I have tried different households, I have changed tvs, I have replaced the game console. I have closed and restarted multiple times. I have tried repairing the game. UnorthoBox Gaming Console is Disconnected. It doesn't matter how close it is to the tv. It just doesn't work.
I have the same issue.
I had the same message. The problem was that I had two game consoles near the TV. One was functioning and the other one had this message. I guess sims TV's can only handle one game console at a time. Moving the other console to another room fixed the non-functional one for me.
This might be a new message. The last patch added in the current reward items including a new console. If I understand this game correctly, that patch must have moved functionality for gaming consoles from city living to base game. Perhaps some functionalities were changed.
The UnorthoBox Gaming Console works for me. I sent Esteban, my Sim, to Rattlesnake Juice in Oasis Springs, then used Buy mode to add the gaming console. I placed the console on the end table closest to the existing TV. Esteban was able to play Party Frenzy from the console, MySims Racing from the TV, Density Effect from the TV, and Multiplayer MySims Racing from the console with Lana McKinnon.
I couldn't duplicate your problem, so I don't think it's a game issue. I would suggest checking for updates to your mods if you're using any.
There's a known issue with custom content TVs. Are you using any ?
I still have the same problem :/
Is this for a TV from the game or CC ?
Both, I got CC objects (TVs, consoles) and game objects and they don't work. It happened after the last update.
I've tried to fix it via sims4 studio and the fix didn't work either.
