[FR] White Screen when loading world with residential rentals
I have the Sims 4 for Playstation 4, it's the most recent update available for the system. I made a rental residential lot with 4 units in newcrest, saved the game, and closed it. The next day I tried to open back into newcrest and when I selected it from manage world I got a white screen and nothing loaded. I could still open the options menu and gallery. I waited 5 minutes, nothing changed. So I exited to the main screen, re loaded the game, went into a household and tried to travel to newcrest, same thing happened. I exited to main screen again loaded a different save, and was able to travel to newcrest on the save that did not have the rental.

Please use this thread if you build any residential rentals in the worlds you can't load. Use this thread for worlds with penthouses: [CL] [LS] White Screen when loading world with penthouses | EA Forums - 12605482 Create your own thread if you have the issues in worlds that don't have either ---------------------------- This issue is caused by bugged residential rentals and often happens when you change the lot type back and forth. You can find a tutorial in my blog on how to fix it: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2020/11/mod-related-white-screen-when-travelling-to-new-world/ but the S4Studio one is still very experimental. I had it work and not work depending on the save. Disabling for rent, then saving the game without it and then reinstall it is the best method although you will loose all content from the pack and it will reset the world. Some people also reported that doing this deleted the lot altogether (like there was no lot to build on anymore afterwards). You do any fixes at your own risk so please make backups.
[HR] Ranch Hand doesn't do any work
Since before the recent patches, my ranch hand spends most of his time using skill items (instruments, easels) or drinking water than tending to my livestock. So much so that my animals regularly threaten to leave and only stay with the intervention of my sims, pretty much defeating the point of a ranch hand. I play an unmodded, cc free game on Mac. I have all the packs except SW:JTB, and some kits.

Sim doesn't interact with others and instead starts dancing/twitching
Since the lovestruck update my sims keep dancing instead of doing any social interaction. They just freeze with other tasks. Except going to the toilet, they just sit there and then freeze. I tried factory resetting, removed all mods, reinstalling the game, with packs, without packs, no mods, with mods; the bug still persists. Build buy mode is normal so far but the game has become completely unplayable because i can't do anything with my sims. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old report
Romantic Relationships among close family members
After most recent patch I noticed the inappropriate romantic relationship among family members (parent/child) bug. See attached showing the character's TEEN SON. Never experienced this bug before but I've heard about it. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ
Time/Sim freezes while environment still moves
This is a very specific bug symptom so please only post here if you see all of the below in your game. There are many similar issues, so this should be kept to this issue only. This can either be an extreme lag or a total freeze. Symptoms in the game Time stand still although there can be a delay where time moves for a but when part of UI is frozen You can't click on anything Sims move but do interactions endlessly Environment moves If you have multiple household members, you can't switch between them. Going to the map in this state can lead to endless loading You can still switch to build mode but only delete one item. Not all households are affected. Unsure what causes it. Unsure/More info needed It start happening at a specific time Computer starts to use up a lot of the resources Not this issue Sims don't respond to commands, standing around doing nothing
EA Advisors not giving me 64-bit?
Hi, I've played Sims 3 for many years, but I have always done it on an older mac, I recently changed to a newer one, and this one therefore can't play 32-bit games. I have Sims 3 in my EA library, but only the 32-bit version, and it of course just crashes immediately when trying to run it. I have been messaging EA Support for a while now, and have talked to multiple of their advisors, they have all said "I did everything on my end now" and other stuff like that, but have made no actual changes. My last conversation with one, he finished with saying he would file a bug report for the game, but still nothing has changed. Does anyone have any clue how to have them give me the 64-bit version? It kind of seems like they themselves don't even know how to. Thank you! :))
Sims wear default underwear/AA shorts when naked
When sims are supposed to be nude or have more revealing clothing the salmon colored (hideous btw) underwear from CAS body edit mode is showing. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title Note from EA_Solaire: Hi all, This issue was fixed for Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims, however it is not a retroactive fix and any previously made Sims will still have clothing visible under their privacy mosaic. While this issue is still being investigated, you can fix this for pre-existing Sims by first uploading your impacted households into the Gallery to save them, deleting the household from your world, then replacing the household in your world from the Gallery. Once you replace them from the Gallery, that will clear up any issues with the privacy mosaic. Note by Crinrict: For PC/Mac users you can use this mod to fix all your already broken Sims with a simple command: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/other-mods-reset-bathing-outfit You can remove the mod after doing so.Can't progress in game because of bug
I've tried to reset cache, which failed, so I uninstalled all add-ons and reinstalled them, cache still won't reset. I've restarted the EA app, restarted my Mac, tried to clear the cache again - still won't download, says there's an instillation error. I'm just trying to access the tower codes in journey to Batuu, I clicked 'retrieve the codes' and since then it's glitched and not let me progress, I've 'spliced' the panel 4 times hoping it'll let me progress but it isn't. I also clicked for technical support within the game but it leads to an internal error page. Been trying to rectify this for 2 and a half hours now, please help
