The sims 4 not updating at all
So, I've been trying to update my game ever since the new update came out, but it is stuck on preparing, calculating time, ever since then. I tried downloading the update the same day it came out as I always do and this has never happened before. I tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the ea app, I'm at the point where I'm considering uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, but will probably take hours to do so I don't really want do do it, also some thing very weird when it's in this state of eternal preparing the ea app just closes out of no where, like nothing happened, I don't get a pop up that the app crashed or anything it is just not open anymore. By the way my game is on a external hard drive, but there's nothing I can do about it cause is the only way I can play, because my computer dose not have enough space to download the game and I still be able to use it for anything els. I don't know what to do any more.
How to Change Game Language to English in The Sims 4?
Hi everyone, I recently downloaded The Sims 4 (Base Game) via the EA App, but during installation, I was only given three language options: Czech, Russian, and Polish. I want to play the game in English, but that option wasn’t available. I’ve already set my EA App account settings to the United Kingdom and selected English as my preferred language. I also switched my MacBook’s system language to English, but the game still doesn’t offer English as a language option. I should mention that I’m currently located in Ukraine. Could this be the reason I only have these three language options? Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there a way to get English as a language option while in Ukraine? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!
Sims 4 right click not working with newest Mac Update
I've recently updated my MacBook Pro to macOS Sequoia 15.0 and my right click on the Sims is no longer working. I normally have the camera in Sims 3 camera mode so this is really annoying for me. I know there are other ways to play the game, but I've been playing with he Sims 3 camera since the Sims 3! I've tried restarting my computer, changing my secondary click on my computer (still doesn't work if it on the left side of trackpad), removed all MODs & CC, restarted the EA App, repaired the Sims 4, uninstalled the Sims 4 and started a brand new game. I don't know if there is anything else I can do, please if you have any suggestions or if this happened to you and you fixed it please let me know! Thank you in advanced :)
Stuck on loading screen
Hello, Since about 4 days my game keeps getting stuck on the loading screen. When this happens differs, but I don't really know why. Sometimes it will get stuck before getting to the main menu, other times I already played (and traveled) in gameplay and then all of a sudden when traveling to a different lot it won't load. I've deleted all my mods and even deleted a save file and started a new one. It keeps happening. What can I do about this?Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged.
I have been getting the error message "Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged.If you have Mods installed please remove them and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin" ever since the most recent update. I have no mods or CC downloaded. I have gone through the support help 4 times, which involved "repairing," uninstalling the EA app from my mac, uninstalling the sims 4 from my mac, reinstalling them, etc. My game still will not even load. The advisor recommended posting on the forum for help.Grim Reaper Week2 Update Causing Main menu Problems

I haven't played sims in a while, since before the very first lovestruck update. anyway, I just updated two days ago, and my game won't work. The game opens and runs okay, it was taking longer to load than usual. I was able to use CAS. But when it came to playing, none of my sims would listen to what I told them. They would just randomly start dancing. One sim was in the front yard but the game said she was playing video games. I completely deleted all of my mods and cc (after backing up) and was still having the same problems. It's super frustrating.Snowy Escape install issue
The EA app is saying Snowy Escape is installed for my game, but when I open the game it's not installed. The pack isn't showing up in the Sims Packs on my computer either. How do I get the EA app to realize that Snowy Escape isn't installed? I've tried completely uninstalling the Sims 4 and the EA app, but the EA app is still saying Snowy Escape is installed when the base game isn't even installed. I've tried removing all CC and mods, but haven't had any luck
New to Sims 4. How to download onto Mac book air.
Hi I haven’t played the sims 4 for a long time due to not having a pc and now I’ve just purchased a new Mac book air (2024). I don’t know where to start with the sims or how I even download it onto the MacBook. On the PC I had origin and downloaded it via that so do I have to do that with the MacBook or is it a different set up? Also being a newbie to sims again what packs would people recommend as if I remember right the base game is quite average. thanks, B
CAS not loading ?
CAS on my sims 4 game is will not load. The game itself loads fine, but when I go to edit sims nothing loads. If I try to start a new game CAS won’t load. It’s stuck on the loading screen when in gameplay. And it’s stuck on the white screen when making a new game. I do have mods but I have them updated. Seems like this is the only thing not loading. Anyone know what I can try to fix it?
