Black bar glitching
Okay, I was told to make a report here I think im really confused, but every time I open my game, I get a black bar glitching at the bottom of the screen. I would like help and possibly something I haven't tried already. I repaired the game, renamed the sims 4 folder, made a new one, cleared the Ea cache, and reinstalled everything any help would be great.how do i get ALL my packs to transfer over?
back story, i got a new laptop, because the other laptop i was using was my oms and i decided to get my own and i finally did. When i got it i downloaded steam and the EA app, and when i try to play the sims i can either only play with the DLC/packs i bought from EA or the ones i bought from steam and it keeps adding 2 of the sims 4 games to my home screen. How do i make it so i can have all my DLC/packs linked to one sims desktop shortcut/app? Why are my steam and EA accounts not "communicating" with each other to have all of my DLC?My game doesnt launch
I recently made some modifications to my game files because of another issue that is not relevant now. and during that process i accidently deleted my sims 4 game folder /Documents>Electronic Arts> Sims 4. (the delete button and rename button are right next to each other) i opened the game again and it created a new file for me, i then played for about 2 hours with no issues and logged off. i just came back and my game isn't launching I've tried from the ea app, steam and the shortcut i have on my desktop but no of them worked. I've read a couple different forum posts about the same topic and tried a couple different methods they provided such as clearing the origin cache and repairing my game( i couldn't find the repair on the ea app) and those didn't work either. i dont really know what else to do and i am missing the game dearly ;( i have provided the DxDiag below. Thanks.
Game not making it to menu
I've been having this issue for months. A patch was released a bit ago, and it completely blocked me from being able to play the game at all. I cleared my mods, did a backup, deleted my old files. Nothing. Ill open the game, the title will start playing, and then it freezes. I've done resets, I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the game, and EA App. I went through my graphics settings, I tried so many different things, and nothing has helped. The linked image is the farthest i've been able to get before it full crashes and takes me back to steam.
Can't find Mods folder
I am on PC, Windows 11. From everything I've seen online, the game should auto-generate a Mods folder when you enable mods and then start the game again. I have done this, but still no Mods folder. I have also noticed a discrepancy between what I was told online and what is actually on my computer. When I go to Program Files and look in the Electronic Arts folder, the only files there are for the EA Games desktop launcher; instead, the Sims 4 folder is in the EA Games folder. Does it matter that I'm playing The Sims 4 from the EA Games launcher? I can't imagine the game would give you the option to mod it if you couldn't actually do so.
Game won't load
I try to play Sims 4 and when I try to load the game a text box pops up saying "repairs needed". I have tried repairing the game, uninstalling and re-installing the game, uninstalling and re-installing the EA App, removing all CC and mods, restarting my computer, I even tried checking for corrupted game saves but nothing is working. This all started after updating the game. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Half of the Packs aren't appearing when I load into a game
For some reason, after downloading the Sims 4 onto a new computer, it will only download a handful of the packs that I own, but say that all of them are downloaded. I have uninstalled and even completely deleted the EA app from the computer, cleared the cache, moved the game to the different drive, and at this point I am at my wits end. I own nearly everything EA has released for the sims up until the last two kits and I have yet to reorder the newest expansion pack. That is all I am missing from my collection. But for some reason, no matter what I do, even going so far as considering an entire PC reset, nothing works to fix this issue. Why is only a handful of what I own working? Why isn't the game running correctly? Any answers would be better than none.
Invalid Game License - The Sims 4
Hello I am experiencing the "Invalid License" error when trying to launch The Sims 4. I've tried several solutions, but the issue persists. Here are the steps I've already taken: Updated Microsoft Visual C++. Updated my system drivers. Uninstalled and reinstalled both The Sims 4 and the EA App. Performed a clean boot on Windows. Ran the EA App as an administrator. Checked the Electronic Arts > EA Services folder, but it is empty. Despite these efforts, the error still occurs. I'd appreciate any advice or additional solutions to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!
