Xbox, Sims 4, completely unplayable. Constant crashing.
Insert 12 pages of expletives. Call the EA team every insult that ever existed ever could exist. Angry violent threats. I just spent the last few hours since about 6:00 until about 12:30 working on a small house. A very realistic structurally sound, priest cottage. Prescott if you will. It look s really good and simple. I was putting the final touches on the building itself before I add the roof and then get to the landscaping. It was something that looked decent that I was happy with. Something I even considered starting a new character just for that it looks that good. I go to save it just in case, during the save immediately it crashed. And I lost all my work. So I'm a little bit more than pissed off. I am in shock I am in depression at this point. And it's your fault. You give people false hope false expectations false advertisement and it really insert 12 more pages of expletives, pisses me off. I haven't seen anyone do my level of work either on a console or a PC, ever. Some people get a little close but when you really look at it it's not even really. Let me give you examples. Do you know that the curtains that don't fit on the windows naturally there's a way to actually make them fit? Do you know you actually can build a house directly underwater? I've got tons of things that I've done that I've not seen anywhere else. Including bioluminescent characters The list goes on and on. So I am very very irritated. One of two things are going to happen. I'm going to post this everyday until someone answers and gives me a viable reasonable rational and logical solution so I won't ever have to go through it again. Or I'm going to tell you to expletive off and say the hell with it and then never again. I literally have almost every DLC and I wish I could have a refund at this point because it's completely not worth it if the game doesn't work. When you have your hopes crushed over and over. I'm a disabled vet and it's a little bit of enjoyment I thought I could have since I can't do things like this in real life anymore. The depression because of EA's BS makes me want to be just as destructive as the game is, just as destructive as EA. I am severely disappointed I literally can't think straight. It's one **bleep** thing after another with this **bleep** game. Lost after loss after loss for year after year after year. I don't think I can take it much longer. My abusive exes was less trouble. At least I could get something out of them. I would rather get into a fight with another five people, last time I did that I won at least. You can't win against this kind of b******* though I can't take it anymore man it's just not f****** worth it. Yes I already know your anti-American and anti-god. You don't care anything for the US Constitution. You honestly would do a favor to the rest of the world if you just close your **bleep** doors and your company goes bankrupt. We wouldn't miss you in general, we would adapt and overcome and those that you have done wrong would feel justified at least. I hear the stories all the time and it's been going on for over a decade. I don't know what hurts worse you hurting me or knowing that you hurt other people. Go bankrupt close your doors so someone was going to at least have closure. Do something different if he actually had good customer service and actually knew how to talk to customers without making them go through all this crap. That would be something different if you would actually respect your customers and put your money where your mouth is like giving them refunds. I think I'm going to tell you to f*** off because I don't care anymore you're not worth my soul. You can't be trusted to do anything right otherwise I wouldn't have to say all this, the same kind of things that everyone else has said that has had any trouble with you. Admittingly you know I'm actually being nice considering all things that can actually be done. I need to go and recollect my thoughts redirect we construct whatever. Thanks for the agony, deceit, manipulation and whatever whatever etc etc what a waste of my time and life. When you look at it for what it really is it shows that you're nothing but a demonic company. I really really really tried to find the good try again and again and again give you guys the benefit of the doubt over and over and over and I just I can't I've got nothing left except just barely to survive the next moment and I'd be damned if I want to give you that.14Views0likes0CommentsSaving error
I’ve deleted unwanted stuff from my gallery and deleted my three saved slots also deleted sims I don’t play with. My game still crashes every time I try to save, even if I try saving every few minutes it still crashes and doesn’t save my progress.roberthynha22 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer19Views1like1CommentXbox, multiple issues.
