Error Code 110:dc9d1b8c:def8b958
I haven't played my save in a handful of months and I have cleared/ ran through updating a good chunk of my Mods. I've been using tools made by the community to possibly even catch the errors as they occur and nothing conclusive has been found. I did the handy 50/50 method and that was an auto fail also. I can pretty much do everything except go into Live mode on a lot with my Sims. I can build and CAS for hours on end with zero issue. But as soon as Live mode hits that error code pops. I'll have to report back on how it runs without CC but so far removing all my cc is causing the longest load screen I've had during this entire processSolvedinutrasha946 days agoRising Novice64Views0likes5Comments
Game Crashing/Closing
After a failed update and repair then an successful update, the game would open followed by a moment of the screen freezing then the screen would go dark and open to my desktop. When I would open it again, the game would open without issue but the screen would show HDMI input at the top right corner. It would just repeat of freezing after two seconds then close. I repaired four times and same outcome. Updated drivers to see if that helped, cleared out the thumbnail cache and remove CC/Mods. I can't record due to the game crashing so quickly as my Xbox record software requires the game to be open and operational.SolvedRebelGoddex6 days agoSeasoned Newcomer37Views0likes2Comments
Does anyone know how to fix this???
So my game is like broken and won't open. I've tried to open it thru Steam and the EA app, but the same things happen. It starts to load, shows the Sims 4 title screen and starts loading the screen with tips/tricks. After that it just completely stops and closes itself. I've tried repairing the app, restarting my PC, deleting mods that i could remember we broken. Nothing is working and i haven't found any solutions online, can anyone please help 🥲Solved92Views3likes4Commentspop up telling me a build item has been removed because I don't own it
I opened my game for the first time in a while and got this pop up message, telling me one build item has been removed because I don't own it? I have no idea what item it's referring to, or how I could suddenly not own something on the same account that I've been using for years Anyone know how to fix this?Solved86Views0likes7Comments
Abnormal game boot-up, is there anything I could do???
Ever since the release of the Life & Death update, my game began to boot up in an unusual way, before crashing the game after 10 seconds of reaching the end of the game's boot up animation. Clarification: -After opening the game, the game froze into a black screen for two seconds before continuing onto its intro animation, but no audio played throughout. [Clear sign of an abnormal boot-up.] -At the end of the animation, the game froze up until, eventually, turning into a black screen and crashing afterwards. [Sometimes, even after crashing, it won't redirect me to the EA App after the ordeal.] I've honestly tried everything at this point. Reinstalling, temporarily removing mods and safe files, and even disabling the game packs I've already purchased. I even contacted Steam and they weren't able to fix the issue. Is there any way I could fix this or face the inevitable fact that I can't play the game again after spending 100+ hours on this game? Please, any help is appreciated. I've spent almost an year to fix this fatal bug.Solved
The Sims 4 keeps crashing
Just as the title says, my game keeps crashing. There doesn't seem to be a consistant pattern to the crashes. I can sometimes play for up to 40mins before a crash or as little as a minute. Once it crashed the moment the main menu appeared. I have updated my drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled both the Sims and the EA app multiple times, tried the repair button multiple times, restarted my computer, Windows is fully updated, and even tried deleting my old save files thinking it was corrupted. Deleting the save files actually let my game run on the main menu without crashing for multiple hours but after I started a new save file, the crashes started again. I also do not have any mods downloaded. My computer is also brand new and this is the first time I've played it since I downloaded it onto this computer. Please help.Solveddragonian23213 days agoSeasoned Novice280Views2likes11Comments
Game Crashing after Reinstall 2x (w error files attached)
this is without custom content clearly as i've tried to start with a clean slate 2 times already. they game loads up fine sometimes it crashes 5 minutes in ( i have a 64g ram with my 4090 graphics card). i have already tried the safe boot route as well. nothing is working. the crash happens 5 minutes after loading up a household. i've tried lowering video settings (that seemed to help it last 10 minutes but it crashed....) i loaded it back up with the lowervideo settings and it still crashed after 5 minutes.Solved
My sims 4 genuinely just doesn't work
This is the first time a problem has been so bad that I've had to go towards other resources to help, if I'll even get an answer in a reasonable time. Every time I try to open the sims 4 via steam, it says it's preparing the game, before it closes and opens my EA app. When I try opening the game via EA app, it does the same thing. I've cleared my Cache, I've reinstalled EA two times, I've verified my files and game, I've done mod scans, I've updated my EA app, I've cleared my EA app cache twice, I do not understand what the issue is. I've been at this for nearly an hour as of typing this, and it's constantly just aggravating me. There have been no error messages or anything that can even hint at what the issue is, and I don't want something that involves moving or going through files because I have literal thousands of those and I would hate to go through that catastrophe just for it to not work. Is this normal?? I want to fix it ASAP, it's so annoying.Solved75Views1like5CommentsGame cashes w/o mods

Crashing to desktop constantly, last attempt to fix it.
