Game not functioning since new update
First I couldn't click on anything once I opened the child's simology panel, I couldn't scroll down on it which was the first thing I noticed was broken, then I couldn't open her inventory, switch to build mode of even save the game. After a restart the same thing happened so I restarted again and didn't go near her simology panel. However, I then was unable to get an adult sim to cook a cake, no options came up after clicking 'cook'. I tried to leave the world and go back in but it didn't work, and then the screen went black although the time was still ticking on. Please fix this ASAP as it's not playable! I have never played with mods or CC.
cas not opening since new update
whenever i try to get into cas it is just stuck at the loading screen, i saw someone else say it was happening to them and they removed the multiple columns mods and it worked after, i removed the mod, repaired the game and retared it multiple times and its still not working and just on the loading screen, is there anything else i can do to try to fix it?
*fixed*UI Bugs when opening the Simology Panel for teen/child-July 23rd Patch
Game UI bugs when I open the Simology panel for teens/kids already played including ones downloaded from the gallery that have saved skills/character values. The sims in question already have time played on them, their skill levels are up and character values are also up. When the UI bugs i am unable to travel, open up the game menu/settings and live mode. The only option that works is manage Worlds however it does not go out to the manage worlds screen once you save and exit or just exit. It remains as a black screen with sim icons and emotes going ( game is still running on the household) The bottom UI buttons for the sims themselves is fine to flip through, but if you'retrying to bring up a menu it goes no where eg on the phone to travel, bring up job options etc So far I have replicated the issue everytime in my game, noted below scenarios: Current household is one i downloaded from my gallery, the teens already had skills and character values against them. Added an elder to the household via create a sim to put them in the world. Elder sim similogy loaded without bugging, teen simology bugged the game. Loaded an old save with a teen sim in the family, opened a young adult, adult, elder and toddler simology panel- were fine teen however bugged out. Loaded an old save with a child in the household, both young adults Loaded fine but when I Loaded the child simology panel it glitches out. I am noting character values as when I get the teen/child simology panel opened, the top feature is their character values and they are going haywire by constantly changing when the teen/child themselves aren't doing anything. As long as I don't click simology the game runs fine (so far). This seems to be a bug with the new update and parenthood. I play without mods, I had to start fresh with a whole new sims 4 folder due to getting a constant error loading one of my sims family in my old sims 4 folder. However I did test this with both folders (clean slate and old saves)
dream home decorator career broken
Clients will not always leave the lot when they are supposed to: that doesn't hurt much besides gameplay. When I go into build/buy, the likes/dislikes do NOT show up in the box they're supposed to. It only shows a glitched blue colour swatch. I can still build to their preferences but can't click the icons to go directly to their liked items. I can always check the job panel for that but it's annoying to go in and out of live mode. The worst part, though, is the broken hug animation. When clients like the reno & hug my sim, their faces clip into each other. It looks like kissing while they hug. Normally that wouldn't bother me but the same glitch is happening with kids and teens too. Ew.
New Be Mean bug?
Since today's update (July 23, 2024) I noticed the sims in my game (both my sims and the other sims) are being mean for no reason. First, my sim's visiting best friend yelled at her, the next day my sim yelled at another best friend (I did not save this part), then later in the day my sim was about to insult the school principal (twice) (I was able to cancel out this action). I also saw other students insulting each other. My sim is a nice sim with a great reputation, so being mean is out of character for her. Has this happened to anyone else? How do I fix this? In 2022 there was an "auto insult bug" which someone had made a fix for. I am hoping someone can fix this! Thank you.
Update broke my game (July 24th)
The update has broken my game, works for a few minutes then breaks and I experience the following issues. Issues encountered: can't go to manage worlds, build mode, or cas - if manage worlds is opened screen simply goes black cant open menu to save/exit game cheat bar cannot be opened teenage sims simology panel broken (can't access, if opened upon loading game it doesn't show traits) once any panel is closed cannot open any relationship panel completely not accessible Note: I don't have any mods or cc, have repaired game multiple times
Cas stuck on loading screen.
