cheat console box not working
@keirahsuzanne, I assume you are playing on a PC or Mac? Do you happen to use any Mods or Custom Content (CC)? 🤔 Often after updating the game Mods and CC will become outdated. You will need to find which one is the culprit and then check with the creator of that item to see if they have a version of it that is also updated to work with TS4's most recent update. Then you will need to get rid of the old version of your Mod or CC item and replace it with the new one. 🙂 (Keep in mind that on June 2nd EA will release another update to the game, so other Mods or CC might also become outdated, meaning you have to do the whole process over again, unless you just want to wait until afterwards and do it all at once. 😉 )
So, if you do use CC or Mods please do all of the following:1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. This is very important! 🤨
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method.
The CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that item of CC in the first place. You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version.
If for some reason the creator of your Mod or CC item that is causing you problems didn't update that item, then you will have to get rid of that item of CC or that Mod. Thankfully most good creators update their content regularly to work with the game! 🙌
If this doesn't solve your problem or if you don't use Mods or CC, then we will have to look further into the matter, but we still need to rule out any Mods/CC conflict first! 😉
Please update us on your situation! 😇
