Dlc gone after updating to Ps5 from a Ps4
Ever since i got an Ps5 in 2023 and downloaded sims into it, it shows that i do not own half of the expansion/gamepacks i once did. They don’t even show up in licenses when i go to check? Though if i go back to Sims4 on my Ps4, all of my packs are still there, yet they don’t simply show up as owned on my Ps5. Would be really nice to be able to play with the packs i have spent hundreds of euros on.7Views0likes1CommentEA account not linking to Sims
Every time i log into Sims 4 on my Xbox, my gallery says I havent linked my EA account, even though ive gone back and unlinked it and linked it again and reset my consol, and when I go to game options and click link EA account it says Account Linked every time but it still doesnt work. Any help is gratefully appreciated!!Corrupt
Unfortunately since the update for Marketplace came out for console, my PS4 will not work for Sims 4. Many updates later and my game still doesn't work, it actually now says error code and doesn't turn on the game. I truly believe pushing Marketplace CC onto console was the worst decision ever. As CC & Mods aren't compatible for console to begin with. Whatever coding is in Marketplace isn't working. I haven't been able to play Sims since the first ever update when console got Marketplace. Truly disappointed especially with how many updates later and it still isn't working.SolvedBodacioustt4 days agoSeasoned Newcomer209Views4likes5CommentsTransfer issues between accounts

I’ve logged onto sims 4 after not using it for nearly a year and two of my packs have disappeared im not happy i either want a FULL refund or my packs back with something for free because I’ve never had any problems with sims 4 till now!Solved75mhnzmsbjwz7 days agoRising Newcomer85Views1like3CommentsMouse Select Button Lags
Since the 2.32 update, I have had issues using my mouse on Xbox. When I select something with the mouse, there will be a hesitation or lag before the item actually becomes selected. It happens virtually every time I try to pick an object or pick something for the Sim to do, I have to move the mouse around, wait a couple of seconds, and click a few times to make the mouse finally do its job. This didn't happen before the update. I tried a different mouse I had and it still happens.

Platform: PS4 and PS5 I’ve been experiencing multiple severe issues in The Sims 4 on both PS4 and PS5. These problems have been happening across different gameplay sessions and often force me to completely restart the game, causing me to lose progress. Create-a-Sim Issues: The camera frequently freezes and will not move around my Sim. I cannot properly rotate or zoom to view outfits. If I switch to a category such as nails, the camera remains stuck in that position instead of returning to a normal full-body view. This makes it difficult to create Sims and review clothing, makeup, and accessories. Gallery Issues: While browsing the Gallery and viewing Sims or builds, the game sometimes becomes completely unresponsive. The game loads pack information but then freezes. No buttons respond and I cannot exit the Gallery or open menus. The only solution is to close and restart the game. Build Mode Issues: The sledgehammer and sell tools randomly stop functioning. I hear the sound effect when deleting or selling objects, but nothing happens. Sometimes objects immediately reappear after I attempt to remove them. Leaving and re-entering Build Mode does not fix the issue. Gameplay and UI Issues: Controls such as L2 and R2 stop responding. Speed controls stop working. Menus become unresponsive. The game appears active but many functions no longer work. Saving and Loading Issues: Saving can become stuck indefinitely. Manage Worlds sometimes refuses to load. Loading screens continue for a long time without progressing. The music may stop, the loading animation may freeze, and the game never finishes loading. I often have to force close the game and lose unsaved progress. Visual Issues: Text occasionally appears blurry or distorted. Loading screen elements and logos sometimes appear visually glitched. These issues have occurred on both PS4 and PS5, which makes me think this may not be a console-specific problem. I wanted to report these bugs to see if other players are experiencing similar issues and to help the team investigate possible causes.69Views2likes1CommentConsole Control Input failure / UI Issues ( Xbox Series X )
