Tired of Crashing
I’ve been playing one of the scenario games, the Nova Curious scenario. And it’s been great, running smooth. Really nice house, promotions. Once she had those things established I decided to try out the adopt feature so she could venture out. Worst decision ever. Ever since I adopted the infant; constant freezing, constant crashing, just so many issues. I don’t know if I’m the only one whose having issues with their world since adopting a child but whatever bug this is, in this feature… needs fixed because I can’t even play this world anymore at all..
Lovestruck still broken. Dnt recommended for Console Users
I purchased love struck yesterday on Xbox series X.. I have probably have 85% of packs installed. After installing lovestruck yesterday my sims became unplayable. It just consistently crashed/freezing up. I tried hard resetting Xbox and uninstalling/reinstalling. Still the problem consisted. The last thing to try was to uninstall LoveStruck DLC… And now my game is back to normal but I wasted 40$. Why dosent ea have people to test the dlc? I mean real sim players on all platforms😒betas or something.. Requesting a refund now
Xbox keeps crashing continually after Lovestruck install
Been playing on and off but since love struck came out but it keeps force closing it's so unpredictable when it will happen. I have cleared cache and the problem is still persistent. I just wanna explore the expansion pack but unable to its unplayable. Any ideas? For context I have did the power button cache clean and also the option via settings to clear it still force closing....
All my saved datas has been deleted.
Hello everyone, Iyesterday I played the sims and saved. Today when I started the game the whole game I level I reached has disappeared. As if I have never played it before. The whole characters and buildings. (I play on the PlayStation 4) I restarted the game many times and it still the same. Is there any bug in the game actually? Is there any possibility to restore it? Could anyone help me please?Game acting as if new
I keep loading my game on my older Xbox One S and it keeps loading as if it's new, I have to restart the game to get my saves and even the shop to load. I reinstalled ALL packs I own plus Base Game and started it up AFTER shutting down my Xbox for half an hour. The game already takes minutes to load on my Xbox and now I have to double load it in order to even play it. It also resets all my personalized settings like adding the button mapping and help tips I've turned off I have to turn them off every time I load the game. This last time it crashed before I could reload it after it loaded as if I've never played it and I've had it installed since it was put on EA Play for free years ago.
Packs
I play sims on my Xbox 1 series x and I have alot of packs bought. When I go to manage game and add ons it shows all the packs which I have bought but in the actual game it only shows a few of them and it doesn't acknowledge that I have bought other ones. I have factory reset my Xbox and i don't have any other accounts just this one and I don't know what to do.
PS5 - selection too fast
Usually when selecting social interaction or action command, or purchase it's fine. Every once and a while, I feel like I click something that makes the selection way too fast. Let's say you want to select Kiss; when you go to highlight the command, it is extremely hard to get the cursor to high light the desired command because it's zipping around. I feel like it's on me, like I did something similar to accidently selecting "Sticky Keys" on the keyboard. Sometimes I can correct it, by selecting either live or build (depending on where it's doing it), but other times I have to save and quit (which in itself, the too fast to select thing makes a challenge) and reboot the PS5 to get it to stop. A. Does anyone have any idea what I did to cause this? B. Is there away to fix it, without rebooting the game/PS5.
All saves going to autosave and keeps going back to a previous save.
So last night, my game broke. All my saves were saving as autosave and I couldn’t make a new save and rename it. When opening any save, the game would keep going back to the same day and time. I never found a solution for this and I know others have had the same issue. The only way I’ve found a solution for this is to save absolutely everything from your game(households, houses and buildings) to your gallery and start a new game and then place everything exactly as it was. I get this will be super annoying to you all but it’s the only work around I’ve found so I can play my game again. I’m now able to save different save files and play as normal. Just bear in mind that you will lose relationships with sims that you have previously interacted with apart from household sims and there will be new game quests. I really do hope there is another solution to get this solved for the rest of you but for me, I’ve just gone ahead and done this and deleted all my older save files. I can’t help but think something corrupted my save?
