no expansion packs in the game library
Hey, recently I got sixteen years old and when I turn on my game, EA managed me to create a teenager account so I did it (with same email) I excepted that I will have my earlier expansion packs in library but I didn’t have. I did a lot of guides from Internet how to get back my supplies but no one helped me :( What can I do to get it back? Please help me I spent a lot of money on it :(17Views0likes1CommentLaptop/desktop Recommendations
Hey everyone, I've been browsing through some forums related to my question, but I ended up more confused. Here's my situation: I currently own a Windows Surface Pro 2, and it can run the Sims 4 alone (given that I don't have any other game on the device). However, as soon as I try to add even the smallest custom content/mods, I run out of storage and the game runs terribly. I really want to get back into playing the Sims, but my current laptop is just not cutting it. I would appreciate some recommendations for the best or better laptops/desktops out there. I am looking for a computer with a lot of storage capacity because I enjoy playing Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and plan to play more games in the future. I want exceptional graphics and sound quality, as well as fast loading times with minimal lag. I understand that these features will increase the cost, but I want a computer that will last a long time. My budget is $2000, and while I appreciate good aesthetics, I prioritize quality over appearance. Thank you :) **If it is a desktop/the budget includes the keyboard and monitor (but I can compromise on that). **Lyana225 days agoNew Novice124Views1like9CommentsGame still crashing
My Sims 4 is still unplayable after patch update. I've waited a few weeks to play, as I use Mods. I've updated all my mods and game was crashing, so I removed the mods, no change. Last night I was getting so sick of it, I even uninstalled the game (play via steam) copied my save and tray files to desktop and deleted all files. I reinstalled and copied saves/ trays back in and game still crashed Only places I've noticed it does it more is in build mode, I have no bar at bottom, Sims is glitchy when walking and if open phone to call, it crashes. I've purchased the new expansion pack and not even been able to play it!! Any ideas?

Soooo I logged into my account with no dlc on my pc to create a base game build. It's just easier to make sure that I don't accidentally add in something that isn't base game. Because...I would. However, when I logged back into my main account, my game is now having to re-download the 14 gigs of dlc and for some reason it's just...so slow. I am not sure why logging into a completely different steam account and ea account would cause my main account's dlc to be uninstalled? Dunno, but I thought I should mention it because hopefully this can be prevented from happening again! Even I don't have time to wait ten hours for weirdly uninstalled dlc to reinstall lol.

Whenever EA puts out a game update, I don't update immediately and switch to playing offline for a week or more (depending on how bad it is) while I wait for mods to be updated and for the worst of the new bugs and glitches to be resolved. I've done this since the EA App was released without issue. So the EA App updated shortly before the 7/23 game update and when I went to play offline last night, I discovered I suddenly couldn't. I click on "go offline" and it shows Sims 4 as an installed game, but now when I click play, instead of launching the game offline as usual, I'm getting an error message telling me that the game license has expired and that I need to launch the game to renew the license and gives the Error Code: EC:204. I've never had this issue before. So now I cannot play the game at all as I've seen how lit it is out on the bug report forum and there's no way I'm updating my game right now with all the issues the patch has created. And I can't go "online" with the game without it automatically pushing the update. Is anyone else having this issue with playing offline right now? And is anyone aware of a work around? (Note: I have already logged out and back in, uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App, cleared the cache, restarted my PC, and ensured by XBox and EA accounts aren't linked (they never were).)ChelleBelle71627 days agoSeasoned Novice254Views6likes9CommentsGame Freezes after August 8 Patch Update

After the new patch update yesterday, I can no longer save my game or open that menu up to do anything. Another big issue I'm facing is, every time I go to manage worlds or create a sim, my screen goes black and does nothing. The strange thing is I can still see my sims pictures down the bottom and interact with the environment around me, I just can't see what I'm interacting with. It's completely broken my game. I've verified the integrity of my game, restarted my pc and re-tried it this morning, but am still facing the same issues. I just have to keep closing my game via task manager every time because the black screen never disappears. I would also like to add, I don't have custom content or mods, so this isn't the issue for me.SolvedLil_Shroom1429 days agoSeasoned Traveler5.9KViews49likes73CommentsUpdate blocked by Antivirus
Has anyone else had an issue with their game crashing due to their antivirus? I spoke with mine this morning, trying to troubleshoot the issue, and apparently this isn't the first call they have recieved. I don't know if it's in the coding or what but I have done everything under the moon to solve it and it still crashes. It worked completely fine until this last update. So much for buying the new ep :( Yes, I know for a fact that it's my antivirus because I've spent 2 days testing everything- removing mods and saves, clearing cache, checking files, etc. I logged into the game with my antivirus off and it worked. I turned my antivirus back on and clicked into the gallery to see if it would crash and it did. So I test ran it again, this time leaving the antivirus off completely to see if it would let me into the gallery and that time it worked fine. The only work around I was given was to leave my VPN on and my antivirus off while playing the game but I don't know how comfortable I am with that.

Hi, I’m experiencing some random crashing for my game. It’s very odd because when others were complaining about their game randomly crashing my game was lucky and I didn’t have that problem. But it didn’t start randomly crashing into days after the update. My mods are all up to date I did add a few a day before the random crashing starting happening but the day I added the new mods my game didn’t crash, so I don’t think it’s the mods. I did try to do a new clean sims 4 but that did not help, it crashed. If my game crashed before there would be some sort of warning like a freeze or something before it says “sims 4 had stopped responding.” But now I don’t get any type of warning I’ll be on CAS and it’ll just crash out of no where.
