Sims 4 not playable after the royalty and legacy expansion
Since purchasing the Sims 4 royalty and legacy expansion pack, my Sims 4 no longer functions. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled it, cleared the cache, deleted all my game saves, and I'm now playing on the lowest graphics settings, yet my game still freezes constantly. This is extremely frustrating because this game is so expensive with all the expansions, and now it has been rendered unplayable. I have now placed all my hopes in the new patch from February 19, 2026 (7.1 GB), but the problem has not been fixed. It is frustrating. I play without mods or CC. I play on PC with the EA App. I just want to play my 100 Baby Challenge :'( XDLegacy Family Tree freezes (app unresponsive) with over 100 descendants.
"Incorrect connection occurs when there are 10 or more wives and 30 or more descendants. Tree Collapse occurs when there are 50 or more descendants." This issue occurred before the family tree update. The new family tree freezes (app unresponsive), possibly because it has more than 100 descendants. The family tree before the update displays without freezing (app unresponsive), but the tree collapses. Possible cause: The field displaying the family tree is not properly expanded.

E A APP ISSUE
I am a Veteran Sim of many years and feeling rather angry as to what is happening to the EA APP as its takes forever to open and display and then I play for a while then shut for a break then try to open EA APP again Is this since the latest update Never had issues before and i have a whole library of Sims Games including the new pack I have no mods I removed them repaired APP removed App reinstalled etc now getting fed up Please adviseError Code 132:<Various Numbers>/Corrupt Ladders
Note: English is not my native language. I analyzed my LastException files with an AI assistant, and it helped me compile the following bug report based on our findings. Product: The Sims 4 Platform: PC / Windows 11 Which language are you playing the game in? Traditional Chinese How often does the bug occur? 100% (Reproducible chain of events) Summary: Placing a ladder that overlaps with other objects using bb.moveobjects on creates a "Ghost Ladder" (item is auto-sold but remains visible). This triggers a RuntimeError: Unable to acquire ladder data, causing a dirty zone shutdown. Critically, this error causes severe save corruption across different worlds: 1. Identity Theft: Saving the game in Evergreen Harbor after this error caused the save file to be incorrectly named "Spencer-Kim-Lewis" (the default family of Cypress Terrace in Willow Creek), even though my active household was a custom Sim in Evergreen Harbor. 2. Zone ID Lock: The game gets stuck on a specific Zone ID from Willow Creek (613...144), causing infinite loading screens when traveling. 3. Visual Corruption: Lots in Willow Creek (specifically Cypress Terrace) fail to update their World Map visuals (LOD), reverting to older versions or disappearing entirely (Oakenstead becomes an empty field), proving the Zone Manager is desynchronized. Steps to Reproduce & The Chain of Events: 1. The Trigger (Evergreen Harbor): In Build Mode (Evergreen Harbor, Container Lot), use bb.moveobjects on. Place a ladder overlapping a bed or wall. Observation: The "sell" sound plays and funds are refunded (e.g., +§96), but the ladder visually remains on the lot. Technical Result: The ladder object is deleted from the server but remains on the client, causing RuntimeError: Unable to acquire ladder data upon exit. 2. The Corruption (Save File): Attempt to save the game after the ladder glitch occurs. Observation: The save file is named "Spencer-Kim-Lewis" (Willow Creek resident), despite playing a completely different household in Evergreen Harbor. Technical Result: The game failed to capture the current zone data and fell back to a stuck/cached Zone ID from Willow Creek. 3. The Aftermath (Willow Creek): Load the save or travel to Willow Creek. Observation 1: "Cypress Terrace" (the lot associated with the stuck ID) shows an incorrect/outdated LOD model on the map or from neighboring lots. Observation 2: Neighboring lots (e.g., Oakenstead) may fail to render, appearing as empty grass fields. Observation 3: Infinite loading screen when trying to enter these lots due to Zone ID Conflict. Evidence / LastException Logs: 1. The Root Cause (Ladder Error): File: build_ladders_mixin.py Error: RuntimeError: Unable to acquire ladder data for objID [Object ID]. Context: Occurs during buildbuy_session_end in Evergreen Harbor. 2. The Consequence (Zone ID Lock): File: zone_manager.py Error: RuntimeError: Attempting to set _zone_id to [Target Lot ID] when its already set [Stuck Willow Creek ID]. Context: Occurs when the game fails to switch focus from the "stuck" Willow Creek ID.Blue box in lower left hand corner and not being able to play households.
whenever I go to load into a sim family it takes me to the loading screen only to bring me back to the worlds management with a blue flickering box around the area where the sims would be. And near that box baby bottles that say x8 appear and the lot no longer has a sim in it. I have tried this again with the same family and after the secound time of doing it, it completely deleted my sims and brought me back to world management with the blue box in the lower left corner. This has happened even after I have updated the game. Thank you, - Shaky2v
