Sims4
It’s started for almost two weeks. Here and there when I play Sims4 I get multiple saves in my save file instead of just one. I only save once and then, if I need to again I’ll delete it IN THE FOLDER then I’ll save it and there’s one everytime cause I go back in everytime I feel like I should save it. Also, for mcc command center when I go to relationships and then add relationships no title of a relative pops up like normally. I never did anything when it wasn’t happening or I don’t remember but this isn’t the first time and it doesn’t happen often.repaired loads of times, cleared cache nothing loaded properly.
I have repaired on EA games so many times and not working uninstalled and reinstalled. Sims will loaded but I cant do everything I normally could before. I'm not tech savvy so I have no clue what to do, I'v done the help and clear the cache. Installed and reinstalled.
Sims 4 packs are not showing up as installed after moving the app location
It was originally in this location: And I dragged the folder to this application section because I read someone else do it to make for easier access: I tried the fixes of trying to download the packs through the EA app, but it shows as already installed. I also tried to activate through the marketplace but it shows up as “not installed.” This has been quite frustrating because I use items from each expansion pack and the game isn’t reading anything that I own :( is there any fixes for this issue to get the game to read my packs? Do I move it back to the original location? will such troubleshooting steps affect my batch of mods currently installed? I apologize for the many questions this is the first time this has happened to me and while my game is still running well and smooth, the packs that are not reading which results in a great chunk of missing content. Thank you and looking forward to your help :)
Sims 4 keeps saying file is corrupt
I am unable to load my game after the last update as it keeps popping up with the attached message. I cannot use any of my mods even though they have been updated and I am very confused as to what is happening. I have removed all my mod folders, reset my laptop, reinstalled the sims 4, repaired the game countless times but it still will not work. Can someone please help meGame crashing after recent update
My game has not stopped crashing since the most recent update, it is completely unplayable. I saw some people in the PC forum complaining about the same thing. I've done every trick and tip (and yes, I do have CC and mods installed- only one script mod, but a lot of CC and I've done all the troubleshooting there), but the problem persists. What should I do next?The Sims 4 save became empty/corrupted after clearing the EA App cache.
I play The Sims 4 on Mac. After clearing the EA App cache, my old save disappeared from the Load Game menu. I still have the original Slot_00000004.save file, approximately 10 MB. I restored the save into a newly generated Sims 4 folder. The save now appears in Load Game, but when I open it, all of my households and lots are missing and the world is empty. Recover Save is also completely empty and there are no .save.ver0/.ver1 backup files available. I tested the save without Mods/CC and the problem remains. I also created a copy of the save under another slot, but the copied save has the same problem. The save file is still recognized as a Maxis DBPF file and is approximately 10 MB. I would like to know whether EA can analyze or recover data from this save file
EA app won't launch Sims 4
I am a MacBook user, and have never had any issues playing the Sims 4 through the EA app. Today I updated it then loaded up the game and it was fine. I then opened up and closed the game a few times, as I was testing out OBS's screen record feature. After I connected my macbook to my second screen (again never had any issues with this) and opened the sims 4 on the second screen and played around with the display/resolution settings in the Sims 4. I then quit the game and when I tried to reopen shortly after it would not work. Every time I launch the sims on the EA app, the sims 4 app icon pops up at the bottom as normal but then instantly closes and the EA app pops back up on the screen. There are no messages or errors that come up. I have literally tried EVERYTHING including... Removing my mods folder Deleting cache Repairing the sims and expansions in the EA app Restarting the EA app App recovery on the EA app Making sure both EA app and Sims 4 have permissions on my mac to the full disk/documents Closing all EA applications through activity manager And NOTHING has worked! I feel like i have tried every single suggestion online. Please help! I don't know what changed in a matter of minutes.Endless loading screen
So I've just bought a brand new Macbook PRO with M5 Pro chip (Mac OS Tahoe 26.6). I've downloaded The Sims 4 + bought the Seasons expansion pack. I honestly didn't even test the game before adding CC (from Curse Forge). After playing for some time I tried going to Manage worlds and editing my household from there and that's where I realized that I have some problems. The game was stuck on endless loading screen, so I had to force quit it. Since then I've tried everything the internet suggested: Deleting CC and slowly putting it back Completely deleting CC's Deleting Mods folder + localthumb.package and other recommended folders Deleting the original The Sims 4 folder so that the game creates a new one Playing in widowed mode Turning off laptop mode Completely deleting and reinstalling the game The game doesn't even work without CC inside. What else can I do, is there any way to fix this bug?The Sims 4 crashes on launch — Apple M5, macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Metal driver
