Unauthorized Grim Skin Purchase Before I Even Entered the Game
I am seeking assistance regarding an unauthorized purchase that occurred in Skate. I launched the game and was on the “Press A to Continue” screen. As the game was loading, I was pressing A to move through the startup screens and enter the game. During this process, the game displayed a black screen. Believing the game was still loading, I continued pressing A. Without entering the store, without browsing items, and without selecting any item for purchase, I suddenly received a notification that the Grim skin had been purchased and thousands of SV Bucks had been deducted from my account. I had not even reached the game’s menus yet, let alone opened the shop. The first time I saw the Grim skin was after the purchase had already been completed. I never knowingly authorized this transaction and never intended to spend my SV Bucks on this item. At the beginning of Season 4, I purchased the Dim Bones Pack and had been saving those SV Bucks to spend throughout the season. Before this unauthorized purchase occurred, I had around 3,000 SV Bucks on my account. After the transaction, I was left with roughly 1,000 SV Bucks and a skin that I have no interest in using. If I had intentionally decided to spend over 2,000 SV Bucks, there are many other items currently available that I would have chosen instead. The Grim skin is not something I would have purchased. I contacted EA Help regarding this issue and explained exactly what happened. Unfortunately, I was told that in-game purchases are non-refundable and that there was no way to reverse the transaction. What I find frustrating is that this was not a normal purchase made through the store. I was not shopping, I was not browsing cosmetics, and I had not even entered the game yet when the purchase occurred. As a customer, it doesn’t feel right that an unauthorized purchase can happen during a black screen before reaching the game and there is apparently no way to have it reviewed or corrected. I am not asking for free currency or a cash refund. I am simply asking for the Grim skin to be removed and the SV Bucks returned to my account This happend less than 24 hours ago from this post I started EA help as soon as it happend. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or can a member of the Skate team please review this situation?
Vampiric Grimborn Infant Issues
Hello, I am having an issue where my Grimborn infant has no interactions for her. Mom is a vampire in a house with roommates. No one can interact with the baby and says the caregiver needs to introduce her ...to her own mother. I removed all mods, I cleared cache, I repaired the game and even loaded a back up. Even re aging her up from the backup with out any mods installed caused the same issue. I have no last exception saying anything about it. I double checked and no one has the beloved trait either, if that is still an issue that even occurs. Is there a way I can fix this? Or do I have to force it past the infant and hope the toddler works fine?

After updating The Sims 4 and opening the save for the first time in april 2026, every household crashes to desktop when entering Live Mode. I can still access Manage Worlds, CAS, and Build Mode. Other saves load and play normally. Tested with Mods folder removed and cache cleared. Created a brand-new household in the affected save and it also crashes. Recovered multiple backup versions of the save and they all crash.I can’t access the cheating console, can someone please help!
Using ctrl+shift+c used to work fine for me but for the past couple months it stopped working. I have tried uninstalling all my mods and tried other combinations of keys but nothing is working! Does anyone have any other solution for this? I’m playing on mac btw.
Desperately In Need Of Builders' Help
So I'm trying to recreate this lot found in Brindleton Bay's Cavalier Cove neighbourhood, but I just CAN'T get past the front entrance. Have a look at the pictures... As you can see from the above picture the wall isn't on a raised platform, as shown from the siding going all the way to the ground, and also no partition between the colour separation. OK, easy enough. But as you can see from the stairs in front of the door, it's raised from the ground, also with no platform separation. The front entrance is also taller than the wall it is against ⬇️ The second picture shows it from another angle. So my question is this... How do I create a lower staircase that ends by the brick section of the panneling (because putting a staircase in front extends it to the top of the wall). 2. How do I make the front wall taller than the wall it is against (because when I do it as a separate room and select the tall wall, the rest of the lot is automatically converted to tall walls, as well). Phew... I hope I got the message across clearly enough for someone to understand and help.Please scrap Skate.
This game has nothing to do with the grime and grunge of real skate culture and replaced it with AI slop and corporate greed. And to add a subscription service perfectly shows how this game was made with little thought with only the intentions that it will make money. We have a little joke in the car mechanic buisness, "cars are being made now for old people and tasteless corporate desk jockeys" the average game saying... "games are now made for money, greed, and kids" if you really do "hear out" your people look deeper into what people think of games like this and make changes based on what people wants, not what makes wealthy people more wealthy.

Community Park "Voting"
Could you implement an easy voting system on Community Parks in the game? I love the new changes to the Community Parks. I feel like the layouts are designed much better and flow really smoothly compared to previous seasons. Today, for example, the Hedgemont one had nice setups that I'd love to be implemented in the map or upcoming parts of the map in the future. I was wondering if like a simple voting system wouldn't be useful to get feedback from the community on what is (dis)liked. It'll also give us a reason/incentive to check out the rotation of parks more frequently. And getting feedback from the community... isn't that what early access is all about?
