Enchanted by Nature - unable to play at all
Hi All, needing some further advice please. Absolutely stumped as I've read just about every post I can find to tell me what to do so I can play again. Since the new game I haven't been able to play or even open any Sims 4 games and I even bought a second EBN on the EA App as I thought maybe I'd stuffed the original download somehow? So far I have - Completed several repairs via the manage function on the app and five full uninstall and reinstall of the Sims 4. I have tried running it as an administrator, cleared caches on the EA app too. I've updated my drivers for my NVidia. I even tried that directx11 text where I added it to the game and tried to launch again. Still getting the failure to launch on our end text. I'm eager to learn how to fix this as I am at a loss as to what could possibly be wrong. So, I beg all of you superpowered technical savvy folks for guidance.
Sims 4 wont launch after update
I have had the same issues playing Sims 4 as other players ie cant drag trash to sink or bin, sims returning from school and work early if i travel from home lot or back to home lot, issues with queue and speed etc. After a few days of playing with the issues the game will no longer load. I use the ea app, i press play it says it is launching and does the normal launch process however the game does not launch and the play button goes back to blue and the last played will change to when i tried to launch. I have tried clearing cache, removing mods and cc, repairing sims with mods in folder, repairing without mods in folder, deleting ea app and redownloading it etc. I contacted ea but they have not gave any options that worked. On reddit i found other people experiencing the same issue and do not have a fix either so i know the issue is not my laptop. Does anyone know how to fix this?
sims initialization error at startup since july 2025
i've been having this issue ever since there has been a new Sims update, however in the past my game would automatically fix itself once I installed a Windows update (I am on windows 10). I have already tried reinstalling and uninstalling the game, I have also repaired the game multiple times, I also disabled my windows firewall and still get the same error. My Mods folder has been taken out during all of these trials. I have also tried getting the game to create a new The Sims 4 folder. I would drag The Sims 4 folder onto my desktop, repair the game, and a new folder would not be created. And when i try to launch the game without the folder in documents, i would get the "sims is already running" error instead. I have also made a different windows account and i would also get the "sims is already running" error on that new windows account. I feel like i have tried almost all solutions without completely resetting my entire PC, which I would not like to do since I would have to manually uninstall and reinstall all of my Sims 3 CDs (I have the entire collection), and purchase a huge external hard drive to keep all of my personal files. this is very upsetting when i would like to participate in the nature's calling event before it ends.
Opened game to find half of my data gone
I opened my game through the EA app today and half of my game play is gone. Entire households have been wiped and the last save data is showing from 2023. I played last night and saved my game multiple times because I was building a massive lot. When I started the game up, the screen appeared to be glitching and then I got a notification that the game was downloading from my One Drive. Thought it was weird, since I hadn't logged into my One Drive in a very long time, but didn't know what was happening until I got to the main screen and an old HH appeared. When I went into the game all of my packs that I had bought had been removed and were trying to redownload. Any ideas on what I can do to get my households and game back to the way it was last night?Buying packs on Steam and EA
Hello. I accidentally bought packs on steam and EA. Now my packs, such as - horse ranch expansion pack, the cat and dog pack, cottage pack, and kitchen clutter do not work on either one now. Could you please help me with this? I have tried to see if I need to redownload them, but it says they are already installed. Also, the packs I bought on steam, could you transfer them to my EA account please? Or is there a way I can access all of my add-Ons through my EA account? Thank you for your time.