Since the new update and me downloading Lovestruck everytime I try to go into cas it gets stuck on the loading screen and I have to restart my PC each time, I have went through my mods folder deleting cc and mods to try and figure out what's affecting it, I need some help with what mod may be crashing it. I deleted more colums mod, Height sliders, mc command center, UI cheats, all my eyelashes, Tool mod, Better build buy, and any traits that could mess it up. anything that may interfere, but it just won't open cas no matter what I do, am I missing anything?
After a romantic interaction all sims reset
Romantic interactions can take place but only one at a time. If one interaction takes place the sim resets. The sim loses any queued interaction. Other interactions, such as friendly can be used and queued without reset. It is only the romantic one, to clarify the interaction after (romantic) resets the sim regardless of what is or isn't queued. Furthermore, this prevents the follow up of Woohoo, once the interaction (romantic request of woohoo) takes place they reset, therefore no woohoo takes place. A side note within the save file, the files are not saving. I have followed instruction to remove the save file and find the corrupt one, however this has also continued to be an issue.

CAS STILL broken after newest update
Just came here to say, for the unfortunate 5th day in a row, that CAS is still causing my entire game to crash and I still have to force-exit through task manager (I describe the full issue in my previous post). Atp just give me my money back if I’m not allowed to play the game I paid money for. They’re not even addressing the CAS issue at all either, just the other bugs which they’ve already updated more than once. At least say you’re going to investigate this issue that hundreds of other people are experiencing instead of just ignoring it…
CAS Not Loading After Update
I just updated my game and when I went into my current household and went to CAS so I could see the new base game updates it wouldn't load. It was stuck on the plumbob loading screen no matter what I tried. I repaired the game which I've never had to do after an update and I updated the mods I had that could be updated so far. Has anyone else had this issue?Game Failed to Load Error when traveling
Anytime I try to travel to these specific locations, the game crashes, and the error 'Game failed to load' pops up. San Myshuno - Stargazer Lounge Britechester - Pepper's Pub Copperdale - Thriftea Ciudad Enamorada - Laguna del Abrazo If I travel to other locations within these worlds it's fine, but when it's the specific places mentioned above, the game crashes and gives me that error. *Note: I do not have any mods or ccRomantic Relationship Bar Keeps Going Down to Nothing
I am playing with the new expansion pack Lovestruck. My sim started seeing another sim as a partner. Every time I do a romantic social, the romance bar will go up, then start depleting so fast it's like they just started a romantic relationship. This prevents my sim from proposing marriage to the partner sim. This is a game breaking bug, for I can't seem to get romance up even when I'm following the date activities. Plus, the partner sims keeps extending the date even with an almost nothing romance bar.Issue After Recent Update – The game failed to load. Error Code
Hello, Since the recent update, I’ve encountered the following issue: I have tried reloading the game. I have reinstalled the add-on, as the problem occurs while traveling to lots from the "Discover University" pack. I have clicked on "Repair" in the app. However, none of these steps have resolved the issue. Could you please advise on how to fix it? Thank you.

I CANT FISH IN SULANI!
I just bought cottage living and island living with hopes to do an off-the-grid Simple living survival challenge on the separate island in Sulani. My sim was going to knit their own clothes, start with 0 simoleans and essentially never leave the island no matter what. However, the fishing spot on the island didn’t work. No matter how many times I queued the fishing interaction, my sim started waving their arms and saying they couldn’t go there! I also tried to place a debug one and that still didn’t work?! Hello?! I just finished a long day of work and was looking forward to starting this challenge and using Cottage and Island living for the first time! I did some research to see if anyone else had the same problem. Apparently this has been happening since the new update… WHICH WAS TWO WEEKS AGO! PLEASE FIX THIS! I spent a bunch of money and now I feel discouraged to played the sims cause it’s broken!My UI just is just not working since the new update 7/24/2024
So when I first open the game everything seems okay, but then you look at the menu on the bottom right hand the icons don't match up to what they're supposed to be. I can click on them for a bit, but I can't scroll or interact with them, and if I keep playing the game, the menus stop opening up. The same goes for the top right-hand corner. All the menus don't open up, and I can't quit the game. I have to force quit the game to exit so I can't save the gameplay.