I was told to repost here. Working backwards from the latest issue. Graphics are horrible. It's getting hard to tell where one thing ends and another begins. Frequent crashing. It often takes two or three tries for the game to actually load. When it does finally load it crashes at random times. Doesn't seem to be anything specific. It seems to crash quicker and more frequent than it takes to actually load the game. Loading screens are no less than 5 minutes and so far on average almost 30 minutes. Going from one section to another is on average at least 2 minutes. Missing traits. I use and had one sim for a very long time now. At one point he almost had all the traits. Didn't realize they were gone until recently. I was wondering why he was acting weird. Using console commands to add them back doesn't work anymore. I have almost all the DLC. I have already tried multiple restarts and refreshes. The only thing that had seemed to work the first time I ran into this. Was to delete every lot that I wasn't living on and every Sim that I wasn't using. So A wasteland of a Sim game.12Views0likes0Commentsxbox live mode

I can't find the Growing Together bonus items in my game anymore (swing set and toddler slide). I looked through all possibly relevant categories in build mode and searched for them by name, but they're not there.lucombre2 days agoSeasoned Ace12Views0likes1CommentEverything is wrong
Ever since the last update, there's so much going wrong there's too much to list. The lagging, the Sims inventory items either can't pull out or can't use. Sims in University show they are doing their homework but nothing is showing for their homework book, they get stuck in some kind of cleaning where they won't stop until you reset the Sims. I've had my Sims automously break up even though their are soulmates and their relationship is maxed and amazing compatibility. The laundry doesn't work, they change their clothes and nothing shows up in the hampers, the washer and dryer never seem to work, constantly having to click wash or dry laundry over and over. These are just a few as I said before, there's a lot going on. I really hope they get a lot of this fixed because the game has just been completely unbearable to play and enjoy!24Views0likes1CommentSims 4 parent hood pack
I bought this pack ages ago and I went onto the game yesterday and I no longer have the pack it's very strange it's saying I don't have the pack and to pay for it again it's very frustrating when I paid for it and now it's asking me to pay for it again when I 100% paid for the pack16Views0likes1CommentGame freezes while choosing appliances for kitchen in build mode
I just started playing again after a year or two and started with a new game on my Xbox series x. For some reason, while I’m in build mode, the game completely freezes when I either select “appliances” from the general build menu or “stoves” in the objects by room menu. I looked on the known bugs and didn’t find this particular one. It’s odd because I can place other things as well— just not stoves! Odd! Any ideas?mescheib14 days agoSeasoned Newcomer17Views0likes1CommentCorrupted Save. Gallery deleted. Twice.
Ever since the update, my game has been completely unplayable. I logged in to a corrupted save file message. It deleted my entire gallery. I recovered an old save from a few days ago. Played for a few hours with constant bugs. Sims were taking forever to do one action. Infant sim completely bugged out. Couldn’t even click on him. Parents stuck in a T pose every time they interacted with him. Game stops and freezes randomly. My files got corrupted and my entire gallery got deleted twice in less than 4 hours.MeSammi58 days agoSeasoned Newcomer35Views0likes1CommentVacation Option Gone From Phones and Computers
After I purchased Adventure Awaits, I lost all access to the vacation worlds. I can’t plan a vacation either from the phone or the computer on all saves. The only options I have now are: Travel, Volunteer, Split From Household, Move Household, Plan a Fitness Retreat, Plan a Getaway, Plan a Romantic Competition and Plan an Outdoor Kids Camp for phone. On computer the only options I have are: Buy a Vet Clinic, Buy a Retail Store, Buy a Restaurant, Buy a Residential Rental, Volunteer Activities, Move Household, Split From Household and Move, Adopt, Start Will, Sell Horse, Plan a Getaway, Plan Funeral, Have Science Baby With…, Have Science Baby as Single Parent, Hire a Service, and Place Ad for Roommates. Absolutely no vacation option anywhere.Maple4206910 days agoNew Novice40Views0likes3Comments[READ FIRST] Console Troubleshooting Guide and Known Issues (Patch 2.23)

I’m on Xbox and have had this issue for a while but recently it’s been happening more and more often. When I close BB mode, the panel at the bottom with all of your sims info, traits, needs, etc. disappears completely and there is no way to get it back. I have to completely reload the game. When I do try to go to main menu, the screen goes white and just plays the loading music on a loop so I have to then close the entire game to play again… kind of annoying when it comes to playing rags to riches, having children and having to redo their rooms when they age, or wanting to just change a few things every now and then.kerryadmas13 days agoRising Newcomer17Views0likes1CommentMy Get to Work pack is showing not available.
