Can't rotate camera
I'm going insane!! The right-clicking to rotate the camera in Sims 4 is not working for me. I've tried everything. I've used multiple mouses, tried repairing the game, going into the game files and fixing it, deleting files so they create fresh ones, and finally, deleting the game and all of my expansion packs and redownloading them. NOTHING has fixed it. It is in build mode, live mode, and CAS for rotating the sims as well. I am at a loss, and I don't like using the comma and period keys to rotate the camera. Does ANYONE have a solution? I feel like I'm going crazy trying to fix this, and absolutely nothing is working. Game version: 1.124.63.1220 with NO mods or CC's
Game keeps spinging! Need Help!

A girl just wants to play sims. Any one have ideas what I can do? I can get into build mode but I cannot get into game play.
Save error code
I've never had an issue with the Sims before, I'm kind of hoping it will resolve with the bug update that's coming soon. My game keeps going back to the same date and time, even though I've played since then. I've tried saving as, clearing cache files, repairing the game, recovering my household and I don't play consistently with mods (they haven't been on my game in months). It's completely fine when I do play, saving is the only issue. Do I wait for the bug update or is there anything else I can do?
Game won’t launch
Help !!! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and ea .. I updated all of my mods , created a new sims 4 folder and still nothing .. It’s weird though like I’ll remove that specific item and then another one will appear and I’ll continuously delete the one they tell me to and then move onto another one and so forth and then eventually it’ll just say that the game itself isn’t working like in the first photo .. either way, I’ll delete a bunch of cc’s and it’ll bring me back to the fact that the game is not working
Game crash on Mac
Hello, my game keeps crashing. After a couple of minutes of playing my game just quits unexpectedly. I tested a clean game and everything was fine. Then I created a new save, and everything was fine, so I moved a copy of my saves into the game and started playing, but my game quit. I'm not really sure what to do now. The only thing that I can say I do is zoom in and out, and it quits (I think that's the issue), but even then, that doesn't sound like it can cause my game to keep quitting on me. Should I try and put a copy of an older save and see if this still happens? I do use mods and CC, but all was removed, game repaired and I started a clean game-> still happening My Mac fulfills all minimum requirements -> still quitsEP16 and SP09 corrupted download on Mac
Hi everyone — posting here because I'm having the same issue after the April 16th patch. My EP16 expansion pack and SP09 stuff pack are both showing as "still downloading" in game, even though my EA account shows them as fully owned and the files are in the correct folders. I've tried everything: cleared EA cache, repaired the game, uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Nothing works. So I went into the actual pack folders and checked the file sizes, and here's what I found: EP16: • SimulationFullBuild0.package — 6.6 MB (should be several GB) • SimulationPreload.package — 3.9 MB (should be much larger) SP09: • SimulationFullBuild0.package — 1.1 MB (should be much larger) • ClientFullBuild0.package — 155.7 MB Every single reinstall pulls the exact same undersized files, which tells me EA's servers are serving incomplete files for these two packs specifically. A different pack I purchased around the same time downloaded and works perfectly fine, so this is isolated to EP16 and SP09. I'm on Mac using the EA App. Has anyone else seen this or found a fix? And is there any way to actually reach EA support beyond the forum — there's no live chat available to me.Sims 4 deleted games
I don´t know if it just happened to me, but I´m freaking out. I opened sims as I usually do and all my saves were gone. It just says: "welcome to the sims 4!", and NOTHING is in my game. What do I do? It worked yesterday. Did sims just delete all of my saves? I still have the packs. Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do?
