Re: Sims 4 - Sim not going to audition

Hi @HolLou99 

Did you test a brand new Sim/Household in the new save ?

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    I've been having this issue too. When my audition time comes my sim would walk off screen as if going to it, but then a loading screen will appear and give me an automatic fail. The only fix that works is if my sim is at her home lot before the audition begins and then goes to the audition. This feels like a new bug because I don't remember this happening before.

    @Crazzy8855 Doesn't sound like the same issue in this thread though.

    You might wanna consider making your own thread in the bug forum.
