The Sims 4 totally broke after update 23-7-24

This is beyond frustrating at this point. the game is completely unplayable, cant open inventory, skills etc panels, cant pull down the 3 dots to save. constant crashing. Considering how much everyone has spent on the game over the years you would think EA would spend some money to play test before releasing this mess. nearly a week now and still unable to play the game at all. 

is anyone still having this problem? i am and i haven't been able to play since the update and i am getting really bored so i was wondering if anyone has managed to fix it? I've tried repairing Sims which didn't work and I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling EA which also didn't work :(

Update: I tried playing again and it worked for the first 5 minutes however the icons were still messed up. My game then proceeded to glitch out and close :(

I am getting really bored too. It is over a week now and how is this still not fixed!

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.. :(

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.

My game is doing the same thing as well and whenever I go into buy/build mode it freezes my game. I am unable to do anything after that. I then sadly have to "force shut down" my game. 

I have tried to repair my game multiple times, I have disabled CC from the game and the same thing happens. I can not even play my sim family, literally the game is unplayable for me. 

Please EA can you fix this already, this has been going on for a while already. 

This is becoming a joke now I have been trying to play the sims for about 3 weeks ish and the games just broken I have gone through all my mods updated and removed some that are out of date and still the games broken I just have done the update they have put out and this still hasn’t fixed my game I can’t do anything in build mod I don’t have any tools or options to put furniture and things in, have the ea team even said there going to try and fix it or are we just going to left game less because we don’t have the new pack they have bought out 

Has this been fixed for anyone? I’ve been gone all summer and was so excited to play my game when I got back and I updated the game and am having all the same exact issues as everyone else. Wondering if anyone figured out how to fix it since it seems like everyone was dealing with this about a month ago?

Same, but I have nearly every pack available. The sims 4 is running my gaming pc to its limit since the lovestruck update. I am still having crashing and finding new bugs every day. They issued a bug list that they are working to fix but the list was lacking imo. I play a lot. It’s frustrating to say the least. Glad to hear you can turn off the rental pack features to avoid the issues. 

I hope the new team will come up with more fixes for the latest EP, ASAP! In my opinion the player should always have the option to turn off features and gameplay in the game especially if EA is adding more DLC to the game every year after the 10th year of the game's life. Right now, if I buy anything for this game it will be on Sale! I'm only investing in kits at this point it's a shame.
