Missing Maker Packs.
I am missing my Maker Packs. I have followed the instructions to try to locate the missing Maker Packs: • Marketplace, • Browse, • Maker Packs. I have also spoken with Playstation Customer Care, and followed all of their instructions: • Updating The Sims 4 game, • Ensuring my PS4 game console is up to date on any system updates, • Restoring the Licenses for my games on my PS4. The additional issue's I am having are: 1.) The Maker Packs I purchased using Molla, are not appearing in my Purchase History. However, the purchase I made for Moola, does appear in my Purchase History. 2.) My Moola account balance is showing 0.SweetMysticalFog8 days agoSeasoned Newcomer54Views1like1CommentMy save files keep corrupting and shutting off my system
Its happened 3 times now. I will load up the game and i get a screen telling me the saves are corrupted and then my system shuts off and i have to unplug then replug to get it back on. My system was working just fine until i deleted the game and then redownloaded it to try and fix the multiple bugs i was dealing with. Hulu even gets corrupted now. Idk what to doMaidai0013 days agoSeasoned Rookie48Views0likes1CommentUnplayable (very long)
Look I promise I’m it trying to be super negative, I’m just frustrated and need to rant to people who may be able to give me solutions. I’ve been playing the sims for my whole life as most of us have. When I had a computer, I bought every pack for it, and went on to do the same thing for PS4 after losing my pc. I want to know if I’m the only one with this problem. I can’t play anymore, I can’t access the marketplace, because it won’t do anything. Game doesn’t freeze, but marketplace does. When in gameplay, everything stays choppy all the time. I don’t even get to see what my sims are doing, because they’re freezing, and I can’t have a household of more than one person. Shockingly I very rarely have crashes on my game, but gameplay just sucks. I don’t get to see all the fun interactions, or anything really. Just frozen sims standing around looking like idiots, 24/7. I even have to fight with it to send them to bed or the bathroom. I’ve gotten to where I just don’t let their needs decay anymore. The game just isn’t enjoyable anymore. I’m too busy fighting with it to make it work, instead of actually being able to play the game. I literally abuse that “reset sim” button, because it’s the only thing that works. I uninstalled it recently, and reinstalled it, and now I can’t access to my paid for expansion packs. Even though I’ve come to learn the game runs better without all the extra, does make it rather boring since I can’t download mods though, and I have spent a lot of money on this game, I would really like to be able to play it. I’ve considered it being my PlayStation, and even uninstall other games often to make it work. There has been a few times where the only game that I have installed is this dang game, and it still doesn’t run correctly. Do you get to experience smooth gameplay while playing on console? And if so, how do you achieve it? Because I just want to play my favorite game, which is quickly turning into my least favorite.JessiBear5517 days agoSeasoned Newcomer106Views3likes2Comments[GTW] [CHEATS] Alien Abduction Cheat Not Working
Hello ea forum devs uhm I’m not new to making reports but recently I’ve stumbled into a new save game since my last one crashed and I’m playing the pancakes household and I’m currently trying to use cheats to get Bob abducted since I’m too lazy to give him the scientist career but I don’t know if anybody noticed it before me but when I use the cheat interactions.push alienabduction_beabducted, it worked the first few times and I’ve not been able to get bob abducted after the first 2 times I’ve done it. Is this a bug because it never failed before and it’s been like 4 in game days since I could use them to abduct Bob. Sorry for wasting your time if it’s not note: I play on console so I don’t have access to mods or CCZippyWilson117 days agoSeasoned Newcomer58Views0likes0CommentsXbox save data error
So IDK when ea did this to our Xbox save datas or how this happened but I haven't touched my game in a full year since the royalty update came out and I go to play on my Xbox and all of a sudden my Xbox hits me with this glitch and says we aren't able to save any player data on this game anymore from this account please go to my games manage my game and save data and delete data and I clicked ok and closed the game I removed the other account data saved on my Xbox and reloaded the game it deleted my profile saves with me not deleting it and override it and when I launch the game it ask for my local save or my OneDrive save that was last saved in 2025 so I clicked that one drive and it's now loading that but is taking forever and to be honest it probably going to say I can't use this data because it's probably too big of a save data to load and I'm just sitting here wondering when did the sims 4 game not have a big save data file for Xbox and when it was shortened to the point I can't load any of my savesFoggyHen18 days agoRising Newcomer40Views0likes0CommentsMy entire game got wiped - PS4