The Sims 4 latests update broke the game
Hi, I updated my The Sims 4 today and I am facing many problems in the game. The Sims stats (aspiration, relationships etc.) cannot be opened. The Menu button does not work and I cannot save and close the game. Only possibility is to enter to Edit the worlds where I can make a save but the screen is all black. Then I have to shut down the game via task manager. I am not using any mods. I also tried to repair the game in the EA launcher but it did not help.the game failed to load error code 123 after latest update
I get the game failed to load error code 123:75cd024:8d34de34 when I try to trvel to other lots. And after the only way I can get to my sims again is to get someone that knows her and invite her to another lot so that I can load in again. The error code recommends that I relaunch the game. I have done that and tried repairing the game. No mods or custom content enabled.Game keeps crashing. CAS also freezes game.
Ever since the last update, my game just closes unexpectedly since August 10th. Before that, the game would freeze if I had a sim that wasn't originally part of the family go into CAS. If CAS did work, it would change any other sims name to the main sims name.8/8/24 update
After the recent update of 8/8/24 I’ve had multiple problems with my game. I can’t access the Simology panel without it closing out several times, only the traits display, nothing else. I can’t save my game, access build/buy mode or CAS. Whenever I try to go into the options menu to restart my game, I can’t even get into the options menu- so I have to force quit the entire application. I’ve updated my MODS, taken them out (completely), repaired my game via the EA Play App, and also wiped my Sims 4 files and downloaded the entire game (and add-on’s) to a clean state and still run into these problems.Simology Panel Broken
Hi there whenever I open the Simology panel the Parenthood trait meter only pops up (without icons) and it has arrows going up and the dial going from all the way green to all the way red nonstop. After opening it as well my game will not allow me to enter into a new screen. Very buggy. I also have no MODS installed either.
Sims Being Mean In Every Conversation
Since Updating My Game Yesterday I Noticed My Sims Instantly Having Mean Interactions Popping Up While In Conversations! Really Damaged One Of My Sim Couples Relationships I Had To Exit Without Saving Because I Didnt Want The Grudge Forming Sentiment! Please Fix!
Broken Gallery
The gallery is one of my fav place of the game, but it's completely broken. Here are the list of numerous bugs I encounter on the gallery ever since 2023 and it hasn't been fixed, even though 2 of them were supposed to be. Repairing the game, cleaning cache etc nothing works The favourited creations do not appear on the gallery after 5 rows, only 5 rows appear and it's been like this for 2 years even though it was supposedly fixed. If we have to download every creation we like, our tray folder will quickly get to dozens of GB Ever since For Rent, me and others, encounter corrupted non rental lots which are impossible to erase from in game. I can only erase them through tray importer Some players are unable to follow and it's not due to the limit. It has been resolved for me in june but remains for other players. You follow certains creators and you leave the game, when you reopen you're not following them. I had to follow some creators about 10x before it actually counted This was supposedly been fixed but all friends/ following still remain with the "anonymous" user X/ infinite 9 numbers for the lot cost and even the date. This has been resolved for me but remains for other players Bring back gallery notifications bc we'd like to know when someone comments or asks so we can respond, and also get notified when creators we follow interact with a creation which allows us to discover Bring back the total number of downloads (at least for the creator to see only) Update the allowed following number to at least 500, there are lots of great creators plus we can support new ones. Only 300 is not enough, and most of the players will prioritize bigger accounts over new ones with this limit If anyone encounters these bugs, do not hesistate to interact with the post and comment, especially if you encounter other bugs I haven't mentionned EA Please please fix these gallery issues we encounter for months now coz the gallery is an essential part of the game for any player. ThanksThe sorrounding lots go back to default
Since a few weeks, I have the same problem. Whatever save I trie to play, after some time spent on playing, all the neighbourhood lots are shown as their default version. The lot I play in works most of the time, but sometimes it is also empty when I load it. But the whole neighbourhood ist on default, which is extremly annoying, because I spent hours on making it look good. Does anyone else have this problem? I already reinstalled my game, tried different saves and restarted my game a lot of times!
