Cannot Load Home Lot
So, I play with mods; I've done everything. I've done the 50/50 method; no results. I've cleared my cache; no results. I've removed all mods (down to CC) and tried loading it; no results. The issue? I cannot load the lot my family is living on. I started having infinite loading screens/crashes about 2 weeks ago in this save file; all my mods were up to date after the most recent update. It was working fine; I could play my Sims on their home lot with no problem. They travelled to a bar, I played there no problem, then I saved, and it crashed. I was frustrated but tried again; similar situation, it crashed. I loaded an earlier save when one of my Sims was at Willow Creek Hospital, and could play as her no problem, but when trying to switch to my other sim who was at the home lot/ or trying to send the sim home after, infinite loading screen. I've moved them to empty lots in other worlds, and they load into those fine, but this one lot (in San Sequoia) won't load under any circumstances. I've looked on Reddit, the forums, Facebook, everywhere possible for an answer - I really don't want this to be a corrupt save file situation because everything else about the file seems fine, but I worked hard on the house and want to download it and move it to a different lot if the lot itself is just a corrupt lot. It's a regular household lot. I have mods (they are all up to date, but have been taken out for now); I've repaired my game, uninstalled/reinstalled, updated drivers, loaded earlier files, moved the Sims before trying to enter build mode on that lot (through Manage Worlds), and NOTHING is working. TLDR: My Sims house lot won't load, can't figure out why, and I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. If anyone can help or direct me to somewhere that can, it would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: I was frustrated trying to figure out the problem, so I ended up deleting the save files and going back to a previous save file that allowed me to load into my household. Here's the issue: while playing, I was able to travel, save, build, etc, no problem! But now, I tried to open my game again, and the same issue is happening. Keep in mind, the only changes I've made are restarting from an earlier save point (lost about 4 Sims days) and then exiting my game.
ominous sim voices?
in live mode, when my game is unpaused, I sometimes hear voices of sims that aren't mine. they're usually flirty/excited/generally talkative, and I know the voices aren't coming from my sims. I gave my sims different pitches (helps me differentiate those "other voices" from my sims) to see if the audio simply wasn't synced up or something, but no, the voices aren't theirs. Also, when I zoom out, my sims get quieter, but the other ominous voices are just as loud no matter how far i scroll. I don't THINK it's an issue with mods, but it might be. I tried googling/asking around and the only other mention of a problem similar to this came from a sims 3 mod aaages ago. not sure what to do. one more thing: the voices are more prevalent in san myshuno. I don't know if that helps or how to tag this:( so i am tagging it as lag. sorry.
game loads up then crashes after a few minutes
Hi y'all, Everytime i load up my game, it freezes then crashes. I have tried the spilt and check menthod and sometimes it crashes and sometimes it doesn't but it doesn't seem to be a specific mod causing the issue, it just crashes sooner with more mods and cc. please please help i've been trying everything for over two weeks. i've repaired the game, uninstalled and reinstalled. my only two options left are to delete and redownload all mods and cc which numbers in the thousuands so that would take weeks, or starting a new save which would take atleast a week inbetwwen building and cas. i get a crash report but i can't make sense of it. please i'm open to any suggestions at this point. :) sincerly, a very frustrated and discouraged simmer
Game Not Saving
Hello everyone! I a having an issue with my game where I go in, play, go to Manage worlds, and come back to my original household and nothing is saved. No jobs, no actions on what they were doing. Back to their default when I created the save file. I have updated all of my mods and repaired my game twice and it's still not working. Anyone have any idea on what I should do?Infant won't stop morphing randomly
I've noticed since this recent patch update my infant will randomly morph I just started keeping track of how often this happens and these screenshots are 1 sim day apart. I tried to include the interaction and mood of the infant. It's not super frustrating but I have noticed this only showed up after the recent patch I have never had this issue before. I'm not sure if it helps to know he unlocked the sit up milestone.How to play employed sim from different household Businesses and Hobbies
I have two households. Household A owns a business and employed a sim from Household B. When I play with Household B, I can’t find a way for a sim who’s an employee to go to work. I’ve tried to do that by playing with Household B and visiting the business lot, then controlling business owner with control any sim mod and trying to open the business but the business panel was empty so this didn’t work out. I’m assuming the only way I can play the employee sim and for him to be able to go to work is to play Household A, open the business and control the employee. But I was wondering if there’s any other way? Moving employee to household A isn’t an option.No save files will load
Since the update on 12/5/26 none of my saves will load, will just take me back to world map after trying to load for 5 minutes. I have repaired all mods, removed mod file and tried to load (still nothing) repaired game in the EA app and still nothing. I've ran plumbuddy and removed any duplicate mods and anything that's out of date. I'm scared to clear cache in case I lose all saved files, and a save I've had for years with multiple generation.Unable to load households - Mac OS 15.7.5
Hello everyone, I can't load any households into my game. The last time I played was in June 2025. I tried restarting the game in March 2026 (after installing the latest update) and encountered this problem. I gave up, thinking I'd try again after a future update. So I started trying again a few days ago, and the problem persists. I can access the world, but I can't load any household. I've tried: launching without my mods -> same problem launching with a "new" Sims 4 file (after moving the previous one), then restoring Saves and Tray -> same problem launching the game without Saves and Tray -> the newly created household loads correctly. I therefore conclude that the problem stems from my save file, but why? Everything was working fine the last time I played, in June 2025. Is there any way to fix this? I tried using the few older save files the game offered, but it didn't change anything. If necessary, I should also be able to find older save files on an external hard drive. Thanks in advance for your help. NB : During my multiple attempts, I ended up once with a "lastexception" file, which you will find attached.
Anyone else having major interaction issues with infants/toddlers?
Sims need to "give bath" and "potty train" twice, then cancel the first order before the sim actually does it. General infant interactions seem to break constantly, I have to Shift + Click -> "Reset Object (Debug)" the sim and infant at least once every two to three in-game days, because the sim that was interacting with the infant is now stuck in limbo and can not do anything. Toddlers have been broken for years now but most of the issues seem to have been fixed. Infants, however, are an absolute pain to deal with.
