Gallery Is Stuck Loading and the UI Is Broken
Every time I open the Gallery in The Sims 4, it doesn't load correctly. The text is all over the place, the filter options are overlapping each other, and the Gallery stays on the loading screen forever. I never see any creations because it just keeps spinning. I've already tried repairing the game, removing all of my mods and custom content, deleting the localthumbcache.package file, clearing the EA App cache, restarting my computer, and checking my internet connection. None of those fixed the problem. This happens every time I open the Gallery, so I'm unable to use it at all. I would appreciate any help with fixing this problem.

Game Stuck on previous saved date
My game is consistently going back to an old in game date from when I saved it last. I started the game up to play in which it showed Saturday (in game). After playing through, I saved my game on a Tues (in game) and when I return to play my game the next day my sims are back on that same Saturday I started on. All progress is gone as if I never played it from my last saved game. I then checked to see if it happens just in game and it does. If I go from one playable sims household to another it reverts back to that same Saturday (in game). Anyone know what would cause this?

!! ALERT!! Malicious Script Mods and Other Malware
CURRENT INCIDENT: beginning May 2026 An 18+/NSFW mod host is a particular target of people spreading malware. Be sure to have ModGuard installed. Do not download 18+/NSFW mods from new creators. Do not download any newly posted mods about SimRay body modification or feet remastering from any site. Check that animation mods don't have ts4script files included. See below for past incidents. See also the section in How to Use Mods and CC about "Safe Simming" for advice on how to avoid downloading compromised files. Download TwistedMexi's Modguard mod (from his website or Curseforge) to help protect you from the malware-infested ts4script file you thought was okay, even after you were being cautious. MODGUARD CONFLICTS Do NOT use mods or tools that are blocked by TwistedMexi's Modguard or that conflict with it, even if they have no malware on examination. Removing Modguard so that you can use a mod means leaving yourself open to malware-infested ts4script mod. Don't do that. I am no longer listing these separately. They are INCREASINGLY COMMON as of late 2026. ***************************************************************************************** January 2024 Incident Beginning as early as mid-January 2024, we began seeing Sims 4 script mods with malicious executable .exe code hidden in them. The mods masqueraded as being from existing creators or from a brand-new creator with a name similar to an existing one. In one known case, it appears that a creator’s account was hacked to update the creator’s own mod page. These mods also presented themselves as being previously existing mods. (Mac users: Because this is .exe code, it won’t affect you, but may produce LEs.) Mods known to have been compromised "PimpMySims4" (impersonated) – Cult Mod – was on Mod the Sims; now removed MySims4 – "Social Events - Unlimited Time" – was on Curseforge; now removed MSQSims (hacked) – on The Sims Resource, Feb. 5-8; all removed Mood Cheat Menu Motherlode Menu Seasons Cheat Menu Weather Forecast Cheat Menu PlayersWonderland (hacked) – Mouth Preset N16 ts4script file – on The Sims Resource, now removed V1 of an adult mod, with a January file date – on LoversLab How to check your system for the January 2024 malware To see if your system has been affected by the malicious code: select Windows-R In the window that opens, type this: %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UserData In the folder that opens, look for files called Updater.exe and/or Main.exe. If you are affected If you had one of these files, assume that any sensitive data on your PC may be compromised and take the steps below: Clear your system for this specific virus. (See below.) This must be done FIRST. If you have the Discord app or a cryptocurrency wallet app, uninstall them. This is important if not obvious: Starting these can trigger an attempt to reinstall this malware. Change your passwords. Add two-factor authentication where available. If you had saved credit card or similar information to a web browser, remove it and find out from your financial institution (or other relevant site) what action to take next. Reinstall Discord and cryptocurrency wallet apps from fresh downloads. Learn more about keeping your data secure in the future: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Services-General-Questions/Answers-HQ-Online-Security-Newsletter-January/m-p/13449052/thread-id/447422 To clear your system: Download this fix created by Maxis mod-host partner Curseforge: SimsVirusCleaner Double-click the SimsVirusCleaner.exe file in your Downloads folder tor run it. This is a good time to run a general virus/malware scan on your computer. More things to know Curseforge and The Sims Resource updated their file screening for this method of malware inclusion. Type of mods affected: The least likely mods to be affected were mods that are only .package files and mods uploaded by mod creators on Patreon or their own sites. Most Sims 4 mods are not script mods and aren’t doing anything requiring a ts4script file. Downloaded folders: Assume that any folder containing a collection of mods might include a compromised mod containing code that can steal your passwords, your banking info, and much more. Do NOT download and install these collections. If you have done so at any time since mid-January, check your system. New prevention/detection Sims 4 tool: TwistedMexi released a tool called ModGuard. April 2024 Incident [April 7, 2024] Malware via a mod that downloaded as only a text file with a link. Known cases: "S4 CAS Tools" on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from the late CmarNYC, dated 18 March 2023) “Loading Screen Randomizer” on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from Tesuto , dated 9 January 2024) Do NOT follow the links in text files. Do NOT download other files or follow links from this user. No legitimate mod download will EVER consist of only a text file (a file ending in .txt). If you downloaded either of these, delete them and run a virus scan. NOTE: This type malware does NOT require that you run the game for it to install itself, and is not what ModGuard is designed to detect and stop. November 2024 Incident On November 5, 2024, on Mod the Sims, someone uploaded malicious versions of at least four mods. Unlike the earlier incident, no new accounts were involved, and one of the accounts breached was TwistedMexi's. No other compromised mods were found. It is not yet known what the effect of any malware included or called up was, so assume it's very bad. What to do If you downloaded any mods with .ts4script files from Mod the Sims on November 5, delete the mod and run a virus scan. If you don't already have it, download TwistedMexi's tool ModGuard. It will not protect against all possible script-file exploits, but it will help. Note that your other system protections cannot see what's in a .ts4script file. April 13, 2025 incident Some SimFileShare CC compromised Do not download mods from SimAndy or TheNinthWaveSim or Pixelunivairse mods/CC from SimFileShare. The accounts are compromised. Files present include an executable (.exe) file presumed to be malicious. If you downloaded files from these creators after about April 11, delete them and run a virus scan The owner of SFS has removed all known compromised files, and SFS is permitting file uploads again. Please remain cautious about what you download, especially files that were updated in early April 2025. March 2026 incident Multiple Mod the Sims accounts compromised. Ts4script files uploaded, including to mods/CC that should not have one. Files contents clearly malicious. If you downloaded any ts4script files from Mod the Sims beginning March 1, 2026, delete immediately and run a full-system malware and virus check. All compromised files have been removed. An 18+ mod-hosting website is also compromised. If you have recently downloaded an 18+ mod from an 18+ website and you don't use ModGuard, check if you've been infected with malware: Look in your Sims 4 install location for a file called "out.exe" (or "out" if extensions are hidden). Do not run the file. Do this: Delete the file Delete recently downloaded 18+ mods Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently delete them Run a full virus and malware scan Change your passwords April 2026 info post A creator named UNYOOZD claimed that they replaced their CC download files with ones containing malware. Their Patreon was deleted a few days later. There is no evidence of malware having been available from links or downloads. Their TSR downloads are just standard .package files and not malware. If you do have any .zip, .rar., .exe., or .ts4script files from this creator, you could delete those. I recommend, however, not spreading word that there was actual malware from them, as there’s no evidence of this May-June 2026 Do NOT download or install these mods: Simray Body Modifications Enhanced creator names include user_96gl6723xjhsfv9z, SimPeet, and others sites include Curseforge (in May; removed soon afterward), Nexus, an 18+ website Feet Remaster Mod known source: creator SIVERSPHINXX on Nexus mods by: noyslla JDMRendon MyDearMods cankuş animation mods with script files If you have installed them: delete immediately run virus/malware scans on your computer change your passwords The effect of the executables in these mods is not tested. Please presume the worst. Please note that many of these are coming from an 18+ mod site. This means they are NOT named here in more detail. Please think about the kind of sites people who want to install malware on your computer might be inclined to target. Current Impact of Incidents on Mod Update News Updates of mods/CC hosted only on Mod the Sims may be delayed.

