Sims 4 kicking me to manage worlds after i select play my sims (PS4)

hi! i have sims 4 on my playstation and it does not let me play my sims. it used to work perfectly fine up until i had to do a fire drill. unfortunately every time i select to play my sims, it immediately takes me to the manage worlds portion of sims. it definitely has to do with my High School Years Expansion Pack since i have all of my other packs downloaded, and that’s the other one that continues to mess up my play station (including other games). an error continues to show up and refuses to save my game when I have the expansion pack. when i play other games when the expansion pack is downloaded, it says it’s going to kick me out of the game after 15 minutes because of the license. I have updated the license several times, i have only used about 20% of my storage on my playstation, and everything seems to be up to date. as of right now, i have other expansion packs besides the High School Years downloaded into my sims (after deleting the sims all together and redownloading without the high school years expansion pack) and it works perfectly fine. if you know anything on how to fix it, please reach out! it was my favorite expansion pack clothes/hair wise and i’m currently working on a boondocks universe in my sims and unfortunately it took everything out of my freeman house in the process after everything so i have to readd my furniture! it’s a huge pain and would really appreciate some help! i’ve attempted to reach out to EA but i haven’t gotten back yet! thank you so much for listening/reading! 

  • i solved it! basically i had to just upload all the sims and houses to the gallery and make a new world and just do it from there. it took me a couple of hours but i think it worked and is working fine. thank you!

    Hey there @daffydodgers 

    Could you let me know what error code you're seeing when this happens? You can find your error code history from your PS4 main menu by going to Settings-> System-> Error History

  • hello! yes so i have a few!

    CE-33950-0

    NW-31246-6

    NW-31456-9

    WS-43709-3

    those were the ones repeated when the high school expansion pack was downloaded onto my sims 4. Thank you!

    @daffydodgers 

    Thank you for these details! Let's try the following to clear up this issue for you:

    • Try a full power-cycle on your console and router/modem
    • Check that your EA account and PSN ID are properly linked together 
    • Change your DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use) 
    • Restore the Licenses on your console
    • Make sure your console system software is up to date 

      • Select Settings at the top of the PlayStation home screen
      • Choose "System Software Update" and allow any system updates to install
      • Reboot your PlayStation
    • Check that your game is fully updated:
      • Go to the PlayStation home screen
      • Highlight the game you're playing and press the Options button on your controller
      • Select "Check For Update" and install any updates that are available
      • Restart the Console completely

    If these steps don't help, please test a brand new save file and let me know if the issue persists there as well. 

  • unfortunately i’m still having the same problem im going to have to redownload everything without the high school years pack again ☹️ 

  • i solved it! basically i had to just upload all the sims and houses to the gallery and make a new world and just do it from there. it took me a couple of hours but i think it worked and is working fine. thank you!
