@Xemisa2World Hello! Sorry you're having these troubles. :-( First, please double check your game is updated to the latest version. Navigate to the TS4 game in your library, then click the options (three line) button. In the menu that pops up, select Information. The latest version is 1.97.
If you do have the latest version, then I'm wondering if something got corrupted in your game. Have you tried starting a new save to see if things work properly there?
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!
@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.
