Gallery screenshot is blocked by trees/objects on several lots
There is an old thread about this issue from 8 years ago but since this is now an issue again, I want to report it. As the title says, when uploading a lot to the Gallery/Library the game generates the first screenshot wrong. Only showing trees instead of the house view. You don't see the lot anymore because trees are in front.

[AA] Child sim cancels interactions to play on BamCo playground equipment
I am trying to have my child Sim complete the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. But she won't sit down to complete the "practice typing" part; she always immediately jumps up to go and play on the new BamCo playground equipment from the new EP Adventure Awaits (which is in her backyard). My only workaround is to remove the equipment from the lot. I am playing on PC and have not used mods in many months due to the bugs they were creating. Edit by me: Just adding to my original post that child sims are also doing this away from home. I had a child sim on a getaway, and they perpetually stopped eating/drawing etc to go play on the playground equipment. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to be more general

[HSY] Indoor High School Lockers Turn Black and Block Lot Validation
Product: The Sims 4 Platform: PC (Steam) Pack: High School Years Issue: High School lockers appear completely black when placed indoors on High School lots. The lockers place and display correctly outdoors, but turn black immediately when placed inside a building. This issue occurs even in: - Brand new saves - Fresh user folder - Official High School lots from the Gallery - After reloading the lot and restarting the game Because lockers are required to validate High School lot requirements, the lot cannot be saved or used properly when lockers are broken indoors. This makes High School gameplay progression impossible. What I tried: - New save files - Replacing the lot from the Gallery - Reloading and restarting the game - Removing all mods - Repairing the game - Placing lockers in different rooms and buildings Result: Issue persists consistently. Indoor lockers remain black and unusable. Expected Result: High School lockers should display normally indoors and correctly count toward High School lot requirements.

Severe lag after 1 hour of gameplay : requires restart
Hi, I'm experiencing a major performance issue that seems to affect a lot of players (I asked my community and many confirmed having the same problem). When I first launch the game, everything runs smoothly. Menus like Needs, Inventory, and Aspirations open instantly. Build/Buy mode is fine too, with maybe a tiny freeze the first time, but that’s normal. The issue is: the longer I play, the worse the game performs. - After around 30 minutes, the menus start to feel a bit slower. - After about an hour, the game becomes extremely laggy: - Opening the Needs panel takes a few seconds. - Build/Buy mode freezes for 5–6 seconds before opening. - The Eyedropper tool has a delay of around 2 seconds. - UI and general interactions become very sluggish. The only fix is to completely restart the game. After relaunching, everything is smooth again — but only temporarily. After another 30–60 minutes, the problem comes back. This isn’t a hardware issue. My PC setup: - Intel Core i9-12900K - 64 GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Game installed on SSD - No mods, no CC - All expansion packs installed I also tend to play fast-paced, usually on speed 3. In one hour of real-time gameplay, I can go through 10–14 Sim days. It seems like the game is slowly filling up memory or cache that never clears unless I restart. It would be great to know if this has already been reported or tracked by the dev team, because it makes long play sessions really frustrating. Thanks!Crafted Items at lower price
Retail is BROKEN. I have removed all my Mods, Repaired game, ect. In my Art Gallery I make a painting set for sale at ay 1500.00. If I leave store and return the painting is now worth 200.00 I have to set not for sale then put into inventory and then put back up on wall and set for sale again for it to go back to 1500.00. Seems to only effect Normal and Excellent painting. Not happening with Masterpieces. Just happened on Last update. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title