Required game data is missing or damaged
Whenever I try to open TS4 on EA with mods, it always gives me this pop-up. I reinstalled the game, it worked, then I re-added the mods and same situation again. I also got multiple different conflict detectors and not one found a broken/outdated mod file. I also can't add TS4 onto my desktop as the file is on an external drive due to insufficient storage and I did initially have TS4 on a OneDrive but I removed its syncing. I know the most practical decision here would be the 50/50 method but it'd be incredibly tedious because I have like 2,500 folders in my Mods and that's just for CC/Mod creators so I'd really want it to be my last resort alongside starting from scratch. Any help would be appreciated.

CAS and BB custom thumbnails not showing
Hello! I'm experiencing an issue with custom content (CC) thumbnails in The Sims 4. As the title suggests, custom thumbnails for CAS (Create a Sim) and Build/Buy (BB) items are not displaying correctly in-game. Instead of showing their custom thumbnails, the game only displays the default item images. Interestingly, custom thumbnails for floors and walls are working perfectly fine. The issue seems to affect only CAS and BB custom content. I've already tried several troubleshooting methods, including: Reinstalling my mods and custom content. Deleting the game's cache files. Clearing the EA App cache. Restarting my PC. Unfortunately, none of these solutions have resolved the issue, and it still persists. I also tried contacting EA Support, but I haven't received a response. Could you please investigate this issue and let me know whether there's a way to fix it? If this is a game-related bug, I'd appreciate it if the development team could look into it. Thank you for your time and assistance!

64 - bit version
The sims 3 is still one of the most beloved games in the franchise, but the 32-bit limitation makes it extremely difficult to run large saves and lots of custom content. EA already created 64-bit version for Mac, so why can't windows players have the same treatment??? Please gives the sims 3 a 64 - bit version for windows!!
