Objects causing game to crash
Ever since Id say the update before this past one, anytime Ive tried to select certain items it freezes the games and then it crashes and will sometimes say invalid game license. Most of the items are upper kitchen cabinets and Ive noticed some shower stalls. Ive never had this issue before. Ive uninstalled the game twice cleared cache and I do not have any mods installed.
2 weeks since Reaper Rewards have actually worked
The reaper rewards event hasn't worked for 2 weeks now and I have no idea how to fix it. I was following other help threads online hoping to fix it myself but recently the ones I was following said they were fixed with the newest patch and that isn't the case for me. Its really annoying because I was logging on frequently to do the event but it stopped working ever since the ambrosia newsletter glitch and now I know I'm just gonna be missing out on all that time sensitive content with no way to actually earn it in time. The event pops up but I have no quest objectives. I tried to look them up online and complete them anyway, but it doesn't register any changes to the reaper event It started when I sped up the delivery of the ambrosia newsletter. I got an announcement as if my sim had picked it up ( which either was done autonomously and then also autonomously dropped before I could ever find it OR never actually happened ). The mail person was stuck in an endless loop of waving at the mailbox and all the reward objectives disappeared from the UI. Ive tried making new saves since then and even deleting the OG save to no avail About my game -I play on PC through the EA app -I have MC Command Center and UI cheats installed at the moment but this happened before I had installed those so I know its not them. -I've tried launching the game without mods installed, repairing the game, a clean uninstall and reinstall of the entire game and nothing has worked -My game is fully updated including the ''reaper reward patch'', which did not work either I have these packs : Expansions : all expansions except Lovestruck Stuff/ Game Packs : werewolves, wedding stories, vampires, realm of magic, strangerville, tiny living, spooky stuff, romantic garden, paranormal, outdoor retreat, nifty knitting, my first pet, luxury party, laundry day, jungle adventure, home chef hustle, dream home decorator, bowling night, backyard stuff & crystal creations Kits : grunge revival, simtimates, greenhouse haven, first fits, everyday clutter, fashion street, country kitchen, castle estate & blooming rooms Been trying to fix this for days and am honestly just really frustrated at this event since its timed and doesn't seem to even be working for most people ( at least according to what I've seen online. ) Hopefully they'll make this content accessible for those who have been trying to participate but have been unable due to all the glitches. Honestly I was very excited for this event and all the troubleshooting / glitches has made me not even want to play the Sims 4 right now
Problems with starting The Sims 4
Hi everyone, I tried to start the game but it always displays a window (I'll attach a photo to this post) and The Sims 4 doesn't start. I tried to restart the game or repair it, but nothing has changed. I would like to avoid uninstalling the game to not lose the downloaded expansions, is there another way?
Delay between click
Ever since the Sept update my game has been very glitchy and lagging. When I click on objects and other sims there is a huge delay before the actions actually come up and some of the actions just do not work or when they are almost finished with the action it glitches and they do the tpose and just stand there and it doesn't finish the task. I've updated mods, deleted mods, and tried the game without ANY mods and the problem is the same.
Sims 4 wont launch
Hey! I've done everything I can possibly think of to have my game load. It stays a blank white screen every time i try to access it. I've repaired it, made sure all modes were deleted. The graphics are at the highest and I have even uninstalled the game. Absolutely NOTHING has worked and I don't know what else can be done.Laptop help

Saved game disappeared in Sims 4
I had a saved game I was playing and I decided to move a new sim in next door to the sim I was playing with. I did that when I was managing the world that my current sim was living in. It’s then like the new sim with no progress overwrote the other sim’s story because my old sim with the progress and her house has disappeared and I only have access to load the new sim with no progress! I had moved him in next door to the other sim and could see her house in the lot next to me but now it’s all gone! My saves go to the OneDrive saves folder on my PC but I don’t think I can access my progress from there. I think all the saves there are related to my current situation. Has this happened to anyone else? My house and progress is gone and I’m just left with this new sim with nothing. It’s so disappointing.EC:204 when trying to play offline
I, like many others, am running into the "the game license has expired" error when trying to play offline despite owning this game for the better part of 7 years. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps and it reached the point where EA support told me to post here so...here I am.