Hey 🙂 This is the first time I write a post so I hope I'm doing it correctly, but yeah I'm desperate. I got a new computer last year in July, and since then every time I play sims 4, my game crashes to desktop. Sometimes up to 6 times in a 1 hour gaming session. Ive tried everything to fix this. Ive checked that windows and my graphics driver where up to date, I've tried running the game in Direct X 9. Ive repaired, and reinstalled the game, reinstalled the EA app, checked for file corruption. Ive even made sure that my one drive isn't connected to my Game in any way. So here I am crossing my fingers, and sending a little prayer out that someone can help me fix this. I love playing the game, and its devastating to constantly lose my game play unexpectedly. I try to save all the time, but its not fun fearing that I might have another crash 10 mins from now, or 30. I don't have any mods installed. I added a dxdiag text. Have a wonderful day 🙂SolvedMissFaylyn17 days agoSeasoned Novice173Views1like10CommentsSims 4 - Stuck on Blue Screen before loading in
Hi I'm new around here and this is my first time writing a discussion so don't judge me. Whenever I try to boot up Sims 4 it shows this screen (the image above) and stays on this screen for a solid 30 seconds before loading in. This never use to happen as before it used to load in instantly after the Plumbob goes away, but now it just stays on this screen and the music plays in the background. Eventually I load it but this never used to happen, so can someone help me out here and tell me what's wrong?SolvedMRB14117 days agoSeasoned Newcomer57Views0likes3Comments
CC Tray files not appearing in-game.
Hello! So I have been having this issue for months, basically if I download a house off the internet and place it in my tray folder correctly, it won't appear. But if I add a lot to my library via the gallery, it will appear. I have removed all my cc and repaired my game, and tested vanilla, and it still does not appear, and I want to fix this. Thank you! I will show pictures of my mods folder below and a screenshot of me ingame with Script mods and cc enabled, as well as in the gallery, and it still is not appearing.SolvedLifeOn_Sims417 days agoSeasoned Rookie318Views0likes35Commentsaffordable PC/Laptop recs?
Hi! First time posting on here and would appreciate any recommendations! I have played TS4 for years on my different generations of apple laptops. I don't know too much about the best specs for gaming computers but currently, I am using my personal MacBook I purchased in 2020. It has the Apple M1 chip with 8GB memory and 256GB of SSD storage. I only play TS4 on it and over the years, have almost all of the expansion packs and a handful of game packs, stuff packs, and kits. My laptop can run the game with limited lag, however, it can sometimes get really hot and if I play for too long, then the game begins to glitch and my sims do weird things. I also use this for my work and would rather not risk crashing my personal/work laptop. I am looking to get a laptop or desktop that I will use just for playing TS4 so I do not need anything super high end and would prefer to stay under $700, if possible. I tend to "play on the go" but if a desktop is the better deal/set up, I am not against a tower. I'd like to have better graphics and have the ability to download additional EPs or DLC, without compromising my gameplay or laptop. I do not use mods or CC as of right now. The only mods I would like to download with my future computer are MCCC and T.O.O.L. mod. Other than that, I tend to play the game pretty mod/cc free. Thank you to anyone who may provide some help with this!Solvedsarakemi18 days agoRising Novice83Views0likes10Comments

i’ve been having issues for the past multiple weeks with the sims. it never launches and i’ve tried everything and have tried soo many times. it seems like it runs in the background as task manager says it’s running, and so does steam and EA. i can’t bring it to the front, i’ve repaired multiple times, removed all mods, checked if there were any ID conflicts or if anything was corrupted, i’ve installed and uninstalled multiple times, aswell as deleting it from steam and only using it through EA and it still won’t run, and within these past two weeks it’s only ran maybe three times max. i’m not running it as admin and have checked my drivers and updated everything. if anyone knows what i can do that would be such a big help, im at a complete lossSolvedStarrliar20 days agoSeasoned Newcomer89Views0likes3Comments
