My game totally broke after yesterdays update. It freezes after a minute, removes stuff from my inventory etc etc. Tried to restart the game a couple of times only to realize a lot of people experience the same issue. The game is unplayable.
I am experiencing something similar, I cannot save or travel because even after waiting over an hour "game loading is in progress". The game is unplayable.
For me, ive noticed that all of its broken, for example wont let me click the options button like to exit the game, or the pannels bellow -friends etc and the buttons on the bellow pannels are the wrong symbols example: the phone is a money symbol and when hovered over it turns to friends but when pressed still a phone - i play with mods and mc command center is no longer there.
This us exactly what I’m experiencing
The exact same issue is happening to me! I noticed when I go to modify or change my sims outfits the the loading screen to go to CAS doesn't load and I hear both music playing at the same time. ALSO I can't use the button to change my sims oufit, and I cannot exit the game properly. I removed all new mods I had just installed and it still does not work. The update made my game un-playable. 😠
My Sim grew up and there is now no longer the option to choose traits for them. Unfortunately this is the least of the problems since the update. The update has ruined the game completely, making it unplayable. It freezes when I go into build mode or edit Sim mode. When the game freezes there is also no longer the option to save the game or exit the game so I have to force the game to close from the task manager. I have tried repairing the game but it makes no difference.
Same here :( I really hope they fix this asap 😭
The same thing happened to me. I removed mods and it worked. MCCC has already updated for the new patch and now everything works fine for me. I'm now currently in the process of slowly adding mods to see which work with the update.
Having the same issue— can’t even save, can’t click on inventory or check my sims work tab, relationships tab, or even save
This is so aggravating. I will play for 5-10 minutes and then my buttons won’t work. For example, I go to save and when I press the three buttons, it just doesn’t pull up the options. When I switch to the inventory for my sim, it just doesn’t pull it up, etc. It’s honestly like Groundhog Day .. I keep playing the same days over and over because every time I go to save it won’t work.
I don’t play with any mods or cc 🤦♀️
Yes! I am having the same issue. I tried to do the repair thing but after playing for like 5-10 minutes my buttons dont work and I cant save. Cant even use the ALT 4 to save.
And i also dont have mods or cc
I took all my mods out, repaired the game, and it won't even load all the way just stays on the loading screen. I really hope they fix this before the weekend, preferably today. lol
Same issue here, I can't save or travel, and my Sims was at work and at home.....at the same time. I hope they fix this soon, this is my escape from real life 😔😊
Has anyone found any fixes for this issue? has EA said anything, or will we just have to sit back and wait...
This is exactly what's happening to me too... I've tried to troubleshoot in so many ways. WTF EA?!
It's wild that people who do not use cc or mods have broken games from the update! It's one thing to have cc and mods installed (like I do) and experience issues, but it's ridiculous that people who don't use them at all are having major issues after the update. So far I've been fortunate and have not encountered any breaks in my game despite having cc/mods, but I suppose that luck could change at any moment...
I wasn't having any issues until just now. The needs panel goes away, I can't open the settings menu, everything freezes and I have to force close the game.
Similar thing is happening to me. I started my game after I did the update, I can't open build/buy mode. Nothing appears at the bottom, and if I try and close the game out after that, the entire thing freezes. I have to ctrl alt delete to get task manager up to close it. I tried to open the different panels at the bottom and nothing opened up then either. If I tried to edit my sim from in the game, the screen turned black and I could hear music, but nothing. Forcing me to open task manager to close it out. I tried to repair my game, it didn't do anything. I had taken all the mods out of my game, prior to doing the repair and it did not make a difference. This update absolutely wrecked my game, it is unplayable.
Exactly what happened to me :( i cant enter build mode because it says the same thing. My sim just stands in one place and wont move or do anything i ask her to😴 Hope they will fix it soon
I had to experience my sim dying three times yesterday because of this bug and not being able to save 💀
I don't play with mods or cc and my game is completely broken too. I can load the game and open save files/start a new save no issue, and can play/pause the game, but everything else won't work. I can't open the gallery, relationships/needs or anything on that panel, can't even access the menu once in game to save or return to main menu, I've had to force quit several times and replay the same 3 in game hours over again.
Tried it again this morning and now I can open the character values and I have this bug where the values show for teens but they're constantly changing. I can also open the help centre, and click on manage worlds but it just stays on the same screen and doesn't go anywhere.
The Sims 4 is so unplayable with each new pack/update it needs a good overhaul, but it's like they don't care as long as they can keep getting us to fork out money for a new pack/kit.
Sorry about the brightness I don't know what happened there 😂
Mine kept messing up my teen and kids simology panels, so I tried removing Parenthood and that stopped hurting it. I think Parenthood is broken.
I am experiencing the same problem and you are right, the game is totally unplayable! I have disabled all cc in my game (I only had eyelashes and a few hairs) and I have repaired the game but the issues have stayed. I can get my sim to do a few actions but the moment the game requires a loading screen, it goes black and glitches and stays that way indefinitely. There is nothing I can do to fix it and I have to force quit every time. I hope they fix this soon because I was hoping to play when the new pack comes out... though at this rate I am concerned about how broken that pack will be too.
This is the black screen I mentioned.
All same of the above I'm also experiencing, also like 50% of my mods won't work, Like MCCC won't show up in game. I've reinstalled it like 7 times since the update. Makes me super mad that the sims won't acknowledge the fact that the update broke the game, as usual. Would be of some decency if they at least sent out a letter where they acknowledge the fact that they've seen what we're all saying and that they're working on it ;(
Seems like we can only sit back and wait, like usual they're just ripping all of us off. No decency at all at their headquarters...
My game is just playing by its own rules I SWEAR I’m so close to breaking down! Here is what mine is doing:
so I deleted the mods and the caches and them repaired the game via EA and tried on a completely new save with the base game and expansions:
I’m new to mods so I didn’t know I had to delete them before the update or not update… anyone else feeling my pain right now? 😑😑😑😑
