Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (after 1.102.190/1.82)
My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit migrated bug report: [ARCHIVED] Photos/Paintings turning black (1.102.190/1.82) | EA Forums - 11628056 Archived thread had around 37 me toos EDIT by crinrict The photos get removed from your save game with this bug. There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.
Outfits
Can we maybe add the ability to customize the colors and patterns on the clothes for if the color scheme we want for our sims isn't in the choices? I loved that about sims 3 and while I love the clothing choices a little better on 4, and the color schemes on the clothes are usually great, I miss the ability to make customized colors and patterns. I miss this for the makeup, hair and eyes too.
Raiders Of The Lost Island Consignment Shop
This has been on the go since 11th October 2011 (!) and is now up to episode one hundred and forty five, featuring the Simselves of various past and present members of the Simming community down the years (quite a few we had to either make ourselves or 'rescue') plus some other characters thrown in, on the hunt to solve the mystery of the Winterbottom Code and make sure the secrets Gilbert Winterbottom took to his unknown grave fall into the right hands (or at least not into the wrong ones). But as this is the Simsworld, subplots, subplots of the subplots and all manner of shenanigans have intervened as a result (although it still makes more sense that the last series of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" ...) In the latest episode, young xxMaddi, her tulpa twin Dim-Daxx and fellow renegade 'Hand Maiden' Jaden Thorn, along with Boolprop's Tygercat12 and scientist Lao Tzu, have been sailing for their lives in the Simediterranean Sea away from Nilxi's holiday paradise of Plavi Raj before he can send the Nilxisarmada after them (after a 'small misunderstanding' in the Chapel of Santa Carlos Ramirez) - not realising Nilxis is currently preoccupied dealing with Crowkeeper's sudden pyrotechnic riddled appearance to deliver her latest doom filled prophecy. (The sailing boats are from Murfeel's blog for anyone interest, although obviously the Granny Roger sail complete with blue rinse wig, false teeth and hip replacements doesn't come with it) Unfortunately, they have now discovered they're not quite getting the warm, friendly welcome they were expecting at their pre-arranged rendezvous with the the Fair Fey of the Fairy Realm ... ... owing to the small fact they appeared to have mislaid the Princess Ofelia who was with them ...
Short dirty nail swatch causing Sim to look metallic
The new short dirty nails from the July 1st update cause visual glitches with my sims. Video and photo attached showing what exactly happens. I'm on PS5 with no mods. The longer dirty nail set seems to work just fine, only the shorter one is giving me visual glitching.

Hi, I have a problem with the latest September 2025 update on PC: The hiking sandals from the call of the wild event and the new headband are still spawning on the new townies in my game. It's a bit weird and I think it's a game bug. Hiking sandals spawn on all swimwear townies, and the headband spawns very often unlike other hats. Do other people have the same problem? Is there a solution? I only use the MCC mod but it still happens without this mod.
Incoherent/unpractical things
Here's a list of things that doesn't make sense in the game to me anymore, given the content we've been receiving lately, it's clear that those things turns the game icoherent and sometimes give us no freedom, even breaking immersion. • Life state slot it's hidden for human sims and we can't switch the traits in a alredy created occult sim. ✅ • Can't create ghosts (and skeletons) in CAS even knowing that all we need is a death cause trait. (Base) ✅ • Can't wear female swimsuit as tops like the Pride and Realm Of Magic ones. (Base) • Masculine clothes only earns a breast shadow in feminine frames, but female clothes keeps it in masculine frames. (Base) • Having to check the door for visitors/services everytime, cause we don't have a notification for their arrival. (Base) • Invited sims entering our house without permission or house key. (Base) • "Welcome wagon" starts without our consentiment, the neighbors don't even know if someone's home. (Base) • Fear interactions and running scared being so overreactive and not stricted to "Terrified" emotion. (Base) • Social events don't have a "free entry" option. (Base) • Sims can't refuse a promotion. (Base) • Some level descriptions of entertainer career makes it look more about comedy than general entertainment. (Base) • Piano skill not included in entertainer career's promotion tasks. (Base) • Pools increasing hygiene. (Base) • Parents unable to invite their child's friends to their birthday party, because they don't know them. (Base) • Aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparents options not available for selection in CAS. (Base) • Sims do not react with animations when getting moodlets. (Base) • Human mixed skin color not shared with aliens and vice versa. (Get to Work) • Can't delete or link alien's disguise. (Get to Work) • Can't go to the Hospital as patient like NPCs in the medical career. (Get to Work) • Unable to send a sim alone to club meetings. (Get Together) • Cancel holidays and getting a sad moodlet. (Seasons) • No "turn off" option for surprise holiday generation. (Seasons) • No notifications for Sulani festivals. (Island Living) • Skeletons unable to wear clothes like Bonehilda and face paint/hair/wigs like mexican skeletons do. (Jungle Adventures) • Spellcasters being occults but not having an occult form. (Realm of Magic) • Collectible pets/familiars not having interactions like rodents does. (Base, Get to Work, Outdoor Retreat, Realm of Magic) • Occults using disguise while being ghosts. (Get to Work, Vampires, Island Living, Werewolves) • Ghosts, Aliens, Merfolk and Werewolves unable to access Vampires' details, like spellcasters do. (Get to Work, Vampires, Island Living & Werewolves) ✅ Do you guys have any other complaint like these?
[CCSP] Career Outfits Won't Keep Jewelry On
PC, mods disabled/removed "Wear with All Outfits" does not include Career (unless wearing Career Outfit), and when wearing a Career Outfit and selecting "Wear with All Outfits" it only lasts till next time they change back into Career again (from another outfit). So constantly having to reapply or change into another outfit to get the moodlets back, but as this Sims is mostly in Career or Sleep the moodlets just are always dropping/removed. Edit By Crinrict: adjusted pack tag to fit conventions of the forum.Townie Outfit Generator Creates Incoherent/ Mismatched Clothing Combinations
Steps to Reproduce: Start a new save or load an existing one. Go to any public lot and observe the generated townies. Check the outfits they are wearing. Expected Result: Townies should spawn in outfits that look intentional and coherent (matching style, clothing category, and overall appearance). Actual Result: Townies often spawn in outfits that are completely mismatched, with clothing items from unrelated categories (e.g., workout shorts with formal tops, clashing accessories, hats or random items thrown together that look horrible). This creates unrealistic and immersion-breaking appearances. Notes: It seems like the game is pulling clothing items at random without checking if they work together. 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)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.
