Hi bny4xx
very odd. Not sure what's going on. Have not seen this reported before. Since you are on a laptop, do you have laptop mode on ?
I have two suggestions you could try:
Suggestion 1
- Close the game
- Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
- Repair the game
- Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry.
- Start a new save game
- Check if you still have the error
- Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
Suggestion 2
Play around with the UI scale settings and your graphics settings and see if that makes any difference.
Hi crinrict !
Woah thank you for your help and sorry for taking so long, but renaming the Sims folder to _Old actually worked !!
But does this mean I have to start a completely new game?
Hi bny4xx
You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created.
First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken.
Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back.
You will need the following folders
- Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)
- Screenshots (if you've taken any)
- Videos (if you've taken any)
- ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)
- Options(.ini) (although in your case I strongly recommend to just redo your settings in the game)All other files are recreated and not needed.
