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?
Sims file keep saving in C:\Users\Public
Hey guys !! So 2 weeks ago, I needed to gain some storage space on my PC and I accidentally deleted OneDrive. It messed up everything. I lost all my sims 4 progress, but fortunately everything was synced to OneDrive. I redownloaded everything from OneDrive, but my game won't recognize my old sims folder. At first, it created a new OneDrive folder in my documents folder, and when I deleted it and replaced it by my old sims 4 folder, it generated a new sims 4 folder in C:\Users\Public. My question is how can I move back my sims 4 folder to C:\Users\(my user profile)\Documents, and how can I restore my game process ? Thank u so much !!!!
Camera will not rotate with ctrl + left/right arrows.
Hey y'all, I've run into a problem as of yesterday (11/3/25) with my camera controls. My left/right arrows will move me side to side, but when using the ctrl function, the camera will not rotate. My up/down arrows work just fine including using the ctrl function. It worked for a few moments upon initial start up but stopped. I have restarted my game multiple times, including my computer itself. I have tried toggling between the Sims 4/3 camera, inverted camera controls, and edge scrolling. I have mods installed yet tried to troubleshoot with those. I disabled mods, and removed the folder + deleted the local thumb cache. Nothing has worked. As of today (11/ 4/25) with the new update, the arrow keys still do not work. For extra context, I am on a laptop and do not use a USB mouse. My arrows work just fine for the Sims 3 but no longer work for the Sims 4. This has never been an issue before, so confused how this happen. Would very much appreciate a solution, please and thank you! :)
DirectX Error crashing game constantly
I can't play for more than 15 minutes at most before the game crashes with this error. Sometimes it even crashes immediately after loading in. My drivers are up to date. This is the only game I am having issues with. I only started getting this after the Season 1 update.
Unintended Behavior of Replay Stutter "Fix"
Replay Exports technically dont stutter (the skater) anymore, but they now "jitter" - because the "Fix" seems to remove frames (or not capture frames) where the skater is frozen.. This means the skater technically doesnt stutter now but the cameras do if youre using a moving freecam method during export process -- Which probably isn't the way you're suppose use freecam but it does make FAR better looking clips if you use it that way. Anyway because the camera is moving when the export system "deletes" or "skips" frozen skater frames in the final export, it results in jumps where the camera seems to "teleport" -- the teleporting isn't a bug, its just that the export system skipped the frames where the camera moved to that position because the skater was frozen This is all surely because I use a PC that runs similar to a ps4 (i7 4790 CPU, 1650 Super GPU, 16Gb Ram), but can there possibly be alternative fixes that don't have skater stutter or camera jitter? This game runs smoothly in real time gameplay, but in replay mode, suddenly the skater is stuck at certain points (landings, pops and sometimes rarely just mid grind or cruise), but when you rewind and go very slow at those points of stutter (they are always at the same spots) the full animation can play without hitching. I would want the export system to somehow determine where those things happen and maybe just run at a very very slow static speed (non changing slow speed) while exporting -- because the current system is adaptive and will run as slow as needed to reach fps target, which is nice feature honestly but maybe running the game even slower at a static speed would help with smoothness overall A setting to set export speed to ultra slow 0.10x speed that results in a smooth 1x speed video file would atleast solve the issue until something more solid can fix it in real-time replay mode (I attached files that show the raw exports that include the game camera exploding randomly annoyingly)
when u press play it says error code 852146987
I can’t even play the game whenever I try to log on in the menu when u press play it says error code 852146987 and I already have my ea account linked onto my PS5 no matter what I do or try to nothing works I haven’t even got the chance to play the game yet. Ea please sort this out. Apparently it’s because there are too many players on the game but it’s been doing the same thing to me for 2 months now exactly the same thing it just comes up with the error code. [Title edit - CM]Laptop to play the sims 4
