Glitching during build mode
Hi! When I go into build mode, and also in game play, I get these glitches. Sometimes they disappear, but they quickly come back. I have removed all mods, cc, but the glitch is still there. I have also made a new file for sims 4, but the problem persists. Does anyone know what could be causing this and if so, how to fix it? Thankful for any kind of help😅
EA Forums Online Security Newsletter - Volume 4/ 2026
Welcome to the fourth edition of EA Forums Online Security Newsletter Hello everyone, and welcome back to another edition of the EA Forums Online Security Newsletter! Last month, we explored the importance of Two-Factor Authentication (TFA/MFA) and how it adds an extra layer of protection to your account. If you haven’t enabled it yet, it’s definitely worth revisiting-small steps like that can make a big difference in keeping your account secure. This month, we’re shifting focus to something many players enjoy but don’t always think about from a security perspective: mods. Whether you’re customizing your experience in The Sims 4 or exploring content in Command & Conquer Remastered, mods can enhance gameplay, but they also come with risks if not handled carefully. Let’s take a closer look at how to stay safe when downloading, creating, and sharing mods. This edition is also the first edition of Season 2! You still have a chance to claim your points for the next 7 days for Edition 3 of the Newsletter! A new Season means you’ll need to register for Season 2 with a new class, but you will still use the same key you received upon first registration. Remember, you must choose a different class than the one you selected in Season 1. For example, if you picked Sentinel in Season 1, your options for the next Season are: Cipher, Scout, and Archivist. If anything is unclear, head over to the EA Forums Online Security Newsletter Badge Handbook, or feel free to ask questions here in the thread. Stay safe! Mods are a great way to personalize your game, but they also introduce something important- external content. Unlike official updates, mods are created and shared by other users, which means you’re placing trust in sources outside the game’s ecosystem. That trust needs to be earned, not assumed. One of the most common mistakes is downloading mods from unknown or unverified websites. A file might promise new content, better graphics, or gameplay advantages, but behind the scenes, it could contain harmful software. Attackers often rely on curiosity and excitement, especially when popular mods or trending content are involved. Even legitimate-looking mod pages can be misleading. Fake download buttons, shortened links, or cloned websites can redirect you to unsafe files. Taking a moment to double-check URLs, avoid suspicious redirects, and stick to trusted creators can help you avoid unnecessary risks. Another important point is that mods are not supported across all EA games. They are allowed only in The Sims 4 and Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. Attempting to use mods in unsupported games can lead not only to technical issues or account suspensions but also to security concerns, especially if you’re encouraged to install unofficial tools or bypass normal game protections. For those creating mods, security matters just as much. Sharing files responsibly means ensuring your content is clean, clearly described, and hosted on reliable platforms. Transparency builds trust within the community and helps others feel confident when downloading your work. It’s also worth remembering that game updates can affect mods. After updates, some mods may break or behave unpredictably. Downloading “quick fixes” from random sources in a rush to restore functionality is a common way players expose themselves to risk. Waiting for updates from trusted creators is always the safer choice. At its core, mod safety comes down to awareness and habits. Stick to reputable sources, avoid anything that feels rushed or suspicious, and treat every download as something that deserves a second look. A few extra seconds of caution can save you from much bigger problems later.

Dear EA Team, I’ve been trying to look for help for the past 3 months now and still no luck. My Apex account has been Hijacked and got banned for Gameplay Enhancement which I was most definitely not using. 3 days ago, I got the message that My username has been changed. Turned off 2 step verification.Password changed. I managed to secure my account. So I tried to appeal for the Ban with 100% proof that I was hacked, I always get the same message that my appeal has been declined. I feel like not a real Human being is looking into my Situation. So I had to Chat with an Agent to help me out, because the Email Us option is missing. This was his response. See Attachments. Why am I being treated like this? I really didn’t deserve to be treated like this. I’ve spent over 3k hours playtime and $10k plus on Apex Legends and still get punished for supporting the game. The sad part about this entire Situation is that I mainly play on Console because I thought I wouldn’t run into Cheaters on Console. The real Cheaters on Console are still not banned. So I am asking kindly to look into my problem. Best Regards
Features that i would like to see added
When pressing pause and going too the map and you see the white circles with the black in the middle ... aka the player icons ... we should be able to hover over them and click on them and look at there profile and teleport too them etc would be a nice feature also if you have player names disabled and a person joins your party would be nice too have the option too turn there names on so basically like another setting with the disable names setting and maybe just have it too where you can only see friends and party members names would be a nice feature too have in the game.
