Exceptions Issue
Hello! I have better exceptions in my game and it keeps popping up this exception every 5 minutes: Possible Cause: picker_interaction Reason: Exception during call to test method on <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.autonomous_bookshelf_read_picker_HungryForLove'> (TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable) I do use mods, but I have gone through all of them and made sure they were updated. I am not quite sure how to fix the exception. I have restarted my computer and restarted the game, tried ignoring the exception, and still it persists. It doesn't tell me what the exact problem is, and I can't make sense of the reason.
Freezing/crashing
Hello, this is my first post here so I apologize if I do anything wrong. My game has been crashing (particularly in build-mode but also outside of it) and/or freezing since I downloaded the nursery kit last year. I use some basic mods (primarily **bleep**), but even turning them off doesn't seem to help at this point. They've been inactive/turned off in game for months. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game entirely, and this also didn't help. I use an NVIDIA driver and always have, and recently installed a different, earlier version in an attempt to fix my issue. It did not. I have searched through the sims 4 discord as well as various forums, EA-run and otherwise, and none of the solutions offered have helped. I have tried everything I've been able to understand. At this point, I can play maybe 5 minutes if I'm lucky. It's been about a year now that this has been happening. I keep up with updates, and repair the game/packs regularly. I'm very frustrated because I've spent a lot of money on this game, and I've had it since it came out. I got the first pets pack on disc I've been playing for so long. I don't know what to do, and I'd really appreciate some help/suggestions on how to fix my game. Thank you.I have been having a crashing problem in my game
Hello My game has been crashing when I opened my save file that I am working on. Every 2 hours or so the game will crash and if I hit manage worlds from a lot without saving the game has a high chance of crashing. I removed all my mods and only had twisted maxis exceptions mod to check for the issue and even with no other mods in my folder. I have attached my last exceptions txt in this post and Im wondering if anyone knows what to do. I am a Mac user
Missing link in family tree
I have a problem with two Sims. They are related (mother and daugther) but they do not appear on each other family tree. All the other relationships, including the one between the mom and her son, are shown on my Sims family trees, so, I do not understand why this specific link is missing. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Note that I am playing with some CCs, and the MCCC but I doubt this is the cause of my issue.

I am having exactly this weirdly specific issue, right down to the being able to go into build mode but not do very much. Can't switch between household or save or quit without endless loading screen. Has happened to me twice now in different bars/clubs so wondered if it was a glitched townie. Only with this household so far. Playing on a new macbook with lots of RAM/storage. I do have a couple of mods (Mccc and lumpinou) but they've been updated regularly and never given me any problems before, ive been playing very regularly since the last update. The one thing which changed lately is i just bought life and death a few days ago, right before it first happened and it was odd that someone in the comments mentioned life and death.
My Sims Suggestions....
Hello! I just wanted to share my random thoughts on what I think a "perfect" Sims game would have. This is more so realistic add ins. I don't really touch base on fantasy things like vampires, werewolf's etc. All in all, I think the concepts in The Sims 4 are great.... but let's not deny the truth. The gameplay is trash. This game really could've been something amazing!!! Also, at the price of the packs.... to have them all basically ya know, not work, is ridiculous. I would have absolutely no problem paying these prices for a game that ACTUALLY worked, and with awesome game play!! I don't mind adding CC like furniture, or clothes and hair. But I should not have to download tons of mods just to enjoy playing this game. Anyways.... - The graphics of Sims 4 (to me) is the best. But with the game play of Sims 2 mixed with Sims 3 would be superior. - Do not do online game play.... PLEASE. - Please bring back cars. Even if you cant drive them! I loved placing them in the driveways. I feel like your car adds to the story line of the Sim. - Babies/Infants/Toddlers need more items. As in actual realistic items. Walkers, strollers, things for twins or multiple kids (double strollers), swings to calm them, floats for them in the pool, being able to go for a walk with a toddler like maybe pushing an infant in the stroller, while your toddler walks in front of you, or while holding another baby in a holder. WAY more hair, shoes and clothing options!! Would also be nice if they had more interactions. Ex: Toddlers being able to play "tag" with other toddlers, or a toddler who isn't being watched starts coloring on the walls... hahaha - PLEASE bring back the Sims 3 genetic system. Why are my two