Game not functioning since update july 23 2024
I cannot play my game. Whenever I clicked on the simology panel or traveled or basically did anything the game would completely stop working. The arrows on the parenting traits (responsibility/empathy/manners etc...) would flash green and red. I couldn't click on the three dots to save or anything. I traveled to high school with my teen sim and the icon for the sim wouldn't load and I couldn't click on it and the moodlets were just like boxes with no words or symbols. I tried to manage worlds to fix it and the game would just go black but the buttons on the top right would remain but clicking on them did nothing. Also the game would continue to play I could see like thought bubbles and my mouse was still there. Please fix!*FiXED!* Update issue July 23
playable BUT I can't open CTRL+SHIFT+C , I can't open simology panels, edit mode, .. etc. I can't even save it. I can only play but cannot make any changes. UPDATE: I fixed mine after posting this, but I forgot to update you guys because I started playing 😂. I clicked Manage > REPAIR on my EA app. See screen shot. It worked immediately. And I don't have any mods btw. And it is still glitchy but not as bad.The game is broken
My game is completely unplayable every time I click on manage worlds my screen goes completely black I tried to to save my game but when i press the three dots it doesn’t pop up this has only been an issue after the update please fix this I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on packs I want a playable game.CAS won’t stop crashing
Everything else appears to have been resolved in the newest hotfix, but CAS is still very clearly broken. Editing an existing Sim is showing to be virtually impossible without the game crashing altogether, and CAS itself is glitchy or won’t open at all. I have to force-exit the game through task manager whenever this occurs, because it’s just stuck on a loading screen forever. This is incredibly frustrating. I paid 40$ of my own money for this new pack, and I can’t even play the game without it crashing whenever I open CAS. I am about to demand my money back if this isn’t resolved soon. It’s nice all other things have been fixed, but it would be nice if they now fixed whatever is wrong with CAS. I’m trying to be patient but this is the 4th day in a row of me trying to launch the game and it just crashing over and over again. CAS is one of the main features of the game and it’s just not working anymore.Game refuses to switch to other household member, then freezes
Since today's update (july 23rd 2024), my game has frozen three separate times. It starts with not being able to switch to other household members, after that I can't have my selected sim do any activities. At that point I'll usually save and then go to manage worlds to see if that fixes it, but instead of going to manage worlds, my game just loads forever until I force quit. I don't have any mods (I play vanilla), no CC, I restarted my PC after the first two times it happened, but then it happened again.July 24th update broke my game
It started with the UI issues bugging and missing icons, then spread to the save menu which prevented me from saving and ended up losing a lot of progress prior to this update, THEN it spread into CAS mode, and now ALL the sims in my game are completely missing!! I don't even get an image or preview of them in their households when I go into manage worlds ... what the hell's going on EA??? Breaking the game a day prior to your big expansion drop, yeah nice jobWoohoo doesn’t work after update
Play on PC. I purchased Lovestruck and the game updated. I haven’t played since before the update. When I played today, the woohoo and try for baby interaction is there on the sims and bed, but when you click on it the sims glitch and nothing happens. Unable to try for baby. Very disappointed that I can’t play anymore because of it. How am I supposed to continue my legacy family without being able to try for baby? Please fix this bug. Thank youGame freezes upon enrolling in university and moving to campus housing
I recently bought the Discover University and I have been trying to enroll a sim in university and move to campus housing, but after selecting all the options the final screen (moving my sim out and selling lot furnishings) the game freezes and will not progress further. I downloaded today's update, removed all mods, repaired the game, restarted the game repeatedly and it will still freeze in the same place.Broken Simology Panel
I’m in the process of doing a super sim. Every time I go in to check her parenthood traits, the panel won’t load at all and if I go into any of the other tabs none of those show up either along with losing the cursor. The only way I can fix it is if I quit the game completely, it won’t let me save or anything of the sort. This started after the update.cannot pay bills
i have updated my game, taken out all mods and cc, and cleared the ea app cache. and it still does not give the option to pay bills. I do not have the new romance pack either. i've seen others with a similar post. i just get the pop up saying bills are due in zero days with no way to pay them. the repo person did not come either. everything else in the game is working properly. it's just super lame when the sims just keep having all this money because they never pay bills. i saw on EA answers that there are quite a few people having this problem.
