Crinrict moved the thread to the right place.
Did you try all my tips?
1. Make sure your game is fully updated
2. Remove all potential mods
3. Repair the game in Origin

Okay, then let's try resetting the game files to factory settings! You won't loose anything 🙂
- Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
- Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
- Start the game, make a new save, and see if the error is gone.
(The game will have created a new The Sims 4-folder in your documents, this is supposed to happen)- If yes, continue
- If no, post a reply telling us the error is still there
- Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder. Observe! After every file/folder, start the game and make sure it still works, before putting in the next one.
- Options.ini - your game settings
- Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
- Screenshots
- Custom music - if you have any
- Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
- Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back
If putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!

Also, you can activate the cheat testingcheats true, right-click on your sim and skip the current task 🙂
- Anonymous8 years agoThat’s not working as I am unable to right click on my sim. Do you just hit the right mouse button?
- Anonymous8 years agoAfter following the steps, the detective career is fine with all saves except for my main save which is the save I typically play on.