When i loaded up the game, it said that my saves were corrupted. I was able to get into the game and access my saves just fine yesterday so I have no idea what happened. The stuff I uploaded to my profile and my likes are all still there and now my gallery is filled with the maxis stuff. That last update messed my stuff up BAD. I had to laugh or I'd be sobbing. This is frustrating. Good news is that i can save to my library again so yay?Maidai0019 days agoSeasoned Rookie30Views1like0CommentsTorendi Tower Lot Bug
I'm having a really frustrating issue with the Torendi Tower lot, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows how to fix it. The lot seems to be extremely buggy. A few months ago, I purchased it as a Residential Rental using one of my Sims. However, the lot never appeared in the Owned Businesses panel, even though I had purchased it. I remember experiencing lag and other issues with it already back then. Now, I would like to change the lot type from Residential Rental to a regular Residential lot so I can build on it, but I'm unable to do so. When I try to change the lot type, the following message appears on the lot type change button: "This owned lot cannot be changed. Please sell this Residential Rental via the Owned Businesses panel in Live Mode." The problem is that none of my Sims appears to own the lot, and since it doesn't show up in the Owned Businesses panel, I have no way to sell it. I'm basically stuck with a Residential Rental lot that I cannot manage or change. There's another issue with the same lot: whenever I try to place a build from the Gallery, I get a message saying "System Error." This makes it impossible to place Gallery builds on the lot as well. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it? I'd really like to use this lot, but at the moment, it seems completely broken. I'm also having issues with vacations. The game starts bugging out whenever my Sims go on vacation, making the vacation experience very buggy. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!Jasmiinaz20 days agoSeasoned Newcomer54Views1like1CommentCan't save to library or upload to profile - PS4
Since the 09/22 update my library got completely wiped and I can't download to my library or upload to my profile. I can't even download stuff from my profile. I can't create households, I can't add sims or tattoos from the gallery, and I can't upload to my profile, everytime I try I get the same message in the picture. I can save my game just fine. I've restarted my console, I've restarted the game, I've tried the game with/without wifi and nothing. Given this, the wipe, the game taking almost 5 minutes to completely boot up, and the insane amount of lag I've had since that update the game is unplayable and is just decoration on my homepage now.Maidai0023 days agoSeasoned Rookie24Views0likes0CommentsWont let me put in cheats, Xbox series X.
I have two issues thats been going on. 1. When I start up my game the cursor is gone and I have to reset everything in game menu to default. 2. Tonight I tried to put in cheat codes, can no longer type. Nothing shows up, no keyboard or anything.kimtsoni8825 days agoRising Newcomer49Views1like1CommentMultiple Issues (CAS, IN GAME)
To start off, I play with a PS4 and it’s in good condition. This is gonna be kinda long… Playing the sims on the console has gotten incredibly frustrating lately. From CAS to even in game. With CAS, I can’t download anything from the gallery because I then get stuck on zoom in and out. I can’t rotate my sim and if I click on a feature, I’m then locked on the features menu, not able to back out. I tried making a mermaid sim once and it kept freezing on me so I had to start over and for some reason it turn my mermaid into an alien? I couldn’t even change the occult back to mermaid. I had to restart again. And, the royalty and legacy scandal cooldown keeps changing (going from 9 days to 14 to 15) giving my sim this permanent embarrassed moodlet and this depressed walk. Mind you, in game I have been playing for probably like over 2 sim weeks. My sim had a literal child and it hasn’t changed. Another thing, personally I don’t really care for playing with the ghosts, for storytelling purposes I want to use the cause of death feature to hint my sim died before my story took place and I know an urn is going to be in their inventory. With all of that in mind, when I click on their urn in game to return them to the netherworld (? hopefully that’s what it’s called) and make it so they’re unplayable, it’ll briefly grey them out and tell the cause of death. Then after a while (i’ve only saw it after I saved) their portrait is suddenly colored again and it doesn’t show up that they’re dead? This is the 2nd time this has happened in a game before a patch update and after one. Idk if this is a problem with other console players or if it’s just a my console problem but it gets annoying how glitchy my game gets. I can’t use mods to correct the issues and I am occasionally forced to have to start over, which gets frustrating because I have to wait through a long loading screen (my tv is right beside the internet btw). This is related and unrelated, can we add more colors for base game hairstyles and eye colors?? have the ability to make them darker or something. also make it so my infant sim will have one eye colors and it won’t change to a whole new one when they age up (e.g. blue eyes going to literal red) If you stuck around this long, thank you, and please let me know if any of this stuff is a game issue that can be fixed?81Views0likes1CommentMaker packs stopping game from working
