Re: Not Happy
Hi @crawler1218 - if I read this correctly, you do have whims but when you complete one, it doesn't register? There are some specific whims that aren't working - check this list to see if you have any of these, and add your experience to any relevant bug reports: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/READ-FIRST-Compiled-list-of-reported-Gameplay-Issues/m-p/3445209#Whims5
Since this started after a patch, I suspect you may have an issue with outdated mods or cc. I suggest you try to repair your game -
- Exit TS4 and Origin completely.
- Save a copy of your Saves folder to your desktop (or somewhere else safe, to use as a backup)
- Move your Mods folder to the desktop
- Delete the file localthumbcache.package Default location is C:\[YourUserName]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 Instructions with pictures are here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/delete-cache-files/
- Launch Origin "As Administrator" (Right-click Origin.exe, choose Compatibility tab, Check the box next to "Run this program as administrator")
- In Origin, right-click The Sims 4 icon and choose "Repair". Origin has to be online for this to complete. Let the repair run until completed, on the game and any addons installed
- Launch The Sims 4 and check to see if the issue is fixed. (your sims may be naked or bald, depending on the mods or cc that was installed previously)
If the issue is fixed after the repair and you didn't have any mods or cc - great!. If you do have mods/cc, then one or more are outdated. This will take a bit of detective work; one at a time, copy your mods back to the mods folder, then open the game and verify everything is working. If you have a lot of mods or cc, use the 50% method. Once you've identified the culprit(s), check with the creators to see if updated versions are available.
Please reply back to let us know if this fixed your issue. Happy Simming!
