Re: sims 4 freezes in fullscreen

Hi @ClaudiaSoup 

Try the following

  • Close the game
  • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
  • Repair the game
  • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
  • Start a new save game
  • Check if you still have the error
  • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

  • Hi @crinrict ! The problem is actually worse now which I'm a little surprised at! I had been playing in just a windowed fullscreen mode, but then my game got stuck on a save screen so I decided to go back to trying to fix it. I created the "_Old" folder, repaired, and when the game opened up it only had half the blue opening screen. Repaired again, got stuck on a green diamond (not moving, but the music was playing). I'm now attempting a third repair but my EA app just crashed! I'm not sure what to do now, but I'll keep attempting repairs in the meantime.