Xbox One lost content
My kid has been spending their Allowance since this game first came out. They have spent hours, upon hours, upon hours and so much of their own money, to buy 63 dlc packs. Almost every big pack there was until the most recent. They only had a few left to purchase. They were going back on to get back into the game and had planned on purchasing the rest of the collection. Everything is gone and they are devastated and frustrated beyond belief. The Sims has been a big source of their joy and a big part of their life, as they doesn't get out much. It might seem like just a game and no big deal, to most people, but they devotes a ton of time to all the intricate details and designs incredible buildings. A year before 2020 they became partly agoraphobic. The Sims is what kept them occupied and happy. Please tell me that there is someway to fix this. It's horrible enough that all their work has been lost, but to lose all the packs and content too, it's too much. We were really looking forward to watching them play the Halloween pack on Halloween. It's been something they have been looking forward to purchasing.
Sims not saving as of 21st August 2024 xbox series x
All my save slots changed to autosave and goes back to the last time it saved which was 21st August, I keep trying but it never saves. Ive lost game play so there is no point in playing at all until this bug is fixed. Ive tried offline still the same. Cleared cache etc nothing helps. I have every pack. I am really upset i have played sims 4 since the start and never had this happen before.
New Content Installed
I recently started experiencing this, and haven't been able to enjoy a game without it freezing my Playthrough and popping up. Constantly. I have restarted my router and that gave me just a one day fix, uninstalled the sims and reinstalled it, turned off my power block and turned it back on. Nothing. It's still happening. It has also being disconnecting my Xbox Live and saying it has something to do with my internet but I checked my internet connection, and nothing is out of place? I'm getting fed up with this and just want to enjoy my game again without this happening every minute I'm on.
[Resolved] Game Renews on Each Start (Xbox One)
I just installed the Sims 4 on my new (for me) Xbox One. However, every time I run the game, it acts like I'm opening the game for the first time (has me accept the terms, adjust screen, tutorials are reset). My save game remains, however. Any idea what's going on? Update: The issue resolved itself. I believe it may have been a result of my saving and existing to the main menu before closing the game once.
Game is unplayable
Hi so I play the sims 4 on Xbox series x and it’s been fine up until two days ago. I was updating my sims house and I had almost finished when suddenly I hear a buzzing noise and then the screen went black then dashboarded me to Xbox Home Screen. Every time I’ve tried to play it the same thing happens when I’ve selected what family I want to play! It’s unplayable and I have all the dlc so mad that I can’t play. This needs fixing asap! I’m bedridden and this keeps me sane. Please get this sorted!!!Love struck has ruined my game (XBOX)
I downloaded lovestruck midway through a family I’ve been playing (sent the daughter to uni and then bought lovestruck) (also want to add I use cheats, NOT MODS), and now my sim goes invisible, the interaction system is invisible, my sim keeps repeating the ‘celebrate celebrity’ action because her mum is a global superstar level, I can’t even access the cheat interaction system because it’s also invisible, I can’t reset my sim. My game has gotten extremely slow and laggy and I just really want to save this without having wasted my money or have to delete all of my saves, if anyone can help or needs more detail PLEASE ASK. I just want to fix this, EA do better when releasing a packI don't know what to do...
