Blast From The Past Week 2 Bug
hey hope you can help me. I play on Windows PC if it matters I am stuck on week 2 of the event. I started the event with 1 household and created another and then added it from the gallery. I connected the new household to Emit by putting them all on 1 lot and getting them to talk. I collected the shards and I got to the point of "show Emit shards of time". I don't have that interaction no matter how many times I re-enter the game or reset either my Sim or Emit. They have like 70% friendship. I have no mods and all packs are legit and so is the base game. what do I do? did anyone experience the same issue?Not receiving newest base game items.
The newest sims delivery will not work for my sims game. I’ve removed my mods, deleted localthumbcache, restarted the EA app and removed its cache, repaired the game through steam, and I don’t know what to do. Everytime I try to download the sims delivery, it says “sims delivery error” and the error code is “00000010:000000000000c8” what I do?[CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 DLC shows as installed, won't load in-game
Overview jump to: I have the CAS Demo installed jump to: I don't have the Demo or I'm not sure whether I do jump to: I have a Steam or Epic install jump to: I'm lost/please help There is currently an issue with Sims 4 where newly installed packs won't load in-game. The cause is that the EA App installs these packs into the wrong folder. The App shows the affected packs as installed, but the game doesn't read their data. The most common cause is having the Sims 4 CAS Demo installed, but this can also happen if a computer somehow has two copies of Sims 4 itself installed. In both cases, the game is running from one folder but the pack data is in the other. The fix is to find the folder where the packs are being installed, remove or rename this folder, clear the EA App's cache, and download the missing packs again. I have the CAS Demo installed If you have the CAS Demo installed, it will likely be here: Look inside the folder for your missing packs, for example in this case, EP13 (Growing Together) and SP16 (Tiny Living) are installed into this folder: The quick fix, which works at least some of the time, is to move these folders into the folder for the Sims 4's program files. You can find the proper file location within the EA App: open your library, click the Sims 4 icon, select Manage > View properties, and you'll see the file path. The pack folders, in this case EP13 and SP16 , need to go inside this Sims 4 folder; you can simply drag and drop them, or cut and paste. Once you've moved the folders, clear the EA App's cache and repair the game: open your game library, click the Sims 4 icon, and select Manage > Repair. Then load the game and see whether the affected packs load. If this doesn't help, you can rename the CAS Demo folder; any new name or additional characters should suffice. Or, if you have no use for the CAS Demo anymore, you can simply uninstall it through the Windows control panel or Start menu. If you get an error when trying to uninstall the Demo, restart your computer. Alternately, open the Task Manager, find the EABackgroundService in the background processes list, right-click its name, and select End Task, then try again. If you've already moved the packs' folders to the proper Sims 4 folder and it didn't work, it's best to delete these, clear the EA App's cache, and download fresh copies. You can download them through Manage > Manage Add-ons. ↑ I don't have the CAS Demo/I'm not sure If you don't have the CAS Demo installed, or you're not sure whether you do, you can run a search for the missing pack(s). Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, then enter the name of the folder for an affected pack in the search field in the upper-right corner. (See this article for a full list of pack folder names.) For example, if Growing Together isn't loading in-game, search for EP13: You can see here that the folder is inside the CAS Demo folder, but you may also find that you have two "The Sims 4" folders for other reasons; these guidelines apply in any case. You'll also see a folder inside __Installer\DLC, usually a folder inside Delta, and perhaps other files if the pack includes a new world. These can be ignored; the only result that matters is the one directly inside a folder with "Sims 4" in the name, as underlined in red. In contrast, this is the result when searching for a properly-installed pack, in this case EP05 (Seasons): Once you locate the folders for the missing packs, you can try moving them to the proper location, i.e. the location the EA App lists for the game's program files. Clear the EA App's cache and repair the game afterwards. You can find it by opening your game library, clicking the Sims 4 icon, and selecting Manage > View properties: If this doesn't fix the issue, you can rename or uninstall the CAS Demo, if you have it, or delete the secondary folder. (If you get an error, restart your computer, or open the Task Manager and kill the EABackgroundService.) If this doesn't help either, you may need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of all Sims 4 content, minus your user folder, as well as the EA App. ↑ I have a Steam or Epic install If you've installed Sims 4 through Steam or Epic, but you at some point installed the game through the EA App, the App may be installing packs into an old Sims 4 folder rather than the one that Steam or Epic uses. Here again, the first step is to search for one of your missing packs. Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, then enter the name of the folder for an affected pack in the search field in the upper-right corner. (See this article for a full list of pack folder names.) For example, if Growing Together isn't loading in-game, search for EP13: The only thing that matters here is the EP13 folder installed directly inside "The Sims 4": this is the pack itself, and it needs to be in the same location as the rest of the game data. You can see that above, however, EP13 itself is installed into an EA Games folder, even though other folders labeled EP13 are inside Delta and __Installer within the Steam install's folder. The fix here is to delete the "The Sims 4" folder inside C:\Program Files\EA Games, or wherever that extra folder is. (If you can't delete it, restart your computer, and make sure the EA App and EABackgroundService are NOT running in the Task Manager.) Then clear the EA App's cache, restart your computer, and install only the affected packs, not the base game, through the EA App. If this doesn't help, you'll need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Sims 4 and the EA App. Please see here for more details. ↑ I'm lost/please help If the above doesn't help, please see the accepted solution of this thread, which should appear immediately below this post. You can also run a search for one or two missing packs, as described above, and post screenshots of the results in this thread. If you do this, be sure to list the packs that aren't working and those, if any, that do show up in-game. ↑Solved52KViews16likes927CommentsWhen Will I Receive My Elite Edition Rewards in Battlefield 2042?
