Sims 4 Manage worlds selection greyed out

I've been deaing with this for a while now. I bought the game monday gone, and after looking online i realised there was lts onlne that i oculd download into the game. I set the gallery up and found a house that i really liked and would like a family to live in, only to realise that the download button in the bottom right hand corner of the gallery window was greyed out. I googled this and only things like 'how to manage worlds' were showing up, so i went to try it. i clicked on the dots in the top right hand corner of the screen and found manage households. The option for manage households is greyed out so i cant select it, and when i try to click it, it says that manage worlds ans split households are not available in this mode. I contacted EA customer online support and they were no help. i received an email from them after saying right click the game window in origin and select repair problem and this should fix it and we're closing the case. i tried that and it didnt fix it.

So basically, manage worlds and split households arent available in the mode i am in, i don't know what mode i am in, and i would greatly appreciate if someone could inform me on how to change it.

Thanks

    So idk if you guys have found it out since the posting of this question but you have to do it after you load your save and before you actually start playing you have to click the household modifier thing

    Me, too . EA  told me you can only play one family at a time ;that’s the way the game is .  I told them I saw others doing it on YouTube and they told me to google it and got off the phone . Each time I play either start from scratch or play one lone family at a time . Soooo unpleasant

    Could you guys share a screenshot of what you're seeing, also with hovering over the button?

    Funny enough , I called EA about it, again, today and they sent me a link to  This page - that I already complained and commented on . That was their answer- to refer me to my own former post ,about how I am unable to play more than 1 family at a time . Then the Head was contacted and he said just keep playing the game, eventually it’ll open up when you get better at it . I asked him what specifically to do . He said just keep playing . It was insulting . I said that sounds suspiciously like “ drop dead . I have no idea . Can’t wait till my shift ends” . Sorry to vent , but are you supposed to be able to have 2 families you created on 2 days interact ?

    Halloo 😁
    You need to be in live mode (the one you play in - where you can pause, fast forward or Warp time for your sims).

    Once you're in Live-mode, you can go to the menu (the 3 dots one) and then Manage Worlds should be available =D
