My Library gone? (Console PS5)
Hi I recently just saved a new build to my library and noticed everything I’ve had saved in the last 4-5 years are completely gone all of a sudden from my library. I have no idea what happened or how to fix this issue. It’s completely devastating knowing all my saved lots are gone! 😭 please help! I’m also receiving a system error code when trying to place a specific lot as well..
Can’t transfer funds when splitting households.
I am currently unable to split any of my funds from my main household to the new household. When clicking the arrow to transfer funds, nothing happens. When clicking on the box to manually enter the amount of funds, you’re able to enter an amount when the keyboard comes up but when hitting enter the funds stay at 0. I am playing on an Xbox series s. I do not/can’t use mods. My game is fully updated to the latest version.Freezing when idle paused
This was an issue in previous versions that was resolved but has returned after the 1.121.340 patch When paused with the pause menu open if you leave the game idle for a few minutes and return the game will not resume. You can scroll the pause menu up and down but the buttons cannot be activated, gameplay can’t resume without a hard reboot. Playing on Xbox OneNewest Update on February 4th caused a complete blackout on my PS5 console.
There was an update for the Sims 4 on my system. I updated it and my entire PS5 console had a green screen for 3 seconds, then my entire console stopped working. I had to do a manual hard reboot (unplugged the power to my console) in order to get my system back. This is NOT okay, things like this should NEVER happen especially if it was properly tested. People have payed thousands of dollars for packs and kits for this game and yet we still have to deal with rushed game packs and kits that glitch, don’t work or cause multitudes of other issues for players. Stop releasing new packs and kits, fix the game and you will still make money as new users will see the game is actually being fixed. Start from the original base game issues and then work through things pack by pack and kit by kit. The Simmers on YouTube/Twitch are not fully being honest and misleading other players. They act like things are perfectly fine, yet not one plays on a Console (only on PC) and all the issues are different depending on the “system” (PC, PS5, etc). Things are by no means fine on PC or consoles. The problems stem from issues in the original base game, packs and kits don’t work properly with the base game or other packs and kits. The packs and kits were created to ALL be played/used at the same time. As a 45 year old who has played the Sims games since it was originally released, I have noticed that not once since the beginning has anything in the base game been correctly fixed and been functional with the base game as well as ALL other packs and kits. Please just fix the game and stop releasing more Packs and kits until the game as well as the already existing packs and kits are properly and functionally fixed for once.
Camara ramdomly shaking and save crashing in ps4
In the past few weeks my game has started to be really sensitibe about the way y move the camara with my control, I play in a ps4 with the ps4 control, sometimes I try to move the camara to another place with the joysticks then my screen decides ramdomly shake non stop to the sides, in an annoying way, when this happen my control baceme unusable, I cant save, control my sims, go to manage Worlds or go to the main menu, my sims are freeze and the game do not respond so I ended up closing the game abruptly losong all my progress in my save. In the past I have try to save constantly to avoid losing progrees, but since the last uptade I cannot sace without it crashing my gameUnable to place my own lot down; just shows move house icon with no house
I'm on the PS4 so I don't have mods or cc. The houses I want to place are my own creations. When I try to place them (on seperate lots in separate worlds, on correct lot sizes, under one of my save files) I just get the move house cursor icon with no house, and a check mark under it to confirm. I hit confirm, but nothing shows up. I've tried several troubleshoot suggestions when I googled this issue. Nothing has worked. I was able to place other houses on the lot, one that was from another player and another house that was my own creation from my library. Those worked. I cleared the ps4 cache and tried placing the houses in a different lot in a different world. Still won't work. I ended up saving each room of one of the houses that didn't work in my library, and I was able to place a room. What I'm wondering is if it's because the houses that I'm trying to place have the blacked out photos. I've been away from this game for a while, so I didn't know if the black photo issue meant the lot was completely corrupted since it wouldn't let me place the entire lot. I thought maybe I could get rid of the blacked photos and resave it in the library, but I've been getting the "Timed Out" error when trying to save lots. So for the most part I can't always upload to my own library lately. I even got the "Timed Out" error when trying to save each room, but luckily they showed up in the library. So the only saved version of my houses I want to place are the ones with blacked out photos. The only solution I haven't tried was deleting the whole game and reinstalling it, but I wanted to see if I should even bother if the real issue was the blacked out photos.Can’t right click to move camera
I play on an Xbox s with a keyboard and mouse. I use the sims 3 camera and play almost daily and am used to being able to move the camera by holding down the right click on my mouse but it’s not working suddenly. It’s very annoying to have to move my cursor to the side of the screen to get it to move where I want, the sims 4 camera isn’t any better. Idk if this is a bug or an update but I hate it lol I’ve already tried closing and reopening the game and it won’t stop.Broken Custom Tattooed Sims
So, my roommate spent roughly 8 hours making two mermaids with custom tattoos. They saved it to the gallery and decided they would download them back later to play with them. Everytime either one of us (on our own xboxes) goes and downloads them from either the gallery or her library none of the tattoos that were painted on show up. They completely are gone. We have tried restarting our consoles and such multiple times. We both have tried downloading them on a new save file. Nothing has worked. The maker listed would be Nori Ariake Their pictures on the gallery show the custom tattoos on them.
Lots not loading in from the gallery/library
I have been trying to place a lot that I built from both my gallery profile and library and it will not place. I just get the “move lot” arrows and check mark. The lot is still blank and nothing is there. One time I did it and a red error box popped up, but I wasn’t able to repeat that error. See screenshots below. I was going to do video but I see there is a size limit on attachments so I screenshotted what I could.Gallery family’s missing
Sorry if this has already been solved I can’t find my original post and I really want to fix it because it’s been making avoid playing the sims😭. But ever since the update all of the families I’ve saved into my gallery are all gone with just the base game families remaining. I’m not sure what’s wrong since all the homes I’ve made are still there just my families from the gallery are missing and all my saved games have all remained the same it’s just my gallery??Disappearing pictures and blank funeral photos
Pictures that I take with cameras/phones, always disappear whenever I save my game before getting off, and log in the next day the pictures are all blacked out. Also for funeral pictures, I select a sim and then the frame goes blank. Before it was working fine but now everything is disappearing.
Xbox.career.reaper Broken.
The option to go to work is now limited to just sending your sim to work. There's not even a menu that pops up anymore. Therefore making a certain task completely impossible. I've tried following all the online advice and nothing works. I think I may have figured it out however. I think it has to do with multiple Sims and a household. More than one to be specific. I think it may work if you started the career or the first time with a single household member and had that household number be the only household member. Not going to do all the testing of that now. It was fine before the update.
Game 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 green