Hi, I'm new here but I've been playing The Sims for a long time. I've been looking for posts or anything relating to my situation but I've not found anything to hit the nail right on the head so I figured I'd just write my own and vent my frustrations. I've been seeing that a lot of people have been having major issues after the latest update, but none of them have completely aligned to what's happening in my game. I'm really busy so I don't get a lot of time to play games anymore, well imagine my disappointment when I get on my PS5 to play The Sims 4 today and I pretty much can't do a lot. I can't go into build mode without it completely breaking the game, I'll try to build a room or even rearrange the furniture and it works for the first few things then completely stops working, I'll try to move something and it will just disappear but the game still says it's there. Going back to live mode doesnt fix it, it actually breaks more, it will stay paused and wont let me pick any sims or do any actions. When i go to manually change the speed it does nothing. I can't save either, it takes forever, I'm typing this out waiting on my game to load. I've restarted the game multiple times. I've restarted my PS5 multiple times. I'm just frustrated because I just played this earlier this week and it was fine!!! Can anyone help me please!Residential Worlds Map
Does anyone else have 2 Evergreen Harbors? I have two on my map, one that is fully functional, everything works. And one that has nothing on it, you can’t even visit the residential lots. My game has been like this for about a year. Each update Im always looking to see if they’ll catch it & remove it. 😂
Sims still being mean for no reason, destroying good relationships from the jump
(I play on PS5) I've never posted here, I'm just hoping someone from EA sees this. I read the whole list about the new update, including how it should put a stop to Sims being mean to each other out of nowhere. Nope. My teen sim (not going thru a mean streak, no mean trait) just got a girlfriend. They're crazy for each other, they kiss and mess around then he goes insulting her, diminishing their friendship and relationship level right before my eyes. AND I have autonomy for selected sim turned off, but that hardly seems to work for anything anyway. I'm in multiple Sims 4 groups on Facebook and since the updates late July, I'm seeing complaints left right and center about things like what I'm saying here and other bugs, maaaany of them claiming the game to be basically "unplayable" right now. I think I'm gonna put the game down myself for a little until this gets fixed bc I'm trying to build happy relationships for my Sims and bugs or whatever AI function is sabotaging that for no reason. 😂 I am supposed the be the one in control, am I not?! Isn't that the point of simulation games in general? Please look into this! ALSO, love the lash extensions but they're obstructing view in first person mode. Oops. Guessing they forgot to check that part. If anyone from EA sees this and cares, I'd be more than happy to voice some of the other issues my fellow Sims group members are complaining about. Until then, won't waste my time in an echo chamber.PS4 Wonderland
Sometimes my game will save - sometimes it's Error Code 0. I always start a new save and never have more than 3 saves going at a time. The visual quality of the game has been so random. Sometimes its fine for 5 or 10 minutes, but then degrades into blobs of color - such that you can't see wall art at all - that sort of thing. Other times the game is fine for hours. Sometimes restarting the game resets the "timer" on visual quality... sometimes it loads already screwed up. It used to be that the game would crash when traveling about half the time. But if it was going to crash it usually did so before the world select screen. Recently, I've made it to the world select screen and the game only crashes once I choose a destination. Sometimes I make it to where I am going - but usually only after several tries. The game will randomly stop. It isn't frozen, and time keeps moving, but all the Sims will just stand still for a minute or two. When this breaks, any actions they had in que vanish. This seems to happen a lot just before a holiday pops up - but that isn't always the case. Randomly, sleepy sims will get into bed - fast cycle their "sleep" - and pop instantly back out of bed without actually fulfilling their need. It takes several tries to get them to stay in bed and actually sleep. This also happens with sims and toilets. They will pop on and off the toilets and it takes several tries to actually empty their bladder.Can‘t download my Packs on the PS5
I wanted to play sims4 on the PS5 and logged in with my Account, where I bought lota of Packa over the years. But I can‘t download them, it says that I don‘t own it. I‘m sure that it is the correct Account because I just checked on my Laptop. When I open one of the Packs I only have the Option to buy it. What could be the problem and how can I solve it?Sims 4 PS4 saves disappeared
I'm playing on playstation 4 and for some reason my Save file disappeared, I have never seen this before, I played everyday this week and the only day it keeps saving is August 12. I even try making a new save but it disappeared and I can't even repair it because I don't have that option on playstation 4. Is there anything I can do the next time I make a new save?Error code 0 PS4
I just had a similar problem but wasn't sure where to post it... For the first time in memory my game failed to save. It said "Error message o". Then when I tried to save again... my previous save file had vanished... which made my heart skip a beat... I created a new save which seems to have worked. If I had lost all previously saved progress I would have been devastated!! Scary glitch!! I've also noticed frozen (non-responsive) Sims more frequently. I have to use the "reset object" cheat almost constantly, now. Traveling crashes the game 50% of the time - but that's been an issue since day one, nothing new there. (PS4 gamer here)City Living Crashing Xbox X/S
Hi Everyone, recently bought the city living pack & i cant enter the city, or press property . Thought i can use the build items which is great. I uninstalled it & reinstalled it and it’s still giving me issues. Not sure what else to do especially since it’s an old pack.Save Files Gone
