Where Are Your Sims When You Load Your Game?
Normally when I am dong playing I do it when all my sims are in bed and I save and exit game. I feel sure that when I returned to the game that they were still in bed or at the very least doing stuff around their house. I have never really paid much attention because it wasn't really a big deal. For about a month or so now I have noticed that when I load up my games, my sims may not even be home. A household I have with two brothers and they are almost always gone somewhere and most usually they can be found at The Starlight Lounge in San Myshuno. With that said, when I am playing other households and take them to The Starlight Lounge, my brothers are there like 90% or the time or more. Like they are part of those townies that hang out there or something. A child I have in another household who lives in Windenburg is often gone and when I look where he is I find he is in Ravenwood. I don't think I have been able to see exactly where, but his mother lives there with her husband so I assume he is at their house. These households are in the same save and it happens in other households too but these I noticed more so because I play them more and it happens a lot. I know this hasn't always been going on because I 100% would have noticed it like I am now. I have no idea is this something that was slipped in on me, part of the after patch madness problems I am experiencing or what. I would appreciate it if some of you can let me know your experience in this. I really would have noticed my sim child being gone other than to school or afterschool activities so this cannot just be my imagination.SolvedAchievements Constantly Repopping For No Reason
First off I want to say that I am unsure whether achievements are per household or per save. I would hope they were per EA account since saves can be corrupted and lost. Anyhow, I am playing on PC with fresh game installation, no mods or cc. Achievements that have already been earned in other households keep popping up in groups for achievements that were already earned and also at inappropriate times when the achievement has nothing to do with what my sims are doing. It seems random when they will pop up but it is consistent across the households in this save. It also happens in new saves in which I only have one household. As you can see my sims are all in bed when the All Nighter achievement popped. This was already earned in another household in same save. "What Would It Be Like" achievement already earned in a different household and this is the second time it has popped up for this current household. My sims were chatting in their bathroom when Host With the Most popped up. They have not held any social events at all. Introvert Achievement popped and I had my sim out introducing her to other sims for the Friend of the World aspiration. Rosebud Achievement had popped earlier when I was in another house hold that started their household with 3 million simoleons and that was not a new household. Then it pops again while I was playing this current household who, as you can see, only have 27K simoleons. "Just Getting Started" achievement popped up and I have way more than 5 hours in the current household and probably at least 1000 hours in the game save.Strange Happenings
There are so many strange things going on in my game it is unreal. No mods or cc so that isn't an issue. Too many things to list right now but I had to post this one as it is more bizarre than the rest. So my sim works in the reaper career and she has just got back from an assignment and was finishing up office tasks. I get a call from, Manual I think his name is, and he says my sim and him were friends before she became famous and that we should hang out or whatever. I didn't think anything about it and proceed finishing up office tasks and this is what I found..... These sims are making me nuts!Is there any new info on the Save Data bug?
June 12. 2025. I'm too afraid to play the Sims 4 because Ive been playing the same file since its release. Does anyone know if the save data bug is being investigated/ worked on? Will playing on another file only corrupt that one or will it corrupt them all??? I really want to buy the Enchanted by Nature expansion but I wont play right now thinking I could lose years of work. I was going to start a copy file of my current save so I can keep playing that one until the bug is fixed but I'm worried that it will corrupt them all anyways.my sim goes to the hospital without me to give birth
hi! I’ve been playing the sims for years now, and I remember I used to get the popup that would ask if I wanted to go with my sim to the hospital when they give birth, now when I select to have the baby at hospital, i don’t get asked? it’s a super simple but cool game feature that I can’t seem to figure out anymore. can anyone help? i play pc btw!Is this a bug or a feature
I've been playing the Sims games since the very first. So I'm not a stranger to the game or its features. I have The Sims 4 and a lot of the Expansions and add-ons, one of which is "For Rent". After I'd bought the Expansion "For Rent" I wasn't able to play for a good long time after.. however.. I recently bought a bunch of Expansions as now I have time to play and build and have some fun. Now, since I'm considered a returning player, I don't know "everything" about what has been added, what's been taken away, and what has remained persistent. So.. like anyone else.. I ask. However.. with the new age of "mostly helpful" AI, I asked Gemini to help me with information from time to time.. a lot. While a good portion of the information and websites it points me to, there is one issue that I have run into that I can't figure out, and Gemini AI seems to be.. a little.. lets say misinformed. Supposedly there is a feature within "For Rent" That allows the player to hire a "Property Manager". Gemini AI is adamant about this, while I can't seem to locate the information. I've given screenshots to the AI to help guide me along trying to find this feature and as a result, I can't find where this property manager button or Tab might be. Supposedly, the player is able to hire a property manager and have them deal with issues that arise and is notified by the property manager. I on the other hand think that Gemini AI is misinterpreting what it thinks it knows. Usually its good about admitting when its wrong and I have provided info to the contrary. Good AI is like that.. unlike humans.. AI will admit when they are wrong or have incorrect or outdated information or just a general misunderstanding of something. So here I am asking the Forum if there is indeed a feature that allows the player to hire a property manager to deal with issues that arise pertaining to the rental property like Plumbing issues, electrical issues, garbage issues.. you name the issue, its supposed to deal with it for you. And yes I know that you can call a contractor to deal with those issues.. either a Cheap contractor or an Expensive Contractor.. usually the expensive one works way better than the cheap one. I on the other hand don't think this would be a feature. This would take away from the player doing something pertaining to the property. On the other hand, having to clean up after a toilet explodes takes a while, but there are "tasks" that lead to cleaning up 5 or 6 puddles because of the plumbing issue.. but you can call the contractor, after you leave the property, and they take care of it. There is a small bug that gives you the tasks, but one of them is clean up the garbage but there isn't any garbage to clean up.. so there's that. When looking up the information I get.. "...As of July 2024, the property manager feature is still available in The Sims 4 For Rent expansion pack. The feature allows property owner Sims to act as property managers, live among their tenants, or live in a separate residence while earning income from their properties...." Nothing that points to the ability of hiring a property manager. So with all of this.. Is there a feature that allows a player to hire a property manager? I mean if there is.. I can not find it. If there isn't, I'll just take it as the Gemini AI is chasing its tail by saying there is a bug preventing me from seeing the button for property manager.. then again.. this feature could have been removed and it doesn't realize or know it. Can anyone give some feedback?SolvedSkills Increasing Unreasonably Fast
My teenager (17 days before young adult) has an art skill of 6? He's literally only just started 2-4 sims days ago? How? That's not normal skill building and same with his 2 other siblings in other skills they've been working on. Sims is already "too easy" but this is unreasonably too easy and should have normally taken 3x+ the time. Help!Moving a Save-Console PS5
I am wondering if any console players or anyone in general know what happens if I move a save to a new one. It’s my legacy save and I want to move it so i can earn trophies because used to use cheats. Will the relationships and sims who have passed in the family be there as well?
