Stuck In Their Shadow: Promotion skips to Level 6
During this scenario, when you need to be promoted to level 5 of the Tech Guru Career, it automatically skips to level 6. This means you can't complete the scenario step/goal to move forward with the story. I tried to use "testingcheats true" and then "careers.demote TechGuru" but it just automatically fires you, you can't be at level 5, which renders the scenario impossible to complete.

[CHEATS] Sentiment cheats no longer working
Recently, I was trying to get my teenage sim to develop a crush on a friend AND trying to remove a crush from another rando (who is her first cousin, twice removed, but still.. ew) and the modifyrelationship cheat is not working. ] I have HSY and have repeatedly used the "modifyrelationship firstname lastname firstname lastname (100 or -100) sentimenttrack_" command, and once I press enter, it just disappears and makes no change. I've tried restarting the game and have also redone the cheat multiple times, and have tried using ID numbers instead... nothing. Trying to figure out if this is a me issue, a mod issue, or something else because I've seen others mention it on Reddit forums :) Edit by crinrict: Adjusted title to fit migrated bug report: [CHEATS] Sentiment cheats no longer working | EA Forums - 11706768 Archived thread had 20 me toos
White Ad and UI Exception
When launching my game after 1.121.361 patch, I get a white pop-up for some kind of ad that is accompanied by a lastuiexception. No idea what the ad is supposed to be for, maybe the new pack (I DO NOT have the new pack)? I'm able to just x out of it without any issue, but wanted to mention it anyway. This is on a completely vanilla game load! I'm also on a 13-inch, M1 2020 MacBook Pro & play on the EA App. Here's the UI exception: <?xml version="1.0" ?><root> <report><version>2</version><sessionid>7109d05eb9fd7864698e3fb1</sessionid><type>desync</type><sku>ea.maxis.sims4.15.macarm64</sku><createtime>2026-02-12 21:02:12</createtime><buildsignature>Local.Unknown.Unknown.1.121.361.1220-1.300.000.233.Release</buildsignature><categoryid>(AS)widgets.Engagement.controls::EngagementMessagePane</categoryid><desyncid>7109d05eb9fd7864698e3fb1</desyncid><systemconfig/><screenshot/><desyncdata>ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable widgets.Engagement.controls.EngagementMessageLayoutFSIWith2Slots1 is not defined. at widgets.Engagement.controls::EngagementMessagePane/CreateInstance() at widgets.Engagement.utils::EngagementMessageUtils/DefaultUMMessagePaneFactory() at widgets.Engagement.utils::EngagementMessageUtils/CreateUMMessagePaneClassFactory() at widgets.Engagement.utils::EngagementMessageUtils/CreateMessagePane() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/ConfigUI() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/ConfigUI() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/OnAddedToStage() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/OnAddedToStage() at olympus.dialog::DialogManager/ProcessDialogRequest() at olympus.dialog::DialogManager/ProcessNextDialog() at olympus.dialog::DialogManager/HandleTransitionScreenHideComplete() at olympus.io::CommunicationObject/Dispatch() at olympus.io::CommunicationManager/SendUIMessage() at olympus.io::CommunicationManager/SendMessage() at widgets.TransitionScreen::TransitionScreenMoleculeMain/OnTransitionAnimationOutComplete() at widgets.TransitionScreen.controls::TransitionScreenAnimation/OnAnimationOutComplete() rtim=1626 Client Session Time: 19.07 Num Save Errors: 0 Num Load Errors: 0 Current Game State: 0x96d01090 LoadingScreenActiveFlag: 1 Origin Version: 13,631,0,6144 Modded: False SystemInfo: Mac OS X Version 26.2 (Build 25C56) GPU: Apple M1 macOS Metal driver 0.0.0.0 Architecture: arm64 </desyncdata></report> </root>
