Corrupted file that doesn't exist
I just downloaded the Sims 4 onto my new PC. I transferred my mods file over too, which has been running fine on my mac. At first, I got a notification that there was a corrupted file. Okay, I deleted it. Error still pops up. I repair my game, reinstall my game, get rid of my mods file completely. It still shows up. The file does not exist anymore. How the hell do I fix this? Because I can't even open my Sims game anymore.
Game keeps crashing but won't generate lastcrash.txt
Every time I load up Sims 4, I can play for either 2 minutes or 1 hour before my game freezes and shortly thereafter crashes to desktop. No lastcrash.txt generates, though? This issue has only started in the past week or so... and it's really frustrating as I play Sims almost everyday. I've done the 'Sims 4_Backup' folder method, repaired the game, updated my drivers, tried to see what in particular makes the crash happen (nothing does, sometimes my Sim will be doing their university homework or playing with their pet, it doesn't seem to matter). I've also gone through other threads and disabled the BIOS Turbo Boost thingy and even Google Background services. So idk, I'm unsure if my save or family is corrupt, as I have gotten the 'household failed to load' issue before, but fixed it by loading a different household and then going back to my main. I've yet to the 50/50 method or play vanilla, but I just first wanted assistance and what I'm confused the most about is why a lastcrash.txt isn't being generated e.g. is it more a PC issue? I do play other games such as Civ6 or Overwatch or TES with high graphics, etc. and don't crash... Here are my specs and dxdiag: Windows 11 Pro Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400F 2.50 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) Thank you for any help!!! :)
Game crashes, fades to black then white screens with black lines.
Hi!! I'm autistic and very anxious with computers so this is all new to me, My issue started last night with the game in build mode after I downloaded a few new mods on curse forge, It was only a few clutter mods, kitchen things and a house, my file for sims mods isn't large, only 3.5GB max. When I'm playing, the screen will lag and fade to a black screen before going white, and when I drag my mouse, black lines appear where its dragged. I know its the sims because its not happening on any other game. I've re-installed all of the mods Curse forge had flagged, but some mods aren't shown on curse forge that I had downloaded on SFS or Patreon. Any advice for situations newer players don't know about would be great!! Any help that wont scare me would be amazing!!! Thanks in advance! :3Game won't start
Hello, I have been playing The Sims for six years on this same laptop. I haven't had any issues besides old/broken mods so far and I have been able to fix them myself very easily. The laptop is Acer Nitro Geforce something, and it was one of the best of the year when I bought it. Runs smooth and great with full graphics, so I don't think that's the problem (or who knows?). It's still in great condition, except that it is a bit noisy, lol. So the game won't start. It started acting funny this week, i.e. a few days ago. Loading times went through the roof, the game started to work slowly, lagging, etc. Then it started crashing on random intervals. I deleted the mods I had downloaded recently and eventually quite a lod of mods. Tried old save files. Read the crash reports which were mostly incomprehensible. Cleaned caches, repaired the installation, etc. etc. Finally I thought the game worked and played a resurrected save file for two hours, no problems except huge loading times. Then the game totally freezed suddenly, and I couldn't do anything. I had to close the program with ctrl+alt+delete. After that the game hasn't even begun loading. Not in the EA app or by clicking the TS4.exe file. It tries to start, the screen blinks etc. but then it goes back to the EA app. Also, my desktop is acting weird. I can draw random black squares on it by clicking my mouse. I don't know if this is related to the game or if I've just missed this feature over the last few months? I use Avast, I already checked that the game files are among the exceptions, also from Windows Defender. I checked that all the .exe files are correctly connected from all folders and the desktop and EA app, since I know there are several options. Of course I could've missed something. I have checked that I have the latest Intel, Nvidia drivers, everything. I made a game refresh and started the game from scratch by making a backup of my old Sims folder and downloading the game and add-ons all over again. IT STILL WON'T LOAD. I don't know what to do anymore. Now it at least sometimes pops up a notice saying that "could not start, alustusvirhe during launch" (sorry I don't know a proper translation for that Finnish term, I play the game in Finnish). Format error or something? Do I really need to try to fix my hard drive or what? Please help :(corrupted file

Stuck on Loading Screen
I have been having this issue for two days now. My game will load up to the resume game part but then it will not load onto the actual game it just gets stuck. I have cleared cache, unistalled and reinstalled, cleared out my mods folder and still nothing. previous to this happening it would get stuck on the saving screen. i dont know whats going on but I NEED HELP ASAP
Game not downloading
I recently started to play the sims 4 again and when I tried to play everything was disoriented and wack on screen and it might be because I haven't played in about a year or so my mods might need to be updated. I followed the advice to solve the problem which was to uninstall the sims 4 and reinstall it after clearing my cache if it didn't help fix the problem so I did. Another thing to know is that I ran out of space on my computer C drive or local drive and got an external 2 tb hard drive to put my game on. I keep trying to download it on my new hard drive, but it just isn't working. Please help I love to create sims and i really want to create sims now that school is out.
laptop recommendations
hi everyone! i’m looking for some advice as i am thinking of purchasing a laptop strictly for gaming purposes (mainly sims 4 but maybe also some roblox + minecraft). i am not at a point in life just yet where i can invest in a desktop pc set up or a crazy expensive gaming laptop. the most i am probably comfortable spending is about £680 and even then i am wary as i do not want to waste my money on anything that may run into problems. i have a few options currently but am open to other reccomendations and also would like to hear if there would be any issues with my picks so far. (i am in the uk btw) thanks for the help!
