Issues since latest patch.

Hi there

My game was working fine until the last patch update [although the timing could be a coincidence], anyhoo whenever i click on a computer - any computer, on any computer desk the only choice i have is computer settings! nothing else at all. I have sold the computers, desks and chairs and put all new and different ones each time and nothing changes. The only mods i have are xml injector, wonderful whims and ui cheats - all have been updated and i also have some custom content which are the lates additions too.

I have tried taking out the mod folder and repairing the game but nothing has changed and i am also having issues with my sims not doing the laundry - they take the clothes from the hamper freeze for a few seconds then drop the clothes on the floor. This happens even if the hamper is next to the washing machine, if i click for them to put the clothes in the hamper they pick up the clothes pile but drop it back on the floor. If i drag the laundry to the machine they will switch the washer on. When the clothes are washed and i click for them to hang on the line or to add to the dryer they take the wet clothes and drop them onto the floor so i have to drag into tumble dryer so sim switches dryer on. I've tried selling machines and buying new ones and even changing the placement but nothing corrects it.

The sims won't take out the rubbish either, they take the bin bag out of the house bins or empty the trash from the vacuum then just dump it on the floor then get the tense moodlet again because of dirty surroundings!! They wont put trash in the outside bins either. I don't know what to do, it's very frustrating.

Hope EA can sort this out, i'm playing on PC with EA app.

Thanks

Lin

  • @Celticrose67 Let's try a clean folder:

    1. Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
    2. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
    3. Start with New to test if your issue recurs.

    If that works,

    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. To test mods, copy the files into the new folder *in batches* with any mods they depend on (injectors and core mods, for example). Don't copy your old resource.cfg file. If you delete any mods from the new folder, delete localthumbcache. Check the instructions on 50-50 testing here: 50-50

    Hi

    Thank you so much for getting back to me.

    My 3 mods plus custom content are all updated.

    Can you tell me what the Options is that I'm going to reset? Sorry if I'm being daft lol.

    I'm in work at the moment so can't do anything sim related until my day off on Thursday.

    Thank you again

    @Celticrose67 After you start the game, it will behave as it it's completely new, so anything you've customized in Main Menu > Options will need resetting.
