Re: Sims 4 PC "Bust the Dust" Vacuums only have 'Empty' Option

@Justasimatheart Did you test this without mods/cc installed ? Sounds a bit like a mod conflict.

  • I believe I also have this issue and I dont have any mods or cc just a good chunk of dlc.

    HI @Axelle_Redpaw 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

  • This actually fixed it enough for me to play the dlc! Thank you! All i did was backup and one by one moved my save folder and tray folder as i don't have any cc or mods and that's seems to have resolved it.hand vacuumes don't seem to work still but at least i can play the dlc now!
