The game stops working after I try to open the children's character menu. I can't go into build mode. I can't save. I can't interact with any of the menu buttons. The high school kids no longer show they are enrolled in school under career.
I am also having this exact issue.
Having the same problem any time I try to travel the game goes to a black screen and then freezes to where I have to force quit the game without saving and it happened three times the last time with no mods.
I have been also having issues. I wanted my sim to adopt a baby but she will no go into the rabbit hole and the animation just cancels. I can adopt pets somehow but not a child. Really annoying
I can't get my sims into cas mode at all
It’s all over TikTok too ppl are freaking out I haven’t opened my game yet but I did update it I’m terrified.
Have similar problems (and I don't use mods and CC at all) option menu doesn't work at all, my child's simology profile is broken, icons like needs, relationship, skills etc mostly don't work, after clicking on build mod I can't go back to life nod again etc.

I am so tired of updates breaking this game. I have remained quiet for too long, I am issuing EA this WARNING! cease releasing UNTESTED patches and NEW GAME CONTENT, or I will cease buy any more stuff from EA period! I am former IT specialist and I have supported software development, and this is UNEXCEPTABLE! 24 hours and no hot fix for software your people broke!!! I Refuse to buy any more of you packs for sim 4 Because they bug out the game and make no fun to play! HEAD my word this MUST stop, or we are through! I am tired of waiting for months after pavls release for the bugs to be fixed and you busy make more BUGGY content instead of patches!
i am too
I am having the same issue and came here to see if anyone else was too. Nothing works after a short period of gameplay. I can’t save or do anything!
Thought I would come back to an update today but nothing. They really do not care about us smh.
I am having the exact same problem it is making the game unplayable, was this update even tested??!
I'm so frustrated and and have had about all I can stand of EA and their sloppy handling of The Sims. IS si this going to be a fixable issue, or are our games ruined forever?
Still an issue.. I thought for sure today it would be fixed but it seems not. I've tried everything to fix the game on my end but I think (judging on the amount of people having this problem) that this is not an issue on my end
Same here, I can't open any menu anymore, not even the main menu to leave the game. It's just so annoying.
I got an update from them today and installed it, but it's still not working
I'm having the exact same problem. I can't even exit the game. The only way I can get out of it is shutting my computer down.
I am SERIOUSLY over this. It's about time your customers file a class action law suit. You still charge FULL PRICE for Sims 3 and stopped keeping the game playable. This is complete BS! I have every expansion pack and it is HORRIBLE how every time a new one comes out, the game becomes unplayable. Furthermore, how sad is it you have to have our modders help you with making the game better. SMDH. I have played the Sims since it has come out and I am sick and tired of you charging insane prices for expansions and add ons that never work. YOU SUCK!
My whole UI is broken, the cell phone, calendar, and notebook, the simology panel, I can't click on aspirations tab or the career and Inventory tabs. and it's for every life stage. even adults.
Ditto
Still doesnt work after the update for the update, which should have fixed the issues. One of my saves doesnt have any problems with the simology panel, but all of the others are still broken. I am so sad about this and hope that my save isnt completely broken forever.... :(
I just updated and now I can’t use it with Mods. It loads to the main screen, but it doesn’t show what mods are installed. Instead every time it loads up I’ve got a pop up from the new love struck game pack and if I try to close it out it freezes and I have to force quite. I’ve dismissed this pop up like 20 times without mods loaded and it still pops up and freezes the game. This happened the last time they added content and the only way I got it fixed was to buy literally every game pack I hadn’t yet so it would stop having pop ups about content I should buy. Now I own it all but I’m still got pop ups on loading. I wish these pop ups would stop.
I cant enter EA OR SIMS ! it wont launch, i even updated all my mods (which i only have MC command.) They need to fix their game!
I lost all my saves right after updating.
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.
There is also an issue affecting various items. Realm of Magic spell/potion tomes are unreadable (appropriate level of magic, don't know the spell/potion, but it won't let my Sim read it). Items purchased after using the hidden objects cheat are not functioning correctly. I tend to play spellcasters a lot, and this plus the unable to travel bug are making the game unplayable.