I had to repurchase my Get to Work pack after my husband stopped Game Pass Ultimate. I Uninstalled and reinstalled and it wont Work. I've Uninstalled sims 4 entirely and reinstalled it still doesn't show as available. I've restarted my Xbox multiple times and cleared all data for sims4 and all packs but Get to Work Work. What do I do?18Views0likes1CommentMy sims isn’t working & I don’t know how to fix it!
First all of, I would like to say that my Sims game has multiple issues & I don’t know how to fix it! My sims save isn’t working correctly & it’s starting to frustrate me because i probably won’t be able to finish the event on time. Btw I play on console & have almost all the packs. So when I load into my save file, it takes me to the last sim I played. Her name is Karla, so I spawn in on Karla but when I switch to go play another sim in the household the camera becomes glitched & stays focused on Karla even though by now I’ve already cycled through the entire household & the camera still hasn’t switched to their POV yet. I can’t do any actions because it takes like 30 seconds to a minute for them to pop up. Then when I pause the game, the game is still playing for like 1-3 IRL minutes then it pauses itself, & when I unpause it to start playing it again, it stays paused. I can’t do no actions, & it’s not switching to the selected sims pov. Recently I uninstalled everything & reinstalled it & it’s still doing this. Also, when I tried loading into the game for the second time yesterday, it stopped me saying I don’t have 23 packs installed & continuing further would get rid of it & change my save, but when I checked PlayStation & I do have all the packs I own installed. I also tried going to PlayStation store to verify that they were installed & it kept giving me an error code message saying “something was wrong”. I don’t know what to do, & since I’m having so many problems with the game it’s hard to really find an answer to all these issues. And before this problem happened my game crashed three times beforehand. Problems: Camera POV not switching to selected sims, Game lagging & not showing actions categories right away, has all the packs installed but it’s saying I don’t, & Issues with gameplay playback controls.53Views0likes1CommentGalley error
Game does not allow me to overwrite or save as new builds that are already saved in my gallery. Of course the newer version of these builds are different especially interior wise but the game just won't allow it. And this also hinders the ability to upload it the public gallery. Examples. I uploaded a penthouse to my public gallery then immediately removed it so I can change the description then tried to upload it again and got the error. I then put it onto a lot and tried to upload it that way but was blocked from overwriting + saving as new which then blocks it from being uploaded to my public profile. I have a build saved to my gallery that I knew I decorated more in one of my saves so I went to it and tried to save it but once again wasnt able to overwrite or save as new. choosing either option again also blocked me from uploading it publicly. I then tried to upload the one already in my gallery and was blocked with that one too. Another build that I wanted to upload but the one already in my gallery was taken at night and I wanted it to have morning pictures so I put down the lot, added a few more things and tried to just upload it straight to the public gallery but was made to choose if I wanted to rewrite or save new . I chose save new which earned me a gallery error again. But this time I was able to just upload the one already in my gallery.VaeHoneybun21 days agoRising Rookie25Views1like1CommentSettings Reseting
Does anyone know when the issue of settings getting reset every time you load on is going to be solved as this has been a thing for months and still on going, the only way around it is to start sims with your console not connected to the internet if you dont want your settings to be reset31Views0likes1CommentNo results found on Gallery
Having the same issue. Whenever I try and search on the gallery nothing shows up and I get the “no results found” message. When I view player profiles it has the “this player has not shared any items” message. And checking their catalog shows the “no results found” message. Very frustrating.BreMarie0526 days agoSeasoned Newcomer54Views1like1CommentPossible bug
I play sims 4 on PlayStation and every time I go on create a sim or when I play the actual game.its just really annoying that it’s zoomed in so I can’t interact with certain icons like the search bar when I’m building or the icons at the bottom that shows my inventory and relationshipsMilly_gamerxo28 days agoRising Newcomer41Views0likes1CommentGame looks dull and colors have changed
I FIXED IT!! had to go to manage game and turn off auto HDR was on my Xbox last night and the colors looked fine. I get on today and it’s so grey and dull. I reset my tv setting to be normal but the sims game just looks so bad. My Xbox Home Screen looks normal. The pictures aren’t doing it justice because the phone camera makes it look brighter. When I screen shot it on captures it shows up just like it should look. The needs bars are almost orange and light greenHeyhellowhateva29 days agoRising Novice27Views0likes0Comments
