Sims 4 CREATE A SIM DEMO

Product: the sims 4
Platform😛c
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Do not know but I do have the dvd
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? The sims 4 regular game.
Steps: how can we find the bug ourselves? Go into the sims 4 create a sim demo and create a sim. Then save the newly created sim. Then go to your regular sims 4 game and look for the newly created sim. There is not one! You can wait 24 hours or longer. The newly created sims 4 sim never appears. If the app no longer works, just say so and stop futzing around!
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing occurs! The app is supposed and did at one time transfer the newly created sim to the regular sims 4 game. Now -- nothing happens!
What do you expect to see? I used to see a newly created sim appear in the sims 4 game from the sims4 create a sim demo. Now? Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! If the app is kaput -- just say so! Don't close my request without saying a damn thing!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.G. Custom content or mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Please -- just reply within the next 5 days, okay?  Thank you!

  • @foy1jay The Demo uses a different user folder than the main game so they won't appear in your game. 

    The Demo can be found in The Sims 4 CAS Demo while the regular game is The Sims 4 (found in your documents\Electronic Art folder)

    You need to copy over the files from the demo folder to the regular sims folder (Tray Folder). As far as I know, the gallery no longer works with the CAS Demo as the CAS Demo has never been updated.

    I would not use the CAS Demo anymore as you don't get any of the new options.

    Sorry about the caps!  But this question was NOT answered despite my having asked numerous times.  Is it too much to expect an answer after all this time?

  • Did Crin's response not help you?

    If you are playing Sims 4 - why are you using the CAS demo? There is a full version of CAS in the Sims 4 game - there's no need to switch between the demo and the game.

    Thank you, crinrct, for some kinda reply.  Apparently because the Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo was never updated or anything, there is no folder anywhere on either of my machines with a folder referencing the Create a Sim Demo as a saved game.  What you are basically telling me is that the Sims 4 demo app is kaput and I can remove it from my line-up.  That was all I wanted!  Some clue as to what happened.  Peace out!

    No, Crin's response did not help at all!  And the CAS Demo had more going for it than using the CAS in the Sims4 Game.  But then, unless you have tried it -- you would know how it differed from just using the CAS in the Sims4 Game.  Whole new & different experience.

  • I have the CAS Demo, once I got the Sims 4 game I stopped using it as it was a demo only.

    @foy1jay Installed the CAS Demos so I can add some pics

    In your Doc folder you should have this if  you have both the game and the CAS Demo installed and started both once (NVM the german Sims folder and the Sims 3 folder)

    When you click on the OK button in the game to save the Sim, the game saves the Sim to the Tray folder in the Create A Sim Demo folder

    This Sim now shows up in your CAS Demo Library

    This Sim will NOT show up in the game as the game uses the Sims 4 folder and not the Sims 4 CAS Demo one.

    All you need to do now is copy all this files from the Sims 4 CAS Demo folder to the Sims 4 folder

    and then you'll have the Sim showing up in the game when you click on library. From there you can place the Sim in the game.
