EA Do You Care AT ALL About The Sims 4 Bugs/Players/Games? Fix The Sims 4 Please

@temerald7667 

Please create separate treads for your issues. 

Apart from Weeds your other issues are known to be caused by broken mods. There are threads about those that you can read.

For unable to Weed that is because the plants are out of season. When they are back in season you can weed them again the same is true for Evolve. If you have Cottage Living you can get a Bunny to help you with the weeding.

Spellcasters can use the Floralorial spell to get rid of weeds on out-of-season plants. Requires the Realm of Magic gamepack, of course. Floralorial will also take care of watering and spraying for bugs. 

temerald7667  and jpkarlsen :   I usually keep quiet because i don't actually think/believe that EA or anyone really cares about my voice/opinion. Not this time.

I have NO MODS & NO Custom Content!  I used to like to play my game.   however :  I 100% believe temerald!!  As for me the last update game caused even more problems but then all of them have.  Even adding packs to make availble for purchase, that alone gave me more issues,  and I never even bought the pack that the issue provides. 

One irony I see with the Feb 27, 2024 update shows this fix : 

• Critical fix for mod creators: Mods will sometimes invoke TunableFactory at runtime after tuning load. This causes a None object exception since the expectation was everything happened during the initial tuning load, and it was not expected that dynamically creating tuning at runtime was a thing (outside of tuning reload, in which case we disable the optimization entirely if that is allowed). This change is to make register_for_cleanup method do nothing after cleanup has already happened. If this is happening after tuning load, the created tunable factory and tuned object will be garbage collected naturally after it is no longer referenced and needed.

WELL.... I find it very confusing to read in the terms and conditions that EA does not support MODS (those creations that actually change, modify or add substance to the game) or custom content; yet---- the update, it proves quite the opposite?    if your going to fix some for Modders - then you should support them!!!!!!   That is truly an contradiction to provide and update for them and say we don't support them????   Or is the whole idea to allows these modders to do their thing so any other issues can be said to be caused by the modder/creator of custom content.   basically I see that as using others to hide or cover up your own mistakes and accountability - does not exist for anyone but the player.  But I got your number.  

I stopped purchasing packs and even stopped getting the kits LONG ago  - because every new one I would get - would bring about a whole list of new issues and or make old issues worse!   NONE of these issues were CAUSED BY MODS/CC cause I HAVE NEVER HAD THEM!!!!!   

I've been playing sims since the 1st series (orginal) came out (well over 20 years ago)  and I still to this day have all the packs from 2 series!   I do tire of hearing how it's always the players issues/fault!!!  From their computer/settings/lack of updates on some software/ outdated hardware/ MODS or Custom contect I've been accused of having because they refuse to believe the player!!!

 I have noticed EA changing the sims 4 game achievements by removing older ones and adding new ones - relabeling objects in the game from 1 pack to a different pack - ( when I caught that, I was livid) - the deception alone. Not fixing the game pack errors - even selling game packs that do not have what they say it does / or can do - like wedding Stories - is just wrong!    It's plainly wrong! 

I refuse to buy any more headaches that just cause me frustration in a game I once truly loved!!!!!    It's sad.  As long as the list of issues i have,  which go back to the base game - of which they sold many different versions and made obsolute some of them - the orginal sims4 pack my daughter gifted to me - is obsolute and they even renamed mine!!!   So - I just wanted to say - that EA games - as long as I continue to have the same issues,  I have had since I had to delete my entire game and start 100% completely over at their insistance a couple of years ago - all those issues.... - I still have a very long list - YOU KNOW what they are - you CHOOSE not to fix them and because of that - I have not been able to play my game for nearly a month now!!!  I only had 7 housesholds and I lost 2 of them that had the only infants in my entire game!!   I was not able to find the files anywhere and the game would not accept the backup I made before the update!   That is clearly not my doing!  But I am sure - you will, as usual, find a way to pass the buck - but the buck stops here.     * luck to you all who continue to play and support SIMS 4 or jump into sims 5.

@rujuta4me 

If you post your issues one per topic we may be able to solve them. I'm sorry that you wasted your time writing that long posting but there is absolutely nothing mentioned in that that would enable us to help you.

BTW. temerald7667 never returned so we can only assume those problems were fixed. If you decide to post yours we hopefully can fix these as well.

Hi @jpkarlsen 

Thank you so much for this information.  

I don't use mods at all.  I never have.  

There are other issues as well. 

I was only using the weeds as an example. 

I don't pretend to know anything about computers/games, perhaps that's why I don't use mods.  

I know that somehow, someway it will mess everything up and I will be unable to fix it. 

Also I rarely post because I always end up posting in the wrong thread, 

My apologies for my ignorance. 

Thank you though for the information you shared with me.  I had no idea. 

Hi @jpkarlsen 

My apologies for not returning. Work is keeping me very busy. 

I do not use mods or cc. I refuse to. I do not have the knowledge to fix a game or a computer once 

a bad mod or corrupt file.  

I feel quite inadequate when it comes to computer troubles. 

I cannot run out and purchase a new computer if mine breaks. This is why I refuse to use mods/cc. 

I chose to play the sims 2, 3, & 4. I really enjoy them.  Right now, I am only playing the sims 4.

I do not have any other games loaded to my computer. 

Other games have just never interested me. I remember when my sister and I got an Atari game system to play pong.

I hated it.  I have never been one for video games. 

There's something about the sims that I just enjoy. 

I like to play/build for about an hour after dinner, then it's off to bed to get ready for work the next day. 

The only day I can play for any length of time is Saturday. Unless I have to work. 

I do my best to get back to posts as soon as I am able to. 

Have a good day all.  

@temerald7667 

Thank you for returning with more info. 

Please post your issues one per topic to make it easier to help you and include the information that you do not use mods or CC. 

Regarding the gemology table have you used it at least once? If so notice that the finished item is left on the table preventing you from using it until that has been removed.

@temerald7667 

Glad you found the reason for the gemology table. I find it weird that you can't slot a chair into the table as in real life jewelers do sit at their work tables.

I hope your eye heals properly. If you have other questions in the future please do not hesitate to ask.
