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. Edit By Crinrict: Added platform tag to title.[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:
[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[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.

[GF] Simology panel shows fame for 'out of fame' Sims
Sorry if there is the same report. (I can't get 'Show More') After 05/27/2025 Update, I noticed this. I started the game with flesh folder and set the each menu in game option. I checked in 'Sims Begin Opted Out of Fame'. But if I saw the simology panel when went in Live Mode, fame part was active. And fame active (in simology panel) when loading save file also. If the check off and check in again then click 'Apply Changes' in Live Mode, fame is disabled in panel. I let my Sim to sell a few paints, but Sim didn't get fame. So this seems the issue of the display in simology panel. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
