General pie menu won't open
Hello, I have been trying to figure out why the pie menu won't show up when I click on adult and teen sims. It does show up for kids and toddlers though. I've cleared out my mods folder and did the 50/50 method to weed out broken mods. I broke my folder up into 4 sets of mods and tested each set and I was able to get the menu to show up. However, when I put everything back in the mods folder and loaded up my game, it wouldn't work again so idk what is happening. Idk if the last exception attachment helps but I attached it just in case. Any useful tips would be great! Thanks

Cannot click/self-interact with sim
Whenever I’m playing a family there is always a sim I cannot self-interact with (to change outfits, go jogging etc) I’ve tried to repair my game but wanted to know if anybody has had a similar experience. After the recent update it has broken many things for me relating to interacting. This seems to happen with my sims who are above the age of a child.[INFO] Using Mods/CC on a Mac
Overview For Sims 4, the process of installing mods and custom content on a Mac is the same as it is on a Windows PC. Standard mods and cc work equally well (or not at all) in both OSs, and the Sims 4 user folder has the same form and function as well. There are however a couple of technical aspects to take into consideration which this post aims to address. This guide is only for technical questions about using mods and custom content in macOS. For help with specific mods or cc, or for in-game issues that may be mod-related, please see luthienrising 's master Mod and CC Issues Support thread pinned on the right side of the Mods & Custom Content forum, or create your own thread in this forum. For Curseforge-related questions, please use this thread. jump to: Documents stored in iCloud Drive jump to: Mods/cc stored in a custom location jump to: Problems with storing data externally jump to: "Unable to start," file appears to be corrupted jump to: Formatting an external drive for mods/cc jump to: Transferring files between computers jump to: Problems loading overrides or default replacements ↑ For Documents stored in iCloud Drive In addition to enabling iCloud syncing, some users will have also have iCloud Drive enabled, pushing Documents to cloud storage. If you have done this and also enabled the "Optimize Storage" option, you may run into problems with mods/cc, saves, etc. disappearing or not loading. Please see this guide: [READ FIRST] Saves, CC/Mods or Library items disappeared? iCloud issues | EA Forums - 10979712 And post in that thread if you need further help on the subject. ↑ For mods/cc stored in a custom location In order to store mods and custom content on an external drive, or any location other than Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, you will need to create a symbolic link to tell Sims 4 where to look for the data. The external drive must be formatted as APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This is the definitive guide for storing data externally: https://bluebellflora.com/saving-your-sims-4-folder-to-an-external-drive/ If you need further help setting up the symbolic link, please post in this thread: 🛠️ Creating a symlink in macOS to store the Sims 4 folder on an external drive | EA Forums - 11034490 ↑ Common problems associated with storing mods/cc externally jump to: "Unable to start," file appears to be corrupted Mods/cc don't show up in-game Double-check that the symbolic link was created correctly and that your files are in the proper location. You should be able to double-click the symlink you created (the Sims 4 or Electronic Arts folder with the little arrow in the corner) and jump to the folder it points to. If this doesn't happen, the symlink wasn't created properly, or your computer isn't recognizing the external drive. To see the exact location of a file, right-click it and select Get Info, then look for the file path listed as "Where." My external drive is titled "Sims stuff." "Unable to start: Cannot start because the file below appears to be corrupted." Note that despite my storing my user data on an external drive, the message above still lists the file's location as Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. This is normal. When this happens for one or a few files: The mod or cc item(s) may be broken, outdated, or otherwise not compatible with Sims 4. Please remove the file(s) from your Mods folder and test with a different one. The file(s) may be corrupt. Please download and test a fresh copy. When this happens with most or all files: If the Mods folder is on an external drive, the drive may have an incompatible format, for example exFAT. Please see this section below. If the Mods folder was transferred from another computer, the files may have been corrupted in transit. Please see this section below. ↑ How to format an external drive for storing mods/cc Formatting a drive will erase it, so start by transferring any existing data you want to preserve to a different location. Open Applications > Utilities, launch Disk Utility, click View > Show All Devices (green), and you'll see something like this: The main volume for my drive is exFAT (blue), which is incompatible with Sims 4 mod/cc .package files. So I need to erase the volume (red), choosing APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) instead. The alternative, if the drive has enough free space, is to choose Partition, to the left of Erase, and create a new partition with the format of your choice. You can find more information on partitions and containers in this Apple article. If you see "Erase process has failed," erase the entire drive, titled "USB SanDisk 3.2" in my screenshot above. Choose "GUID Partition Map" as the Scheme and APFS as the Format. ↑ Transferring files between computers Mods and custom content files can be corrupted when transferred between computers, or more specifically to an external drive and then onto a different computer. This is particularly true when transferring between two different operating systems, e.g. from macOS to Windows. The workaround is to zip the folder that contains the files before transferring it, then unzip it once it's on the new computer. This protects the files from corruption. In macOS, right-click a folder and select Compress to zip it, and double-click it to unzip. In Windows, right-click and select Send to > Compressed (zip) file to zip, and right-click and Extract to extract. ↑ Overrides/default replacements With overrides and default replacements, the load order matters: files loading in the wrong order can mean some don't show up in-game at all. Please see this post for a thorough explanation and a way to specify the load order for your cc: [FIX] Struggling to use overrides/default replacements on a Mac. | EA Forums - 9355837 ↑ Thanks to @Bluebellflora for consulting on and editing this guide.How do i fix games endless loading?
I did the 50 50 method and it worked but as soon as i put all the mods back together despite working fine when doing 50% of them then took out replaced with other 50% the game wont load when i put them all in there. I have done computer scans and did a little searching see if it was the game software but that also didn't fix it. So did 50/50 method all mods work and will load. Put all in no loading, deleted local no help did a clean install and repair on game no work. checked my computer drivers and did some windows power cell searching didn't find anything the only thing i can find is when you go into the task manager and then details it has a wait chain on network but all other games are fine and quiet stable with the network even multiplayer bg3 so i dont think its my network. {that game is massive wifi eater on multiplayer}. I also play on a gaming computer with decent memory left so i doubt its incompatibility. This only started after update. i have also manually checked every mod is up to date. No error codes thrown either so no error page to show.1020 Alto Apartment appearing on Willow Creek Map (Glitch)
I currently have this issue in my save where 1020 alto apartment appears ontop of my willow creek map. I tried to bulldoze the 1020 apartment lot but my game crashes everytime i try to load into it. Anyone have a fix? Alot of my builds are bugged in this save, some keep disappearing & appearing where they aren't meant to.
