Game license not valid
Hello all, I am beyond flustered over here. When I ty to open The Sims 4, I am getting the game license not valid error message. I have NO mods/NO CC. Steps I have taken (in no particular order): cleared cache, moved the license file to the desktop, updated the EA app, repaired the game. Uninstalled the game and the app. turned off firewall/antivirus, "clean boot" my pc,. In addition, I also completely restored my pc to factory. Reinstalled app and game. I also logged into EA app on husband's pc and installed game with same error. The only thing that I have done that opened the game is to install in from Steam. the game will load, but only the base game. I have every single DLC for this game (except the newest expansion), so this is NOT a viable option. I have reached out to EA help via chat 2x's now with no resolution. They have marked the case status as "No Fix available". Has ANYONE been able to resolve this issue? I am willing to try just about anything at this point.Games not no longer start via Steam
Hi, I Purchased the game with some DLCs via Steam some time ago, and i am unable to start the game any more. The EA App seems to be the problem. How can i get ANY support ? ReInstalled the Games, Validated Steam Files, Cleared Cache, all this does not help at all. After Repairing it via Steam i got ...Unable to claim Nature’s Calling event rewards.
Ever since every recent update from more than 10 days ago, I have been unable to claim the next reward ( for me it is the swimwear) and be able to move on to the next task. This is a very frustrating bug and is preventing me from engaging and playing in the event, that has only a limited time span of nine more days. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible, and if an extension can be given on the event to make up for the missed time. Sincerely, a very disappointed player. 😣
sims 4 not loading
please help! last night (7/26/2025) i was playing the sims as usual and then i got out the game and went on with my life, just to come back an hour later for my EA app not to load the game. It attempts to, then goes back to the library page. I cannot play my game anymore?? I dont know what to do anymore!! I cleared cache, repaired the game, restarted my laptop multiple times, restarted EA app, and waited, hoping maybe it was a small bug I want to keep my save and sims for the most part too! i don't know how to do any of this tech stuff either I do use mods and cc but i dont think this was the problem because it worked just fine with the same downloads the hour beforeHats missing from premade several outfits
If I click on "Put on beekeeping suit" on the beehive, my Sim puts on the suit, but the hat is missing, and she still gets stung by bees even though she's "wearing the suit." There's also no longer a button for "unwrap," only "put on," even though she's wearing it. then I have to manually change the outfit. But the suit is no longer useful anyway.

Dear Battlefield Developers & EA Team, As loyal fans of the Battlefield franchise, we are calling for the implementation of native keyboard & mouse (KBM) support for PlayStation and Xbox consoles in Battlefield 6 and future titles. Why this matters: Player Choice: Many console players prefer the precision and comfort of KBM but want to enjoy the stability and accessibility of console gaming. Fair Cross-Play: Other major shooters like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Apex, provide KBM support, ensuring a more balanced cross platform experience. Accessibility: Not all players can afford or maintain a high end gaming PC, KBM support allows everyone to compete on equal footing. Community Growth: Giving console players the same input flexibility as PC gamers makes the franchise more inclusive and competitive. Our request: We respectfully ask the Battlefield development team to prioritize native KBM support on PlayStation and Xbox for the next Battlefield installment. This feature was long requested during Battlefield 2042 and is essential for the future of cross platform play. Why it matters for sales: Many players in this community (myself included) are on the fence about purchasing the next Battlefield if this feature isn’t included. For some of us, KBM support is a deciding factor when it comes to investing in the game. If you agree, please like, comment, and share this post so the developers see how important this is to the community. Let’s make Battlefield accessible for everyone and worth buying.
SIMS 4 Child Account
My daughter wants SIMS 4, however, her child account cannot find SIMS 4 in her EA APP even though I approved it through my account on the same computer. Additionally, she is going to want two add-ons, so I will also need to do that when the time comes. All the other forum responses say to use the "Game Advisors" but EA's new help system makes that quite literally impossible. It simply creates an endless loop of useless articles or allows me to submit an email ticket. In fact, I currently have 2 open email tickets... but both are waiting on my input and neither of which actually allow me to add input. So, according to the Cases page, they will be auto-closed due to inactivity also with no helpful output. So, hopefully the forum will be better.
Game won't load past title screen and crashes
Hi! For some reason, when I try to open my game, it loads up like normal up until the Sims 4 title screen. One it gets there, it completely freezes, stops responding, and just closes. I don't have any mods installed (that I know of, at least) so I'm confused on what's stopping it from working. I thought maybe it was just EA so i deleted and reinstalled both the sims and EA but it still didn't do anything.
'Keep Furniture' not working when moving
Eloped immediately while in one Sim's home. Opted to move into the other sims home once married. did not select to sell furnishings. Nothing happened. A tip said I can combine households in edit neighborhood. I presume that means edit worlds. had to select the home button on their profile for them to travel home to the other house. When there I checked the inventory and nothing was transferred. Fortunately she was rather poor and had sold all her paintings. He's a millionaire so will buy her what she wants. Glad we didn't move into her house. Playing on a Mac. Fully updated game. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ Archived thread had around 54 me toos
Missing World Assets in several worlds
Hey everyone, I've been having major issues with The Sims 4 after installing the For Rent expansion pack. My saves became corrupted, and I also noticed that assets in Brindleton Bay and Evergreen Harbor are missing. Even after completely deleting For Rent from my game and starting a brand-new save file, the missing assets in both worlds are still gone. This issue seems to be linked to For Rent because the expansion is corrupting save files—Sims won’t do actions, or they take forever to move. Even after removing For Rent, my legacy save is still buggy—Sims act strangely and barely perform any actions at all. I've already tried repairing the game via the EA app, but the problems persist. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any known fix to restore Brindleton Bay and Evergreen Harbor and get Sims working normally again? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
