Sims 4 Update broke my game

Similar weird things, unplayable. Also could not access the game menu to quit. Had to force quit. Was there any testing? 

I have the same problem. I can change worlds or access my inventory bar in my game and it says that my game is always loading. 

Same problem. Icons from calendar, skills and rest of it switched places, game crashed, in building mode I only see a house but not building menu, and can't go back to live mode. Any controls respond 

Game is unplayable now

I am having the same issue also.  I couldn't click on anything other than Simology.  Couldnt get the menu to show up.  I had to force quit the game.  I was able to take my cat to the vet and come back to the house but i'm not able to exit and go to another household.  I cannot save.  I cant even tab out the game.  I wont be able to play until this is fixed. 

The same has happened to me on PS4. My curser, panels and menus have gone missing so unable to play. 

Fishing signs don't work. Adult sim pathing randomly breaks and tries to go straight to something rather then a clear route. Child cannot change aspirations. Everyone is fighting swear this game is now fight club. The baby is needing to be changed and fed every sim hour. Needless to say I cannot play this the way it is. Occasionally sims become unclickable like they are NPC. I've tried vanilla emptying out my mods and with mods - with mods it's at least playable till you want to do something in particular.  

I couldn’t even click on simology. My cursor disappears. Build/buy mode doesn’t load. Nothing loads when trying to select travel from the phone. And if I click manage world, my screen goes black. 

I've had the exact same thing. Removed all the mods, cleared the cache and repaired the game. No success. Why was this not play tested before release. Very annoying. I've paid for sims for years and tbh as a consumer I won't be getting any more packs it's not worth the price anymore for me. Each pack and update comes with problems. 

So EA practically forced me to get the update, since NONE of the 'play offline' features work 100% of the time. Just for the update to totally break my game. Why in the world did I pay my good money for something that I actively can not play anymore? 

WHY WOULD YOU FORCE ME TO GET AN UPDATE THAT WOULD BREAK MY GAME? LET US PLAY OFFLINE!!!!!

This has happened to me aswell. All of my icons have been switched and mean different things. There is this weird screen when i open up a relationship. Also i had a 3 hour game that had randomly closed and did not save. I am so dissapointed.

Same thing happening to me. Was playing last night and the game was fine. Saw the update this morning then launched my game. Works for maybe 1 minute then crashes.  Issues listed below: 

• Simology panel for kid, glitching (character values going up and down) 
• Cannot exit build mode to go back into live mode
• Cannot open the menu to save or quit
• hard shut down and relaunching the game > issues still persist

This is ridiculous and I hope no one gives Project money grab- I mean "Rene" a dime. They need to focus on fixing this game FIRST. Side note: Those of us who paid full price for base game deserve a refund. The game is hardly playable over the past 10 years its been out, and then there are ps2 games that still run as if they came out yesterday. 

Fix this ASAP. 

My game's broken can't click on anything but my needs and can't do my Sims homework or even call for service. My game just went black and now I can't even save or quit my game. Yay! Just spent 2 hours and now I lost everything

I am so mad right now. Just got the baby to bed sat down to play the game and it's unplayable. Are you freaking kidding me? I've spent thousands of dollars on this game. Thanks but no thanks 

Im having the same issue, I logged in and noticed that all the buttons were mixed up and the calendar was also having issues. When I tried to open the build mode it completely glitched and same thing with the gallery. 

Same problem over here, except CAS also won't load for me. Game refuses to leave the loading screen, and I've tried starting a new world by clicking "new game", and it just sits on a white screen. I've cleared cache and repaired the app (multiple times), still nothing. Game won't even exit out from the taskbar, I've had to go to taskmanager to close it. Even had to restart my laptop multiple times over just to test if it would work then - nothing.

Bad update.

I am also unable to play my game. I do not report things often but my game is super bugged. I can’t pull up the menu to exit game. My simology panel is tweakin’. The tasks I’m asking my sims to do just don’t work. I’ve been able to enter build mode but it wouldn’t let me leave it without force closing my game. I could also shift click to edit in CAS. The “copy paste feature is nice” but I can’t play my game. I haven’t had the opportunity to try anything else.

Same someone needs to fix this. 

Same for me, and I disabled all of my mods.

I heard there was going to be a second update today and some people are saying it’s already came out for them but not for me yet. My game has been broken since yesterday can’t save or travel it keeps saying game loading process 

Same thing happened to me. After the update I could only see my sim's needs but nothing else (career, friends etc), if I try and go into CAS, the screen just goes black (same with trying to go into manage worlds). I have tried moving my mods folder, restarting the game multiple times, restarting my computer, repairing the game over and over, but nothing works. 

I had a baby which i aged up twice to a child using a cake and the aspirations never showed up. So i saved the game exited the game completely… i see the crib she was in like five minutes ago but my kid is gone! No kid at all. She just vanished. Wtf?! I hope she pops up again. 

I have this same issue. My cursor disappears making it impossible to select anything. It’s just not playable. 

this is happening to me as well. i have parenthood but since the update all my teenage sims 5 life skills are completely glitched out, and the simology screen doesnt scroll. disabled all ym mods, cleared cache, i dont know what to do, i cant even quit naturally i have to task manager close.

good to know im not alone, so many people have this issue!

Hi, I updated my The Sims 4 today and I am facing many problems in the game. The Sims stats (aspiration, relationships etc.) cannot be opened. The Menu button does not work and I cannot save and close the game. Only possibility is to enter to Edit the worlds where I can make a save but the screen is all black. Then I have to shut down the game via task manager.

I am not using any mods. I also tried to repair the game in the EA launcher but it did not help.
