For Rent EP15
BugFor Rent Pack (EP15) causing get_plex_tile_count SystemError —lots invisible across ALL worlds and saves I have been experiencing a critical bug caused by the For Rent pack (EP15) since early April 2026. The bug affects every save including brand new games. What's happening: • All lots across every world appear invisible or blank/flat from the world map • Game gets stuck on loading screen • Every single session generates a SystemError: get_plex_tile_count returned NULL without setting an error from business_service.py and rental_unit_manager.py • BetterExceptions confirms 0% mod involvement — no broken mods, no invalid CC • Happens in brand new saves with zero mods installed • Game version: 1.123.66.1030 What I have tried: • Clearing all cache files repeatedly • Repairing the game through the EA app • Removing all mods and CC • Editing the save file directly to remove corrupted RentalUnitManager entries • Restoring older save backups • Starting brand new saves Nothing fixes it permanently. The only workaround is disabling EP15 entirely using -disablepacks:EP15. This is an EA bug that has been reported since 2023 and still has not been fixed. Please escalate this.
Stuck on the loading screen when exiting empty lots.
I've had this persistent issue where, upon exiting three of the lots in the San Myshuno neighbourhood, the loading screen gets stuck (going on forever), and the only way I can close the game is by forcing it through Task Manager. Two of the lots are now bulldozed and completely empty, so no mods are used there, but it keeps getting stuck. It took multiple tries to just get the game save the lots bulldozed, which only happened when I got lucky once or twice, and the loading screen was not stuck anymore. The third one I gave up on. The two lots that are empty now and lagging are in the Spice market neighbourhood (30x30), and the third one is one of the apartments in the Hakim house, Arts Quarter neighbourhood. Please help, as this is incredibly frustrating now, having 3 lots that are unusable, which significantly affects my game. Thanks in advance!
Certain sims needs frozen and not decreasing
Hello, recently come back to sims 4 after a couple of years. I’m playing on a gaming laptop, which is also able to run sims 3 perfectly. I’ve downloaded a few mods. Had MCC at the beginning, no issues. My sim adopted a toddler, again no issues. I then installed a couple other popular mods for gameplay and obviously cc along the way. Again, no issues. She aged up all the way to a teen, like she is now with no issues. However, when she was a child. My sims had a bag together. And since the baby has been an infant/toddler, their needs have never decreased. I’ve tried everything under the sun. I’ve tried resetting her multiple ways. I’ve tried with testing chests on and resetting her, also with MCC too. I’ve also tried disabling and enabling her needs to decay also. I’ve had her travel to reboot the needs etc. When I shift click on her and disable then enable her needs decaying, it does work for about a minute. However as soon as it’s rebooted and hunger, fun or bladder go down for example. It freezes at that and won’t budge either way. To add to the confusion. My sim had another baby, and the same thing has happened with him too. I noticed it when he was an infant as I was going 24hrs without feeding him. And he was never tired. I’ve done lots of resetting sims. I’ve also run the game without mods enabled in the options. And reset them, still no positive result from that either. im not sure if its a known glitch with the game. I would have thought if it was mods that it would have been obvious when I ran the game without anything. any help or ideas would be appreciated as I’m thinking about deleting the save file, which I don’t want to do. But it’s driving me insane! thanks in advance! :)
Save won't load
My current save won't load. The game launches but when I click to play my current house hold I get the blue loading screen and it just stays there. It won't actually load the save. I've waited several hours on multiple occasions. I googled trying to find a solution and it said I needed to update my mods or cc but I don't play with mods or cc. The last time I was able to successfully play I added 2 horses to my household. I'm not sure if that would cause it not to load. Is there anything I can do or do I just need to start over? Thanks
Resume Game causes never ending loading screen
I can sometimes 'load game' and repair the latest one and it will work for awhile. Usually until I travel somewhere (or go to work with a sim). Most recently, I was fixing up a newly purchased rental property and I had to return home to rent it out but I never got there. I've repaired the game numerous times, and repaired the saved games from the load game screen. I trashed the 'latest.. ' whatever/can't remember the wording, it's not crash) files from the Sims 4 folder in the Electronic Arts folder. It has not created another one since I did that, although I've had to force quit multiple times since. It's also been randomly quitting on me a lot more lately. I have just purchased a couple of packs from the exchange, and it seemed to happen after that. But I can't find those to disable them. If I uninstall the whole game, what will happen to my saved game? Can I uninstall and reinstall everything and make it work again with my existing game file? I'm on a mac laptop, OS 26.3.1 (a), No mods, but lots of additional content.“Ask to become partner” option does not appear
My sim has a full friendship and romance bar with another sim but the option to make them my partner does not appear. I don’t have any mods installed and my game is up to date. I’ve also checked their romance preferences and everything is fine. Can anyone help?Infinite loading screen
Hello, So, my sister and me worked very hard on a certain save file. After placing lots all over the worlds, certain lots just won't load. We don't use mods, don't go over the max rentals etc. I've tried creating a new save file, and here the lots do load. So, logically, I would say that there is a problem somewhere in this savefile of ours. Now my question, is there any way to find out what causes this? Like, is there a way to find out whichever lot we placed, or anything, causes this issue in our file? Or is completely doomed and do we have to start over, again? TBF, I'm getting pretty tired of this never ending issue. It seems, no matter how many times we start over, the files get corrupted anyways. I surely may expect that after 10+ years of this game, certain things have to work no? Or does everyone has to start over from time to time? How can I build a whole world if it gets corrupted again and again. I have a decent gaming PC, and both me and my sis find the same issue. I am truly sorry if this post comes off as agressive, or anything. I just feel so tired of having to build a cool world, for it to crash again. It really takes the fun out of playing this game. I tried: Verifying integrity Deleting cashes re-install the whole game But nothing. Help, are my sims days just over, or does someone have a tip here. Kind regards, Aurly
Corrupted Save
I have a save file that crashes the game back to the desktop whenever I try to load a household. It is a very large save file with about 800 sims (including NPCs) and does contain multiple very complex family trees. I also do rotational play in this save. One family in particular contains a situation where one sim has more than 25 children with 8 different partners, with most of those partners also having children with other partners. Monogamy is not a thing in my save! Also, many of my large families marry into other large families repeatedly. This was never a problem until the Royalty and Legacy patch. I am currently rebuilding the save file from scratch, and I am making some cuts and edits to reduce the number of sims and the complexity of family trees. Since I can still load the old save file as long as I don't load a household, I'm saving off my sims to the tray to be imported into the new save file. My concern is whether I'm just going to recreate the problem if I import all of my sims and recreate the incredibly complex family trees, especially for the one sim that had many partners. At time of writing, I've kept that one sim monogamous (with 13 children with his wife, and all of his grandchildren from them and their partners) during the rebuild and things seem to be okay. But, I'd like to eventually restore that one sim's children with other partners, 14 of them, and all of the grandchildren from them with other partners that I honestly can't count how many of them there are. I'm basically looking for some guidance into how far I can go to rebuild the save file, and specifically how complex I can make a family tree before I cause a problem. If too many children are a problem, or too many connections with other families are a problem, I need to know those limits. If those limits aren't intended, then I hope I can help with a patch. I am willing to provide a save file for analysis in addition to a LastCrash file, which I already know is a Stack Overflow error from my own analysis, and DxDiag should that be necessary. The save file will be a "Mods Removed" save file. I can explain more to the EA staffer that contacts me.
