Solved

'Life and death' became unusable

After the release of “Royalty & Legacy”, it suddenly became almost completely unusable. The city itself, families, etc. are good, but the functions of the expansion itself simply do not work. It is impossible to up thanatology (the only working method is through books), tarot cards, it is impossible to go down to the crypt, ask about unexplained phenomena, emit a dark aura and so on. In other words, basically all of the DLC's functionality is non-functional. If I try to give these actions to the sim, it simply resets and nothing happens.

I removed and disabled mods in the settings, restored the game and all add-ons, but the result is the same. Even on a completely clean new save without mods, actions related to thanatology and other things simply do not work.

    So I deleted DLC via the EA App and redownloaded it, and suddenly that solved the problem for me. Don't know why repairing the game didn't work and this method did, but the main thing is that everything is working now. Thanks a lot for your time and help! 💚

    Oh wow .. when they add that feature ?

    Guess I can update my blog post.

    Glad that worked for you.

    Hi! 

    I did as you recommended, created a new windows user, game repaired, a new clean The Sims 4 folder and everything, but the result is still the same. Actions are still being reset, and sometimes the sim freezes if in Ravenwood 🤷🏼‍♂️. Guess I'm just cursed lol

    Hi KisaMake​ 

    I tested my LD save and explored a crypt which worked fine so really unsure what's going on in your game, especailly on a new folder. The save might have some issues but a new one should work.

    Could you try to make a new windows user and try from there ? Also make sure to repair your game.

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    • Delete the ones you have
    • Trigger the error again
    • Check if new ones are created
    • If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.

    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

    Hi! Already tried that too, but the problem remains even with a new folder and a completely new clean save without any mods.
