Sims 4 still broken after update 2024-07-23
Hello So even if there are 2 updates that has come out after july 23rd my game is still broken, I need to save almost every 2-3 minutes because suddenly only in-game interactions work - The bars at the right don't work, my sims work assignment don't work (I had a sim on the influencer careed and I made the work assignment 4 times in a row and it never updated - haven't tried it again but it was a frustration. When the interactions stop working I tried go inte build mode but I couldn't build anything and I couldn't change back to playmode - the only option is to terminate the game the hard way and start over. Are there any plans to fix the broken game? Because it is essentially unplayable - at least for enjoying the game - being paranoid and save every interaction because you know it will break at any moment isn't okey - sure we have had crash issues before but at least that is not this freakvent - I have played for about 30 minutes and I've had the interactions stop working 3-4 times so I had to redo most of the game several times. Right now I have a sim (child) which is suppose to age up - a bit scared I must admit :) I do have mods but I did uninstall them to see if the issue was fixed and it was not... and I have read multiple people have the same issue without mods ever installed. Writing here in hopes of getting more attention to the broken update that really needs to be fixed plus to see if any has any better experience and what they did....SolvedJuly 23 update ruined my game
i don't know what to do, from one point the game looks like it's working while in CAS or build mode, but when I want to start playing with sims, they don't respond to anything and just stand in place and don't react or do anything but their emotion bar (happiness, hunger ect.) goes down, I tried rebuging them and repairing the game, but they are still unresponsive, so it's kinda unplayable. So really waiting for another update to fix these issues 😑.Save game error 0 and can't pay/don't receive bills
I've been playing a couple of saves and on both I get one bill, I can't pay it and I never get another one after that initial one. It's nice to not get bills but it's also a part of the game... I also seem to be having issues with the save game error 0. It seems to start up after my sims have an infant in the two saves I've played. The game saves fine up until this point and after about an in sim day of having an infant I can't save... using Save As is still working but it is very annoying to have to do this I have tried all the fixes, going to another lot, updating mods, removing mods, (I know mods cause issues after an update) allowing anti virus to not block some files, allowing DX11, deleting cache, repairing the game... the errors consist with and without mods. Anyone else having these two issues? It makes the game unplayableJuly ‘24 Update & Lovestruck EP Issue
Updated my game on 7/23 per usual. I do NOT use mods or cc. My game loads and plays fine. I cannot access anything though.. aspiration, skills, relationships or needs..they won’t open. I also cannot save my game at all. CAS has no save option. I downloaded the new EP 7/25 hoping it would help the issue. Nope. I loaded a current game save and same issues and noted above. I tried staring a new game..cannot save AT ALL!! I am never one to complain or get upset over this but EA, come on!!! I played my game successfully 7/22. Your forced update and releasing an expansion pack after a failed update is not okay! Please assist us and get a patch out asap! Many of us have paid hundreds of dollars on this game. Thousands across decades on the franchise. Seriously!!Mean Sims
I can't make any relationships after the new update. All the sims just want to be mean to each other or fight one another. Even the sims that were already married in the game are fighting with each other. 😠I played this morning and didn't have this problem. My game froze and i just had to manually shut the sims down without saving, now that's fixed. I really hope they get the "Mean" & " Angry" under control before the "Love" pack comes out or its going to be completely useless. ðŸ˜SolvedApartment and university housing Doors issue
I know that since for rent has come out that the game makers have made it so that apartment doors don’t go down when you have your walls down but i absolutely 100% HATE it. It has ruined all city living and university gameplay for me mainly because I feel like they are in the way sometimes and they are just an eyesore and a pain to try and look around and now I feel like I wasted my money buying them in the past when they came out. I know that in the old forums there was a lot of people dealing with this issue that felt the same way and by a lot of people I mean hundreds and yes I know I could get the TOOLS mod and just shrink my doors and I’m sorry to anyone that might think that it is a viable solution for what I’m about to say but I personally think that it is a stupid solution to a problem that EA needs to fix so if you are also having this problem please do what you have to do to get EA to notice this and don’t just push it to the side like it isn’t important because to me it is and I know it is to a lot of other people too!!.SolvedGame crashes when sim travels to Darby's Den?
