Ever since the newest patch for the game I have not been able to play. I have 70+ packs and I cannot get into my game. I cleared cashe, Uninstalled-reinstalled app and the sims game inside of EA app. I also made sure pc is up to date, compatible, etc. Everything on my end is fine, however, I cleared a claim and even EA help couldn't fix my issue with all their suggested steps.
@dukaslove To move a folder, just click it and drag. To rename a folder, click on its name and type something else. It's really as simple as that.
Hello sorry for the late reply. I am going to try that right now. Once I am finished with that what should I do? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. its been like three plus weeks of not playing. Im desperate. Thank you again.
@dukaslove If you move the Sims 4 folder, make sure it's moved and not just copied. If you rename it, make sure the rename sticks. Then try to play. None of your saves will load in-game, nor will any other content you have, but that's fine and is actually the point of the test.
Start a new save, play in live mode for a bit if you can, save your progress, and quit. Restart your computer and try to play the save again. Let me know how it goes.
Hi!!! I had given up and just let the holidays pass. Happy holidays to you and yours. Thank you for all your help. It has been at least a month since i've played. ☹️ I was wondering can we message individually so that I can explain things better its easier with direct message on here, if thats alright with you.
@dukaslove Using private messages makes troubleshooting more difficult because the PM conversations don't show as threads. So I'd have to jump around among several browser tabs to keep everything straight rather than having it all one one page in chronological order. If you want to share private information in a single PM, that's understandable and fine, but for the rest, please stick to this thread.
Your bald sim after the update was because all mods and other custom content are disabled after most patches. You have to go to Gameplay Options to reenable mods. If you saved while your custom content was still disabled, your sim will stay bald from here on out.
@dukaslove To be clear, this problem is limited to certain households and/or saves? If so, I'd suggest you post in the Sims 4 Game Issues forum:

It's not that I don't want to help so much as I'm not nearly as good at fixing this kind of problem as others are. I'd suggest creating a new thread, rather than finding an existing one, and including in your post whether it helps to move any affected sims to a different lot. This helps distinguish between issues with the sims and with the lot. For the affected saves, see whether you can load a different household within that same save.
