Broken Update 03-23-26

I was having the black screen issue since the update. Now as for the new patch (March 23rd) it seems I am at a loop after I choose my location and place home on lot.  I played for 60 minutes. Then, I restart Sims 4 but I'm stuck at the world screen map and I cannot go to household lot. Anyway, I tried updated scripted mods, 50-50 method vanilla and repair. Nothing works!

  • Sims4_Player78​ Try this please, as a testing step:

    1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop and rename it.
    2. Run a Game Repair in the EA App. (If you use Steam, the equivalent is Verify Integrity.)
    3. Launch Sims 4. You should get no list of mods on launch, and you should have no option to load a previous save. Reset your Options.
    4. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

    If it doesn't recur:

    1. Copy the mods out of your old Mods folder into the new one. Don't copy the Resource.cfg file - use the game's new one.
    2. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

    Please let me know how this goes.
