Controls Displayed on Screen
Just updated the sims 4 on my pc/laptop and now it’s displaying the controls on the left side. I have not messed with any settings at all, I even double checked to make sure I didn’t accidentally change anything and everything is still the same settings I’ve had. I tried repairing the game, removing mods/turning off mods and it still shows up. I googled to see if I maybe I did turn on some accessibility setting and nothing shows up for me to enable/disable in my own game settings. Just kind of bothered by it cause it quite literally is on my screen blocking my game. Oh and it disappears when I open the options menu and appears again when I resume my gameplay.

[PS/XB] Game preferences resetting
This just started happening after the latest patch. I'm on PS5. The opening music doesn't stop once you get to the main menu, or even if you go to CAS, and my game preferences like audio volume, SDX drops, and stick control directions keep resetting every time I open the game.

[XB/PS] Console crashing after update 2.13
I ran the update for Xbox today 6/18/25 and every time my sim leaves the lot and returns the games crashes - no mods as it is Xbox - has occurred about 5 times today every time is after my sim visits another lot and comes back to their lot about 3-5 minutes of playing with a different household member the game crashes. Also it keeps resetting my game settings turning back on tutorials and game play overlays and turning back on the music I have turned off in build mode and home screen have most packs except for For Rent, Lovestruck, Growing together, High School Years and Seasons[EBN] Ailments too frequent
I got the Enchanted by Nature pack yesterday, and have played 5 in game days, with my household of 3 sims, at least 1 sim gets an ailment everyday. I keep them happy. I went into pack settings and disabled the imbalance, all it did was instead of having 2 of my 3 sims with ailments each day, I now have 1 sim with the ailment each day. There are also a ton of townies with ailments. Saw a post on facebook where people were also reporting that the ailments frequency was far too high. I am on PC No Mods Have reloaded into the game several times and it does not help. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title. Update: TheSimsDirect has addressed this issue on X as well:
random nudity
My adult sims, never the teen or children, will suddenly go nude. They will walk around the house nude in front of the kids. They like to sunbathe nude, again in front of the kids. They also like to sleep nude and if the infant cries, will get up and tend the infant nude. I'm not a prude but this is too much. I'm not a nudist and would prefer to be able to choose if I wanted that as part of my gameplay. It's only appeared after the latest update.
Fairies still showing up when box is checked
Hello, I have checked the box under the Pack Settings to limit fairies to Innisgreen and fairies (in their fairy form) are still showing up at my front door. I've tried restarting the game several times and making sure the settings stay the same. It's breaking the 4th wall for my normal sims saves. 😅[JTB] Several Missions: NPCs don't board the Millennium Falcon/X-Wing
There is a huge problem with some missions in batuu. like to go do a cambriolage, my sims cannot go with the sims he recruted to leave. They just stand there beside the jet and the mission never gets done. In the jungle, theres some doors that never opens. Will there be an update on that soon ? Because i have seen a lot of other players having the same issues. I have no mods, just the extensions and whats legit.
