My 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 gameSolved148Views1like12CommentsBug can't connect my PSN account to EA
Hi, I'm having trouble unlocking some trophies. I managed to unlock some by repeating the actions, while others, like Mischief Mastered and Over-Achiever, are impossible to unlock. To get around this, I thought about linking my EA account (**) to my PSN account (AlexanderProject, also created with alevicvos gmail.com) so I could access the online library/gallery and download other players' content. This brings me to another problem: I can't connect the accounts because AlexanderProject had already been linked to EA previously with a temporary email address that is no longer accessible (i don't even remember what email was it). Now to get access to the online services the game is asking for that specific email i don't have anymore. Please could you help me to connect my PSN ID: AlexanderProject (created with **) to my EA ID: je7a22swgm7g (also created with **)? I also bought a PS Plus subscription today because I thought that it was the problem preventing me from accessing the online library/gallery. Please ask me for any proof you need to prove that I am the real owner of both the PSN ID: AlexanderProject and the Email: ** Thank you for your attention and patience. ** [CM - Moved from The Sims 4 IT to The Sims 4 EN - Please post in the correct language forums] ** CM Edit: Please don't post your e-mail address in public forums!Solvedje7a22swgm7g15 days agoNew Novice79Views0likes1Comment- 30Views0likes1Comment
Lost my packs when I used the same disk I used on my other Xbox.
Basically I have a "living room" Xbox and a "Bedroom" Xbox. when I first got my bedroom xbox I downloaded Sims by using the same disk I use in my living room. I got it signed in with the same account i used in the liveing room (theres 2 accounts that use sims 4 in the liveing room) It recognized i owned all the packs i did so i downloaded them in the bedroom xbox, but unfortunately it took away my packs in the living room xbox. So I re-downloaded the packs in the living room, it split the packs I dont feel its fair and I should have the packs I bought on bolth the Xboxs because it was on the same disk. The packs that got tooken from me are, Grow Together, Eco LifeStyle, Island Living, City Living, ParentHood, Tiny Living, Laundry Day, Toddler, Kids Room, Book Nook Kit, Blooming Rooms Kit, Bust The Dust Kit, & Coutry Kitchen Kit. I've always loved this game but that truly bummed me.SolvedOwlsZ0323 days agoRising Newcomer56Views0likes2CommentsEnchanted by Nature DLC not showing as installed - issue fixed!
DLC on xbox storage shows as installed. I'm having an issue where I can't play or use the items from the Enchanted by Nature pack. Despite having the DLC installed, Sims 4 says it isn't. I've reset and restarted my consoled, I've also uninstalled everything and reinstalled it twice. I've cleared my local cache and storage.SolvedAdamcorrigan35129 days agoRising Rookie1.7KViews1like44CommentsError Code: 0
I recently downloaded the Businesses and Hobbies expansion pack. Since then I have been constantly receiving Error Code: 0 everytime I try to save and if my Sims travel from their home, all their furniture has disappeared when they come back. I really don't want to uninstall the add-on as it cost me literally fourty dollars, but I can't even play the game like normal. I have 5 other expansion packs, 4 game packs, and 1 stuff pack and none of them had this problem. I also have the Businesses and Hobbies pre-order content. I don't know why it's doing this. Does anyone else have this issue?SolvedFelineAtom872 months agoRising Newcomer101Views1like5CommentsConnection is Required error
I downloaded the new update today on my PS5 and it keeps saying to login to my EA account to use online features. My Internet is working fine so this has to be an EA issue. Is there a way to fix this? Also, my Sims on my home screen have been stripped of their clothes and my female Sim no longer looks pregnant. I'm scared to fully load into my save. Help, what do I do?Solved3.9KViews32likes151CommentsParenthood GP not showing up in game
After updating my game, I opened it and realized everything from parenthood was missing I thought “oh maybe it got uninstalled” because that has happened before, but when I went to manage game and add ons, it was checked as being installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but the content still isn’t showing up and it’s saying I need to “download to use” I think this has something to do with the update, but I really need my pack that I paid for to work.

i havent played the sims on my xbox in almost a year. i switched to laptop and much prefer it. however, there were some sims on my xbox gallery that i wanted on my laptop. so today i did just that. opened the game and uploaded the sims to the gallery successfully. a few hours later, i also wanted to upload a house i had built so i could download it on my laptop. same process. however, when i opened my game this time on my xbox, i was greeted with the terms of service page. thought it was odd but accepted. then it asked for screen adjustment. still weird. then after that i saw that ALL of my saves were gone from over the years. i opened the gallery and all of my gallery saves were gone too. it was like i was starting the game fresh. so yeah i panicked and found out that many people were having the same issue months ago. but the issue was never resolved. so is all of my data completely gone? was it corrupted? im so lost and confused. very upset as well because i had saves i had made from 2019 on there. its just jarring to think that all of my progress is gone and was for nothing. is there anything i can do, or do i just move on and play on my laptop forever?Solvedlemoniphonia3 months agoRising Novice77Views0likes1CommentCorrupted Save File wont load past opening load screen.
So for the last 2 hours I've been trying to play the sims 4 on PS5, I've resetted, cleared cache, reinstalled. Now everything over 300 hours of game play is practically gone, it's been confirmed that the save file is corrupted (don't know how since it's only every saved to the cloud or console) now when I go on another profile it works fine its basically starting all over again but mine it doesn't. I'm really not happy. I'm really devastated, everything is just gone.SolvedBurnzii443 months agoRising Newcomer84Views1like3CommentsI can’t buy just my first pets stuff pack!!
So I play on Xbox and I have a disc that includes the expansion pack of cars and dogs. However when I try to buy my first pets stuff pack, it doesn’t register that I have the expansion pack already and wants me to buy cats and dogs again. Even going through the bundle route it still wants me to pay for both. Even on sale Im not spending £20 quid for a £6 stuff pack. This needs to be fixed and I just really want hamsters in my game.SolvedScXrlett33 months agoSeasoned Newcomer48Views0likes3CommentsMissing sims from library
Hello! I play TS4 on the ps4. I am having a problem where all of my builds and sims are no longer in my library. I have one sim in my library which is my most recent household. Even builds or sims that I save from the Gallery have been wiped. I was wondering if anyone had experienced this problem or know of any solution. Thanks!SolvedHey_itsjae33 months agoNew Novice81Views1like4CommentsIsland Living missing from PlayStation
Hello guys, Never posted here before, but basically I brought 2 expansion packs on sims 4, one I brought last month and one I brought 8 months ago. I currently have a PS5 and ever since I downloaded the games on this console, one of the packs hasn't worked. I gave up trying to fix it. Now a second pack I was using, which I only brought last month has the same issue. The neighbourhood shows as locked and I dont have any of the content, but when I click it, it says I already own the pack. I've logged out and back in again, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, started a new save, restored the licenses, checked for updates nothing has worked. When I go into owned packs, I can no longer see the one I brought just a month ago and I can't use it! I've attached some photos to hopefully help explain what I mean, but if anyone else has anything I can try please help :(SolvedBabygirl1995xo3 months agoRising Novice1.2KViews0likes37CommentsInteractions Don’t play through
