Re: "script call failed" with official Sims 4 expansion packs

@MissCarbonheart

Hi! Pleasetry repairing your game.

Open your Origin client and go to My Game Library, right-click The Sims 4 and choose Repair.

If that does not do it, try resetting your files to factory settings.

  • 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!

    Hi! I did that and it works a lot better now! I can access all the assets, but now I am having issues with the trees popping in and out of 2D. Might be because I used bb.enablefreebuild and bb.moveobjects, but I have seen a seperate thread mentioning this that I will consult 🙂
