[CURRENT ISSUE] Anti-Virus blocking User Folder (Screenshots/Gallery/Mods..)
There's currently an issue where some virus programs (namely AVG and AVAST) are blocking the user folder. There are several symptoms currently for this issue Taking Screenshots and Videos doesn't work as the game is unable to write them to the screenshot/recorded video folder Mods/CC and other changes in the options stay how they currently are cause the game is unable to write the changes to the file Gallery has red X showing instead of pictures. I assume that's the same problem as the game is unable to download the thumbnail pictures to the cache folder GameVersion.txt shows the wrong game version To solve this you need to add the following files as an exception to your Antivirus Program (see instructions for your particular program on how to do this). C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\EADesktop.exe C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_x64.exe For DX9: C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\TS4_DX9_x64.exe Paths may vary depending on your installation. Both Avast/AVG have sections for Ransomware. You need to add it there. Please see instructions here: Add Exceptions to Anti Virus Programs If you are using Windows Defender, the Ransomware settings have similar effects. Details on how to solve this here: Windows 10 Defender – Controlled Folder Access If this doesn't help, try deleting your cache files: Delete Cache Files and move options.ini to the desktop. If you have further issues, please state which program your using in your post.

A Birthday Wish FC 26 on Nintendo Switch
Hello EA Team, My name is Erdem Ata Öztürk, and I’ve been a passionate fan of the FIFA/FC series for as long as I can remember. Every year, I look forward to the release of each new game. This year is extra special because FC 26 launches on my birthday. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to buy the game this year. My biggest wish is to play FC 26 on Nintendo Switch on release day. I’m especially excited about the improvements in Career Mode, the new features in Ultimate Team, and the more realistic gameplay. That’s why I have a small but meaningful request: Could you please send me an FC 26 code for Nintendo Switch? It would be the best birthday gift I’ve ever received. Regardless of the outcome, thank you for giving me such enjoyable football experiences over the years. I hope you can make this birthday unforgettable for me. Best regards Erdem Ata Öztürk[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 Before doing anything else, please clear the EA App's cache, repair the game (Sims 4 > Manage > Repair), and restart your computer, then see whether your packs load. Sometimes the fix is really that simple. 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. ↑
PLEASE REPOND EA TEAM
whenever i play the game i plug in a controller but the game still picks up the mouse input as if im playing with the mouse. it is stuck to the center of the screen and interrupts the controller input and player behavior. i try to move it to the top of the screen or the to corner and after a few seconds it resets back to the center and interrupts the input. this is a known issue with no solution from you as far as ive seen online to try and solve it. i tried unplugging the mouse entirely but it somehow still resets to the middle and does the same. i tried deleting the mouse from device manager so it doesnt exist in the playing session and still the problem occurs. i tried opening the game with mouse and keyboard, cahnged the input mode to keyboard only and still the mouse is reset in the middle as if im using it. i tried fullscreen, borderless, windowed and in all of them i moved the mouse away waited until the icon is gone continued with the controller and still. please help me.
EA/Dice please don’t CoD this game - Listed Fixes/Nerfs/imps. is must!
(**Changes 19/08/2025) — Promote subject guys for better and more enjoyable gameplay in the future💙 **First I wanna say the game is little bit dissapointed and I explain why, the Game feels like cod we would like the game to feel more like Battlefield. **(I allready see people jump shot, drop shot, bunny hopping, and slide shotting every corner with accuracy of 99/100% hit just like in cod with sweaty players, its soo anooying!) Nerf — The Jump slide, the slide is too far. Nerf — The overall of the slide needs a very tiny touch, but not like Battlefield v. Nerf — The drop shot, make the prone more animated and not fast like cod. Nerf — The accuracy of the gun when sliding>ads so it won't be accurate just like in CoD. Nerf — The accuracy of the gun when jumping>ads so it won't be accurate just like in CoD. Nerf — The overall of the movment speed with the smg's/pistols when ads is a little bit fast. Nerf — The Auto spoting detect enemies from far away, and it need to set to close/medium range like in bf4. Nerf — Remove The glint of the sniper scope is too strong, or turn it down a lot and to show the glint only for 1 second when someone pointing the scope on you. **Fix — Remove the emoji wheel from spotting enemies and keybind it to something different, the emoji wheel showing all the time, and brought up too fast. **Fix — Remove the ping sign marks when trying to spotting enemies the ping sign marks cover and hide the enemies, instead of spoting clearly enemies. **Fix — The position of the smg's when running is not centered on screen. **Fix — The game needs to be optimized cause the Gameplay performance is very bad the game is on very low and its stutering and thers very low fps even on rtx4070ti. (high spec pc etc..) **Fix — Time to die is too fast, It feels like if you don’t have 1 millisecond response time or if anyone sees you first you’re dead. No chance of killing the person already shooting at you. **Fix — The bunny hoppin in this game specialy after slide momentum, seriously what the hell is going on it meant to be battlefield not CoD. **Fix — The wrong hand placment on some foregrips. (added pictures down below to shown) **Fix — Mini map is too tiny even on 100% size. **Fix — Remove the 100-point attachment limit for weapons. Instead, allow players to equip as many attachments as they want, but make each one come with stronger pros and cons. This way, customization can be more creative without breaking balance Now here is why so many call it CoD and not battlefield.👇🏻 https://youtube.com/shorts/HnMw0emtrsk?si=VsV27pRXS21MKfeQ