I'm playing on playstation 4 and for some reason my Save file disappeared, I have never seen this before, I played everyday this week and the only day it keeps saving is August 12. I even try making a new save but it disappeared and I can't even fix it because I don't have that option on playstation 4. Is there anything I can do the next time I make a new save?Update possibly broke my game (xbox)
To begin with after the lovestruck update I had noticed going into build mode was unbearably laggy which was fixed by opening the menu. However, yesterday (around 6:30 - 7 Pm) my game had updated, it wasn’t the lovestruck but I guess some sort of technical update. The first issue was I had aged up my sims infant and it ended up doing this weird thing where it went backward to the day before (if that makes sense?). The next issue was that my sims would be completely stuck still and wont respond to any action. Not surprising since I had that issue with the sims 3 however would be a but inconvenient turning on cheats and not being able to get achievements on this certain game. My last issue (bear with me here it’s really hard to explain without seeing it first hand) my game will get stuck trying to switch between sims. It also results in the pause and play glitching as well, and will also cause all the sims the get stuck. My only fix to this is just leaving and reloading. And when I exit my game gets stuck on the loading screen. Sorry for the essay but any input would be awesome!Code error 0
Hey guys ! I’m a ps4 gamer here and I got the code error 0 when I’m trying to save my game and I only can save through exiting the world. i already tried : the neighborhood stories fix by disabling join a career Delete my old saves in my ps4 storage and online storage If anyone got a solution :(Can’t access City Living
I’ve just updated my game, and all content from city living is gone. I play on PS5, have no mods or anything. The game crashed as I was playing it, closed the game down, and it says unable to access content, it says on the sims app I own the content, but my ps says I have to repurchase it!Glitches | Crashes | No Interactive Play
I posted about a week ago that I could not log into my game at all. Well after finally being able to log in I tried starting a whole new game after uninstalling and reinstalling - I did save my previous household (which actually kept my skills, and household funds). Well I was finally able to start the gameplay and it’s still so messed up, I have 2 sims sitting on the same chair - super glitch, and 2 other sims unable to move at all. They are just stuck 😩.. have we gotten any feedback from EA when we can actually play the game? It’s been well over a week and the whole game is just broken. - PS this is on Xbox console.2024 July update
Since the new update in July I can't save my game to existing savegames, either it says save but it doesn't save or I get an "error code: 0" message. I can only save if I create a new save but cannot overwrite my previous one. So please fix the problem, it's quite annoying and stop putting broken updates online. I play on the PS5 and have no mods or CC, the error first appeared on July 24th, 2024 around 7 p.m. my username is Toffifee_x13 and I already tried by starting the game again or the ps5 and it changed nothing the problem is still there.Sims 4 Crashes July 2024
I’ve just recently started back playing sims 4 after about a year, - I have Xbox console. All was going well and now I’ve had to constantly reboot, I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have all expansions besides “growing together”, and I did install the new “lovestruck” the other day. I have kits and packs I have tried uninstalling all of them. I cannot play it due to constant crashing. I cannot build, or do game play. I have tried saving multiple different games, I’ve deleted old saved games, I uninstalled all add ons, nothing seems to be working.. super frustrating and a waste of money at this point. ps.. starting today at 2pm est I have now been unable to log on at all or get past the log in screen. It syncs then just stays on the front screen circlingI cannot load a specific save on my Ps5 edition.
I’ve been trying for a couple days to get a specific save to load off of my PS5 Sims 4 edition. I have gotten two other loads to play, but just not the specific one I want to actually play. I have restored licenses four times, I have restarted my PS5 countless times and I have even deleted the Sims 4 and re-downloaded it. I also tried instead of using autosave to load, I used the last manual save I made. For about a week, I have been having problems with loading in, but I was able to shut down the game, restart the ps5 and do it again. Probably did that once or twice every session. Now it just straight up won’t load at all. Last time I played, all of my sims were frozen in place and resetsim was not working. It gets stuck at a specific spot in the load screen (see picture). A couple days ago, I did buy the spa day pack and then there was a giant update after I downloaded that for more context. Not sure if that’s a coincidence or if the new update was causing issues? Maybe it’s because the save is a legacy and there’s just too much stuff going on for the game to handle? There are other things I have tried to do in the actual game using a couple of different sims to get their way into the build at least and try to “switch control to” the other household. TL;DR I have exhausted all efforts known to myself that would work to get a specific save to load. Seeking out other options, people who have had this issue, or for EA to step in and fix the game.Unable to select tabs and can’t save
I have recently started having issues 7/26/2024 after the updates and downloading the new lovestruck pack. My cursor sometimes disappears or when I try to select any of the tabs at the bottom or top of the screen (build mode tab, needs tabs, relationship tab, etc) it doesn’t work. If I go to quit and save the game that won’t work either. I have no other choice but to force quit the game. I play on the PS5 and I have turned my console off multiple times to see if that would fix the issue but no. It has been going on for a few days now. It mainly happens when I’m playing a household with a teen in it. I have another save that just has one household with two adult sims and hardly any issues there. However, my main save is just about unplayable because of this issue. I have to constantly save every 3 minutes so I don’t lose any progress before it starts to act up and have to force quit the game and lose any progress.
