Can’t get past loading screen
I click resume game but my game never loads. Earlier today it crashed and I couldn’t get back in after that. I removed my mods and the game still didn’t load after clicking resume game. It’s just stuck on the loading screen. I repaired my game and restarted. Idk what else to do. I can’t get past the loading screen to play at all. I even replaced outdated mods and deleted broken ones. I got rid of the localthumb file but nothing is working. It doesn’t show with any warning of corrupted files. It just doesn’t load.
Poll: How Do You Play The Sims 4 (Packs v Mods v Base Game)
Hey everybody, i was wondering as a newer player what most people's preferred playstyle is. Do you play with: Pure Base Game (No mods, no cc, no packs) Packs Only (Base Game + Packs, no mods or cc) Packs + Mods Base Game + Mods (Personally I play with Get to Work and Mods/CC) (Post your choice in the comments)
Sims cannot sleep during a slumber party
I recently had a slumber party for the first time after getting Growing Together on release. I was able to successfully complete all of the slumber party tasks with the exception of “get some sleep”. There was no option on either the sleeping bag or the bed to “sleep”. “Nap” was the only option and this did not complete the event requirement. The slumber party actually disabled the “sleep” option for all sims in the household, not just the sim who was attending the party. I had to end the event and reload the lot (I did not save when going to Manage Worlds) to be able to send my sims to sleep at 5 AM. Additionally, it feels silly to me that children cannot organize slumber parties when it is an event required for the first level of one of the children’s aspirations with Growing Together. I had to form a club and start a club gathering to be able to have my child sims adult mother meet the children in order to organize the slumber party. This feels like entirely too many steps that could be easily solved if the child was able to organize a slumber party in their own.Up coming update
I seen the announcement for the upcoming update, but are we just going to ignore the fact that the gallery is unusable? I can’t even make a new save because I can place sims or builds. It’s really annoying seeing that I don’t “own” packs that I’ve paid for, it’s saying I don’t own packs that I’ve had for years. I own almost every pack but the gallery is saying that I don’t and it freezes when I click on a sim or build. Is there going to be a fix for this?? Or is it going to be ignored in this update along with all the gameplay issues the last update caused on both pc and console.Add CAS issues to all the new update problems (PS5) *update - acting career bug*
So, in addition to crash issues and other problems plaguing console since the new update, May 2026. CAS is broken, you can’t scroll through items if the sim already has something equipped in that category, unless the item is in the top section. So, “Show All” for each item category is useless. And, the only way I’ve found to be able to select new items, is to either know exactly which pack it came from and select to only show those items or pick an item in a different category - ex. if your sim is wearing a tank top, but you want to change color or pick a different one, you will have to equip a jacket or blouse then go back to the tank tops to be able to scroll. This is happening on everything - body features, accessories, and clothing. ***Adding Acting Career issue that may be caused by CAS issues*** When following an actor to their performance - Sims will go to hair and makeup, makeup/hair dresser will do the actions of completing look but, actor/actress sim’s appearance will not change.
Multiple Businesses on 1 Commercial Lot
It would be great to see small business lots become more flexible and community-focused. Instead of one large business occupying an entire commercial lot, lots could function more like real-life Main Streets, where multiple households with small businesses share the same property under one owner or landlord (similar to the For Rent system). Each storefront or unit could be rented individually, creating opportunities for more creativity, variety, and realistic town development. I know individuals from one household can each run a small business already, but it still doesn’t create the same feeling or realism as having multiple independently owned businesses operating within one shared commercial space. While only one business may be actively operated at a time, simply having multiple storefronts and businesses exist together on one lot would make neighborhoods feel far more alive, dynamic, and authentic to how real local shopping districts work.
✂️Hair Salon & Head Spa, New Barbershop✂️
I for one would like to have something from the past brought back and & Improved. For this I am suggesting The Hair Salon & Head Spa. My I idea leans heavily in the head Spa Trend but I think there is a lot of room to work with here by combining them. Perhaps with this we could get an improvement to return to hair customization like they had in Sims 3. Without further ado... Update Sims 4 hair style to incorporate sections of the hair Root, Shaft, Ends and make the color be CUSTOMIZABLE like they did in Sims 3. The Hair Salon has different rooms. The first is Reception & Spa is The Swan Changing in the Locker Room Next is the Consultation Room - They analyze the scalp here. Next comes the Hair Washing Stations Next Comes the Steam Machine & Haircuts if needed They also have color not just cut The After Picture Body Wrap & Vichy Shower A little something for the fellows I really wanted to have something a little more Male-centric to the mix as well.

Constant Updates
Is there some type of update schedule? So I can prepare to stay offline... It seems like there's pack every month and the updates break my game every time. Yes I back up save, but it's becoming so frustrating. Stopped playing for a few months, started back last week... BOOM another update. Even when I was offline. I hate playing now. Any schedule for updates or more packs that drops? It seem like every 3-4 weeks there's an update that doesn't really fix anything