System: MacBook Air, Apple M5, macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 Install: EA App version of The Sims 4 Issue: When I click Play in the EA App, the app minimizes, the Sims 4 icon briefly appears in the Dock, then disappears, and the EA App reopens. The game never reaches the loading screen or main menu. Relevant details from the crash log (lastCrash.txt attached): - Modded: False - LoadingScreenActiveFlag: 1 (crash occurs during loading) - Architecture: arm64, GPU: Apple M5 - Stack trace shows repeated calls into Metal and AGXMetalG17G Troubleshooting already completed (no change in behavior after any of these): - Restarted the Mac - Removed Mods folder and tested with a completely fresh Mods folder - Repaired the game via EA App - Updated macOS from 26.6 to 26.6.1 - Checked for and confirmed no pending Sims 4 game update - Tried running EA App under Rosetta This matches other reports from Apple Silicon (M3/M4/M5) users on macOS Tahoe describing the same Metal driver crash during the loading screen.Cheat Console Does Not Open on macOS
The cheat console cannot be opened using Control + Shift + C on macOS. The game does not react at all when the shortcut is pressed. This issue appeared after a recent Sims 4 update and has persisted since then. System Information Platform: macOS Mac Model: MacBook Pro (Apple M1) Operating System: macOS Tahoe 26.6 Game Version: 1.126.58.1230 Launcher: EA App Keyboard: Built-in Apple French AZERTY keyboard Expected Result Pressing Control + Shift + C should open the cheat console. Actual Result Nothing happens. There is: no cheat console, no UI animation, no screen flash, no game freeze, no sound, no indication that the shortcut has been detected. The game behaves as if the shortcut was never pressed. I have already ruled out the common causes: Completely reinstalled The Sims 4. Deleted the entire Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder before reinstalling so the game recreated fresh user data. No mods or custom content installed. No third-party keyboard remapping software. No external keyboard. Fullscreen mode. French AZERTY built-in Apple keyboard. Control key works correctly inside the game (for example, Ctrl + drag duplicates objects in Build Mode). Shift key works correctly. Individual keys are detected normally. The issue only affects the Control + Shift + C shortcut.Mods Appearing on game when Mods folder is empty.
Just updated my game, wanted to renew all my mods, Wonderful Whims and MC Command Center. When I launched the game did what I always do, enable script mods, exit the game etc. When I launch the game again, all the MC Command Center Mods show at start up, but also Whicked Whims, which has never been downloaded, decide to start a game and try it out. When I start a save file, I get a notification for Whicked Whims exception. Decide to delete all my mods and just start from the beginning and download them again. My mod folder is now completelty empty as well as my trash can, but at start up it still shows all the mods that were previously on right after the update. The mods in the game are broken, my sim can't go to the bathroom and MC Command Center doesn't even show up. I'm so lost, I have no idea what to do.
Sims 4 is crashing every time I select 'New Game'
I replaced the hard drive on my Macbook, and ever since I reinstalled Sims it will load up as normal but then crash when I select 'New Game.' Any suggestions for things to try would be sooooo appreciated, or even if you just know of another subreddit or forum or website or whatever that I might try! Here are some details: I have a MacBook Pro 2015. Recently I got a new hard drive and battery, and as a result the repair guys re-installed the OS as Sequoia (previously I'd had Monterey as that's the highest my 2015 computer would go). I also did not have any backups and my last hard drive fully died, so all my files and whatnot are brand new. Those are the only changes made to my computer. I am trying to install Sims 4 + 28 expansions/packs. I have included part of the error report that Apple generates after it crashes at the bottom of this. It's too long to include in full, but when I shared the same text with my dad he said "it's a segfault error" - which means nothing to me but maybe something to you. I've tried: - Playing around with the graphics and using lower settings or resolutions. - Deleting the 'Electronic Arts/Sims 4' folder in My Documents, and then repairing Sims in the EA App. I've also tried just one or the other. - Uninstalling Sims and then even the EA App, making sure all documents and files are deleted, and then reinstalling. - Uninstalling Sims, and then only re-installing the base game without any of the other content. Nothing has worked :( Please, please, I'd love any advice! --------------------------------------------------------------- Crashed Thread: 23 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000004454e3010 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x00000004454e3010 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Terminating Process: exc handler [2997]
