Parenthood GP not showing up in game
After updating my game, I opened it and realized everything from parenthood was missing I thought “oh maybe it got uninstalled” because that has happened before, but when I went to manage game and add ons, it was checked as being installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but the content still isn’t showing up and it’s saying I need to “download to use” I think this has something to do with the update, but I really need my pack that I paid for to work. Please help!
My expansion packs, and digital downloads are not showing in my worlds list??
Hi, can anyone help me!! I have 11 Add on, and Discs too and I see them in my library and can not click on them, but some are digital and some are Discs. once in at the screen of my list of worlds they are not showing? I have reinstalled Origin.
Owning a Beauty Salon
I tried to post this a minute ago, idk if it when through…. So I’m reposting as a New Discussion just in case. I was surprised upon playing “Business and Hobbies” that the “All in One Salon Station” from the “Get Famous” pack didn’t get any love at all. In the spirit of “Open For Business”, I for sure thought some of the multi pack functionality included the Salon Station in order to recreate the Beauty Salon experience in the Sims 4. Paired with “Spa Day”, It would be nice to create the ultimate beauty spa. The Girlies get it 💅🏾. My hope with this post is to create enough discussion about it so that the Devs can reimplement this crucial Small Business Activity. As the daughter of a Barber and Small Business owner, this is a fair representation of a lot of actual Small business owners. This request comes especially after learning the limitations that the “Small Business and Hobbies” pack come with. It’s a better Pack for Sims whose entrepreneurship skills include acts of service. The Retail features are better represented in the “Get to Work” pack, because when it comes to restocking resell items it can become super tedious because you can’t restock items the same way you can in “Get to work” so even the Pottery Shop serves better as a full retail business rather than a small business. with all that being said, I really want the Sims Team to reconsider some of the Service Activities that can added to Small Business activities that were overlooked starting with and most importantly ALLOWING MY SIMS TO BE PROPER HAIRSTYLIST, BARBERS AND MUAs. With all the Love and Support, thank you everyone for reading and supporting this initiative.downloaded game and packs will not run to play
I recently downloaded the game and all expansion packs I own, every time I go to play it loads to a blank white screen. I have no mods, and plenty of storage. My wifi is weak in the area where computer is but I have the ext in the same room and running on either helps none.
Cross-Platform DLC Transfers for The Sims 4
Dear Reader, As a dedicated Sim player for over 18 years, I genuinely love and enjoy the game. While I've occasionally been frustrated by some updates (or the lack thereof), nothing has been more disheartening than the inability to transfer purchased packs across platforms. I currently play on PlayStation but have been considering switching to PC/Mac for greater convenience, especially when traveling. However, I was shocked to discover that the significant investment I've made in The Sims 4 content—over $1,400 across expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kits—would not carry over to a new platform. This limitation is both frustrating and discouraging for loyal players like myself. What is the point of having an EA account if it doesn't provide the flexibility to access purchased content across platforms? The idea of repurchasing the same DLC content for another $1,400 is unreasonable and alienating to devoted fans. Allowing cross-platform pack transfers would offer more advantages than drawbacks: Player Loyalty and Customer Appreciation: The Sims franchise thrives on its passionate and loyal player base. Allowing cross-platform pack transfers would show that EA values and appreciates its most dedicated players. Increasing Player Engagement: Players are more likely to engage with the game on multiple platforms when their content carries over. This flexibility enhances the player experience, encouraging greater long-term involvement in the game. Consistency with Industry Trends: Cross-platform play and transferable purchases are becoming industry standards. Major gaming companies such as Epic Games, Microsoft, and Ubisoft have embraced this model, making it easier for players to access their content across different devices. EA should follow suit to remain competitive and player-focused. Convenience for Players on the Go: Gaming isn't confined to a single device anymore. Many players, myself included, would love to play The Sims 4 while traveling or on road trips by simply hotspotting a laptop to a phone. Without cross-platform content, this becomes nearly impossible for console players. Protection Against Piracy: The current system inadvertently encourages players to seek unauthorized ways to access their paid content on other platforms. Offering