Xbox One Observed Errors & Issues

I pre-ordered the deluxe version of the Sims 4 for console (Xbox One) as a digital download.

Since the date of release, I have noted a few errors & issues I'd like to see a patch for. Feel free to add to this list...

1) When saving, every save's name changes to the last saved moment.

1a) There is no way to individually name each save.


Edit 1b: 1b) There is no way to delete any saves.



2) In Save Menu, will often freeze, not save, & during reboot will not always properly auto-save (as customer service told me it would).

Edit 2a/1-5: 2a) Work around save Errors:


2a-1) If freeze or refuse on reg save, press down on right angling to pull up controller menu


2a-2) Then from Sims 4 Menu, go to "manage worlds/"Don't Save!"


2a-3) Then click the Xbox One menu and HARD QUIT. (These actions force Auto save to act right.)


2a-4) Reload game at "Auto-Save" point.


2a-5) Immediately save at least 2 save points to ensure a proper save and back up save.



3) Today, when i opened my last save, I got the message that one of my build items had been removed due to not being the owner of it...

3a) Every item I have are all ones that came with what I have, Game-Expansions-Stuff-Free Stuff. So what is being removed & why?



4) There is no way to sell an entire stack of anything in personal inventory.

5) There's no way to move items or stacks from any storage to your personal inventory.

Edit 6: 6) Travel between worlds can cause everything to be lost entirely upon return and require a fresh reload of a previous save as auto-save can become corrupt.

Edit 7: 7) The buildings don't show up in the world "Newcrest" when your world traveling as a preview.

7a) This town is for you to add building to. (*NOTE: Not every building from every town is auto saved to your "My Library" if your interested in using them.)



Edit 8: 8) Upon moving my objects stopped being mine & I had to re-purchase them to gain full access to them. i.e.: Fridge, etc...

Tungsten Chef - Currently for me this achievement has not unlocked. All other achievements popped as normal, but this one is still locked. I have reached Level 10 on cooking with three different Sims, and nothing happened.

Search Function not disabling during object placement in build & buy, pressing undo opens the search bar.

Achievements not unlocking. Cheats haven't been used.

As I can, I will add my own observations and commenters as I'm sure it's in our collective best interest to catalog these things for our own sanity & possible future updates as EA, etc care to take note. :smile:

;) We need an xBox One version of Lists as to where to find somethings. All Fish & where located, All Fruits & Veggies & where to find them, etc... Can anybody help with this?
  • I have a problem where If I click anything where my aspirations and need and inventory are, then try to click anything else afterwards the game opens up the inventory or whatever I had clicked before instead of what I’m trying to open
  • Just wondering if achievements have been fixed yet? I've been playing since the game came out and apparently I've only unlocked 2 achievements so far lol.

    Hi. First post here (can't start a new new thread?). I ran the Xbox One update last night (Feb 7th) and since then, whenever I launch the game and sign in, I can't progress beyond that screen by pressing A. It says welcome and there is literally nothing else I can do as it's just waiting for me to press A and play. No button works at all apart from the home button on the controller to exit the game. My daughter is going to be distraught when she goes to play tonite and can't get anywhere!


    I've been having this problem also ever since I first purchased S4 on console also.
    After a bunch of pressing (A) it finally works but it takes long for me too.
    Hope this will be fix one day for us on Xbox.
    Also I have problem when after the loading screen finished the music still continues while playing. And overlaps horribly.

    I've come across the music overlap problem several times on my PS4 too! It's so frustrating and I had no ways to fix it in game but to restart the game! Hope one day, there will be a patch to fix this issue.
  • New to the site and been having this issue on Xbox One console: constant crashing. I can't have my sims travel or really do anything without the game shutting down, usually right as they leave the home lot and it tries to go to the loading screen. I got this fixed for a short time by doing the "just go to manage worlds" selection, saving there, and then by selecting the lot i wanted my sim to visit. It was annoying having to exit to the map to save but it was better than losing hours of progress like before.
    However, the crashing is back to happening no matter what and now trying to exit to the map makes it crash. Its like its learning how to be worse! I've seen others with this issue so I know I'm not alone. I have the disc version of the base game but have downloaded all available dlc's. Is crashing like this happening with anyone who downloaded the base game? Im not the most tech savy person.
  • I have had the regular problem of achievements not registering as complete, and that was bad enough, but yesterday for Christmas I got: Cats and Dogs, Get to work, Seasons, and Jungle adventures.

    The achievements that you're supposed to get with these games haven't added to the list of locked achievements.

    I'm on the xbox one console, have the WiFi cable plugged in directly, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the games. I don't know what to do and I'm so upset Frown



    Please! Tell me how to fix this!

    The achievements that come with the DLC on PC aren't a thing on console. We only have the base game achievements.
  • I have a few different saves but I just got seasons so I started a new game and had hours worth on that save and I saved it and went into my other save but when saving I accidentally overwrite my seasons save and I can't get it back. Is there any way of getting it back

    When in build mode, trying to build or edit, I have to click on B button many times for it to finally go back to the options screen. Anyone have that issue?


    Yes yes yes and it’s so friggin annoying especially if I clicked on the wrong thing in the debug/unknown items and press b 100 times and on the 101st it backs out but then I hit b again by accident and now I’m out of the menu that I spent 10 minutes scrolling through :(
