In-game photos have become blurry, as if compressed
I loaded into a save for the first time in a little under a month and immediately noticed that my medium- and large-sized photos have become blurry, as if they've been compressed. It's to the point where they're kind of hard to look at. I frequently take and rearrange photos, so I would've noticed it before. I tried this with a save that I'd opened since the update, one that I hadn't opened since the update, and one that I hadn't opened with mods disabled. It was the same each time. I've attached a screenshot so you can see, for reference, that the larger photo is noticeably blurrier than the small one. (The small photo in the screenshot is from a photo booth, which I know works a bit differently, but I didn't notice any abnormal blurring in the other small photos.) It's a bit dark though, my apologies
Household receives positive bill they can't pay (wrong Math)
Hello everyone, I've been having a problem for a few days with the unpaid bills in my household: they're positive, i.e. I'm told I have to pay +120, but it's impossible! I've tried moving several times, getting my game repaired, changing houseshold too, but nothing helps! And when you look at the invoice information, it says I have to pay -22,000 in the total invoice estimate, but when you look at the unpaid total, it says I have to pay +120. I don't understand what's going on, I hope you can help me. Have a nice day! Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ
Server Error uploading to gallery/library
This is the text in the error message: Server error. We could not process this gallery request. Please try again later. I tried uploading the image from my phone, but I can't get my laptop to do so. Anyone else having this problem, for me it started after the new burglar update. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (1.102.190/1.82)
My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit migrated bug report: [ARCHIVED] Photos/Paintings turning black (1.102.190/1.82) | EA Forums - 11628056 Archived thread had around 37 me toos EDIT by crinrict The photos get removed from your save game with this bug. There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.
Neighboring Houses show as Default/Empty
Issue When loading into a lot, all the neighboring houses show either as an empty lot or show the default lot that comes with the game. Loading into the lot shows the correct lot. Thumbnails on the map are also correct. There is no endless loading. Info It's unclear what's happening here but I tested this on a save and found that it was only an issue for certain families. Loading the same lot with a different family showed the houses fine. It looks like a rending issue where the game doesn't find the correct data and shows either an empty lot (if the lot comes empty on a new game) or with the house that was originally on that lot. At this point I do not know if this is an early sign of save game corruption. Workaround In the save I tested, I was able to fix the issue by simply moving the affected families out and back in.

Are you using mods/cc ? Does the above workaround help you and can you confirm that it doesn't happen for all families ?

Steps to Reproduce: Start a new save or load an existing one. Go to any public lot and observe the generated townies. Check the outfits they are wearing. Expected Result: Townies should spawn in outfits that look intentional and coherent (matching style, clothing category, and overall appearance). Actual Result: Townies often spawn in outfits that are completely mismatched, with clothing items from unrelated categories (e.g., workout shorts with formal tops, clashing accessories, hats or random items thrown together that look horrible). This creates unrealistic and immersion-breaking appearances. Notes: It seems like the game is pulling clothing items at random without checking if they work together.