a legitimate solution for transferring packs would reduce the incentive for piracy. Increased DLC Sales: Players who have the flexibility to use their packs across platforms are more likely to continue purchasing new content rather than feeling alienated by platform restrictions. Improved Customer Satisfaction: Happy customers are more likely to recommend the game and remain loyal to the franchise. Allowing pack transfers would address a significant pain point for many players, fostering a more positive relationship with the EA brand. I understand that some might argue I should simply remain on PlayStation, but it's not always practical. Being able to hotspot my laptop during travel and play like so many other players would be a game-changer for me. I appreciate the hard work the team puts into developing new content, and I'm more than willing to continue supporting The Sims series financially. However, I cannot justify paying twice for the same content. Loyal fans deserve a better solution. I sincerely hope EA will consider addressing this issue and providing a solution that benefits the entire player base. Thank you for your time and for listening to this long-time player's concerns. ~ Haley
Forever Free Packs for Everyone
Sims 4 is already a 10-year-old game with around like 90 packs. And new packs will continue to be released for many years. Inzoi, with $40 (1 ep price we have 16 of them), might be able to cover 70-80 of these 90 packs, and with the base game without DLCs, they'll likely complete the missing ones within 1-2 years. I think Sims should adjust some of the older packs to be permanently free to prevent losing in the competition and keep players engaged. For example, packs like Seasons, Cats and Dogs expansion pack, and in game packs Get to Work could be free. If they make 2-3 packs from each pack type free, it would be great for new players, and they can complete the rest without pirating. By the way, I have almost all of the Sims packs. For those who already have these packs, the upcoming kits could be available for free for a month, similar to the Desert Luxe kit they gave for free when Sims 4 became free.
Burnt food should make a comeback.
As the title says because previous games had burnt food we need to bring it back especially with the fire like when the fire is out the food is gone or you have to throw it away but in previous games the food was burnt some times Sims burnt the food without the fire and I liked the idea especially if the Sims are trying to learn how to cook burning the food will be high up with both cooking and baking skill also in previous games the burnt food was still edible yes the Sims couldn't stand but it was edible.
"Give Everyone a Taste of Seasons - Make It Free for a Limited Time!"
Hello EA Team, l am a player of The Sims 4 and my name is Ayla.I believe that some of The Sims 4 expansion packs offer content that enriches the core gaming experience. Specifically, the Seasons pack adds seasonal changes to the game, making the overall atmosphere more vibrant. I feel that these packs are essential for a comprehensive and enjoyable gaming experience. I think it would be great if these packs, especially the Seasons pack, could be made available for free for a limited time. This would allow players who do not own these packs to experience and enjoy the game more fully. Than you for considering my feedback.💗Add Shaolin Martial Arts & Monastery to The Sims 4!
Hi everyone! 😊 My name is Masha, and I’m a huge fan of The Sims 4. I’ve been playing for a long time and absolutely love how the game lets us express creativity and build unique stories. I’d love to share an idea that I think could add a beautiful cultural and gameplay layer to the game — something inspired by Shaolin traditions! 🥋 1. Shaolin Martial Arts (New Skill or Activity) What if we had a new form of movement-based activity in the game, inspired by Shaolin martial arts? Not just fighting — but graceful, meditative movements similar to yoga, but with a martial arts theme. This could work like yoga classes in the game — one Sim leads, others follow. It would look elegant, empowering, and calming all at once. Plus, it could help Sims build wellness, fitness, and maybe even a unique Shaolin skill. 🏯 2. Shaolin Monastery (New Lot or Hidden World) To make it even deeper — imagine a hidden lot or a new world with a Shaolin monastery! If a Sim reaches a high level in the Shaolin art, they could get a special invitation from the monks. There, they could: Go through unique training Learn exclusive skills Receive spiritual rewards or buffs Maybe even become a trainer or open a martial arts studio back home! This could also tie into business gameplay (like the “Own a Business” pack) or wellness-themed aspirations. It’s also a great chance to add more East Asian cultural content and beautiful world-building! I think these ideas could really enrich the game and give players more ways to develop their Sims’ personalities in a non-farming, non-city lifestyle kind of way. Would love to know what others think! 💬 And if the dev team ever sees this — thank you so much for all the creativity you bring to The Sims! 💚 — Masha
