First I couldn't click on anything once I opened the child's simology panel, I couldn't scroll down on it which was the first thing I noticed was broken, then I couldn't open her inventory, switch to build mode of even save the game. After a restart the same thing happened so I restarted again and didn't go near her simology panel. However, I then was unable to get an adult sim to cook a cake, no options came up after clicking 'cook'. I tried to leave the world and go back in but it didn't work, and then the screen went black although the time was still ticking on. Please fix this ASAP as it's not playable! I have never played with mods or CC.

I have the same problem, did you fix it?

This happens to me as well. I just bought and downloaded The Lovestruck pack, and now I cannot access CAS. I selected the empty property in the new city and "create a new household" and now my game just keeps loading and loading and loading.

Same. I can play, but several things are broken and the game crashes randomly. I have to save every few minutes. Once it crashed and I lost 20 hours of real time, play time despite having saved many times.
You cannot accept invitations from NPCs. Billpay doesn't show up/isn't available, work-from-home careers wont let you do tasks, home items keep disappearing. You cannot use some of the fishing locations in the island living pack. Building and moving sims can break the lots. When you build and try to save the lot to your library, landscape items disappear. One of my sims is married but is "currently working on the single and loving it lifestyle".
I have no mods, tried the "repair" option on the EA app (computer). I have tried to demo lots, evict residents, travel from lot to reset, debug cheats... I genuinely am upset that they haven't repaired the existing bugs riddling our existing packs... EA is greedy and just wants slop to be steadily fed to the masses. I have to keep reminding myself that game developers are not the problem. The only solution is to stop buying the packs.. which I loathe as a solution, because I have been playing the sims for 20 years.. :( - HumbleQueen41 year agoSeasoned Newcomer
Hello, so for me with my CAS not working, it was the big D mod from Khlas

I'm still playing the game daily and looking to see what feels off too. I still have For Rent installed with all the rental play features turned off, I paid too much to uninstall.
My game is running fine without any crashing, and I can use CAS. All my cc and mods are up to date, I don't have too much in this game to create extra issues especially since sims 4 updates so much.
What worries me about the game is how after these most recent updates (3 in one week) my CPU is running higher than I like. I feel like this game is working my PC more than it needs to, but everything is still running fine. I'm ready for a new sims game but I will continue to play sims 3 and 4 until we get one. My CPU loves sims 3 and my sims 3 game is loaded with more cc and DLC than 4.

It works fine with a new save, but in my legacy save is completely broken. I basically cant play with sims toddler through teen.

When I oped my game, on the main menu, when i open the menu (the 3 dots) I cant change options. In game, Every panel is messed up. All of them lol. Can't go into build/buy mode. When I do the whole panel dissapears. Can't go to menu to exit so I have to force the game to close. :(
I already updated mods. I took mods folder out and everything was good then. Is it CC? CC has never given me an issue before. I've repaired the game a million times.

You'll probably need to give us some idea of what the game is doing, or not doing, that makes you think it's broke. Just saying it's completely broken is so vague that I doubt anyone can offer any useful suggestions or advice.

Same issue. Will not load past the load screen when I try to enter CAS ever since I got lovestruck and also disabled mods etc. Still happened 5 times in one day I gave up. Can they fix this asap!