black Sims giving birth to a white baby??? - Playable animals. Never do it how you did for Sim 4 ever again lol and if you do... don't even make them count towards my household! Also - bring back the genetics system for the animals as well. - For the love of god.... fix the phone. Why is my husband calling me on my cell phone while he's asleep in bed? Why is my newborn trying to scam me over the phone!? - Make seasons selectable per world. Ex: if I'm in a beach world, and use it mainly for beach vacations / rentals I want the season to stay summer 24/7 in that town! - I actually like the feature of teens getting acne, and Sims being able to grow beards etc, but I also wish that they could break legs, and arms lol especially the kids! Going to football practice while not focused could cause them to be more likely to get a concussion or come home with a broken arm. - More jobs. Please. Especially things that are widely used everywhere.... like a dentist. Also signing up kids/teens for braces would be cool! OBGYNs, Social Worker, Realtor, Military (different branches), Reporter, Farmer, Preacher, Truck Driver, Garbage Man, Baker, Banker, Daycare Teacher, Nanny, Dance Teacher, Art Teacher, Professional Dancer, Librarian, etc. Having Internships during or after college would also be cool. - More afterschool activities for kids AND teens (that you can customize the schedule for!!) Ex: football, baseball, soccer, cheerleading, wrestling, tennis, hockey, dance (would be cool if you could select the type of dance within like jazz, pointe, or tap etc), band, school year book, school journalism, weightlifting, gymnastics, lacrosse. I don't even want them to be playable obviously, but just more options with be nice. Especially if you can practice them at home like how you could have a ballet bar in Sims 3 (or 2 I don't remember) and how you can practice on a cheer mat in Sims 4! I just find it odd how theirs like 4 afterschool activities but yet there is 500000 different books you can buy and read?? - Private schools like the Sims 2!! That was fun to me!! Also boarding schools as well was nice and added to the storyline of the Sims. Being able to send you "troubled" child to a military boarding school lol - Being able to walk a dog as a kid (and up) + being able to walk at least two at once! - Opened worlds like the Sims 3 was the mooooovvvveee for sure! I absolutely loved it. But would be cool if you could turn that off in the settings like if your computer couldn't handle that??? Idk if that's even possible but just an idea. - Some Sims 4 actives def need to come with the next game. Archery, horseback riding (please let kids do this and all the actives!), kayaking, the boats (and like Sims 3). I love how the toddlers can play in the water lol - For the love of god fix the family tree first and foremost. Why do my grandparents not really act like it? Why do I not know that's my Uncle, or my Step-Dad? Please get it together Sims team. - Bring back the real music!!!!! I loved hearing a Sims version of Beyonce and Luke Bryan hahahaha that was hilarious!!!! - Being able to "segregate" Sims would be nice. STAY WITH ME HERE LOL! I mean as in I don't want fairies etc in towns unless I want them there..... sometimes I like for certain worlds to just stay within their "theme". - Why do townies look like that. Be so f*cking for real guys. - I would love love love love a true royalty pack! I'd actually prefer for it to be an entirely different game. Think Sims Medieval but wayyyyyyy more interactive. I hated that you only could play in quests, and there wasn't much customizing? I'd love to be able to actually dictate how my village ends up etc. when one Sims dies it changes the monarchy etc. - I don't know the mechanics behind this and if it would mess up the game somehow but I would love to be able to make an entire world from scratch. As in EVERYTHING. Like Sims 3 but more.... I want to be able to pick out every single one of the people who work in the grocery stores, the library, the principles at the schools... everyone! - Bring back things like the earth quakes etc and fire fighters!! That was a cool career. - If you do make playable careers please do the dental field, and fire fighters again. I also think it would be cool to actually assign SAHMs! And they can have everyday tasks to complete or something. - If you're going to add in nannies please make it to where I can customize when they're coming and the times. I hated having to hire one each and every time. I want them to just show up when they know I'm about to go to work - or just because I want the extra help daily! It would also be nice if you could tell the nanny your preference, if you'd want them to be strict, or more like gentle parenting. - If you're going to do a crossover addiction like how you did with Katy Perry, IKEA, and Sponge Bob... can we please have something more so like.... Harry Potter? ESPECIALLY if we already have a supernatural pack at that point. Just plz give me a Harry Potter world and Hogwarts lol. - I truly think if you're going to allow a Sims to have twins / triplets then you need to provide twin/triplets items. Like a stroller that fits 3. Or even special achievements or traits that multiples can have. like successfully fooling your school for switching for the day lol or a "twin telepathy" trait. Where if your twin is