Controls and Input Problems - Controller buttons randomly stop responding, especially the top triggers when switching between Sims in household or navigating menus. - Controller buttons randomly stop responding, especially the top triggers when switching between Sims or navigating menus. - Full input lockouts that appear to occur during certain pop‑up events. For example, when a Sim in the Naturopath career is heading to work, the pop‑up menu offering choices such as “Go to Work,” “Work From Home,” “See Clients at Home Lot,” or “PTO” appears. If the player is holding an item (like a plate or another object) at the moment the pop‑up triggers, the game can bug out and display the held item as the cursor. This locks all controller input completely, forcing a full restart or requiring the player to switch to mouse and keyboard to regain control. Gallery Malfunctions - Gallery becomes unresponsive at random, a long‑standing issue that often requires a full restart or switching input devices to regain control. UI and Action Queue Glitches - Actions getting stuck in the queue and refusing to clear even when cancelled. - New actions stacking on top of frozen ones, creating visual clutter and making the queue frustrating to look at.60Views0likes1CommentBug issues/graphic issues
I am experiencing three different bugs in my game. My Sims keep playing with the magic eight ball or clay randomly out of nowhere. If I play my game for about 30 minutes – one hour all the graphics go blurry and I have to reset my game so the graphics cannot be blurry and that can include household items or items in general and other world graphics and another thing that affects the graphics going from clear to blurry is if I travel to another world or a lot. 3. Another bug I’m experiencing is when my female sim tells a male sim that they are expecting a baby. The male Sim‘s mouth stays stuck in a weird frown like position and it’s like that for every Sim. also, after the last update with the one hundred and fifty bug fixes, I have been experiencing glitches and terrible lag in an animation in my game and my game crashes after 30 minutes to 45 minutes every time . I am a PlayStation/console player and was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing these bugs?Rbabee9810 days agoSeasoned Newcomer29Views1like1CommentExpansion pack swap??
I purchased the island living expansion pack years ago and only played it a few times but i had created and saved my mermaid sims to the gallery and they are still there so i know I'm not just going crazy when i say that the pack itself is gone and has been replaced by a different pack. When i check my purchase history i cannot find the expansion pack transaction and the pack has been replaced with jungle adventure in the list of owned packs and i know i would never have purchased jungle adventure because i find that specific pack boring and useless. I play on Xbox so i know i didn't get the pack form some subscription or whatever the internet keeps suggesting happened to my pack, I reached out to EA directly and nothing has come of it. This upsets me every time i go to play on my Xbox because that is where i have most of my expansion packs and the island living pack happened to be one of my favorites. I just want to know if there is any way to fix this without having to beg EA to do something about it.SolvedMapleTheRaptor10 days agoSeasoned Newcomer38Views0likes1CommentUnable to play. Fails to load
I am on PS5 and have all packs except the new Legacy/Royalty one. The game will not load any world at all. I have tried earlier saves but still nothing. I used to have to remove about 6 packs for the game to run but recently added them all back on in the hope that these new fixes have sorted the problem. It didn't. I literally cannot play It cannot be mods as I'm on PS5. Any help please? 🙏SolvedPandora_xplorer10 days agoSeasoned Newcomer96Views1like3CommentsNo Gallery Access PS5
So I want to start off by saying I am connected to the internet. However, when I open the gallery I don’t have access—I only have access to whatever is in my library. I went into options and I see that Auto Reconnect has a check mark beside it but Online Features Access isn’t even showing at all. My game is up to date. And my EA Account is linked (I've triple checked—plus I’ve been able to collect rewards from Lady Bridgestone’s Masquerade Ball event). So at this point I have no clue what to do. I have even restarted my system, turned it completely off and turned it back on again, made sure I have the most current update, disconnected from the internet and reconnected, etc. P.S.—I am not getting any kind of error code if that’s a thing for this kind of issueSolvedScreamiingMantis10 days agoSeasoned Newcomer76Views0likes3CommentsCATS AND DOGS PS5!
