[LD] [DU] Memorial Portraits/Graduation pictures show up blank
The memorial portraits from the Life and Death Expansion Pack appear to be bugged as they no longer generate an image of a deceased sim, instead showing a blank white image. Extra Information: I'm on Windows 11 PC I'm on Version 1.117.227.1030 DX11 of the game. I don't have Journey to Batuu and Outdoor Retreat Game Packs, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio and Luxury Party Stuff Packs, Refined Living Room, First Fits, Industrial Loft, Courtyard Oasis, Country Kitchen, Throwback Fit and Fashion Street Kits. Found initially in a modded save, but I tested in a non modded new save and the issue still occured. Edit by crinrict There's a few similar issues now. Please everyone use the appropriate thread for the issue you are seeing.

[FFQE] Week 1: Tasks not completing
Edit by crinrict Please use this thread for issues with week 1 tasks. If you have issues with placing the stuffed friend near stuff, make sure to turn off moveObjects.

Forever Friends Event is broken. 💔 ✅ Move Stuffed Toy by TV: Doesn't check off as completed with BB.MoveObjects enabled. Disabling corrects issue ✅ Buy a Toybox: Doesn't check off as completed even though I bought a toy box using the Eyedropper Tool. It doesn't count as completed because I deleted the toybox before exiting BB Mode (to save simoleons, my Sims already owned a Toybox). Once I bought the Toybox and exited live mode, the task was checked off as completed. If my Sims own a Toybox already, why do they have to buy another one? This is what I mean about how Events force simmers to play the game in ways they never would (and don't want to). 🐞 Place a Stuffed Animal near a Toybox: This is completely broken, doesn't check off as completed with BB.MoveObjects is enabled or disabled. No matter how many times I pick up the Stuffed Toy and place it next to the Toybox, the task never checks off as completed. I tried all of the following and had no success with checking off the task: Repositioned the Stuffed Animal in Live Mode; nothing. Added/Removed the Stuffed Toy from a Sim's inventory and repositioned in Live Mode; nothing. Added/Removed the Stuffed Toy and Toy box from the Household's inventory and repositioned; nothing. Enabled/disabled BB.MoveObjects and repositioned the Stuffed Toy and Toy Box in BB; nothing. Bought a new Stuffed Animal and Toy box from BB and repositioned; nothing. ✅ Finally, once I closed the game and restarted my Xbox, magically the task checks off once I play the same household... WHY?! I beg the team to consider cancelling this Event and all future Events. The team is clearly overloaded with bug reports already, and these Events just add more workload. I love the Sims and appreciate new content, but I want the game (and events) to be playable first. This new Event being broken is just a repeat of the Reaper Rewards Event all over again, and it hurts soooo much. Please, just go back to Login Events or SDX drops. When Simmers asked for more challenging gameplay in events, I am 100% sure they didn't want it at the expense of the event being broken! The resources used to create these broken events should really go to bug fixes instead💔 MISC INFO: Fresh save, testingcheats not enabled. Xbox Series X, all packs & pre-order content installed. Version 2.20.4.2300 Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to be this only about week 1. Will get too much of a mixture otherwise.
Saving Lots from/to Gallery causes LUIE/Getting stuck
I will try to save builds to the gallery or save builds from the gallery (it happens both ways) and it will sometimes fail to do so. When it does, it either will let me click out of it and try again or move on to something else, or it will trigger this white endless loading screen where I can't do anything and have to just close the whole game and reopen it (which is why I've started playing in windowed mode so I can just click the little x). Fixing these issues with the gallery should be a top priority bug to fix! It has nothing to do with CC or mods since there are none and have never been. I'm going to attach some last exceptions that the game generated since the last patch. I imagine they are related to this issue since I can't think of anything else they would be related to. Note from EA_Solaire: Hello all, If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

Tiny Builds Halloween Challenge
Happy October everyone! Hope your summer was great and you’re perhaps enjoying the seasonal changes as several of us head into fall! On that note… Hidehi2 , Sandraelle and I soocoolsim are in the very, very early stages behind the scenes preparing for our next world collaboration. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to host a Halloween themed tiny build challenge and hope you join in! Creating a tiny build is already daunting, however let’s step it up a notch with the following: Challenge criteria Create a Residential or Community build, and build as high or low as you wish, however the lot size cannot be larger than 10x10. Align with the Halloween theme and use at least 2 of the following as predominant colours in your build: orange, black, purple, green, grey. Include at least 3 objects from any of the free EA Store Halloween Treats collections All EPs, SPs and official EA store content can be used, however no external 3rd party content please. You can Custard check your export file to double-check. More than one submission is fine, and you can also link to a sim or household created for your residential build. No budget limit so let your imagination soar! When your creation is available on the Exchange, just reply here with the name of your build, download link and up to 5 pictures including the front view. You can link to additional media if desired. Submission deadline for inclusion in the challenge showcase video: Oct 29, 2025 Tips! Do play test your builds to ensure no routing issues. Don’t want to have those sims stomping and getting stuck right! Windows and flooring tiles can go wonky if placed too near the lot edges. Adding them at least 1 square away should work, however test your build by placing a copy elsewhere in the world. Take a look around to ensure all is fine and fix this and any floating tiles as needed before final export. Take screenshots in Live mode. That removes gridlines from view and looks more attractive. A Tiny Town by Rflong7 is a great builders world for use with this challenge since it includes about 30 empty 10x10 lots. Looking forward to seeing your tiny Halloween creations!

Excessive Shopping Cart Popups
Since the last patch I have had continual popups show up on the shopping cart icon, promoting the, Grange Mud Room kit. I used to get a popup every now and again advertising this and that, but now it happens, every time I travel with a sim, every time I enter and leave CAS, every time I go into edit world. It covers in game notifications and is very distracting. At first when I enter the game there is noting on the cart for about 5 minutes, then the light shows up and the popups begin. I am playing on PC, in a completely vanilla game that has never had mods/CC installed. I have all Expansion, game and stuff pack and also have most kits. I am finding this situation to be very invasive in my gaming time and it is putting me off playing and definitely putting me off purchasing any more kits or up and coming packs. Note from EA_Solaire: Hello all, If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), could you please provide screenshots or video clips of this occurring in-game to assist with our investigation? Thanks!
[XB/PS] Can't rotate lot
When in build mode on my XBOM, I'm trying to rotate when I select to move my lot or move my house. The rotate (LT, RT) buttons just exit out of the move. Note from EA_Solaire: Hi all, If you're playing on PlayStation could you please share your save file (instructions here: [INFORMATION] How to Send User Files to The Sims 4 Team ) to help us investigate into this further? For Xbox players, there's currently not a way for you to share your saves with us, but please continue to report any issues you experience in this thread. Thank you!Entire Home is deleted by entering build mode
I play on Xbox one and since the update/ep, when I enter build mode the entire home deletes itself. I was able to build the home before I moved a family into the lot, but once the family was living there, I entered build mode and the lot immediately deleted. I had not clicked or attempted to do anything else. Simply clicking the build mode button completely deleted my house. I went to an earlier save and tried it again and it happened again. I am trying to attach a short screen clip of what happens and it is not attaching.
