Any possible thing I can troubleshoot I have. I’ve restarted the console and game several times. Im not sure what to do! Any ideas? thanks!!
Nature'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.
Severe lag in Sims 4 on PS4
Hello, and thank you in advance for any help. I know lag in game play has been an on going issue since Sims 2 (I had lag then, too). However, the lag I am currently experiencing is in every aspect of the game. I have 2 saved games, one with cheats on and the other with trophies. In the trophies, I only have 2 families with 2 Sims each (4 Sims total). In my cheats game, I have 3 active families that range in how many Sims are in each. I also typically build micro-houses. Now that you know my gameplay style, let's talk about the lag. From the main screen, the lag occurs. My cursor doesn't move and I can't click on anything. Once I am able to move the cursor, I quickly choose my game. It takes so long to load. Once it's loaded, the same lag continues within game. There is no lag in build mode, but there is in every other aspect of the game. Even in the dressing room, there is lag. Sometimes, when the lag catches up, it makes the cursor super fast and jumps over my options by 3's. I want a red lipstick? Sorry, you can only get to green or black! (As an example). I have saved the game to my ps plus cloud, deleted it from my console, re-downloaded all the packs I have purchased, and tried playing with new Sims. The same thing happens. Then, I get a notice to tell me to wait while my graphics card (on my PS4, mind you) gets adjusted. Which doesn't change a thing. I have tried moving my game from my external memory to the console and back. This makes no difference. The hard-drive is a 2t with lots of space, so space isn't an issue. My game has all available updates. I also have purchased all but 5 kits. Does anyone know how to help with this?Game Play Issue: Unable to get house’s back (that I built)
Hello, recently I got a new wifi (an upgrade) afterwards I launched the Sims 4 and realized it wasn’t working. At the time I didn’t realize it was because I hadn’t connected the wifi to the console, however now that I have when I launch the sims it only kept data from a couple of my worlds and deleted my houses that I’ve built but the weird thing is there are only a couple of worlds that have deleted my house data. And it’s not just base game worlds that kept their data, there are other worlds that I have bought (via packs) and they have houses I’ve built still in them. I have some houses that i downloaded and are in my library but mostly the ones that have gone missing were never saved. Just a side note: All the family’s are fine it’s just the houses. Please if anyone has ever heard of this or has had it happen to them, it would be so helpful to hear what you did to get them back. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.Wedding event panel wont go away.. sims can’t get married, only elope.
In my current save my sim was trying to marry the grim reaper (done before w no issues), got thru everything fine and then when it was time for the event to start, Grim wouldn’t show up. Inviting him over to the lot wouldn’t work, I couldn’t cancel the event (it would ask if i’m sure I want to cancel and i hit yes, and nothing changes). at this point I assume ‘okay ill just make them get married again after this runs out on its own’. Grim wouldn’t come to my house until after the wedding was suppose to be over, and then I couldn’t plan a wedding because it kept saying there was already an event happening, but eloping was the only thing that worked. i’ve played probably 20 sim days since, and the event panel is still there. when i restart the game it still says the wedding is happening, i cant make it go away. i cant plan any other event, and sometimes it wont let me travel because of the event. please help:(
gallery glitch
This is the second time that is has happened to me the first creator I unfollowed and it has happened again. When I go to look at what sims they have and it says that they don’t have any sims. I have been on their gallery before and they have definitely have had sims. I don’t know if this is a glitch on the gallery or the person have deleted their profile. I play the game on ps
High school years
I am on ps5, and the prom for high school years sometimes glitches and ends early, reseting the venue. Then, the after prom event completely glitches going to a black screen and never happens, the screen will cut back to my sim outside of the prom venue, or I have to close my game and reopen it.
Tutorial text testing bug on my screen and won’t let me play any household
It’s a big teal text that says tutorial text then an arrow pinging to nothing and a random ok button in middle of screen that won’t click and on the top left corner it says test but it’s testing my patience because I just played last night and this wasn’t happening ny game has never ever crashed😭
Information Panels
Just wondering if it's just me, but before I was able to increase the size of all information panels, like career, skills, and relationships, and now the only panel that increases is the inventory panel. I play sims on console, PS5, and before it was pressing the up directional to increase the view, but it no longer works, just for the inventory. Does anyone else have this issue? It's quite frustrating constantly scrolling to view everything rather then just extending the panel to view everythingIssues in CAS after household is already in town
I have tried to edit a household and I keep running into the same issue with the pets pack, everytime I edit a household that’s already in the game that has an animal after a while I go to edit the household and once I finish editing my sim when I click to play the game it’s taking me to the pet in the household and saying the breed isn’t filled out. I’ve ran into this issue since before the blast from the past release and was wondering if anyone else is running into this issue? Playing on Xbox console with no cheats.
Blast from the Past Event
I completed the Blast from the Past Event. Upon completing, I lost access to all of my collectibles from Blast from the Past, as well as the collectibles I had from the Cozy Celebrations & Reaper Rewards events. When I loaded into a different save (where I am collecting all of the collectibles), I got a pop up that there were objects that I didn't own that had been removed from my save (the Milk Cartons, Freezer Boneys, and Cozy Wreaths). The objects are also not available in the save where I completed the Event. If I open the event screen, all items are listed as claimed, but I cannot access them in game or in Build/Buy. System: Console (PS4) No CC/Mods Packs Installed: All, minus Bust the Dust Most recent release: Update from 3/6/25
