Update buggy

Are you using any lot traits or lot challenges? I also just had this problem and I started testing things, removing my lot traits and challenges allowed me to unbrick the game!

I had the lot traits:
Homey, Convivial, and Natural Well
I had the lot challenges:
Off-The-Grid, Simple Living, Wild Foxes, and Wild Prairie Grass

Hope this helps! I was extremely frustrated when it first happened to me too :)

Yes!!!!!! I feel the same way with the same problems, every update breaks the game😭😞

I've been having this same issue and so far nothing has helped to fix it.

Oh, good i’m not the only one… I have tried EVERYTHING the last 2 hours but my Sims never starts correct and things stop working.. all after the update last night.. sooo annoying!! 

These updates test the game that you are playing.  Make sure everything in your game is updated, that's the best that you can do, the rest is on EA.

I'm experiencing the same issues as everyone else with this new update. EA suggested renaming the folder for being stuck on the loading screen and when I did that, it completely wiped my game. All of the characters and houses I've saved but haven't added to the gallery have been deleted. 

Also having the same problem!

Yeah I don’t know. I can’t find any other updates. And immediately I open the game and press ”technical support” ex it dosen’t even open a new window for that in my internet. Can’t even shut down the game correct..

Remove off-the-grid traits from your lots.

We always need an Update to fix the latest update, it's the never ending story...🤪

Even their advice needs an update.🤥

Same issue, I hope we can find a solution very soon

Any word from EA about fixing their own mistakes?

How do you remove the lot traits if you cannot load into the lot?

Oh NO!!! 😨That has happened to me several times. I used to try all kinds of stuff, after the updates broke the game, to get my game to work. More than a few times, I have wiped the whole game, lost everything I had spent months building and creating. It's very discouraging, which is why I am constantly uploading my content to the cloud and not just my library.  I would suggest trying to do a restore point on your PC to see if you can go back before you lost everything. Good luck, and in the future, upload your content you don't want to loose. 

With regards to the being unable to click/change between sims, something I've tried is by going to Settings > Game Options > Graphics > Tick DirectX 9 > Apply. Requires a restart of the game, but so far it's allowed me to switch between my sims.

I've yet to find more bugs with the recent update though >.< Hopefully it works for you with that certain issue 🥺😥☺️