Problem with loading my save after the update:
I have an issue where, after the recent update, I’m unable to load my main save. The loading screen keeps going endlessly, and the game doesn’t actually load. I’ve tried turning off mods, repairing the game through Origin, and other basic fixes, but nothing has worked. However, when I start a new game, everything loads fine, and I can play without any issues.(I don't have the features of the parcel) UPDATE I can only get into the family and play when I get the toddler out of it!!! what shoud i do? I’d really like to continue playing my old save instead of starting a new game. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a solution? Any help would be appreciated!
Sept 2024 update broke loading screen to main menu and exiting cas
I carried out the update yesterday. Updated every mod I had that I was aware needed updating, at first I could get into the game but the game would crash going out of CAS whether it was live mode, from the household management or a new save etc so I went OK must be a mod. Dragged out the entire mod folder from my game to be sure, tested it. Still faulting. Removed the entire sims 4 folder so all saves, trays etc will be new, still happening while 100% vanilla. Uninstalled and reinstalled sims, repaired for probably the 07th time. Now when I try to go in (still vanilla, no saves or tray files etc, no mods at all) I get stuck at the loading screen like it can't progress to the main menu option. I've managed to get into the game, but after going into CAS still crashes on exit, ticked to use the direct x9 which seems to have rectified the cas issue except every second attempt im still stuck at the loading screen for the main menu to get into any saves. I've already done every basic troubleshooting method I can think of, just wanting to know if anyone else is stuck like this?
My game closes down in build mode
Hello everyone. I've been having this issue for the last couple of weeks in which my sims 4 game closes down unexpectedly when I'm building a specific lot, and also sometimes during gameplay when there's too much stuff going on like a party for example. Here are the things I've tried so far: Deleting caché Repairing the game Updating the game Deleting the Electronic Arts folder and playing with a completely clean new game Changed the settings to laptop mode Checked if my drivers are updated (they are) Playing without my Mods folder Playing with a different save Some other things I can't remember any more I really hope someone can help me out, I must have searched the whole Internet for a solution and nothing seems to work. Btw my computer is practically brand new too, bough at the end of August and I hadn't had any problems till recently. I attach my DxDiag too. Thank you so much in advance!!!Sims Won't Move, Time Frozen, Can't Toggle to New Sim
I've been experiencing this problem for a few months now, where I go into my legacy save and it plays fine for a few minutes, but then suddenly the time stops advancing, my Sims stand still (but still move, swaying their arms, looking around, etc), and I can't toggle to a new Sim in my family. The Sim won't do any of the activities in their queue, they just stand there. Time doesn't move forward, and sometimes actually goes backwards by a minute or two. I can't switch to a new Sim. If it hit the menu button, it will switch to the Sim I last tried to switch to, but then I still can't do anything with that Sim. I've noticed this happens most often when I'm on an infant and then try to switch to another Sim, but that isn't the only time it happens. I currently have UI Cheats installed, but I have removed everything else that I've previously played with. I have tried to play this completely unmodded, without UI Cheats, and it didn't make a difference. I have also created a new save with my legacy family, since that particular save file was getting old; that has not made a difference. Any help would be appreciated!
There's a problem with your game's setup W10
Unfortunately I've tried all of the above and it's not worked for me. I am launching through steam and the EA app, could that make a difference? I'm unable to see where I can add -dx9 on the app. Just as an aside - I've not had this problem until recently, I've played over 700 hours of this game without any problems until now
Invalid Game License - The Sims 4
Hello I am experiencing the "Invalid License" error when trying to launch The Sims 4. I've tried several solutions, but the issue persists. Here are the steps I've already taken: Updated Microsoft Visual C++. Updated my system drivers. Uninstalled and reinstalled both The Sims 4 and the EA App. Performed a clean boot on Windows. Ran the EA App as an administrator. Checked the Electronic Arts > EA Services folder, but it is empty. Despite these efforts, the error still occurs. I'd appreciate any advice or additional solutions to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!Freezing and/or lagging for long period of time after update
