Won't load from EA app or game shortcut
I feel like I'm going to start ripping my hair out, so please anyone who can help. I've been trying to open Sims4 since yesterday around 8pm. Every time, it says I need to repair. When I repair, the EA app disappears and the game never loads. I have repaired. Restarted my PC . Reinstalled. Restarted. Disabled all custom content. Repaired. Restarted. Repaired. Repaired. Repaired, started, never loaded. Looked at my computer, checked to see if it needed defragged or had issues. Reinstalled windows. Updated all my drivers. Reinstalled the EA app. I live in the rural rural area of Ohio and my only internet is a hotspot, you can't IMAGINE how long reinstalling took me. Did it again! Repaired. Twice! Restarted. NOPE. I've spent so much money. I have all these expansions on my PS5 and repurchased them here just so I could play on a laptop instead. I've been playing 25 years, I bought 25 anniversary swag! I know this game. I know how to troubleshoot this game. I cannot figure it out. Please help.
Issues with loading/starting TS4
Hello! I'm having an issue loading my Sims 4 game at all... When I go to load it, I get the pop-up in the image. I've tried a few things like verifying file integrity and mod managers, but sadly it's not working for me. I have over 35k mods (yes, i know, a lot-) and when I disable my mods, the game will load, so I'm very sure it's a mod. Wondering if anyone can confirm having the same issue before, and if you have any tips on fixing this? I've heard about the 50/50 thing for your mods folder, but I suppose I'm looking for any alternatives, or really just any help in general. Thank you!
Game won't load
My game won't load, basically. When I click the play button it opens and gets to the loading plumbob screen, but then right before it takes me to the main menu the music stops playing and the game crashes, sending me back to the EA app. I just updated my game today, also. And I removed my mods folder and started the game up again to see if that was the issue, but it did the same exact thing, so I don't think the problem lies there, but here is my dxdiag:Sims 4 starts to open then crashes
My sims game starts to open then goes to the loading plumbob. It will spin freeze then crash before ever even getting to the main start screen. I have removed mods folder still crashes. I tried removing saves folder and it still crashes. I even updated my Ryzen 3 driver and my nvidia geforce gtx driver. Still nothing. I play on PC Windows 10 please help me I have so much work on there I don't wanna lose my family. I have attached dxdiag. it wont let me upload last crash so I will copy and paste it in comments.NEW COMPUTER
Hello! So, I just got a new laptop, I plan to use it solely for sims until I go back to school. It's the HP - Spectre 2-in-1 16" 2.8K OLED Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 - 1TB SSD and I was just wondering if the Intel Core Ultra 7 would struggle to run the sims and effect my gameplay? I use mods and CC and I know it's not the same as the i5 or i7 which is the recommended spec. Also, what graphics settings would be best?
sims 4 refuses to open
redownloaded the sims 4 on my new pc but it refuses to open the game. there’s an error code that pops up everytime now. zero mods on this computer. i’ve repaired the ea app, repaired the sims 4, uninstalled and reinstalled. nothing. just the same stupid error code. the game says it’s open in another location, which 100% not true i’ve never had an issue with the ea app before. but this is infuriating.Origin ne marche pas... passer obligatoirement par EA app?
