Spellcaster sim can't perform copypasto

Along with other bugs, items are disappearing from my Sim’s inventory: groceries from the fridge, collected crystals and metals from the gemology table. My spellcaster sim can’t perform the copypasto spell.

I understand updates will sometimes introduce bugs. But this has become a chronic problem with EA’s Sims 4 updates.

For many of us, The Sims is more than a game. It’s a coping mechanism, a lifeline. In a world that’s constantly falling apart, diving into our customized fantasy worlds makes life a little less brutal. And yet EA keeps breaking it  and now fills it with ads. Ads during gameplay. Ads interrupting our experience like a car commercial plastered across our windshield while driving.

We’ve already spent hundreds of dollars on this game. We want to play it fully functional, without intrusive ads, without it breaking every month. Don’t you have a department to test updates before rollout? Or are you outsourcing that to the community? This feels lazy, careless, and, honestly, targeted. Bugs happen. But every single update? Why is this a pattern?

  • The inventory issue is mod causes so please follow these steps for your other issue as well

    - 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.
    - Close the game
    - Copy the save game with the error from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
    - Start your save game
    - Check if you still have the error and if you do, try the double load again.
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

  • Very well said, I’m also having the same issue my spellcasters can’t complete the copypasto spell or complete a potion at the cauldron. Very frustrating, has anyone found a solution?
