There is a blue flashing/pulsing box in the bottom left-hand corner of my screen and when I try to open a household, it just takes me back to the select world screen. There was a box when I first updated that told me something wasn't at the recommended setting (though I don't know what it was) and i clicked what it recommended and then got a warning about poor play quality... I don't know what is wrong.
italianmammi923 Please see the solutions post of the thread I'm moving you into. Note that it suggests you start at Broken and Updated Mods and CC
I am having the same problem since the latest update. HELP
k_kretch1993 Is this with an empty Mods folder? If so, please try making a fresh user folder -- rename the folder Mods is inside of. If you still have issues with a fresh user folder, please let me know so I can get you to the right place for support.
My game was working. Then it was giving me insufficient graphics warnings. I was able to fix that. Now it won't load my game. I made a post, though I think it was in the mods and cc forum on accident, about what its doing and what I've tried. no mods installed, restarted laptop, repaired game many times, unistalled EA and reinstalled, and now am reinstalling the game itself. I had just "updated" the game with 3 new packs I purchased, and now it won't load and will only spin the green plum-bomb thing.
k_kretch1993 Please start at Previously Broken mods and CC and the current Broken and Updated Mods and CC lists.
Did you put any mods back ? This very much looks like outdated mods still.
Moving this to the mods forum for now.
I also notice this when I am in build mode. The icons, etc are odd? I don't know how to explain, so I have attached a screenshot
I was able to get rid of the blue box, but it still will not open any households. I click to play and it takes me back to the main residential worlds screen.
yes, I did. I am not sure what's going on.
Did you have the same on a new save ?
I tried both of those fixes and neither worked...
Please try the clean folder approach described here: 📓[GUIDE] Clean User Folder Approach | EA Forums - 12690428
It is possible that your save is corrupted if you saved in that state. You might need to go back to a backup https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/
I removed the mods I had added and it is still doing it. Also, it was the setting for auto-scale. This time, I kept current settings and the blue box is still there with me unable to open a household.
I don't remember what the warning was for
