Found Bugs/Suggest Additions
Hi there, I wanted to start a discussion on features the community would like to see in the Cozy Bundle or bugs the community has found and we can all make posts towards this on here if that’s ok! :) I wanted to start off by saying that the controls, while working great, feel a little off for me as I’m left handed, and I think it would be a nice addition if we could get an option to swap the controls for the Left and Right Stick for those who would prefer that, and vice versa. :)Blayer9828 days agoRising Traveler1.4KViews5likes77CommentsStick Drift: Possible bug/switch
The navigation control has a random stick drift. It only happens when playing MySims. I tried to calibrate my controls but they were fine. Played 2 other games and it worked fine the moment I loaded Mysims the stick drift returns (in a downward direction)145Views1like11CommentsSomething is up with these guys (photos)
I have taken a break from playing Sims 4, until either the game is patched or I add the next pack that is coming out, haven't decided yet. Anyways I just added MySims to my collection. I didn't even know you could get this on Origin until I stumbled across it the other day. It's been like forever since I last played this game. Anyways something happened while I was playing, and was deciding on where I wanted to show what happened, and I got to thinking about some of the trouble our sims in Sims 4 can get with the rocket (and as far as I know Sims 4 is the only one that has an actual rocket), so I thought why not share it with this forum. My sim came across some other sims working on a rocket, but with a slight twist, they decided they were going to launch a vampire off into outer space. My sim is the girl with the red ponytail. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45516841_1146132822203678_6188050328726798336_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=05ab3debe26c52833a3d75543c9a29b7&oe=5C77E5AA https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45579904_1146133028870324_2672021720323325952_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=fd189f7b3bf84dfd715eae9e2a9940b5&oe=5C3BF95D https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45813339_1146132962203664_3410375616967475200_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=b12018b3802deb8ef90693a69173a0b7&oe=5C725797 Right after this, I had her working on a rocket, again, but this time no one was inside. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45743448_1146132872203673_8650226647116546048_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=20ee359cfeaec3b39f6a637de0fdae93&oe=5C88B9FE https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45663959_1146132992203661_8470300086151151616_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=21db2c2723938eb2c145c2173e8cf8d8&oe=5C7FB579 Success, this time it didn't crash. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45719090_1146132905537003_3494176991622463488_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=aaf827464d1dd93a270501b3745532ac&oe=5C87472B https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45717897_1146132932203667_7956152067997827072_o.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=02af4d3f88c852c41a204f5397dc0037&oe=5C6E8733LaBlue03147 years agoRising Scout412Views1like11CommentsCan’t complete tasks, inventory not updating/syncing
I started playing today and got to one task and I need to deliver happy essence. I have 23 in my inventory but when I go to complete it says I have 0. same thing happens every time I start a new task too, says I don’t have the inventory and I do. Can’t do any more tasks so the game is not playable. also the fishing didn’t seem to work either & no explanation how to get stone but stone is needed for the tasks?m1llys1527 days agoRising Novice155Views1like7CommentsBug, can't give podium to mayor
There is an game breaking bug in My Sims on switch, I cannot give the podium to the mayor as the give button does not appear. I press left or right on my D pad, I have the podium in my backpack, but I only get options to talk, be nice or be mean. This means I cannot progress in the game. I have tried twice now, and it will not work. The D pad works perfectly well when building, so it is not my controller. Please fix this bug urgently as I want to be able to play. Also the switch controls are really unintuitive, the right stick should rotate the camera not move the cursor. Left stick should do that. And how to do some things is not explained anywhere at all, for example resizing building blocks, which should be on the D pad. We need an better building tutorial that explains how to resize blocks, how to make blocks link up etc. Also please give option to turn off intrusive nag screens and tutorial pop ups. I played the wii version and the controls were better.SolvedSylvaPhoenix3327 days agoSeasoned Novice1KViews4likes6CommentsI'm not even sure where I need to go for this question
I have a question regarding a system requirement for a game on Origin, but I don't even have a clue to where I need to go to ask someone. I was looking through Origin's games and discovered that I can purchase My Sims. I haven't purchased it yet, I want to make sure that my computer is able to play it first. I am on a Windows 8.1 and was wondering if it can play this game. According to the information, this is the system requirement. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45214495_1142434452573515_2331648126210801664_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=4a1f5bb25bae0964e19d9ab498455598&oe=5C473184LaBlue03147 years agoRising Scout238Views1like6CommentsNo MySims Kindgom Download from Cozy Bundle?
