A Part of Recent Updates' Elements Not Show Up In My Game
I posted this here because I thought there might be a problem with the way I was handling my data, but I apologize if I posted in the wrong place.
Assumptions:
On PC via EA app, no MOD/CC, Version 1.121.372 English ver.
D drive is used as a backup drive exclusively for Sims 4, and the entire Sims 4 folder is saved separately.
In most cases, I play only one household in one Sims 4 folder.
The family tree of each playable Sim spans three generations or less.
Basically, it's not a story-based gameplay, but rather a gameplay to check things that interest me. In these cases, data containing environmental elements to see what I want to check - for example, data containing a parent-child household to see behavior related to infant/toddler care - is copied from the backup to the EA folder and then play begins.
Each backup data can take several months, or even years, between plays, and updates made during that time are received when you resume play. But the data that has this issue this time is data that is played once every year, and the last saved day is Jan/29/2026.
I've been playing this way for the past few years, and every update has been updated without any omissions.
However, this time, a part of the updates from the three updates released in February(Feb/03, 12, 19/2026) are not shown up.
As you can see from the image above, neither the Landgraab nor the Goth have found a dynasty. And Caleb Vatore's mother and Granpa are not shown in his family tree.
But new Dynasty system and family tree system are reflect in the game.
So, it appears that only the parts that were added to the background elements in the pre-made Sim are not reflected.
I did:
All but saves, screenshots, notify.glob and Options deleted from existing data, then run the game. (If not adding notify.glob, I lost all poped-up notifications in the Notification Panel. That's not I want.)
Run the Sims 4 without folder in EA folder, created new Sims 4 folder, then left content folder and GameVersion txt in new folder, after then copyed my save files, notify.glob and UserSetting ini to new folder, run the game.
Deleted all cache files in the Sims 4 folder and EA app's (everytime I do this process), repaired game from EA app, and recovered save file.
In either case, I used the data copyed from backup for test play each time, but the elements not shown in my game.
Is there anything else I can do to get the missing updates element back?
The updated family trees only apply to saves created after the update, and the dynasties only to saves created after installing the new pack. Neither applies retroactively to pre-existing saves, because you may have already edited them, or had neighborhood stories play out with them, so they don’t want to overwrite existing saves and wipe out what’s already been played through.
