sim's wont pick up or take care of child, and wont respond
Hi, Im having trouble with my sims, they wont pick up, or interact with one child but the will pick up and take care of another or will completely ignore both children. they will either accept the task or they will go near the child and then have an idea to do something different like sleep or go outside. I am also having trouble with another sims family, the sims will only stay in the bathroom and browse the web, and wont respond to anything. any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried repairing the game multiple times, and that hasn't worked either. I really don't want to uninstall the app, and Ive heard uninstalling might help, but I only want to do that as a last resort. I've also tried restarting my computer as well. I got a few new mods yesterday so I don't know if that is an issue, or caused an issue? thanks.4Views0likes0CommentsThis Game is a joke and EA should be ashamed
If there is even a human left on the payroll to feel shame, which I doubt. I have most of the packs. OVER AND OVER AGAIN I have spent hours playing, building up characters only to have them mysteriously vanish from the map. They are in my gallery but supposedly can't be moved to the map. No fixes available online work at all. When I try to use the tech support from the menu it just takes me to an error page. I have tried every solution I can find and nothing works. What is the point of paying all that money for games that literally do not work? Spending hours on a scenario just to log in the next day and it's all gone? I'm done. It's not worth it. EA is a scam and all that money we have all paid for glitchy barely functioning content should be refunded. What an absolute joke. But they can spam my email constantly wanting me to buy more. The constant pop ups seem to function just fine. But emails to "tech support" go unanswered or are obviously canned useless copy paste from I guess a bot? Pathetic.24Views0likes0CommentsRecently purchased pack not showing up in my library
I recently just bought 3 add-ons through the "bundle" promotion, and the werewolves and supernatural packs downloaded with no issue, but the For Rent pack never showed up in my library. I have gone into my manage add-ons, and it is not there, and I have "repaired" my game, and that also did not fix it. I am feeling frustrated because that pack was the bulk of the money in the discount, so I want to know how to access it. In the shop, it still lets me add the pack in my cart and proceed with purchasing. I do have a receipt saying I purchased all 3.7Views0likes0CommentsExpansion Pack not synced to PC from PS4
My cats and dogs expansion pack was bought from my ps4. I logged onto my EA account with my ps4 log in and the EA app uses steam to launch the app. It seems like it uses a different account and no past saves or packs are there? How can I get the expansion packs onto the game?6Views0likes0CommentsSims 4 Video Card Not recognized

Was just playing for a little bit, doing my usual post-game repairs, and 11 packs are suddenly no longer listed in my library. The ones that are left aren't packs I enjoy playing with necessarily, so it's extra galling to suddenly see them listed when the packs I like aren't. Like, you had to take Get to Work and Lovestruck and leave Vampires? Whatever.zeezee852 days agoSeasoned Traveler13Views0likes0CommentsSims 4 packs unavailable in game?
So yesterday I bought both the high school years and seasons pack from the EA app. i downloaded both of them but when i went into the game only high school years was running and not seasons. I checked the pack selection and seasons was up under the 'owned packs' category but when i tried to press it it said it was unavailable. does anyone know how to fix this? i've cleared the EA app cache, repaired the app, and restarted EA but nothing has helpedbakr39niiweh2 days agoSeasoned Newcomer21Views0likes0CommentsI lost my game data- How do I restore?
Sometime yesterday I was having a problem with my Sims 4 game. I would try to go onto the game but my PC would give me the message “Unable to start, the file appears corrupted.” As one would do, I researched how to get my game to load and came to the conclusion that it was probably an issue with my cache. I cleared the cache for the most part, and then started patching the game. (I use Steam to launch the Sims so I went through the “Verify integrity of game files” process.) Now I’m not a super tech savvy person, so I’m not sure what exactly when wrong along the way but I followed exactly what it said to do on a forum I found. So when I go to play the Sims 4 this morning it takes me to the Main Menu, per usual. However, it only gives me the “new game” option and won’t let me retrieve the game I spent 200+ hours on. It launches perfectly fine now, but like I said, my game is gone. What did I do wrong along the way? Is there anything that can be done to retrieve my game?ppga8t21jn2n2 days agoSeasoned Newcomer19Views0likes0CommentsSims 4 Endless Loading Screen

I recently added a new expansion pack to my collection, it was horse ranch. Ever since my sims keep getting stuck. I assign them tasks to do or things to do and they all just stand there. Eventually once ive reset everyone it works again but it keeps happening which is frustrating!LahLahX2 days agoSeasoned Rookie19Views0likes0CommentsMy game keeps crashing randomly !
Hey, so my game has been crashing for a while. There is no specific action or thing I do that makes it crash it just does and it's making my gameplay so draining and I keep losing progress if I dont save in time. I don't know if it has anything to do with mods, cc or just my pc in general. I have windows 11 and I play on a AMD mini PC. I can send more info if you need it but please help me figure this out because I've had enough of this. I've attached my dxdiag.nellyrozayy3 days agoSeasoned Novice70Views1like5CommentsProblem with Packs pucharsed on diffrent apps in The Sims 4 ( Steam and EA)

I recently bought a brand new laptop and reinstalled the whole game from scratch on it. The loading screen just stays on forever and eventually I have to open Task Manager to get out of the game. I've read other threads about this issue and have followed a lot of the advice there. I don't have any mods installed. I've deleted the thumbcache file, totally deleted OneDrive from my computer (not that I ever even activated it on my new machine), turned off various gaming settings in Windows, repaired the game through the Origin app, and completely removed and reinstalled everything twice. I have no idea what else I should do at this point. I'd love to hear any ideas. Thanks.Solved95Views0likes4Comments
