Any photos taken with the phone or camera?Are turning black
I've noticed ever since the most recent 2 patches. Any photos I've taken with the phone or a camera. Are turning black. I've had this issue in the past, but it was resolved, but I noticed it has since returned ever since the most recent 2 patches. I can no longer take photos because they turn black. I play on xbox one, so I have no mods or custom content.ShadowPanda07025 minutes agoSeasoned Rookie0Views0likes0CommentsGame packs
Hey guys so I got the update on my ps5 it kicked 11 packs I have and they aren’t showing up anymore. I tried deleting the whole game and redownloaded all the packs and the 11 still aren’t showing up in my game at all. It says installed everywhere and I can’t download it from my ps app onto my console either. Any advice would be great thank you :)))KGIRLGrounds2 days agoRising Novice44Views0likes3CommentsWhen is the console update coming out
Why does EA not understand if they don't do both computer and console updates at the same time the gallery gets messed up because consoles are running an older version and it makes it to where we can't download anything off the gallery66babygirl663 days agoSeasoned Newcomer58Views0likes1CommentXbox one gallery issues
Hi guys I need some help. Im by no means a sims 4 technical wizz especially when it comes to the xbox. My sister turned 13 in january and just created an ea account to play on xbox, she tried to go onto the gallery but it popped up with a box saying “you cannot see content other people make because of how your account is set up”. So I removed all restrictions off of the xbox account so it definitely cant be that. And her EA account I tried to manage but all that comes up is about money for expansion packs etc nothing about the gallery. Is there anyone who knows how to resolve this and allow her to access the gallery?darkangel12134 days agoRising Newcomer46Views0likes1CommentCan I transfer my save file from ps4 to pc?

Problem is that im getting rid of my ps4 (that's what I used to play the legacy challenge) and buying a gaming pc. So can I like transfer my save file to my pc? (Btw I saw some ppl suggesting that I upload my Sims on the gallery and download them from there and id really like to avoid that option if possible) and Iaianw81816 days agoNewcomer24Views0likes0CommentsDLC content disappearing

Whenever I am playing a household, I run into the same bug in CAS. It happens when I use the cas.fulleditmode cheat and try to add a pet to my household. I can’t access the menu to save my game. I was able to click Done and get out of CAS, but in Live mode I also cannot access the menu to save. Whenever I click on Manage Worlds, it lets me select which save file I want and then doesn’t actually save. This has happened to 2 of my families and it makes the game unplayable.FindingRain5248 days agoNewcomer26Views0likes1CommentBugs and Glitches on PS4 Legacy save file
Gallery ID - Lowri279 I'm playing on a legacy save at the moment on PS4. I've had a lot of glitches and none of them seem to be resolved after the sims 4 update. Sims will glitch while aging up, either not at all after blowing out the candles or they will age up twice and can miss traits, e.g. from teenager to young adult, will not have 3 traits will be stuck with 2 traits from teenage life stage. I've also had pets become stuck on aging up and will spin around, unable to save the game while this happens as the pet is ageing up and blocks me from being bale to save. Sims will walk off the map and get stuck in areas they shouldn't be able to walk, this glitches the whole sim out and becomes unplayable and will often crash after this happens, no options to save and progress has been lost due to this. items from packs will disappear after placing them in sims household, when I go back on the build mode it states content is unavailable and I cannot place the object anymore from packs unless I find it on the gallery from another simmer. The new natures calling event, I'm unable to collect anything new since the last update, it states i need to connect to the internet to access the rewards I've already unlocked, I recheck my connection to WIFI and it is connected, I'm also able to use the gallery which requires internet access. After purchasing Enchanted by nature pack, my sim has had gnomes turn up for various jobs like gardening but I'm unable to move them when they are in the way and my heir sim has a green cloud around his head and constantly is throwing up, even after I disabled the pack settings. Sims constantly stuck with burn out and fears, I have to keep buying potions for my sims to overcome their fears as the actions to get rid of the fear don't clear after being completed, e.g. ask sims partner for reassurance after completing this the fear will stay unless I used a potion via satisfaction points. Sims will be a high level in career and get burnt-out moodlets, after taking days off work and working on mental skills it will reappear after a few days and it is nearly impossible for my sims to advance in their careers. Sims will return from school or work early randomly and is unable to return to work/school until the next day they are scheduled in, its effecting them being able to advance in careers and school. Issues with dragging items e.g. dirty dishes, food to be put in fridge, items in inventory etc., it will glitch with the item on the cursor and will often crash afterwards closing the whole game. . infants have had glitches where their body is disproportioned and they are really tall with long arms and legs they are unplayable when they are in this state. I've had sims where their face will become completely blacked out on the sims panel and in gameplay, makes it difficult to tell on which sims are who, especially if household is full. Loading screen has bene glitched and stuck on the loading screen for over 30 minutes, no writing on the screen just a plumbob. Sims have fed infants on the toilet and when they do so they will be glitched on the toilet unable to get up or complete any tasks, I try to go to manage worlds to fix this but it often crashes and all my progress will be lost. I've had issues with sims unable to die, they will get to elder stage and their days will be limited and ill get messages saying its their last day and to get their affairs in order, but they will not die. I've tired to kill them on purpose e.g. via enraging a crow or drownings in a pool, the sim will die then be resurrected by the grim reaper or just go into T pose and not die. New loading screen, families aren't showing up before selecting play, it will just be blank where they are supposed to be, this will happen especially if I age up a sim or add a pet to the household. I have no Mods as I play on PS4, and it is updated, any tips and advice would be deeply appreciated as the sims 4 is a special interest of mine and I used a lot to decompress, with all the bugs and glitches at the moment its unplayable which I'm finding difficult to manage. TIA Below are some photos of the glitches and bugs I've experienced29Views0likes1CommentSave File Question
So I have 2 save files on my console. I play on a Ps4. In one save file I just play the game. Single character, pretty large house. The other save was simple so I could build the entire neighborhood of Newcrest. My question is, why are both save files the exact same size in my playstation storage information? I thought the save files were completely separate from each other? If so, I can't see that a single house and character could possibly add up to being the same size as 15 decorated lots and a single character. Is this a playstation thing perhaps? Thank you.bluqueen92512 days agoSeasoned Newcomer45Views0likes2CommentsMy data repeatedly corrupts
Every time I open the game, i get a pop up that says my data is corrupted, and I lose everything in my library. I'm on PS5, and luckily I have PS plus, so im able to retrieve the things I lose, so I download my latest cloud save, only for most of my hairs, clothing, and makeup to be missing from all of my saved, created sims dispite gaving all of my dlc installed I'm also unable to save in CAS, and if I attempt I get stuck on an infinite saving screen that never saves no matter how long I leave it. I can't say anything about gameplay or building as im mostly a CAS player, so the game has been quite literally unplayable for me. I made a post on reddit and have searched the internet for answers, but have been unable to find anyone else facing this issue I have almost all the dlc installed except like, two stuff packs and several kits, and im on the latest update. Ive even deleted and re-downloaded the game and all my packs several times, and am doing it again as we speak. I've also already restored my licenses several times as well. I have had a very rough two weeks, and want nothing more then to make (and actually be able to save) some new fairies and sims and get away from it all for a while, but I can't. I just want to be able to play the gameSolved148Views1like12CommentsPacks on console won’t work!!

