Unplayable on Console
For the past 2 days I have not been able to make any choices or confirm any button clicks after about 1-2minutes of gameplay in every single save. Can not make choices, can not click on choices, can not click options and can not click on sims; stuck in options window. Can move around the options but can not select. Can not even open the save menu to try to leave. Must restart game. I have restarted the game over 10 times and it has not solved the problem. I cleared the cache. Deleted and redownloaded game. Every save file I have becomes unplayable after 1-2 minutes. Every other video game I have is working perfectly fine…..I am a PS5 player so I have NO mods. I have tried playing without “testingcheats true” on so many times; it doesn’t matter if you have it on or not. Is someone going to help? Or is the game unplayable and need to delete for good? Thanks!Married couples become unmarried/partners after entering CAS
My sims got married, had all the marriage buffs. I entered create a sim via the custom tattoo option. Upon exiting CAS my sims got a pop up that they were now the partners of each other. They had to get remarried. Then I went to plan their outfits and the same thing happened. No mods or custom content. Playing on PC. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title[XB/PS] Controls/Action Menus stop working (Patch 2.37)
I had just booted up the game and loaded up my save when I went to interact with the computer. The interaction menu thing for the computer came up and I could use the left stick freely to move around the options, however when trying to select an option I was unable to. I was also unable to do anything else within the game such as back out of the menu open up the main menu to save and exit, open up the controls screen, unpause the game and everything else. I sat there for a few minutes as I’ve had this happen before and it normally goes away. It did not. Every button apart from moving the left stick and the Xbox button didn’t work so it’s definitely an issue with the game. I just completely shut down the game and tried again a few hours later after restarting my console. I had the same issue again in the same save but this time I was able to click the “Write…” option and almost start having my sim write a book using the computer until it stopped on the screen where it ask you to name the book and write a description of it where the exact same thing happened again. This is making my game completely unplayable as it seems to be one of those bugs that is just inevitable in my save no matter how many times I restart my console and load up the save again. I did some testing in a different save and had a different issue where I couldn’t interact with the computer at all but my controls worked perfectly fine with everything else so it seems to be an issue with computers?

Not sure why this would suddenly start. There was no patch or anything. Only use this thread if you are on console.[LS] Axolotls not spawning

My Sims will no longer perform actions unless I either instruct them to do so multiple times or keep the selected Sim selected until the action is completed since the update released on June 1, 2025 examples: my sim stops cooking to practice writing (he didn't have any skill previously and is not in a writing career) my sim stops taking care of her baby to listen to music on another floor (the radio was off until she turned it on) my toddler wakes herself up from sleeping even though she's exhausted (there was nothing in the room to wake her up and she didn't have any other negative moodlets)
Upgrade parts/ingredients not recognized to upgrade/create something
Whenever I try to upgrade something, or create something (something from the fabrication station, candle station, robotic station, etc), it says I don't have the parts that are needed, even though they are in my sim's inventory. This only happens when I purchase the items, which is how I get most of my upgrade parts and all of my dyes. If my sim obtains the parts through actions like tinkering at the robotics station or receiving a part from repairing an object, then the game recognises that the sim has the part in their inventory. This has just started happening within the last two days Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
