[EBN] Sim won't bathe nor catch frogs in own pond (active Want)
I have installed the Enchanted by Nature Pack yesterday and played for a while with one sim in Sprucederry Grove. Newly made sim, newly made world. By now she has her Natural Living Skill maxed. Her lot if the Fern and Frond Wading Pool. She should be able to bathe in her pond and look for frogs there, but she simply refuses. I've tried completing her wants, but that helped literally only once. The weather is cold, but with her Natural Living Skill at 10 this shouldn't matter according to the game. She DOES bathe in the river/stream in Spruderry Grove, so I know the cold isn't the problem. She can get to the water of the pond on the lot without a problem. I have no CC nor mods installed as I first wanted to try out this pack without any outside additions.

I've had this bug happening a few times in different locations (home, Netherworld HeadQuarters and the most recent at the Spicy Festival) after planning some interactions for the sim. The last was with the Spice festival. I got this error message (with thanks to the Better Exceptions Mod by Twisted Mexi, the only mod installed in the game) Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'JoinSituationElement' object has no attribute 'situation_type') I closed the game last night after getting that error. And upon opening the game this morning again I got the error immediately, I assume because the Sim was still in the same situation. I've played this particular save always without mods because I specifically only made it for the events and I wanted to make sure nothing would influence the events in one way or another. The only mod that is installed is the Better Exceptions mod from Twisted Mexi. What I was trying to do: - Planned some interactions for my sim to talk to the stall vendors - What I expected would happen: just normal execution of the tasks - What happened: --> Without the mod: the game would start to lag and then hang and I couldn't even get the game to close. I had to force close it through the task manager by ending bu several times ending the task (the task would pop back up several times in the task manager before it remained ended) --> With the Better Exceptions mod: I got the BE Warning and the report. I closed the game after that without a hitch. but.... I can't play this particular save file anymore until the bug gets resolved because now it pops-up immediately when I resume the game and my Sim and the world are loaded. More information from the Better Exceptions report: Possible Cause (Confidence: 10%) interaction_elements I have added the saves files from last night's session and from this morning and the Better Exceptions report to the attached zip-file. I hope that helps in finding out what's wrong.

Sims 4 crashes within minutes after going into the game, have to complete restart my laptop same with mass effect legendary edition, my laptop is relatively new with only owning it for several months it’s Acer predator helios neo 16 rtx4070. tried every troubleshooting that I could possibly find with even doing a clean reinstall of my laptop and even downloading a roll back of nvidia drivers to see if it’s the driver but nothing helped as it happens with every game on every platform. Took the laptop in to get repaired but they just said oh it’s probably a software issue as so far they found nothing even though they noticed that I encounter gpu error crashing on games. do you think it’s software or hardware issue? It’s a new laptop and it’s becoming increasingly frustrating. please help.Unable to Start: The game Has run out of memory windows 11
Just installed Sims 4 for the first time today and I have a decent computer with enough RAM to load the game, it can run fortnite / gta and other demanding games comfortably but Sims 4 will not download. I've reinstalled it, updated drivers, reinstalled on other platforms and it still loads this error everytime. I've attached my DxDiag for relevancy, can anyone help?
What the **bleep** is going on EA...
Last night I keep getting inconsistent "Error:0" messages rendering the game incapable of saving (but then sometimes it would work), "Unable to connect to server" to upload to my gallery (but sometimes it would work), and some other crazy-**bleep** message about EA checking for game updates in the background for new stuff. I repaired my game, removed all my mods, cleaned out every cache, and when I go to re-boot the home page is showing me some household I've never played and where the household income dollar amount should be, it showed a bunch "W"s criss-crossing and overlapping. My entire saved game was wiped and I can't recover the back-up files I have. I reached out for support via chat and Ricco tells me there's no issues that have been submitted by their studio team. Oh yeah? Then why are the forums and X blowing up with people having the exact same issues as me?! I repeat, WHAT THE **bleep** IS GOING ON EA?!?!! I've given you how much money over the last few years? You all should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves! I WANT A REFUND FOR EVERY GAME IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CONSISTENTLY WORKING PRODUCT!!!!!!!Can't Make New Save Files
For some inexplicable reason, my game won't let me start new save files. I open my game, click new game, create my sim, play for a while (saving multiple times throughout), then save and exit the game. But next time I start up Sims 4, my new save file is nowhere to be found. I can still play and save progress in old save files, but all the townies are dead, and I just want to start a new world. I am actually getting really frustrated. This is a game-breaking bug, and I'm so tired of playing for hours in a new world just for all my progress to be lost. I have tried repairing the game through the EA app, clearing my cache, restarting my computer, etc. but nothing has helped. The last time I was able to make a new save file was right before the "blast from the past" event, but I first noticed the bug after Businesses & Hobbies came out. No mods, playing on Mac through EA app PLEASE HELP
Sims is totally bugged
My characters do not follow through with actions, cancelling them as I try to initiate them. As well, when I open the Sims 4 application, it asks me to delete 700 items off my pc. As for the character tasks problem (The most prominent issue) my game isn't modded, only having paid 16 dollars to EA themselves for the weather add on. I tried resetSim <F/N> <L/N>, shift and clicking on the sim to reset them, I even turned automation off. I worked hard for this game and for this to happen is really making me upset.
