hey guys

Hey guys, 

I am not able to play Sims 4 as my sims won't move and whenever I click on them nothing pops up. and there's also a lot of question marks around my game.

Can someone please help to figure it out what´s the problem

This is the error message " Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'commodity_flags')

  • @Stephiiee1_1 Possibly multiple issues here. Try this to see if a reset helps:

    1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
    2. Run a Game Repair
    3. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
    4. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

    If that works, start putting old content back:

    1. Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
    2. Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select an older save to test.

    If that works:

    1. Copy your old Tray files (this is your Library), Screenshots and Videos files.
    2. Now you can work on your mods. There's a good chance some are outdated or wrongly installed. As you put them back, check the original installation instructions. Check the Broken/Updated Mods & CC . Other resources for testing mods are in How to Use Mods and CC
