Can't get into the sims 4 on console
Hi, I'm having an issue where I can't get into the sims to play. I can start the application from my PS4 home screen but when it loads to the point where it says "Press X to start" my X button doe...

@RheaFallout Hello, I just wanted to add as a PS4 player, I think something in the Reaper's Rewards (which is fun when my game loads and functions) may be causing issues... my game crashed 3 separate times since this event, and before that it was fine. I am not having known issues with UI, but my game shut down again suddenly. These are the things that *may* be a trigger for my issue... compare notes and see if there is a common thread with yours. These are not in order, but are the things that happened before game crashed: Teens were about to go to high school, just received Ambrosia Society Newsletter, hit R3 button and game got stuck for a second, first time using fastest fast forward while Sims were asleep, and saved over a file # that had previous corruption that I deleted and brought back via USB. Oh, I also have the "Mold" Lot Challenge turned on. Otherwise, no clue. If this is irrelevant, it can be moved to another thread. I wonder if Lot Challenges are an issue (on PS4)?
@Xemisa2World Hi I'm wondering the same thing, like it's the events themselves are bugged??
The only weird thing I had before the X button problem was the postman delivered the news letter then just stood by the post box waving at my sim and her dog on a loop until I sent him home.
I'm also wondering if it's all tied to week 3 of the events because my sims application corrupted and I had multiple other issues during week 3 of the happy home login event.
This time I completed week 3 of the reapers didn't go back on my ps4 until week 4 began and that's when I got the X button problem.
The off the grid lot challenge is bugged atm I think, my gen 4 spellcaster save with it is just endlessly loading so maybe it's lot challenges too??
Hopefully next update will fix all our issues!

- @RheaFallout Interesting. We have several Sims players and copies of the game in the family. One is base game and Rewards only and it bugged the least during the Reaper's Rewards Event. After comparing notes with you, I am going to take the mold lot trait off! I think it is noteworthy that delivery of the newsletter may also be a potential trigger. This may be what caused my game to crash and corrupt. I was always moving the camera in the direction towards the mailbox and front of house every time it suddenly happened. Checking mailbox, checking to see if people went to school or work, etc. then it suddenly crashed. Yes, I think certain lot challenges may be a factor! The crashed copy in question has For Rent and the Mold Lot Challenge turned on. On the Base Game copy, played without Off-the-Grid Challenge or Mold Challenge, (which comes with For Rent,) and no problems with Week 1 or 2. On crashed copy, with For Rent and Mold Challenge turned on, it shut down halfway through Week 1! On Base Game copy, finished Weeks 1 and 2 without issues. Still repairing the one that crashed, hope to play Week 3. I will turn off Lot Challenges except for Scare Seeker if I can get it running again.
