Black screen after loading screen.
The game acts like it's going to open normally but then it is just a completely black screen. I have tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling, deleted the localthumbfilescache, synced my one drive, renamed the Sims 4 document folder to sims 4 old. Oh and I cleared my mods folder I did that first. Nothing has made any difference the game is completely broken and I'm so frustrated I could cry.Sims 4 license error
Hello, I'm having a persistent license error with The Sims 4 and nothing I've tried has fixed it. Here's what happened: - I downloaded and launched The Sims 4 successfully once. - After that I reinstalled Windows on my PC. - I reinstalled EA App and downloaded The Sims 4 again. - Now every time I try to launch it, I get a license error. What I have already tried: - Cleared the cache through EA App (as suggested by the error message) - Fully uninstalled and reinstalled EA App - Deleted The Sims 4 folder from Documents - Tried logging in via Google, Steam, and email/password — same result every time - Tried launching both through EA App and Steam - Tried with and without VPN Additional info: - I only have one EA account - The Sims 4 is visible in my EA App library - Another EA game (Need for Speed: Most Wanted) launches without any issues from the same account - The issue started specifically after the Windows reinstall It seems like the license is not being properly restored to my account after the system reinstall. Could you please manually reset or restore the license on your end? Thank you.
No memory Crash Issue
I've tried possibly EVERYTHING to fix this issue. Legit going insane at this point ahhh, usually i wouldn't care but i'm in my sims mood again and I've spent a lot of money on this game as well. It will start up and then get to the loading screen and then will freeze once the sim symbol gets next to the S, I will hear the music for a bit and then it crashes and pops up with "Unable to start: The game has run out of memory. [223471fd:0d5ce4eb:000000c8:00000000]. If anyone could pass down some wisdom and help a fella out with ideas to me I would really appreciate it!My packs are all missing from the new update that I had for years
So I’m wondering what’s going on cause as I turn my game login in he says I don’t have any of my packs that I had for years cause of this **bleep** update. Like I been playing the sims for the longest and for the update to just say I don’t have any packs is insane EA you guys need to do something about this cause it’s not fair at all to people who already sent their money for things.help me choose
Hello, i’m looking for a new pc bc my laptop can't hold up anymore and i was wondering, is the new iMac a good option for sims 4? considering i want to play with pretty much all the expansions + mods / cc? o should i get a standard gaming pc?

PLEASE HELP! game keeps crashing after exiting CAS
current game version: 1.121.372.1220 playing on a mac desktop that hasn’t been updated due to storage if that matters lol. tons of cc & mods, about 10,000 files/packages im new to playing on pc/mac & cc, mods etc. any mod thats free to download i pretty much have installed in my game lol. hi, im currently playing offline due to people saying the new update(s) caused issues so since the feb/march update i have been playing offline. but about 2 days ago i got a notification while playing saying to “log back in” because the ea app no longer recognizes me so i was forced to update the EA app. i, again, didn’t update the sims 4 game so i just continued playing offline. i was fine playing up until i’d say 11:30 pm april 17 to today (1 am currently). i was in CAS just fine, added a shirt to my sim then exited CAS just fine. then i downloaded chingyu’s 100 traits mod, loaded my game late yesterday, went into CAS & added some traits to the current household i was playing with. exited CAS where my game then crashed. i figured it was the chingyu mod (people said their game was working fine so i decided to try..) so i removed it & downloaded a mod from a different creator (traits mod by klimter & maplebell also morekisses mod by maplebell) did the same thing, went into CAS, left then crash. removed all of those new mods i downloaded & the same thing happened :( i really dread having to do the 50/50 mod especially now that i have over 10k files of mods & cc. if i do then so be it. but i genuinely don’t know what the issue is. i also got a LE each time i loaded into that save “Server\objects\components\fishing_location_component.py” i have no idea what that means. no broken mods were listed nor did it say why & what mod or cc caused it, if it did i again dont know how to read it. :( struggling trying to understand the LE texts & cant send these problems into any discord server due to “outdated game version” which is understandable, but again theres been issues with the recent update & i haven’t updated my mods since the feb or march update. if i need to send the lastcrash.txt, gameversion or any LE scripts please let me know! if anyone knows what causes this or why its crashing please help!!! any help would be appreciated!! thank u in advance. <3My Sims 4 start problem solved!!
Remember when my Sims 4 game wouldn't start earlier? What I did was this: I just restarted my PC and then shut down and turned it back on. The "Manage Game Download" thing for the base game was now back to normal, so it worked! Thanks to the internet search I did. I consider that problem solved, in case this ever happens again (for now).
Fail to launch the game after the update
Yesterday's update broke my game, I can't even play my game now. I play with mods in my game, I know the whole thing what to do before updating with mods and after. I removed all my mods from my folder and deleted the old MC expection. and update my mods after the update. without the mod, I did the test run without any mods, everything looked fine then I exited the game without saving. I add back my mods in the game when I want to move my sims to a new house. I get a warning that says " can't load needed to relaunch the game". so I did but when I did the same thing I got the same warning so I removed my mods and repaired them without my mods. I checked the second time it was giving the same warning. I didn't know what to do I repaired my game and even restarted my computer and nothing is working. My game was fine before the update now I can't even play the game.
Can’t load into saves
Hello! When wanting to play my usual household today it was like I had started a new save file, having to choose the season again and not having any of my sims in any world. So I closed the game again and tried to play almost every saved game/households but none of them worked. I thought it might be a mod/cc problem but I took them all out of the game and it still didn’t work. I also took out all my saves, repaired the game multiple times, and put them back in again. At some point I couldn’t even load into a new world cus I was stuck in the loading screen. My game worked just fine yesterday and it updated in the morning today and that’s when the issue started. Did anyone have the same problem before and if yes what did you do to repair it? Or if anyone has some tips please let me know! Thank you beforehand ^^
Sims 4 saying I can’t place something in my own gallery saying I don’t own packs
I was playing my game last night and it crashed all of a sudden, which I haven’t had issues with in a long time. I reopened it and redid the stuff I had done and hit save but later it crashed again and then as I was trying to place a lot that I had saved in my gallery that I have used before a warning message pops up, saying I do not own pack items included in the lot and after hitting place anyway, nothing shows up and is doing the same again today. Has anyone else found a solution to this problem? I own all the packs I have gone in and double check to make sure they were all installed and they are. I just had this lot on my game until it crashed and now I’m saying I can’t put down any lot because I don’t know the items in the packs when I do. Any help is appreciated! I really don’t want to reinstall this entire game because I’m going to lose a lot of progressGame not loading after Windows update - Again 🤬
I'm sick of this. It's always, "disable your mods", etc. I don't have mods. I just want to play the game, not be a computer programmer. I always waste at least a month of my life trying to fix this and lose everything I created only to have to start again. I'm seriously sick of not being able to count on being able to play the Sims when I click on it.No sims in my game
I just started playing my game again but I kept getting "error sism4 already running". I was able to get the game to work by making a new account on my computer but then when i loaded up the game there are absolutely no sims in my game. I created a sim and put her on a lot and it said error restart game and after that I have no sim. She's not at her lot, there are no base game sims assigned lots. I can't even travel because I don't have any sims. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
