Moving Mods folder
I am trying to free up space on my daughter’s laptop. To do the the latest Sims update I moved the mods folder to the D drive, usually once the update is complete there’s just enough space to move the Mods folder back…. Not this time. I’ve watched and read a lot of guides about setting up a symbolic link to the moved Mods folder but it keeps saying the folder already exists. The folder was originally moved but cut and paste I’ve deleted the empty mods folder from the existing location (as it reappeared after I opened the game) so I am out of ideas and now stuck. Any advice welcome. Also would a mod manager help get the size of the mod folder down? And what is a good a safe mod manager download?Can’t pay rent to my NPC landlord
I can’t pay the rent to my landlord and now I am getting notifications that I my rent is overdue. I have tried debugging the mailbox, I’ve checked if I can pay on the phone, as well as the computer but the option does not show up. I have even tried using the cheat households.force_bills_due but nothing works. I really loved the For Rent pack until this started happening…. is there any way to fix this?"How does that work, anyway?" Ask me anything!
Are you curious how something in the game actually works under the hood? What a certain buff does? How a certain trait changes things? What benefits there are to something-or-other? I have a series of posts on my patreon (free, don't worry!) explaining in-depth how game mechanics work. You can view a list of them with links here! (You may need to click the tab on the bottom) I want to do a mish-mash post for smaller random things, so I'm doing an AMA! Tell me what little things you're curious about and I will peek into how they work. I think it's a lot of fun to find this information and explain it! I am moving, so I won't be doing this constantly and I'll be away for all of tomorrow, but I'll try to answer anything that isn't too complicated. I probably won't explain whole features (Each of the linked posts takes a good amount of time to dig into) but I can explain smaller stuff! Don't be afraid to ask mechanical questions, too, like "How does a trait, in general, make something-or-other happen" or whatever.352Views9likes7CommentsWeird cloud
Hi there! Does anyone recognise what this weird cloud might be?? It just appeared and I’ve tried to delete objects nearby that could be causing it, I’ve vacuumed, I’ve deleted the floor, and yet it persists. I do have cc installed but wanted to check here if anyone had seen this before.SolvedInventory Bug Impacting Game
I just bought the Business and Hobbies expansion pack ON TOP of the newest update for the Sims 4, and as soon as I open my sims inventory it bugs out. I can't go to build mode, manage worlds, open certain tabs like the social bar and needs, and other things I'm sure. But it's completely fine UNTIL I open the inventory?? I know this is a CC problem. Ive already tried disabling it and restarted the game to see if the personal inventory menu still has the bug; its gone, and when I enable CC back on, it comes back. Again, CC Issue. Anyone know what could suddenly counteracting with the update/business and hobbies expansion? I will continue to work through my mod folder and figure it out if there's no answer. I'll let you know what I figure out.SolvedThe Life of a Sims 4 Bug
Sul Sul! In yesterday's Laundry List we provided a behind the scenes look at the process we follow of identifying and resolving bugs in The Sims 4. In the interest of transparency as well as to preserve this information for future audiences I've transcribed it here as well: 🐞 Issue is Discovered & Verified When a player reports an issue via our EA Forums, a friendly Community Manager or EA Forums superuser will see if help can be provided through troubleshooting and alternative methods to try, confirming if the game is working as intended, or if this may be an issue related to mods. If not, they'll check whether the issue has already been reported to merge it with an existing thread or start a new one. A ticket is then made for our Quality Assurance (QA) team to review. They may need to collect more information from players to reproduce the bug on their devices, which is critical for the next steps and why we always encourage players to provide as much specific detail as possible when reporting an issue. Our Sims teams are also discovering and reporting issues internally that get documented alongside player reported issues. Due to the wide variety of freedom with The Sims 4, plus the randomness and variation in playstyles and player options, it’s impossible to truly test every possible scenario. This means that some issues may only appear in specific environments, and while we strive to address as many as we can prior to launch, we appreciate your understanding. When QA is able to reproduce the issue, they will file a ticket for an engineer to review and give it a severity rating, which can depend on how many votes it has received and how disruptive to gameplay the issue is for players. Your votes matter! 🔎 Fix is Investigated & Created A team of engineers will be assigned to work on an issue and figure out the cause. The scope, type, and risk of bug fixes can vary wildly, from relatively simple fixes through to complete code system restructures. Given the almost infinite variations of devices, operating systems, unique combinations The Sims 4 content installed, unique gameplay styles, and mods downloaded, it can be no small feat to identify the root cause! Once the engineer understands what’s causing the technical issue, they can start to plan how to best resolve it. Fixes can bring their own unique challenges, such as accidentally introducing more issues, which is the last thing we want to do. When the engineer has created a fix, the QA team comes back into the mix, to test each fix before it’s released to ensure the fix works as intended across all platforms. 🚀 Fix is Deployed to Players If that all looks good, the code is then submitted for review for final approval. Once approved, it’s scheduled to be deployed during a specific release. We understand that with each update, there’s the potential to disrupt your gameplay, and so our team takes care to group as many fixes together as possible to limit downtime. This essential yet often behind-the-scenes work involves collaboration across multiple teams. We prioritize issues based on both the reports and votes from the community, as well as the bugs identified by our QA team. Thank you for your continued reports and votes on what issues you want us to address!Solved1.4KViews20likes20CommentsChild sim question/help
Do child sims have the option to change out of wet clothes after being out in the rain? Or have they ever been able too?? It's been so long since I've had a child sim and all my adult sims have the trait where they don't get wet, but I swear I remember an option for adult sims to change out of wet clothes after getting the uncomfortably wet moodlet either by clicking on them or a dresser. I might be completely wrong on this or imagining things, it's driving me round the bend a little either way 😂 if someone could put me straight on this I'd very much appreciate it 😊
