Lots not Rendering
After new May's update, often when moving around worlds and joining Sim to work world, lots fail to load leaving Sims outside. Also, I have Newcrest fully built, and no lots are showing, some of these lots were self built or from downloaded from gallery. Tried quick fixes such as entering Build mode or deleting the cache folder and exiting /re-entering game. Nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance.11Views0likes1Commentskate. launches in exclusive fullscreen at wrong res before correcting itself
I tried reporting this many months back but my post was merged with someone else's unrelated thread about a somewhat similar issue, but not the same as what I'm experiencing. That other issue has since been fixed, this one has not. Almost every time I launch skate. it'll first try to launch in exclusive fullscreen mode at a small resolution for a few seconds, before then switching back to what I have set in-game (borderless windowed + 2560x1440). I deal with this bug 90% of the time when I launch the game, and I've been dealing with it since day one of the game's release. I'm not sure why sometimes it doesn't occur, I've found no rhyme or reason. Explanation of the bug and steps taken to reproduce it: Launch the game through Steam. The anti-cheat splash image appears. Once the anti-cheat finishes loading and disappears the game begins to open, except it shows as a black window in a small resolution for a few seconds. Then the game forcefully tries to switch to exclusive fullscreen at whatever tiny resolution it's using, shifting around my whole desktop and all other opened windows/programs. After about 2 seconds it switches back to the correct screen mode (like borderless) and resolution that I have selected in the game's settings. I recorded the bug so you can see what this looks like on my end, I had to record using my phone since OBS doesn't record it properly when the game switches resolutions: https://youtu.be/qlGQxSIvp6k Things I've already tried: Deleting the game's config files multiple times. Disabling GSYNC Setting the game to windowed/exclusive fullscreen/borderless mode. Different Windows display scalings. These two potential fixes from the other resolution bug. Forcing windowed mode and my resolution through launch commands. None of these have helped whatsoever. The game still attempts to launch at exclusive fullscreen + a very low resolution.Accessory Eyelash Thumbnails Include Standard Eyelashes
It's difficult to tell with the official EA eyelashes from Lovestruck and the BG update but their thumbnails include the standard eyelashes as well. This is much more apparent on CC eyelashes that deviate from the standard colour choices as they can be seen clipping through the brown looking EA lashes inlcuded in the thumbnails. You can see in the screenshot that the official lashes worn by my Sim are thinner than they appear in the thumbnail because the thumbnail includes the standard lashes. The thumbnails of the CC lashes make the issue more obvious. The thumbnails for the EA lashes were generated before I ever added any CC lashes to my game.18Views0likes0CommentsBlack Photos & Paintings after update 1.124.55/2.33
Hey Simmers, Today we released an update that addresses the remaining known causes of the black photo issue we’ve been tracking. Because this problem can occur in a variety of situations, we’re still monitoring for any new instances. If you encounter black photos or paintings, please report it here so we can track and investigate it properly. We understand how important these photos and paintings are, and we’re continuing to investigate all scenarios where this issue may appear. If you’re still experiencing it, please share the following details: Is this happening with old, or new photos? Are you using a brand new save, or an old one? What were you doing when this happened? (i.e. taking a photo out of your Sim’s inventory, swapping households, traveling) Are you actively loaded into the lot where the painting/photo is placed? How were these photos taken? (i.e. paintings, with the camera, through the photo booth, or with the phone) For paintings, was this a custom paint from reference, or a normal painting? Was the painting downloaded from the Gallery? Did you add any filters to the photos? What quality is the photo or painting?649Views8likes29CommentsMultiple Game-Breaking Bugs on PS4 and PS5
Platform: PS4 and PS5 I’ve been experiencing multiple severe issues in The Sims 4 on both PS4 and PS5. These problems have been happening across different gameplay sessions and often force me to completely restart the game, causing me to lose progress. Create-a-Sim Issues: The camera frequently freezes and will not move around my Sim. I cannot properly rotate or zoom to view outfits. If I switch to a category such as nails, the camera remains stuck in that position instead of returning to a normal full-body view. This makes it difficult to create Sims and review clothing, makeup, and accessories. Gallery Issues: While browsing the Gallery and viewing Sims or builds, the game sometimes becomes completely unresponsive. The game loads pack information but then freezes. No buttons respond and I cannot exit the Gallery or open menus. The only solution is to close and restart the game. Build Mode Issues: The sledgehammer and sell tools randomly stop functioning. I hear the sound effect when deleting or selling objects, but nothing happens. Sometimes objects immediately reappear after I attempt to remove them. Leaving and re-entering Build Mode does not fix the issue. Gameplay and UI Issues: Controls such as L2 and R2 stop responding. Speed controls stop working. Menus become unresponsive. The game appears active but many functions no longer work. Saving and Loading Issues: Saving can become stuck indefinitely. Manage Worlds sometimes refuses to load. Loading screens continue for a long time without progressing. The music may stop, the loading animation may freeze, and the game never finishes loading. I often have to force close the game and lose unsaved progress. Visual Issues: Text occasionally appears blurry or distorted. Loading screen elements and logos sometimes appear visually glitched. These issues have occurred on both PS4 and PS5, which makes me think this may not be a console-specific problem. I wanted to report these bugs to see if other players are experiencing similar issues and to help the team investigate possible causes.