Bonjour, Je souhaites installer les SIMS 4 avec le CD d'installation. Cependant, cela installe Origin qui est remplacé par EA app. Je suis donc passée par EA app. J'ai le raccourci du jeu sur mon bureau mais quand je clic dessus, cela m'indique que je dois me connecter avec Origin. Origin ne marche pas. Cela veut dire que je n'ai pas besoin du CD et que je dois systématiquement passer par EA app? Merci
Cannot launch Sims 4
From 5/2/25, I have been unable to get into my game on my PC (which is fairly new and has all the necessary specs to run the app.) The launch begins, runs through about 2 seconds of spinning plumbobs and wot not, then just blips back to the start. I have repaired, unistalled, and reinstalled the app. I've cleared the cache, tried loading with mods (custom content) disabled. The result is the same whether I'm going online or off. It simply won't launch the game. The last time I tried to uninstall, the EA app wasn't even showing on the apps list. (Oddly, Sims 4, Paranormal, and Snowy Escape were listed (weird) but I'm afraid to uninstall them (I own other packed, btw) because knowing EA those packs will disappear forever from my catalog even if this stupid bug is resolved. And I can't uninstall from the pin on the desktop, either, because trying that just takes me into my listing of apps and there's no EA app there. I find myself wishing some of the people who make Sims content for money will have the same problem; maybe then it would get some attention. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?Missing Resources
I have recently run into a problem where my game will say "missing resources" and act as id I have broken cc for IN GAME packs like Knifty Knitting and Moschino Stuff. I have tried deleting all mods and cc to see if that was the issue and it wasn't, I also have the game updated to the latest version. How do I fix this issue?!!!!Add-ons Not Working
I cannot play any saved games since the switchover to EA because they all have expansion packs & add-ons. When I try to launch it, it says I need to download them. So, I go to "manage add-ons" and they all say they are installed, so I'm not sure what to do but it's really annoying. This is on top of it taking all day and countless attempts at even getting this game to work through EA. So frustrating for the amount of time & money I've put into this game.
Game crashing continuously.
I upgraded my RAM and got a new SSD a month ago. Everything was fine until 48 hours ago. Game started crashing during CAS. Then during Build and Buy. Now I cannot even start the game without getting a white screen of death. Ctr + Alt + Del has never worked for me. I already deleted all mods, repaired the game several times even uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I’m lost. I’m not really a tech person and this is making want to rip the skin off my face D: Any advice is greatly appreciatedMods and other issues
I recently downloaded Examsoft for school, after doing so my computer was completely changed from settings to background. This download stopped me from opening the sims and other apps on my computer. I was only able to fix this issue by running that app as admin and then a few things went back to normal. I somewhat had that issue fix then I went to open my sims 4 is would open but only in the background. so i uninstalled the game from my computer and my external hard drive. I reinstalled the game and redownloaded my mods. The game did open as normal but now I have a blue and yellow shield on the sims logo on my desktop screen. All of my save files are gone I'm sure there is no way to get them back, but once the game started the pop up came up letting me know that my mods are in the game, but once I created a sim and picked the a household none of the mods are working. I know they are installed correctly and up to date since I redownloaded them just be sure. I have read the other forms and followed the directions but nothing is working. Also I have repaired the game a few times still not working. Please Help
Game crashes when loading into any lot
Title says it all, whenever I try to load in a lot, either for live mode or even to build buy mode, the game completely crashes before I have the chance to do anything I've tried various solutions to fixing my game: removing all mods, repairing the game, restarting my pc, but the problem persisted. I tried recovering my save to before this problem began, but the same thing occurred. I was able to play the game when removing all my sims 4 files from my documents to my computer, but once I moved my save file into the game, it began crashing again. I'm thinking it could be a problem with my save, but I've never run into this problem with any save before, so I don't know how to fix it. I'm attaching two crash reports below, one with the mods I have installed, and one without.game won't even start, tried multiple things and wont work.
i downloaded the game yesterday and it downloaded for three hours, and I went got mods and custom content for it while it downloaded then the next day I went to go play and it kept saying "if you have mods installed, please remove them and try again. if not please repair or reinstall the game via origin." I did the mods and custom content first. took it all out and tried playing again but that popper up again so then i tried repairing the game, that also didn't work, so then I reinstalled took THREE HOURS and STILL WONT WORK, I'm upset and i just want to play, took so long to do all of this for it ALL to still not work. I'm still not sure what to do.Infant - Started to crawl and now no one can Interact with it
I do not have any mods, but have almost all of the releases and packs. I most recently got the Storybook Nursery pack. I have a family of four with an infant and a toddler. All interactions have worked without issue until my infant just started crawling. Now no one can interact with her, they just wave their hands in the air. I'm using the fill needs for household trait because I can't feed her and don't want her taken away. I've tried changing table, bathtub, change outfit, bottle feed, breastfeed, explore new foods, change diaper - none of them work. Tried it with both adults in the household.