I have just been messaging someone on EA Help by alas no luck, so here I am. I redeemed MySims Cozy Bundle yesterday & and I was very excited to get playing. I played MySims for about 2 hours before hoping to change to MySims Kingdom (my main reason for getting the game), and struggled to do so for a short while. My system only downloaded 'MySims' so I was expecting to be able to switch to MySims Kingdom in the same game/widget. I went on a search, looking at several YouTube videos of gameplay, people streaming the Cozy Bundle on Twitch, and started to feel like I was losing my mind a little bit. Where can I play MySims Kingdom?! It was at this point I realised that MySims Kingdom should also have it's on widget on the system menu, and that, it was nowhere to be seen. Huh? I went back to the e-shop and double checked I'm not missing anything - it says "purchased" and there's definitely nothing additional I can select to download MySims Kingdom. I checked that my system is updated & that I have enough storage for the game - yes and yes. I even deleted my save data & uninstalled the game from my console to start again - proceed to the e-shop and download the game. Once again only MySims is downloaded, no sign of MySims Kingdom. It's not that it's stuck downloading, it just doesn't show up on my menu page at all. I'm connected to a stable Internet connection so that's not the issue. What do I do?!314Views0likes5CommentsMysims
I really miss this game and wish that EA would continue putting out new content for it. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent playing the game. I always had a certain way I wanted the town built. I made sure that I put in the clothing store, hair salon, and Gino's in the town square. When I'd finish the game, I would start over! Playing along to the same storyline never got old for me. I only ever played the Nintendo Wii version of the game, but I suspect it's pretty much the same game and storyline on every platform. I never played any of the sequels. Just the first game. It's my favorite and would love to see a return of it. Who else loved this game? What did you do when you played it?171Views0likes5CommentsCan't move Sims to Garden
I'm trying to move sims into the house plots in the garden but I'm not getting a prompt to do that? It just makes me build random unoccupied houses and I can't exit out without building anything or delete the house once I've had to build it.ShellySheeps24 days agoSeasoned Newcomer1.1KViews1like4CommentsDutch language option?
Hello everyone, I am kinda curious. Why wasn't the dutch language included in the game? Its a bit of a shame because as a kid it allowed me to play the game relatively young. While alot of us in the Netherlands can read english pretty well. I doubt younger players can which makes it a shametktmbx0bakxq27 days agoSeasoned Newcomer107Views2likes4CommentsLags and Bugs - game not playable for me
Hello everyone, I have the problem that my game often lags and freezes while playing. The freezes are about 1-2 seconds long and quickly dissappear again. I also have the issue that sometimes building objects are not interactable. A restart often fixes the problem but it is always coming back. The things I already did to troubleshoot: restarting the game, restarting the console, reinstalling the game, used different internet connection methods (different wifi and hotspot), tried handheld and TV mode. None of the above helped me. I tried them all multiple times. Nintendo refuses a refund unless I get the info, that currently there is no solution for that problem. So my question is, is there a method I haven't tried yet or can anyone help me? The EA Support chat gave me a link to this forum to ask for a possible solutionSolved117Views2likes4CommentsThe MySims Cozy Bundle Is Available Now!

I’m running into an issue where Vic is stuck in Rocket Reef. I’m pretty sure he needs to be able to move to trigger the next quest so I’m stuck from being able to make any progress in the game. Has anyone else encountered this issue or a similar one? Any solutions or help would be appreciated!zr6tumfkygfi18 days agoSeasoned Newcomer128Views1like3CommentsAudio and other Bugs/Changes
Been playing through a bit of both games and noticed some bugs or changes compared to the original Wii version of both games. MySims: Buildings that had two songs will play either one or the other on repeat instead of going back and forth. Unless intentional, building furniture or houses will play the same song on repeat instead of switching to the other 3-4 songs compared to Wii. The game frequently played the same single song even when starting another furniture project. Some flickering with the ground when building houses or furniture. When fishing, the bobber does not go under some bubbly areas. Happens about 1/5 times. When backing out of fishing, the player sim will automatically start fishing again, having to quit a second time. MySims Kingdom: Zones and menus that had multiple songs are missing the second or third song. The first song repeats when exiting and entering the area/menu or when the song loops. (Renee’s Visitor Center, Gino’s Pad, Dr. F Lab, Travel Log Menu, Outfit Selection on Boat) Sim voices in some cutscenes can be quieter compared to Wii version. Volume is normal during gameplay. Also, countdown in Rocket Reef cutscene is missing. Not sure what the terminology is or if this is what’s causing it but may have to do with the placement of the “microphone” during cutscenes. Verified it wasn’t my TV by sending video captures to another device. Videos attached to post. Buddy and Lyndsay can get stuck in some sections of Rocket Reef. This bug was in the Wii version too. Areas include the plateau near the mining wall and the rock steps near Tobor’s bridge. These are areas NPC sims normally can’t get to without jumping. Photos attached to post. Ambient sounds would stop for a brief second before looping. Few lag spikes when talking to sims but nothing game breaking, normally happens when the game is about to autosave. Not sure if everything here can be considered a bug like the music tracks stuff for both games, but I wanted to make sure. Still having a great time going through these games again, and I do like the new controls and reduced loading times.DimnsnZER026 days agoSeasoned Newcomer213Views1like3Comments
