Dining out Broken
Hello I wondered if anyone has any suggestions to how I might fix dining out, It's totally broken for me, when I visit there is no NPC to host or cook or sever, also if I buy a retail I can hire staff but when I click open noting happens, I have reported this as a bug but nothing is being said I think it's gone cold no one else seems to be having this issue. I am on xbox next gen so I have no mods nor can I use any. I own all pack apart from adventure and fairy pack and a few kits. I have uninstalled and re uninstalled but nothing seems to work if anyone has a any ideas what I could do I would appreciate it because I miss dining out so much it's a big part of my game play.
Sims won't buy from display cases (business & hobbies)
Sims will only buy items marked as "for sale" sitting on a surface (table, counter etc). My sim "can" use their selling wiles and occasionally get them to buy from the display cases and stands...but otherwise the customers completely ignore them. I am trying to use the display cases that came with business & hobbies and have my sim run a bakery/cafe.
Cant open my game
After the new update i could open my game the same day and collect some of the things from the event but after i closed the game and the day after tried to open it, it wont open. I can click play and it opens but then it shut down and put me back to my deskscreen, when i try to press the sims 4 icon to open it opens only to shut down again. Others there have this problem??
Infant and small children play very buggy
The interactions with infants and small children are very buggy. There is no one single thing that appears all the time, but multiple that don't work almost all the time. Just to give few examples: I see the kid will be hungry. I select a parent to feed them. The kid starts crying. Their action and other parent action is cancelled and replaced with "check what's going on with the kid" but neither feeds them... I want to put a kid into the crib, or a small kid to bed (regular or reading book). very often the interaction just gets cancelled for no reason. There is no obstacle/incorrectly placed object with bb.moveobjects. it just cancels multiple times. I need to pick the option to put them to bed multiple times before it actually happens. effectively spending 1 or 2 sims hours before being successful. similar issues with feeding a baby. either with bottle or in the high chair if small kid. the operation cancels multiple times (before they sit, then after they sit and should be given the mail). Again, instead of casual game play you are forced for 1 or 2 sim hours to stick and repeat the simple activity so that it is successful. overzealous parents - when the infant starts to cry, all of them throw themselves to the child. but the game doesn't recognise that the baby has been taken care of by another parent and the second one still forces their action. Especially annoying if the activity was to put the kid to bed(after 1 hour with the bug mentioned above) and then the other one immediately takes them out of the cradle and is not able to put them back in. and there we go, another hour lost. less often but also happens occasionaly when diaper needs changing just a quick mention about not recognising life steps as there are separate threads about it action to wash kid in the bathub also cancels itself at least two or three times before successful. Basically sims keep cancelling the activity related to basic needs of infant or child care is frustrating and repeating. There is no queued activity by me for the child (and certainly not for the infant :) ) that can block the actions. One simple action like bathing or feeding cannot be queued so yo can play as another sim. You have 99% that is not going to happen if you do this. You need to focus on this particular action and play sometimes several sims hours just repeating same steps till they are finally successful. I like playing as a family but this successfuly discourages me from having more than one baby and any legacy challenge.Occult are broken?
I am doing the occult baby challenge and every single one has not been and occult. Not only this but after switching them via the menu, vampire sims seem to still show signs of being human as they get cold outside. Before I was under the impression that most occults weren't affected by weather. Another issue I found was after trying to get the sim bitten and turned into a vampire nothing would happen after the final moodlet so now my sim has a forever moodlet of "appetite lost" that flashes..
What is wrong with this household?
For context: In Fall '23, I created a household consisting of two female Sims. They were married from the start, and both have the loyal trait. They are both family-oriented. This was the second household I added to this save, a couple of months before Lovestruck was released. However, from the very beginning, both had this inclination to flirt with other Sims - which I didn't let them do. One of them accidentally complimented another Sim on their clothes, but that was just the one time, and I have avoided similar actions ever since. Whenever these two interacted, both had the dialogue option "confess betrayal" even though nothing had happened. I tried to ignore this, though it really started to annoy me after a while. I have autonomy on, and at some point, I disabled neighbourhood stories for all my played households. I can't remember the exact date, though, but it's been a while. When Lovestruck came out, things got even more annoying with this household because whenever I didn't play with them, they showed up somewhere in the world stargazing with someone else. One of them even took off to stargaze with someone else while I was playing with them. I disabled attraction so they wouldn't be attracted to other Sims but only to each other. Romance bars are full. I disabled the option to have Sims from my gallery show up on the dating app because at one point, the game duplicated one of them and put her clone on Sulani while the other one showed up on the dating app. Fun fact: the game did this only with these two. Nothing worked. By now, they are both getting options to hit on their best friends, ask random Sims to enter a woohoo partnership, flirt with pretty much everybody... and just now I found out that one of them got married to an NPC Sim somewhere along the way. I have absolutely no idea when, how or why this happened. I didn't even know it was possible for a Sim to have two spouses, and I have no idea who this NPC Sim even is because I don't pay attention to random townies. Something about this household is SO broken, and I can't figure out what it is. This is pretty much the only household that's behaving completely illogically, and not just when it comes to romance. Recently, I sent both of them to the Realm of Magic to discard their magical powers; they were not honing and using those anyway, so I figured they no longer need them. However, one of them can still use her broomstick for flying, even though her magical abilities are gone and the broomstick is no longer in her inventory. At this point, I am so annoyed with this household that I hardly ever play with them at all, yet I don't want to abandon them completely because they are part of the world and the storytelling I created over the past years (the save's turning 3 in a couple of months). If anybody has any idea where these problems might come from and how to solve them, I'd be really grateful. Especially for a solution to the stupid "oh no, I cheated even though I didn't do anything"-bit. Granted, the one who got married to a second Sim off-screen DID cheat, after all, but like I said, the fretting has been there right from the start for both her and her real wife. Since my save is growing and I keep adding households, these two will very likely end up sharing a Sim week with another household which will minimize the annoyance for me. Still, I'd really like to get to the bottom of this. Oh, and I don't use any mods or CC. I play plain vanilla, verify the files regularly and clear the EA app's cache.
Eggs problem
Hi. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but after my sim collects the eggs from the chicken coop, I send him to cook some food with the eggs but the 'eggs' part of the recipe is greyed out and it says that I don't have any eggs either in the fridge or my sim's inventory and I have to sell the eggs before they spoil. Funny thing is, the Golden and Obsidian eggs don't have this problem and I'm not sure if this is a bug. I would appreciate any help I can get on this.
Deck the Palms event rewards not able to be claimed
This event isn't letting me claim most of the rewards. It's even worse for another household member, they can only get the first 3. Windows 11 and fully updated games for both of us. Happens with no mods, no CC. Any help or advice please? It would be most appreciated before this event is already over and done..
Simology panel always glowing
In my Legacy save the Simology panel is always glowing. It is only in that single save. All others are normal and goes away when I have checked them. The issus with this save is that when I check the panel it goes away. But if I switch to another sim and then back again it is glowing again. I do play with mods but it happens even without mods. And as mentioned, only in this household. It is really making me question wether or not to continue with this legacy or not. I have tried clearing cache and repaired the game. I have the latest update (sep 18 2025) but it is still there. Any advice would be greatly appriciated!
