terrain visual glitch
This appears randomly when adjusting the camera angle in both build and live mode. It's a purely visual bug as far as I can tell. Large chunks of the terrain as well as walls of buildings flicker with these lines, but it disappears whenever the camera is held still. I have tried repairing my game and removing mods and I have been having this issue for weeks.
Kernel-power 41 (Cat 63)
My PC is a 2 week old build, I have had no issues playing TS4 over the past 4 days, I have easily banked 50+ hours of gameplay already. However yesterday I purchased & installed 3 packs and updated the game alongside the 150+ bug updates that were released yesterday. My game will now not run for longer than 30mins, my entire PC shuts down & I have to reboot manually. I have error code kernel-power 41, which online points me to issues with my PSU. I don't have any CC or mods. I will provide more details shortly but I am posting this in hope that others are having similar issues since the update? Maybe it's a big coincidence & my hardware is the issue, but I've heard that with these rollouts theres often some huge impacts to the games playability. And for my system to be running completely fine prior to this...? I am not hopeful. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate as I go about diagnosing & wishfully fixing this. Possible issues: Bug fix rollout has caused game crashing Hardware issue - PSU?Color changing with Logitech keyboard
Hello Simmers does anyone know why it happens? I bought logitech G203 lightsync mice and logitech G213 keyboard. Mice and keyboard changes colors perfectly but it has one problem. When my sims is in a peacefull or excited moods the mice changes colors but keyboard doesnt show any color. Does anyone know why? And maybe knows how to fix it?
Loading screen when first loading the game turns black
When I try to load the game I see the initial loading screen but then it turns black, all I can see is the cursor. I have removed all mods, checked all my graphics drivers are up to date and updated and repaired the game but problem is still happening.My game is glitching but other games arent.
Okay so my sims 4 game is no longer working. It’s strange. I’m attaching a screenshot to show you what is happening. I thought it was my video card but it isn’t. Unless somehow, sims 4 is more graphically intensive than Elden Ring, World of Warcraft, and others. I do have mods but the mods were working fine a second ago. Mods have never done this before. I do have my graphics driver updated. If you look at the screenshot you can barely see that it’s like it’s pixelated and blown up WAY too big. When I hover over it with my mouse it looks fine. When I click on it it’s bizarre and pixelated. I turned off nvidia overlay, steam overlay, EA overlay, everything I could and nothing is helping. Any ideas would be great. Thanks! Edit: I removed all my mods just to be sure. Also, this happens with Skyrim too. I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m hoping someone has had this happen before and knows how to fix it. Seems to be older games this happens with.Sims 4 unplayable: UI overlaps and screen freezes
My entire game is glitching. When i launch it, all the images double up and i cant do anything. The Sims keep moving and the game seems to be runing in the background, but my entire screen is frozen. I have updated both the EA app and Sims 4, but the game is literally unplayable.[April 16 Patch] Total Monitor Signal Loss / Black Screen - Brand New PC
Since the April 16th update, my game is causing a total hardware-level crash that forces my monitor to lose its HDMI signal ("No Signal"). This isn't just a game crash; it's locking my entire display system multiple times. Some system Specs: PC is only a few months old. OS: Windows 11. Issue: Signal Dropout (Monitor goes black/loses handshake with GPU). Troubleshooting Already Attempted (Persistent Failure): The Vanilla Test: Renamed "The Sims 4" folder to "The Sims 4 OLD" to force a clean generation. Issue persists. Launch Options: Used -dx9, -w, and -r:1280x720 in EA App properties. Still crashes to a black screen upon entering a lot. Cache Clearing: Deleted localthumbcache.package and the cache folders. Physical Resets: Have had to unplug monitor and HDMI from the wall and PC over 10 times today to force the "handshake" back after the game kills the signal. Recovery Menu: Had to use the "X4 Power Off" trick just to get the desktop back because the graphics driver is locking up so hard many many times aftee thinking I had it sorted. Only to find with a complete virgin game, it still crashes. Summary: The game was working perfectly on this new hardware, even at first after the the v1.123 update, then yesterday this started. Now, moving a Sim into a house causes an immediate "No Signal" blackout. I am currently unable to use my computer for anything else until I perform a lengthy physical reset of the monitor. This is a critical hardware conflict with the new update. And after doing this numerous times today, Ive had to just leave the pc in a state on unuse until I can get the pc & monitor talking again. The game is rendered unusable for now even with a complete clean state fresh start.Live mode is unplayable
I have not played The Sims in a couple of months so when I got my gaming laptop back (a Lenovo that I've had absolutely no problem playing the Sims on before) I've seen a few people have this issue before and they've been able to get help on here so I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to do. I have already reset my entire laptop itself, removed all of my mods and deleted and reinstalled the game multiple times. I'm at my wits end. My save files are completely fine and everything else seems to be running perfectly but the game itself won't stop glitching