My sim just started at Britechester, but when I try to have her travel to Darby's Den, the game crashes. Afterwards, when I hover on her in worldview, she is located in her dorm but her location is listed as "Darby's Den". Trying to play her leads to another game crash. When I look at the Darby's Den lot in world view, it says "Ubrite Commons - incomplete" with an orange flag above it. I don't have any mods downloaded, and I've tried "repair game" , deleting my Sim4 folder, and loading earlier save files, to no avail. The only thing I can think of is that I had recently used the cas.fulleditmode cheat to change one of her traits. That's the only cheat I've used recently, and I don't think it's supposed to be game breaking.. Any help would be super appreciated! (Darby's Den has a third lot trait in the screenshot because I wanted to see if editing the lot would fix the issue. It didn't)SolvedCannot complete Canto Bight "Heist" Batuu mission
I cannot complete "The Heist" Mission on the Batuu Scoundrel Mission List PC/Win10 This mission requires you to recruit at least one Sim to assist with the Canto Bight heist- I go to the Cantina and speak to Hondo. I recruit at least 3 scoundrels (after 30 min of chatting, sabaac, etc) and head over to the Falcon. I also make sure my droid is deployed and in follow mode. Instead of taking off, we all hang out around the entrance of the falcon but the ship never takes off. After the mission timer elapses nothing happens. The NPC's either run back to the Cantina or disappear. I even tried adding them to a 'group' before proceeding and that didn't work either. I saw a previous thread that said you have to recruit Chewbacca first but I watched a Youtube playthrough and that was not the case. I ran the repair prompt on the EA home page and I'm not running any mods or pirated software whatsoever and the issue persists. Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?7/29/2024
My game is still broken. I’ve deleted my local thumb cache, moved my Mods, updated the mods, went through my entire cc folder and updated that. I found that game play completely vanilla is decent but not perfect. In the vanilla save it’s smoother moving through loading screens, the UI isn’t glitching, which is great but I’m a player that likes cc and mods. As much joy I found it wasn’t my main save file with mods and cc. I don’t want to be forced to play like that, so I put my cc back (no mods), the game had a weird glitching ui when you open the game and go to its gallery. Clicking around and messing with the gallery it seemed to correct itself. I first go to the vanilla save file and play there and nothing is wrong. The ui is responding, it’s not lagging, but I’m spamming the save button almost every interaction. I nervously go to my main save with cc sims. In that save file I send them on vacay. I noticed multiple times I would get a notice about paying my bills and having 0 hours to pay, but when I check the phone or mail box I don’t see an option to pay. Then my sims were paid from their jobs often, it seemed to me twice a sim day? But regardless the game is handling itself okay. I placed a bunch of new lots in Sulani prior and that didn’t break my game like when the patches came out. Until I get home with a newly aged teen sim, I go to make over her room, and I didn’t run into a issue where I go to build something and my cursor is stuck on the item. I can’t sell it, change it to another item. To get unstuck I have to constantly switch between build and live mode. That became relevant when I tired to fix another part of the house, placing collectibles on an accent table. But I can’t move the items without it disappearing, can’t sell, can’t do anything. Until it freezes between switching between build and live. I panic and go to save ands now it’s been at least 20 minutes staring at the saving icon. Thank god I had the sense to save a few sim minutes earlier because I’m paranoid. P.s. I don’t know if this helps but I’ve seen a lot of creators with a Mac and I don’t have one. It’s a Alienware gaming laptop. I also updated my game to that directX 11 a while back too.Can't use Lovestruck pack and features
*lessons appear after loading game. If you learn more and exit out the game is frozen, even forced exit doesnt work and a full shut down of PC is required. If you dismiss them, game continues. 1. Can not view Ciudad Enamorada. From either new save file exiting create a sim. Or manage worlds without a sim, or with an existing sim travelling using the phone. The screen is white and world button does not function. Have to leave by exit to main menu. 2.Cupids corner will not open. Can go on blind date. Can go to counseling Can deactivate *married sims already have cupids corner, have never setup a profile. I don't know if this is correct or not
