HELP!! Sims4 Decorator's Dream Bundle?
Hello! I just purchased The Sims 4 Decorator's Dream Bundle for $49.99. Much to my dismay, it seems to be exactly the same as The Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator that had already purchased in 2021 for $19.99. How can this be?! The EA App tells me exactly what I have purchased already but it did not for this, and I am assuming it is because they changed the name of the bundle and the price...??? I have no ZERO luck getting booked up with the EA chat to request a refund, even though I have gone exactly through the process several times, checked my internet pop up settings, and spent tons of time trying to figure out how to contact them for help. I am at a total loss. Can anyone help? Thank you so much.
Sims 4 game won't launch
I play on a mac and at the moment when I try to open the sims 4, either through clicking the app icon on my dock or clicking 'play' through the ea app, it won't open. I click it and the sims 4 ea app icon bounces as if it's going to open but then it doesn't and the ea app pops back onto screen. I've tried doing 'app recovery' for the ea app, i've tried repairing the game and I've removed all mods and CC and nothing has worked.

Game crashing
My game keeps loading and then crashing. Sometimes it will pop up with a crash report, and other times, it is just a pop-up window that says the Sims 4 can't load or something like that. I have a lot of mods/cc (around 20,000), but they are all organized into separate folders within the mods folder. I have tested each folder by taking it out and trying to run my game to see if there is an issue within a specific folder. I have also removed everything within the mods folder, but the problem persists. I have tried to repair my game, done batch fixes with sims 4 Studio, and used Sims 4 mod manager. The last time it loaded my game was running fine until I tried to have my sim travel and when it loaded the entire UI bar was gone and my sim was invisible. I wasn't able to control them at all or do anything besides leave the game.

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.
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?

Packs got Deleted!
I got a new computer and downloaded everything in my Sims 4 game to my External Hard Drive. Now when I plug it in to my new computer after getting the EA app, none of my packs are registering as me owning them. All of my CC is still there, but all my purchased DLC won't show up in the EA app as me owning it. What folder do my sims packs go in on the mac/external hard drive?
Sims stuck on preparing download and calculating time.

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 :)
