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 ‘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!!Lovestruck Dating Issue
Last night I was playing with one of my sims and testing out the dating process with the new pack features. I was able to go on a date, but I could not complete the date because the talking tabs were not properly loading-could not meet any of the challenges of the date. Then, I tried doing a friend/group outing at a bar to build some skills, and the game would not load the location. There was an error prompt saying that I needed to restart the game, I did but the game would not open for that particular sim I was playing with. I continued to get the same error in that specific sim in the save file. I could load another sim family in the file and it would work. I was also able to play with the same sim with the issues but I had to load another family first and the error would clear. Is anyone having any error issues with their sima with dates?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.No option to get married or add sim to household
Since installing Lovestruck, I have built my Sims relationship up to full. However, I can't marry my Sims or add the new sim to the household...it doesn't give me either option. My sim recently got divorced, but would that still affect it. I've tried to add other sim friends to the house but there's no option to either. Is this an issue other people are having or is it something to do with just my game? I have no mods installed either.SolvedHow to Transfer Happy at Home Login Reward Items
I have two laptops - one I primarily use for gaming (like the Sims), and the other one for games that don't perform well on the other laptop. Throughout June, I claimed all of the rewards from the Happy at Home event. Last week, the "A" and "S" keys stopped working on my old laptop, which was an issue, because most games I play require those two keys to work. I installed the EA App and Sims 4 on my newer laptop, and since I hadn't gone far into a save on my old one, I started fresh. It was definitely an improvement because I was having 30 seconds to a minute loading screens whereas on my old laptop, it was more 3 to 5 minutes. I was editing the gym in Oasis Springs to add the vending machines from Snowy Escape, High School Years, and Happy at Home, when I noticed I could not find the vending machine from the Happy at Home Event. I checked and none of the items from the event were there. I reinstalled the EA app and the Sims 4 on my old computer, started a new save file (since I deleted the other ones), and the items from the event are still available there. My question is, how then, do I get these items from my old laptop to my new one?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?Game Failing to Load/Error Code
Hi Sims team - I've been playing The Sims 4 since 2015 and have never had any cc or mods installed into my game, so never experience many errors/bugs until I downloaded the Lovestruck Expansion pack. When I go to start up my game and click 'Resume' on the main menu, I get a message stating "The game failed to load. Error Code: xxxxxxxxxx. It is recommended that you relaunch the game." I've repaired my game and restarted my computer multiple times but I am still receiving this error message, with a new Error Code every time. Not sure how to solve here...help :(New Update made my game buggy and unplayable!
I updated my game yesterday with the new update and afterwards my game started being buggy and just unplayable! I can't open the menu with ESC or the 3 dots, so I have to close my game with task manger. Certain tabs won't open (like, relationship, invortey, etc but needs tab opens). My child sims profile thing is stuck at the parenthood bit and wont move. Buildmode stuck pause but still in livemode and opening CAS is just met with a black screen. I tried repairing my game yesterday and the same still happen but today I can't repair my game, I get no loading bar or a normal thing you see when trying to repair a game. I thought it could be my laptop cause it old but I did some reading and realize I'm not the only one with a SUPER buggy game after recent update. Sims team please check what happening and fix the game!! Also maybe try doing some test before releasing an update, yea? (pls dont my spelling XDD)July 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 😑.
