Save Game Corruption (Disappearing Lots/Error 800 or 801)
Problem The save game starts to disintegrate itself. Lots start to get deleted, causing endless loading, loading into empty lots or Error Codes 800/801. The problem usually starts in Willow Creek and then goes on to other lots. There are several symptoms of this issue as outlined in these AHQ threads. Me too count of the archived threads in barckets. Default Lots Showing in Surrounding World (54) [NEEDS SAVES] Houses/Lots disappear/Error 800 or 801 (314) [NEEDS SAVES] Orange/Green Exclamation signs over lots / Houses disappear (246) [FR] Corrupted lot/Houses disappear Map doesn't update changes to lots/ Can't change lot type (7) Lots randomly revert back to defaults (20) Llama pictures on lots (possibly also incomplete installation - repair your game first) Troubleshooting The issue is really hard to pinpoint but there are a few things that can accelerated the issue. This issue is not mod caused but it can be influenced by mods and cheats, especially if you create lots of Residential Rental units in your save game. Save Game Size. The issue usually typically happens on larger save games. There are a few factors that contribute to save game size that you can keep an eye on Lots of huge houses with lots of objects: Try to keep those down. Consider using empty houses for set decoration if you don't play certain lots but want houses to make it look nicer Photos Sims take ingame. Try to only keep the photos you really like and that contribute to your gameplay. Delete everything else. Photos take up a lot of space in the save. Lots of Sims. The game creates Sims at abundance. Delete the ones you don't use from time to time. Usually there's nothing you can do once it starts happening.2.3KViews57likes44Comments[CURRENT ISSUE] Game screen glitches when I load into other lots. NVIDIA GPU
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:Mac Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? Idk What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Most of everything but no kits. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Going to a community lot What happens when the bug occurs? The screen glitches different colors. What do you expect to see? Not a rave light show on my computer Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes Please describe the patch or change you made. This only started happening after the latest update When I load onto other lots outside of my household the screen glitches different colors and weird streaks. This only happened after the last patch update. Edit - edited title to reflect status (Bluebellflora)572Views4likes38CommentsConstant Fires
I'm having constant fires, even on furniture that should not be flammable. I've had the same dining chair catch fire 2 times already in the same day (sims time). A TV that was not in use caught fire. Now a toilet caught fire. Not sure why the frequency of fires, or how to stop it.21Views1like3CommentsBroken Worlds Sims 3

Yesterday, I downloaded the Sims 3 Roaring Heights Gold Edition on my Mac Book Pro through the EA App and after I payed, I thought I was able to install it but what happens is that when I click on the install buttons, nothing happens. When my house hovers over the other buttons, the buttons disappear and I can't interact with them. I have to close the launcher because of that. When I reopen the game launcher, Roaring Heights does not show up and when I try to download again, the same issues repeat. At this point I am so lost. I even uninstalled the Sims 3 with all my EP's and SP's and the store content I have downloaded and even after that, I still have the same issues☹️ At this point I don't know what else to. I'm not very tech savvy but I wish Origin still existed. Thank you and have a good day🙂Solved616Views0likes5CommentsCan't download anything (SIMS 3 MAC)
Hello, So I'm unable to download anything to my game, and I'm especially trying to download Lucky Palms. I have made a new sims 3 folder, deleted everything in the cache, and nothing works. When I click the install button, nothing happens and I'm unable to click any buttons. HELP!!!6Views0likes0CommentsMy Sims won't load up past the opening sims 4 animation.
I recently started having a problem in the sims where my game simply won't load up. I don't have very many mods, but I thought the ones I had could be causing the issues, so those were the first to go. I deleted all of them figuring I could just build my folder back up when the game was more stable. However, this didn't work. No big deal I deleted the game and re-downloaded it, thinking it was my PC acting up. Nope, still didn't work. Finally I watched a couple videos, tried repairing my game, tried advanced launching into "-dx9", deleted EA all together, redownloaded it onto my computer, deleted and redownloaded the sims 3-4 times, the works. Just to get stuck on that animation screen and then for my game to close back onto itself and bring me back to EA. So what could be the issue? I've tried everything I can imagine, but nothings working, and this has been days on end. PLEASE HELP!!Sims 3 .dmg Package Includes Unusable 32-bit installer
Hello, Using a Steam CD Key I went to install The Sims 3 on my 2015 MacBook Pro running macOs 12.1. The EA App redeemed the code no problem. I assumed that because there was no option to select the 64-bit version that the client would automatically download the 64-bit game. The .dmg package downloaded to my machine (the_sims_3macfg__ww_securom_originalrun_1__origin__idjit_data_store458615dc4f12481c943a21108f6f892f) contains .exe files and "The Sims 3 Installer" that is 32-Bit. Obviously this cannot be installed on my Mac, so now I am completely confused. Did I miss a step in the download process, or do I have to re-purchase the game through EA to get the 64-bit version? I brought up this issue to a support staff member in the EA Help Chat that did not have a solution, and urged me to post my issue here. I appreciate any assistance. Best, JDSolved724Views1like5CommentsSims 3 Crashing
Hello. I have The Sims 3 on my Macbook (OS Sequoia 15.0.1) and I used to play the 64-bit version on Origin, but after shifting to the EA app, it went back to the 32-bit version so it doesn't run anymore (keeps crashing after a few minutes). Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks.20Views1like2Comments