Xbox Series S - Maker Packs prevent Sims 4 from launching I’m experiencing the same issue on Xbox Series S. The Sims 4 launches normally when no Maker Packs are installed. However, as soon as I install a Maker Pack through Marketplace > My Collection > Manage Storage, the game stops launching and eventually gives me Xbox error 0x8027025A: “The Sims 4 has taken too long to start.” I have tested this with Maker Packs removed and the game works normally. I also tested installing Summer Trip by itself, with no other Maker Packs installed, and the game immediately stopped launching again. I have: Reinstalled The Sims 4 Completely restarted/power-cycled my Xbox Tried launching offline Confirmed this is my Home Xbox Cleared the Sims 4 reserved space Deleted local Sims save data and allowed it to resync None of these permanently resolve the problem. The consistent trigger is installing a Maker Pack. My existing saves also use Maker Pack content, so leaving Maker Packs uninstalled isn’t a workable solution because I cannot safely play those saves without losing/removing their content. [CM edit - formatting]kelseyayyx27 days agoSeasoned Newcomer105Views1like3CommentsXbox Player - Almost unplayable…
So the main issue really is when I’m playing, I will select another sim in my house hold, the wheel pops up, then I can’t actually select anything and I can’t exit out of the choices wheel (the circle of choices/action's you can do). This happens so often. I can’t barely use build mode because when I come out… happens again. Even worse when I come out of build mode. Unable to use anything. I cant even see the sim on the lower left hand side of the screen (the portrait of your played sim, there wants and current actions and future actions). Leading on from this, for the last 2 days (from today 07/10/2026)) my fine out pack has not worked. I go to a restaurant lot and I cannot select a table or request one. I cannot interact with the host station to get a table. When I click ok the tables, it is greyed out and says I need to request a table and that the table is not mine. Before these last few days, my restaurants were fine and I have already tried replacing them and it doesn’t fix it.

after building a new build I managed to save the game and the house appeared to be on the map. But after saving the house went back to the original lot. come out of the game to see if it’s still there. It still appears to be on the map but I go to click on it and it comes up with the previous lot. is there anyway of fixing this? Probably a long shotkwmd2ew41orh29 days agoSeasoned Newcomer91Views0likes3CommentsPlacing an item in build mode, it will disappear but hold the space
This started after the most recent update. When I place an object, like a table, it will disappear but the chairs will still act like they’re clipped to the table. I can’t move the missing item or the chairs once they’re clipped to the missing table. I try to save the game and it spins endlessly.35ccc99sp1fl1 month agoRising Newcomer48Views0likes1Commentmy game keeps crashing when i load onto a lot

Since the September 2026 update, I have repeatedly been getting the following error when trying to load my game: “The game failed to load. Error Code: 102:7f6dd991:b7a9ed3b. It is recommended that you relaunch the game.” I’m playing on Xbox and I don’t use mods or CC. The error wasn’t happening before the update, but since updating it has started appearing repeatedly. I’ve also previously continued playing and saved my game after receiving the error, so I’m concerned about whether this could have affected my save. I would really like to know whether this is a known issue with the current Xbox version/update, rather than an issue with my save becoming corrupted. Could someone please advise what this specific error code means and whether it is being investigated?Classybeauty19981 month agoSeasoned Newcomer70Views0likes2CommentsPlacing Lots
Sims 4 team ! love,love,love the new update changes and fixes but, the new Rockfield Highschool Maxis Lot Build from Mean Girls and Clueless pack has a lot of glitches and bugs going on. It takes forever for my teen Sims to do anything on this lot and I’ve never had an issue placing lots before in my saves. I always seems to have to reset my sims multiple times before the system actually catches up to do the task it’s frustrating.chefceairra31 month agoSeasoned Newcomer39Views1like0Comments
