Hello, thanks! After patch 2.00, my game seems to work and I can buy books again. So far so good. Haven't tried medicine yet or checked to see if Happy at Home Rewards are back. Something about the PS4 system updates, previous Sims 4 updates, patch(es) and/or trying out Streaming mode for the music altered my UI settings slightly and changed the display size though I did not (knowingly, it may have been an accident) change it myself. To fix it, I adjusted the size and got all 8 Sims to line up at the bottom like how I set it before. If anyone has this same issue, it seems resolved. Go to Options and adjust the bar the top of the screen for your television/monitor. I did choose to save over the previous save file that could not buy books, medicine, etc. with the same family saved from the Library, in case that file was corrupted, so I would recommend doing that.
@Xemisa2World Thanks for the update! Very glad things are working better in your game. Have fun playing!
- Xemisa2World2 years agoRising Adventurer@JonaO703 Unfortunately, this glitch returned while on Week 3-4 of Reaper's Rewards. There is no longer an option to Order Seeds. I was able to purchase them at first, then an NPC sat down and used the computer. Afterward, I could no longer order Seeds. I am actively troubleshooting this issue right now. Please send any solutions!
@Xemisa2World That sounds really annoying! It seems like the Reaper event caused a number of problems for people. Do you happen to remember which NPC it was that interacted with the computer? I don't know if it would make a difference but I'm curious, especially if it was perhaps a sim with a special role.
Here are a few things to try if you haven't already.
- Check for a game update. There was a small patch on 31 October, so now the current version is 2.02. For some reason, my PS4 did not auto update for this one and I had to manually check for the update.
- Travel with your household (I think it's best to send the entire household) to another lot in a different world. Have them wander around and/or do some things there. Then have the household travel back home and check to see if one of the sims can order seeds.
- Click on the computer and lock it for one of your sims and have that sim try to order. Then unlock it and try ordering again with any sim.
- Sell that computer and buy a new one.
- Power cycle your system
- Shut down the system through the menus.
- Wait for the light to stop flashing
- Unplug the system from the power source
- Reconnect the power
- Power up the system
- Launch the game for testing
Please come back and update if anything worked or not.
- Xemisa2World2 years agoRising Adventurer@JonaO703 Good news. I discovered a possible workaround, but I have not confirmed whether it works consistently. This is what happened: I went back to Build/Buy Mode once more, deleted the computer and saved house to Library. Then, I bought an upgraded computer, purchased it then deleted it, then bought again in a different color. Next, I went to CAS Mode, stayed there for about 5 minutes, adjusting my Sims, and when I returned, at least one Sim in the household was able to order Seeds. That Sim was already sitting at the computer when Live Mode resumed, so I directed the Sim to buy seeds from the PC. So, *maybe* CAS Mode through a mirror is a workaround that resets the glitch. That was not the case in September with a similar issue that I reported (which was actually a bit worse because I couldn't order books, medicine, or pizza, etc.). I had to delete that save completely, there was no workaround. Hopefully I can save the game now and finish the Rewards Event. Thank you so much for your prompt response!
