No Platform Tool
I doubt this is in the right category, so feel free to move it, if it's not. Anyway, I just updated my Sims 4 game for the second time this week, and was anticipating that new, long-awaited platform...
Not to be entirely rude, but I know that's a crock. I got the stairs content patch MONTHS after they did the 64-bit/Legacy Edition split, 'cuz that occurred around June of THIS YEAR for me. Only thing I can think of besides a full reinstall is to try repairing the game - IF my laptop'll cooperate - 'cuz upgrading hardware's outta the question for me. If I can't fix it and no one else has any ideas, I'll just revert to TS2 since that WILL run as I expect it to other than CAS making it crash due to an apparent lack of memory following a Windows update. I'll still read up on the Legacy Edition - maybe that'll hint at something we're all missing that'll work.
I most certainly can the next time I crank up my game, if the repair I ran on it didn't work the way I wanted it to! I didn't think of grabbing a screenshot before I shut it down earlier, so no guarantees that I'll still have the same problem, now that I've run the repair through Origin... *fingers crossed* I moused over everything, though, just 'cuz I haven't played TS4 in a while–I got so frustrated with it that I went back to TS2 for a while, so I knew there was prolly a lot that I'd been missing out on–but I never saw a platform tool. Even doing a Google search for such an image from a player who DID have it show up in their game turned up nothing, which was why I started this thread in the first place...
