EA breaks the sims....again.....

I'm not sure why any of us are surprised that the Sims 4 is literally broken once again... I'm personally getting really tired of holding my breath in anxiety after each update, wondering if my saves will still load. It genuinely makes me wonder if anyone over at EA even bothered to test their "fix" prior to pushing it out on everyone. If they had, surely, they would have experienced what were all experiencing ..... As far as blaming mods, perhaps if the devs put a pinch of effort into anything they do, or bothered listening to the most common requests, mods wouldn't be required for an enjoyable experience.... Best wishes and luck to everyone who is worried about losing their beloved virtual families.

Since last night, I’ve tried every possible option available to me to actually play the sims 4 on my windows PC. Nothing has worked. I have repaired the game about 3 times, I have downloaded a broken / incompatible mods finder and deleted all the broken mods, I have updated all my script mods and I have updated my actual laptop. I’m currently stuck on a loading screen and it’s approaching 5 minutes since I’ve been on it. This all started after I updated the game because of their latest updates. I’m extremely angry that my game won’t load all because EA decided to add in features I already have access to because I’m a mod user. I’m not deleting my script mods just so I can be left with the boring terrible gameplay that EA provide for their players. I will be writing a formal complaint every day u til the issue is resolved and if it’s not fixed by the end of this week I’m deleting the game. I’m not the only person who’s been stuck on the forever loading screen. I don’t need any advice on what else to try. I’ve cleared the cache and all my misc folder content in the sims folder, the household of I’m trying to load is a very small family on a very basic lot. EA NEED TO FIX THE GAME DONT DESTROY THE GAME JUST TO GUVE PEOPLE RANDOM SKIN DETAILS THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR!!!!!!!

Yes, so thankful to have stretch marks that look like self-harm and age spots so my sims can look like they do m3th 🙃

Just out of curiosity, have you tried removing ALL mods from your game and starting a new save file? Just to see if the same issues are occurring? That might at least tell you if it's a problem with the game itself or a problem with your mods.

My game is doing the exact same thing and it’s crashing my laptop too. So annoying!

What steps have you taken to try and resolve your vanilla game breaking? I notice you have no post history here asking for any help, unless this is an alt account you're using. Some of us here can try and help you but you must help us and yourself by providing as much information as possible. Have you checked the bugs forum for your issue?

For a Windows tech issue in your game post here.

For a Mac tech issue post here.

For a gameplay issue post here.

I get it, it's frustrating when a game you've paid for doesn't work as you expect it to and it's more fun to vent on the forums but there is help here, you just need to look or ask for it 🙂
