Problème d'apparence
Bonjour, je rencontre un petit soucis, j'ai modifié l'apparence d'un sims sauf que dès que je vais sur terrain autre que mon foyer il reprend son apparence initial. Comment faire ? Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà eu ce soucis ?noemie8058046 minutes agoSeasoned Newcomer4Views0likes0CommentsTransferred to new pc and saying I don’t own any dlc? (played for 7+ years)
So back in march i got a new pc, and at first it seemed okay. I took a break and then when i reopened sims in june, all my dlcs were gone. I’ve looked in my files and they’re still there (I can attach screenshots if necessary) but just not appearing in game? They all appear with the prices next to them to purchase in app, but I have bought all of them. I contacted EA help and they requested a hefty list of receipts. I’ve managed to find a few receipts (about 13 of 25), but as i’ve been playing about 7 years now it’s been difficult. Are there other ways of fixing this issue?3Views0likes0CommentsSims 4 refuses to connect to the Gallery
For the past 2 days, my sims 4 has simply been unable to connect to the gallery, as the title says. It brings up the prompt to connect, so i click connect, and then it just brings this image up and it never goes away. I left my pc running all night last night with this, and I gave up when I saw my monitor this morning displaying the same thing. I use mostly Curseforge for custom content and mods, and I'd initially thought that the CC was the issue, so I'd disabled custom content in settings and restarted the game early on in my attempts, but to no avail. It just won't connect to the gallery. Any solutions that I try to search up are over 4 years old and probably outdated/have different solutions considering they all still mention Origin and not the EA App.3Views0likes0CommentsGame crash after update
I am sure there are other posts on this and I am sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere else. I have been struggling to get the game to run since the update in April. I have tried all sorts of things mentioned in various fora, including removing mods, updating Windows, performing a clean install, repairing the game, updating and rolling back graphics card drivers etc. The game just kept crashing after a few minutes during gameplay, even after a completely fresh install without any mods or cc. I thought it was an issue with the Nvidia graphics card drivers. Needless to say, this is a quite powerful gaming PC, only purchased 3 months ago. Before the updates I did not have this issue and I am using a LOT of mods and cc. After lots of research and a painful two weeks of not being able to play the game, I found the solution! I updated my bios firmware and boom! The game started running smoothly again with all mods and cc. It has been more than 24 hours that I left the game on and no issues yet. I hope this helps fellow gamers who may be facing a similar issue. Just to conclude, I really don't see the point in constantly updating a game, which has been around for more than 10 years and breaking things, but I am sure EA will know the reason. Happy gaming everyone!09-35-4204-04-1117 days agoRising Newcomer19Views0likes0CommentsCannot start up after recent update-SOLVED

First of all... I have no mods installed at all.... I took Everything out .... I have repaired my game..... I can not play in windowed full screen once changed to it it makes the game flicker almost to fast for the eye to see and then the screen goes white and everything is gone but you can still hear the menu music. I gave up on windowed full screen and made a new sim in full screen, the moment I was done and ready to put her down in the game it crashes. I have restarted it a billion times and can not put her down or anyone. The game is unplayable. Help? I have spent alot of money on all these expansions to not be able to play today!nolitanoila2 months agoSeasoned Newcomer482Views0likes0CommentsAudio Quiet Since 2 SDXs Ago
(I searched a lot to find this issue and could not.) 2 SDXs ago (during the event) The Sims 4 (for PC) began loading very quietly. I have to crank the volume, then all other programs default to overly loud. I just stopped playing due to the low volume, but finally removed my mods to test the sound; it's still ongoing. No save game is required to test, the loading music is enough to hear (or barely hear). *ETA* I tried repairing and reinstalling.simmerLella4 months agoSeasoned Ace29Views0likes0CommentsCrashing
My game has been crashing since the recent base game update with burglars. I have tried repairing the game. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I do not use mods or cc. Please fix the game. I have to save often or I lose all my progress. It is very annoying.Majicplumbob5 months agoNew Novice30Views0likes0CommentsGame crashed within 5mins or less since lastest update
Since the last update I cannot play the sims4 without my screen freezing, turning black & then coming back on before the whole game crashes, all within 5 mins or less of playing and also losing any progress made in those few minutes. Help! I thought it may have been my computer the other day, but it's only when I try to open the sims.LMS5175 months agoRising Newcomer58Views0likes0CommentsScreen Going Dark At the start of the game during gameplay

Latest Update Broke Game
I've never had an issue with crashing or freezing for longer than a few minutes before the latest update. Since this update, I have to same my game every few minutes because the game could crash at any time. Whenever my sim tries travel there's a high chance the game will crash. I have no mods or CC installed. I tried clearing my cache from my compute, from the EA app, repairing the game, but nothing seems to fix the crashing and freezing.MnkeyB6 months agoSeasoned Newcomer28Views0likes0CommentsObjects causing game to crash
RESOLVED I have in the past seen people having issues with their cabinets crashing their game. I tried adding "dx11" and "dx12" to the "Advanced launch options" box - but with no results. My game keeps crashing when attempting to place certain items. I have seen this with a few specific objects including some showers, some beds, and currently most or all cabinets. I understand that the DxDiag file may be useful, so that should be attached here. RESOLVED: After a few hours of looking through my things, I noticed that my DxDiag still had issues with sims crashing due to running on dx9. I did my research and figured I should've written "-dx11". It seems to work now.annevillum6 months agoNewcomer49Views0likes0CommentsPixellated Box Appears when Volume Adjusted
When I adjust my volume (and sometimes my brightness) on my PC, a little pixellated box of many colours appears at the bottom of my game where the volume box had been. I have repaired all my game files, but this issue persists. This does not happen in any other application on my computer, so I know it is a game issue, not an equipment issue. It does not always happen, but when it does, I have to exit and restart the game to make it go away. It disappears as soon as I exit the game. I do not have any mods.43Views0likes0CommentsCAS crashing
CAS crashes every time I exit. I removed all mods and deleted localthumbcashe and it's still happening. Tried on a new save, did not crash upon initial character creation but if I went in to edit that new sim or any other sim it crashes. Saves that existed prior to update also do this. This began after most recent update. I see other people had a similar issue 3-4 months ago and it was determined to be mod issues, but as I mentioned this is still happening with no mods on my game.riahdawn7779 months agoRising Newcomer67Views0likes0Commentslaptop for sims