Hi everyone, I just downloaded Battlefield 2042 Elite Edition yesterday. However, I’m a bit confused about when and how I’ll receive all the rewards included in the Elite Edition. From what I understand, the Elite Edition comes with: The Year 1 Pass (4 new specialists, 4 battle passes, and 3 epic skin bundles) The Midnight Ultimate Bundle (outfits, weapon skins, and vehicle skins) Additional digital content like the artbook and player card customizations I haven’t seen these rewards in my inventory yet. Could someone clarify: When will I receive these rewards? Do I need to manually claim them, or are they automatically added to my account? Is there anything specific I need to do to access them? I’ve already restarted the game and checked my platform’s store (I’m on the EA PC app), but I’m still unsure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're experiencing issues with the EA app—such as crashes or other functionality errors—a clean reinstall may help. Simply uninstalling the app through the Windows Apps & Features menu or dragging it to the Bin on macOS often leaves behind leftover files that can still cause problems. This guide will walk you through alternative methods to ensure a clean slate when reinstalling the EA app. Windows: Reinstalling the EA app Using Revo Uninstaller Why Use Revo Uninstaller? The default Windows uninstallation process often misses leftover files, which can cause persistent issues. Revo Uninstaller (the Free Version is good enough) fully removes programs and their associated files, ensuring a fresh installation. Note: This is a third-party tool, not sponsored or endorsed by EA, but it's highly effective at removing all program data, including leftover files that the default Windows uninstallation process often misses. Step 1: Download and Install Revo Uninstaller Go to the Revo Uninstaller website and download the Free Version. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Step 2: Uninstall the EA app Open Revo Uninstaller. Find the EA app in the list of installed programs. Click on it and then select Uninstall. Revo will first run the program’s default uninstaller—let this process complete. Step 3: Scan for Leftover Files After uninstalling, Revo will prompt you to scan for leftover files—select Advanced Scan. Once the scan is complete, Revo will display leftover registry entries. Click Select All → Delete. Next, it will show any remaining files and folders. Click Select All → Delete again. Restart your PC to ensure a clean removal. Step 4: Reinstall the EA App Visit the official EA app website. Download and install the latest version of the EA app. Launch the app, log in, and check if the issue is resolved. This method ensures a fresh installation, reducing the chances of persistent issues. macOS: Reinstalling the EA app Why Do a Clean Uninstall? Simply dragging the EA app to the Bin does not remove all its associated files. Leftover data in Library folders can cause issues when reinstalling. Step 1: Uninstall the EA app Option 1: Using AppCleaner (Recommended) AppCleaner is a free third-party tool that fully removes applications and their leftover files. Note: This is a third-party tool, not sponsored or endorsed by EA, but it's highly effective at removing all app-related files, which the default macOS uninstallation process often misses. Download AppCleaner from freemacsoft.net/appcleaner. Open AppCleaner and drag the EA app from the Applications folder into the AppCleaner window. AppCleaner will scan for related files—click Remove to delete them. Restart your Mac. Option 2: Manual Uninstallation (If You Don’t Want to Use AppCleaner) If you prefer to remove the EA app manually: Open Finder > Applications, then drag the EA app to the Bin. Open Finder, click Go (in the menu bar), then select Go to Folder... Delete any leftover EA app files in these locations: ~/Library/Application Support/EA ~/Library/Caches/com.ea.* ~/Library/Preferences/com.ea.* ~/Library/Logs/EA Empty your Bin and restart your Mac. Step 2: Reinstall the EA app Visit the official EA app website. Download the latest macOS version of the EA app. Open the .dmg file and drag the EA app into the Applications folder. Launch the app, log in, and check if the issue is resolved. This method ensures a completely fresh installation, removing any corrupted or leftover files that may cause issues.58Views0likes0Comments[INFO/GUIDE] Common Reasons for the EA app Library Failing to Load
We've seen a slight increase in issues reported regarding the functionality of the EA app, such as the library not loading correctly and certain features not working as expected. These issues seem to often be linked to the use of ad-blocking or DNS filtering tools like Pi-Hole or AdGuard, or VPNs with a strict DNS filter. Disabling these services may help alleviate these problems. Common symptoms experienced due to the use of such blocking services include, but is not limited to: Incomplete loading of the EA app library. Game tiles appearing greyed out. Download button missing. Friends list failing to load. Etc. If you're encountering any of these issues, consider disabling your ad-blocking or DNS filtering tools to see if it resolves the problem. Additionally, it has been discovered that whitelisting the domain "sdk.split.io" (without quotation marks) in the configs of your services should resolve the issue.23Views0likes0Comments
