Mass bans for “Gameplay Enhancement” + HWID bans no update from EA for weeks
Over the past several weeks, a significant number of players have been banned for the same stated reason: “Gameplay Enhancement”, frequently accompanied by a HWID ban. What makes this situation particularly concerning is that many of the affected players appear to be fully legitimate. They report no use of cheats, no intentional third-party software, clean systems, and normal gameplay statistics. Despite this, bans are occurring in noticeable waves, all citing the same reason. This strongly suggests a potential false positive or an issue within the detection system. Issues with the Appeal Process The appeal process has further intensified concerns. In many cases, including my own, players have submitted more than 20 appeals, providing: Detailed explanations of their situation System and hardware information Evidence supporting legitimate gameplay Relevant account security context Despite this, every appeal receives the same automated response, for example: “All investigations regarding this matter have already been conducted. The imposed sanctions will not be removed from your account. We consider this matter closed and this as our final correspondence on this topic.” There is no indication that appeals are being reviewed manually. Responses do not reference the submitted information, nor do they provide clarification or transparency regarding the decision. Lack of Communication and Transparency Additionally, there has been no public communication from EA for weeks regarding this situation: No confirmation of whether this is a known issue or false-positive bug No explanation of what specifically triggers “Gameplay Enhancement” bans No statement on whether the detection system is being reviewed or adjusted When a large number of players are banned for the same reason, within the same time frame, and receive HWID bans, this warrants a public response. Continued silence and automated replies risk undermining trust in both the anti-cheat system and the support process. What the Community Is Asking For Players are not demanding immediate unbans. Instead, they are requesting transparency and communication: Is EA aware of potential false positives related to these bans? Is this issue currently under investigation? Will affected accounts receive a genuine manual review? At present, the community has received no clear information and remains uncertain about the situation
[LE] scheduling.py:654; TemporaryHiddenInventoryTransferLiability
Situation Description: ( this is about the second 'report' in LE) Some mushrooms in the Sim's inventory have lost their quality indicators. This LE generated when trying to place them on the floor in live mode. Stacked mushrooms cannot be grabbed or clicked. This is because mushrooms with the quality label removed are placed at the top of the stack. You can click on the stack quantity, and can expand the individual display. If so you can grab only mushrooms with quality indicators and remove them from the inventory. With multiselect turned on, mushrooms with lost quality indicators can be clicked, but they cannot be sold. However, if you go to the world management screen or save and quit and load game the game, the mushrooms without quality indicators will disappear. I don't know what triggered the quality label to disappear, and I can't intentionally generate this LE at the moment, so I posted an LE from a while ago.A bug
I got an error code during my gun run game and I didn’t think much of it so I just clicked “ok” and continued on with my game. When I got back to lobby I immediately noticed that all 15 of my apex packs were gone and I tried restarting my game multiple times now and I still don’t have them back and what makes it worse is I got most of those from the battle pass and I even had a legendary apex pack in there. All for it to just vanish as if it never existed. If someone can help fix this let me know
Railings missing on lots created before Patch 1.121.342
Any lot created before the February 3rd patch that had stairs with railings, no longer have them after updating. This includes all premade lots, gallery lots and lots in saves. Any lot created by a player or Maxis before the update no longer has railings. This is also retroactive in exisiting saves when a lot is loaded in the neighborhood. I would have expected any lot created before the patch to automatically have double railings applied. Mods/CC: Removed completely and tested without. When fixed I expect lots created prior to 1.121.342 (Feb 3) to have railings again. Steps to reproduce: Load any premade lot that is supposed to have railings on a staircase, or download any lot from the Gallery create before the patch that is supposed to have railings on a staircase. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title a bitTextures/objects missing at the edge of camera
The game and replay cameras seem to be hyper aggressive at face culling and/or slow at placing textures. There are always textures popping in and out near the edges of view, especially with drastic camera movements. Sometimes entire objects will disappear before they're out of view or sometimes while center shot.

[GRO] CAS Married Couples have First Woohoo milestone unlocked
On multiple save files I have noticed that engaged or married couples created in CAS have their "First Woohoo" milestone unlocked upon creation. I removed mods/CC for testing and received the same result. The same issue was reported a while back but it is archived so I am unable to reply. I will link that thread here: [GRO] CAS Married Couples have First Woohoo milestone unlocked | EA Forums - 11658262 Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit migrated bug report.
