Hey, I'm having a problem with The Sims 4. After updating, items are disappearing from my inventory. Mods are disabled. I thought the update should fixes bugs, not creates new ones. XD title re-edited by Luth for visibility and clarity Note by crinrict Please use this thread for black photos/blank paintings: Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (1.102.190/1.82) | EA Forums - 11936008Solved36KViews18likes491Comments[HSY] Prom disappears from Calendar
I started a new saved game after the last update, switching between two families with teenagers, and I noticed that the prom disappeared after switching from one family to another. I didn't change any lifespans or anything like that, it simply vanished from the calendar. My teenage Sim received the invitation to the date before the prom, but the prom didn't happen. I also couldn't invite anyone to the prom. Any suggestions on how I can solve this?

When i click adopt the sim just picks uo the dog and puts it down, ive tried on different worlds, loaded games, and new games, different houses etc. so it dosent seem to be a mods issue, this started after the update today. Edit By crinrict: Added pack tag to title.14KViews685likes252CommentsSims' name changed after update, can't fix permanently
After the latest Sims 4 update (or possibly before that I suppose; I hadn't played in a while), some of my married Sims' last names were changed to match their spouse. I hadn't changed them when they got married, and didn't want them changed, and up till now that was fine! But now for instance Mary Jones, married to Tom Smith, has become Mary Smith - but their kids are still Joneses, so it didn't affect everyone. I have edited the affected names in 'manage households', turned on cas.fulledit and changed it there, edited the Sims...it works for one session but as soon as I load the game again they've reverted back. I edit, save, edit, save - it's not sticking permanently. Am I missing some way to fix this? What's going on? Thanks for any help!Solved12KViews1like8Comments[RL] Sims changes Dynasties/Constant message after loading
After tonight’s update (12.05.2026) Sims who doesn’t belong to certain dynasties but have some connection to them keep adding even after I try to manually delete them. It goes on and on. Once I leave one family enter another to fix it, it happens again.

When playing in Henford on Bagley, I noticed that every NPC that comes with the pack (The Grocer, the Mayor, The Garden Stall Owner, The Pub Keeper, and the Creature Keeper) were doubled. Two sims with the job title above their names were appearing around the world. Both sims offered the errands, meaning my sim could complete two rounds of every errand from every NPC. Some of the duplicates were copies of the original NPCs, for example, the mayor, Lavina Chropa, had two versions of Lavina, both listed as Mayor, and both offering the same errands and rewards. Other NPCs had randomized townie versions and the original townies in Cottage Living, for example, the grocer sims were the original Kim Goldbloom, and a randomized townie just with the job title and offering errands. No complication arose from this, it honestly just allowed my sim to do more of the errands, but it does break the immersion a little when every NPC has a twin or is a completely different sim half the time.

There are so many sims now that behave mischievously even though they don't have a single negative trait!!! I hate this so much because I know every interaction can't be perfect but it's so annoying when you leave one of your sims unattended and they are actively sabotaging every relationship - including those with family members. Same with random sims. There are so many of them that do mischievous stuff and make your sims embarrassed or angry randomly. It's just way to common and I don't think sims should behave mischievously unless they have already built a negative relationship with another sim or have the trait like evil or mean (any negative ones). This has been a problem for too long!!😒 PS: I don't use Mods at all. Note by crinrict There's a few threads that are similar so please make sure that you use the correct one for upvoting. Some also need info, so send your saves on those.

Since patch 1.16 I've had a situation like I've never seen before. Usually my game makes one or two new townies every time I play, even if I don't enter a situation where I need them (like going to a resteraunt or something like that). Since the patch I'm getting dozens of new townies just about every time I load the game where my Sims leave their home or not. I have a large NPC population already (mostly my placed Sims and a lot of NPCs that I like scattered throughout the regions) and it's totally starting to impact the game. It's become like a game of whack-a-mole.3.2KViews100likes31Comments