sad, the other one can sense it and it affects their mood a little bit as well! - More, more, more, more, and more personality traits. I also loved the zodiac sign they used to have! - Why do my teens look exactly like a young adult? Why do they not have a lot of their own type of aspirations? Why does a young adult look like an adult? - Small animals like a bunny cage, hamsters, snakes, lizards, ferrets, guinea pigs etc - I think it would be cool if how you lived life in your adulthood affected your elder sims directly. Ex: a Sim who never ever worked out is less likely to have good posture, not live as long, and have high chances of health complications. Something along those lines. - I LOVE the addition of free weights, and the spin bike we got with Adventure Awaits! - Being able to qualify for assistance like food stamps, Medicaid etc would also be kinda "cool". I just think it would add to storylines well! I also think you should have to buy phones. If I want to do like a rags to riches story, why does my Sims automatically have access to a iPhone lol - I LOVEEEE the walking trails within Sims 4 Growing Together pack (I think?). But whenever you add features like this.... can you please go back and add it into pervious worlds as well? I would love to be able to power walk in any world. Not just the one that came with the pack. Same with things like the park. Whenever you add in new kids playground things or water park toys etc, before selling us the game and updating the game, please go in and edit the parks to reflect some of the new items. Or once you added the ac/heating and the burglar alarm why didn't you go in and add it to every single base game home, or even just the ones that made sense to have it? It feels.... lazy af to not. - Back to seasons. I love the holiday thing! Very cute. However, I hate if I'm playing with one household during Winter, and I switch to another one and it changes to spring, why is my winter decorations in the previous house still there? I think it should automatically updated all the homes if you have a pre-set decorations, or the decoration box on the lot. (that way if you have a Sims who's a Gump and hates kids, that specific house wouldn't be decked out automatically for Christmas, or Halloween!). Also, I think it would be nice to save your house with holiday presets. So every time you decorate for Easter, it automatically could decorate the entire house (inside included) how you previously set it up! - Sims University could also be better. More athletics, I think theirs a reasonable amount of degrees, better sorority systems, better dorms, more parties, more traits that you can only get by certain things you do in college. Having your child have random thoughts of like "thinking about going to _____ like my dad". - Summers for kids/teens. Especially if you can send them off to camp! That would be cool. It would also be nice for kids/teens to have summer specific jobs! Pet sitting, baby sitting, lemonade stand, stablehand, lifeguard, dog walker, lawn mower, paper route etc. - For each pack you add there needs to be at least two jobs added. That's just my opinion! If you add in Cats & Dogs, that should've automatically came with a veterinarian job, and a dog walking part time job at LEAST. The Horse Ranch pack should've came with a horse trainer job, stable hand job, and a large animal veterinarian job. Back to improving each pack when you add a new pack - the Horse Ranch pack should've also updated the veterinarian job. Adding in large animals for house calls or something. Also adding in horse trails into multiple worlds, not just one. - You should be able to adopt teens. - When you get food from the fridge, you should automatically be given the leftovers that are appropriate to the time of day. Why is my Sim eating a rack of ribs before school. - This is random but I loved the take out options in Sims 2/3. Like ordering takeout Chinese! - Being able to send your kids/teens off to do something with friends. Like the movies, bowling, go for a walk, gossip at a coffee shop, walk around the mall, hangout with boyfriend/girlfriend, go to a water park. Really anything that just gets them out of the house for a couple hours. These are just some of my suggestions! I know there are mods for some of these but like I said, we shouldn't have to mod the game just for it to be enjoyable!
My sims disappeared?
I took like 2 whole months to make these 2 characters from a show I love, tried my best to make them look and behave canonically and when I tried to house them weeks later, they were gone. When making them, I saved each step I took because this wasn't the first time this had happened. Therefore, that can't be the problem. I'm also 100% sure they were saved because they appear on the “cover” of my game and have the same last name as the family I previously placed them in to make sure they were safe from being discarded. So, how do I find them? I've looked in every world I own, every household, I cannot find them. Are they truly gone? If it helps: I play on an HP all-in-one PC, I got it brand new about 3y ago, and I also have some mods installed but my Sims 4 is completely up-to-date and running well if you ignore this issue that I've had for months. (I apologize if this doesn't make sense or adhere to a required format; I have never written one of these before.)