my sims game keeps bugging after latest update
i have a sims world with 4 played households, and i don’t want to just start a new world. i load into the game, make a few interactions, i try to cook, and then the game just bugs. i can’t pull up the cheat bar to reset sims, i can’t pull up the save menu, my cursor disappears, and i can’t go to manage worlds, when i click manage world the screen just goes black and i’m forced to close the application. i along with help from EA chat support have tried troubleshooting this issue, and nothing seems to work. this all started with the new update.
Game absolutely destroyed from new patch?
I play on console (ps4) meaning I use no mods or cc, so I know that’s not the problem. However, my game is completely broken. I downloaded the lovestruck expansion pack on the day of release (Thursday) and the game ran everything completely fine, I faced no issues while playing on Thursday. However when I tried to play yesterday (Friday) it was useless. Here are the errors I faced: Game crashing after almost every loading screen (like 90%, so can’t load the game most times or travel), the cursor being seemingly useless (clicking things and nothing happens), sims not moving or doing anything even when instructed, cursor completely invisible, screen going black except the stuff at the bottom (like the sim’s portrait and the time and stuff), not able to open the menus at the bottom of screen eg. to see needs, clubs, career, game crashing during cas/cas in general being unusable, and also some small visual bugs that aren’t really serious but still thought I’d add just in case. To be honest I’m just annoyed that even after all the patches the game is completely unplayable and broken, especially as I have never used mods, no viruses, no nothing: the problem is definitely the game just being broken. Please add fixes for console players! I spent £35 on the new pack and only got like 2 hours use of it before the game basically self destructed on me.Game issues since installing Lovestruck expansion pack (XBox)
Hoping someone can help me resolve the issues I’m dealing with since installing Lovestruck. My sims can no longer pay their bills. I receive a notification of the amount due but if I try to click on the mailbox or pay through the phone there is no option. My sims also keep disappearing. I can still control them but they’re invisible. I keep resetting them which works for a while until it ultimately happens again. The last issue I’m running into is the dating system is broken. Anytime I try to initiate a date or interact with someone I don’t know I’m unable to access the full social menu. The only options I have are to tell a group story or give a funny gift. This happened all of a sudden for sims I have a relationship with and also strangers. I’ve tried restarting my game multiple times and uninstalling/ reinstalling the pack and nothing has changed. I’m playing on XBox so I’m not sure if there’s anything else I can try. Thanks in advance!
Unable to save my game
Since the latest update (1.95) I can't open the menu with 3 dots or with ECS therfore I'm anable to save my game or even exit it in a normal way. I have to close my game with task manger and all my progress is gone. Without being able to save my game what is the point of playing? 😭 Also during playing the game (which I cound't save) I noticed that my sims all of the sudden are being mean to each other even though the are in good moods. It's weird and it destroys their relationships which isin't alligned with my intentions. 🤨
July 2024 Update for Lovestruck has broken me!
I am an xbox next gen user and I own all packs apart from the new lovestruck, rental, dust bunny and castle estate pack. This new update has broken my sims totally my cursor keeps disappearing and I can't bring up the main menu screen to save it so I have to restart which makes me lose my game play, meaning I have to save every literally every 5 mins, of course I sometimes forget and lose game play, I shouldn't have to be having to do this. PLEASE PLEASE fix this!! its driving me crazy.
