- Restart the Console completely.
You can turn off your PS4 system in any of these ways.
- Select [Power] from the function screen, and then select [Turn Off PS4].
- Select [Power] > [Turn Off PS4] on the quick menu.
- Press and hold the power button for at least 7 seconds (until the system beeps twice).
When you turn off your system, the display darkens, the power indicator blinks white, and then turns off
2. Be sure you are connected to the internet You can check this in the following way: (Settings) > [Network] > [Test Internet Connection].
3. You may want to check the parental rating on your account. The number rating for games may be set to low for sims on your PS4.
Go to Settings < Family Management, then select the account to manage, under the child account then select Parental Controls > Applications/Devices/Network Features once in that screen they can change Age Level for Games, and under Network Features make sure Viewing Content Created by other Players is set to Allowed. There's also an Age Filtering by Online content that may also need to be disabled, but only if the other setting didn't change anything.
4. If you've set your PS4 up correctly for parental controls the issue could be your EA account itself.
