Soft bans gone?
Hello FC Community, There is currently a rumor going around that soft bans have been removed. I can't imagine that being the case, as it is a security measure, but could EA provide some brief feedback on this? Thanks and best regards ME7G0RE

Can't speed up pregnancy
I am not able to change my sims trimester to 2 or 3 or put her into labor, and I didn't know if there was a different cheat code that would work? I've tried "sims.add_buff pregnancy_inlabor" and similar variations of that and it still hasn't worked. And I have cheats enabled. So am I just putting the chest in wrong over and over, or is this an issue for most games?

I recently got a lot from the gallery and placed it in the Newcrest world for my gender reveal. When going back to my household and trying to plan an event through the calendar, the “Newcrest” world is not even an option . Can someone please tell me how to fix this or what I am doing wrong Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue

[INFO] How to Use Mods and CC
Introduction The Answers HQ Sims 4 Mod/CC Issues forum is here for your fellow Simmers to help you get playing again when, inevitably, a game update “breaks” some mods and CC. And even though Maxis has built mod use right into Sims 4, things can go very wrong, even corrupt a whole save. Ultimately, players are responsible for their own mod/CC use and its effects on the game. If you use mods/CC, it’s important that you know how to use them safely, how to manage them at game updates, and how to figure out when a mod is what’s causing you problems. This topic covers how to use mods and custom content (CC) with Sims 4, whether you’re completely new to using them, have run into a problem with installation etc., or just want a refresher. Many thanks to Crinrict, whose previous FAQ on this topic was essential for parts of this one. Index to This Topic Best Practices for Playing with Mods/CC Terms We Use When We Talk About Mods/CC Finding and Downloading Mods/CC: including Safe Simming Installing Mods and CC Removing and Updating Mods and CC Organizing Your Mods Folder Custom Content, "Modded," and the Gallery Game Updates and Your Mods: including Using the Broken/Updated list When Your Game Doesn’t Work: Finding Broken Mods and CC, including vanilla testing to find out if mods/CC are your problem and the 50-50 method for identifying broken mods/CC Getting Support: including how to get a full list of your mods Related Topics Using Mods/CC on a Mac – for Mac-specific technical issues in Mod/CC use Recently Broken/Updated Mods and CC, pinned in The Sims 4 Mods and Custom Content forum – regularly updated lists of broken/obsolete and updated mods and CC, creators clearing mods for the latest patch, new bugfix mods, and news from creators; a new topic is started for most patches Mod/CC Issues Master Post, pinned in The Sims 4 Mods and Custom Content forum – key new, recent, and common issues; includes links to previous Broken/Updated Mods and CC lists and other useful posts for mod/CC users How to fix your OneDrive issues – OneDrive is a known cause of many Sims 4 issues, including with mod installation; head here to learn what it causes and how to get your Sims stuff away from it Moving your “The Sims 4” game folder (and therefore your mods) – on Mac; on Windows How to find your user files. This is a way to make sure you're in the right Mods folder. How to back up your saves. Common Game-Fixing Mods – a list of mods created as temporary fixes for game bugs, with links; NOTE: This is rarely updated, and I'm working on an alternative. Best Practices for Playing with Mods/CC Source your mods safely. Install following modders’ instructions. That includes making sure you have all the necessary files, not just the ones attached to a mod post. It can also mean you have to delete some files. Keep an organized Mods folder. Don’t merge package files. Keep your mods up to date. Don’t rely entirely on mod managers. Keep a backup of your Saves, especially before updating the game. Check for broken/updated mods/CC, especially at patch time. Don’t sync your Sims folders, including with OneDrive. Learn how to test your Mods folder. Don't use ChatGPT and random web searches to find out what broke. Terms We Use When We Talk About Mods/CC mod = content that’s not from Maxis that changes how the game behaves or that adds new items to the game and that goes in the Mods folder. This doesn’t include Sims, lots, or rooms. It does include CAS and Build/Buy items (CC). gameplay mod = a mod that impacts gameplay. Often just called “mods” in the Sims community. Some also require a Build/Buy mode object or downloading a lot. custom content (CC) = Sims mods that that are items found in Build/Buy and CAS modes. Some have gameplay associated with them. UI mod = Sims mods that change how the games menus look and/or function. Many mods with other functions (adding additional traits, enabling cheats, extending Build mode) also change the UI. package file = a .package file extension (the last part of a filename, after the period) is used for basic file for a mod or custom content. Not all package files are for Sims 4! script mod = a mod that includes a file with the filename extension .ts4script. Script mods impact gameplay and often have multiple files. Don’t place mods with these more than one folder deep; see Installation. dependencies = mods that other mods depend on. Read more on these here. localthumbcache = a specific .package file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, created by the game. DO delete this every time you remove or replace files in the Mods folder. last exception (LE) = an error, reported in a file, that the game produces. The mods Better Exceptions and MC Command Center both produce "pretty" versions of LEs with added information. vanilla = without mods. If you’re asked to “test vanilla,” drag the Mods folder to your desktop and delete the file called localthumbcache. A vanilla test is used to determine if a game problem is caused by mods. 50-50 = a method of testing mods in batches instead of one at a time. Explained here. tools = software used to support Sims 4, including mod use, that doesn’t go in the Mods folder. For example, Sims 4 Studio (used for editing CC and batch-updates of CC) and Sims 4 Tray Importer (used for finding which CC a Sim is wearing).

FC25 on PC is basically UNPLAYABLE unless you cheat – What’s going on EA?
EA, I’ve seriously had enough.I quit this game a while ago because of the cheaters — now I came back, and guess what? Still 90% of games on PC are full of slider hacks, speed boosts, insane custom mods. It’s literally IMPOSSIBLE to play fair and win. Unless you cheat, you’re just wasting your time.Is EA even trying? Or are y’all selling the cheats yourselves? I’ve reported a bunch of these guys, added them, tracked them, they’re still online every day like nothing happened.And now the game’s on sale, so more kids are joining with $10 and ruining every match.And what’s the point of buying FC26 if it’s gonna be EXACTLY the same? Hell, the cheat devs already made sliders for FC26 and figured out how to hide their platform – so even disabling crossplay does NOTHING.Cheaters are literally working harder than EA. That’s wild.If this keeps up, this game’s gonna die — not because it’s bad, but because nobody at EA gives a **** about protecting legit players.

Add UEFA coefficient Ranking
Dear EA I think to be the game more realistic you must add to the game uefa coefficients ranking. Would be better if you add more European leagues like the greek and the Cypriot but this another painful conversation.
