to Work", I like to have my sims go shopping for fancy costumes (CC) on retail lots. For the most part, it seems to work. But now, certain CC costumes cause my game to crash when a sim purchases them. To be more specific, it's mainly the "Super Mario brothers" costumes. It doesn't crash when I purchase the Peach costume, and I haven't tried the Waluigi costume yet, but the others cause my game to crash. Sure, I can probably still apply them in CAS, but the game crashes when I purchase them from mannequins. I know, historically, EA has said they are not responsible for glitches caused by mods, but now they've teamed up with Overwolf, and they recently released a patch that fixes visual glitches with CC. So, I would think they care about this now.
Game is glitched/won't load after installing a script mod.
Yesterday I installed adult mod to try it out after seeing the reviews on it's good quality and compatibility with the base game. At first things seemed okay until actions would cancel themselves almost immediately after starting (both for my own sim and other townies). I exited the game and as soon as I tried loading back in it sent me to the map selection with two glitching squares in the bottom corner, then pressing play on my existing household caused the game to crash. I decided to delete the mod and repair the game and the same thing happened. Then I decided to load a new game to see if that could change anything but it would pause on the loading screen when I pressed play on a new household. I tried restarting both my computer and the EA app but nothing seems to be working. Is there any way this can be fixed?
Last Exception Error
Can someone glean more information from this last error I keep getting: Possible cause (100%): resolver Reason: Exception when applying action <StatisticChangeOp <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.commodity_Object_BubbleBlower_CartridgeCharges'> ParticipantType.Object> for loot Loot_Commodity_Sim_BubbleBlowerEffectiveness(loot_actions=(<StatisticChangeOp <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.commodity_Sim_BubbleBlowerEffectiveness'> ParticipantType.Actor>, <StatisticChangeOp <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.commodity_Sim_BubbleBlowerEffectiveness'> ParticipantType.Actor>, <StatisticChangeOp <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.commodity_Object_BubbleBlower_CartridgeCharges'> ParticipantType.Object>), run_test_first=False, tests=CompoundTestList([])) (ValueError: Trying to use SingleSimResolver with unsupported participant: ParticipantType.Object) It does it as soon as my game loads up and then it even comes up once or twice longer while I am playing. I have adult mod, which is the only mod I think may interact with the bubble blower. Any other insights?
Cas tags cause game to freeze and not respond
I've downloaded a lot of custom content, but they're a problem. Every time I try to use the CAS tags in the game and scroll down, it freezes a game and gets stuck on not responding for a long time. I tried repair the game, clearing the cache files, but nothing works, and I have to task close my game through task manager
Anyone elses game not launching?
Sims 4 app isn’t launching from EA and i’m unsure why or what to do. it did this afew weeks ago, i wasn’t able to play for about a week and then it went back to normal but i never figured out what it was, deleting the app and redownloading it didn’t seem to work either. i do have mods and cc downloaded and was wondering if theres a broken one somewhere? but i’m not sure how to find it. any help would be SO appreciated, thank you! 🙏🏼 (i’m on a mac btw)
I am not even sure...
After the update, I went through my usual process of revamping my game... Except when I placed twin beds, they disappeared. So, I did my usual 50/50 method and repaired the game... Except I left my mods folder in when I repaired the game, so I had to redownload everything... And now my female sims just... Don't have faces 😅. I've once again gone through my mods, but I'm not really sure what could be causing this... My game has been updated and repaired; I've done the50/50 method, the vanilla method, created a new folder... An am stumped... Please help!
Sims can’t marry/ elope/ can’t change CAS relationship
Weddings/ marriage doesn’t work at all. When using the arch, the wedding music starts playing but sims won’t exchange vows. Same with eloping, music starts playing, but they do absolutely nothing. I tried to make them married in CAS, but spouse option is not visible. In fact, no other relationship option is visible besides the current one (engaged) and household mates. I tried with and without MODS, the relationship is basically broken, I can’t get my sims married, I can’t change their relationship status in CAS.
A New Update Checker for The Sims 4
I recently finished a small project called Mod Update Checker, or MUC. The goal is to make update notifications easier for both players and mod creators. Mods that support MUC provide their current version, which is then compared locally with a central public registry. If an update is available, the player receives a clear notification with the creator’s official update page. The list of currently compatible mods can be viewed here: http://muc-registry.demeterio.cc/registry/ MUC does not search through the Mods folder, send a list of installed mods, or download updates on the player’s behalf. It is also important to mention that MUC is not useful on its own. Players only need to install it when a mod creator has specifically added MUC support. I would be happy to hear any feedback, particularly from modders who are curious about the integration process or would like to test it with one of their projects.

I've been getting Last Exception caught by MCCC and better exception errors after i load into some lots on my Sims 4. The report doesn't list any broken mods or cc and it doesn't go away even when I've removed all my mods and cc and I've cleared the cache, I still get the error.Unable to launch game
So, I have this issue with my game: The game won’t **bleep** launch. The first time it happened was probably a year ago. The thing is that the EA app opens but the game doesn’t. I’ve tried everything; reinstalling the game, repairing the game, testing the mods, making sure I’m online, etc. The only thing that worked was renaming the TS4 folder and starting from the very beginning, but the thing is that it happens after every goddamn update. I’m done, guys. This is literally me -> I lowkey forgot to mention I play on Mac. Someone pls help me or I’ll lose my mind, thanks.