Plz help!thegoodwitch83014 days agoRising Newcomer42Views0likes1CommentMy game is not saving
I relinked my EA account, restarted my entire console. Built an entire home in the new world (as well as in Willow Creek), but when I save it gives me the notification about not being able to save my game. Why is this happening and are the console issues being worked on? So far there are two issues I have come across that have not been fixed with any of the updates/bug fix updates. ONE is the issue of not being able to filter the build/buy catalogue in order to search for items (in debug as well as not in debug). TWO is the issue of not being able to save my game even after restarting and creating a new save. These are issues that shouldn't be going on and if the game were correctly tested with and without other packs installed there would be no interference when new packs or kits are created. Please for the love of your business/career fix the game play issues perminantly.Wiccanmamma15 days agoSeasoned Adventurer53Views1like1CommentUnable to filter build/buy catalogue
I play on Playstation 5, I have been unable to filter the build/buy catalogue. I have tried almost everything to figure out why it isn't working. It started just after the "Nature's Calling" event began. I noticed it when I tried to filter "debug" while looking for rocks from the island living pack. I tried to filter the debug and had started to become very frustrated which caused me to just give up on playing. Why is the catalogue filter constantly going through this issue every time a new pack or kit is released or an event starts? Please fix this issue so console players can easily filter through the build/buy catalogue to create beautiful and amazing builds.Wiccanmamma15 days agoSeasoned Adventurer18Views0likes1CommentCats and dogs + Island living not working
Since the update i have not been able to use either of these packs. They show up as owned when i open the game and look at my packs but when i go to the add ons menu they don’t show up at all, only in bundles. I can’t access any of the content in either packs. Both packs are purchased on the console and not on disc.36Views0likes3CommentsNature's Calling Event Rewards disappeared from inventory
Hello I'm playing Sims 4 on PS4 and all of a sudden my rewards from the "Nature's Calling" event have disappeared. The tattoo is not showing up, the bathing suit is gone when I go to the main event menu it says I've collected all my prizes but they're not in my inventory. I can't find an answer anywhere.MMFOREVER0416 days agoSeasoned Newcomer240Views4likes9Comments
