"Requires Get To Work" to access all saves
Playing via EA Launcher, Windows 11 on PC. I have all major content except Batuu, don't have some kits. Upon launching today, I got a notice that a pack was downloading. I have no new content (but have pre-purchased the horse pack) so I assumed it may have been an update. I had the option to play during download but there was an issue. I have about 60 saves; all but the two oldest (from April 2021 and October 2019) have listed underneath "requires Get to Work." The game shows that I own and have installed G2W ("you already own this pack"). I've had it since release. The game says that if I attempt to load any of these saves, they will be corrupted, unplayable, and unrecoverable. I have restarted the launcher three times (by exiting via the menu) and the error persists. Edit: I tried making a new save and all I have is Base Game content, although it's acknowledged that I own all the other content I've purchased and played with within the last 24 hours. .Solved1.5KViews0likes6CommentsMy Sims 4 screen turns black after loading?

Since moving from Origin to the EA app I’ve lost the ability to repair my game and it needs it badly. I purchased my game through Stream so I’m thinking maybe that’s the issue, but I don't really know. I’ve tried reinstalling my whole entire game and all the packs but that didn’t help. Is anyone else having this issue?SolvedHi simmers!

I'm wanting to buy a new laptop after having my old one for over 10+ years (put it this way it's hanging on by a thread on windows 7) 🥴 the trouble is I don't have a single clue about the newer laptops, I'm just looking for a good one that runs pretty well, with preferably good graphics. I will be playing the Sims 4 on it more or less all the time. I've had a look around at gaming laptops but it's fuzzed my head as the reviews have both good and bad on them, I've looked on these questions and seen the gigabyte laptop and it's on offer ATM for about 899, which wouldn't be out of price range, but someone said theirs didn't work properly at all. If anyone could please help and dumb it down so a simpleton like me can understand I'd greatly appreciate it 😂🙏SolvedPixelated graphics after january 2025 update despite ultra settings
My game automatically updated yesterday, and there's an issue i can't resolve. I have a ROG STRIX G614JV_G614JV and use NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. I've always had my game on the highest graphics settings, edge smoothing and post-processing turned off as i use gshade shaders. I've never had any issues with quality. My laptop screen resolution is also set to highest. I've noticed that the entire game has significantly dropped in quality. The whole game is somewhat pixelized, the UI, the textures on cas and build items, terrain, you name it. Even custom content looks terrible. I thought it was in my head, but screenshots made it obvious something wasn't right. I even tried upscaling with SRWE to see how the pictures would look, you guessed it - totally pixelized. I attached a dxdiag along with two screenshots. I know some of you might think these look completely fine, but i promise you they don't compared tot he quality i'm used to. I play several times a week and i'm 100% confident the quality dropped. These are all the fixes i tried, and still no luck: -removed all my mods and custom content. -removed my packs. -made sure ts4 is using the NVDIA card and not integrated graphics. -turned on edge smoothing and post-processing (then off again, played with the settings many times to see if anything would work) -disabled gshade. -checked integrity of files in steam. -tried to launch in dx9 and dx11. -deleted localthumbcache and options.ini -uninstalled then reinstalled the sims app. -updated my graphics driver and ran a system bios update. -restarted my laptop. -tried launching through EA instead of Steam. Honestly, I've ran out of ideas. I'm not sure what's wrong with the game, and I haven't found any other thread on here or on reddit talking about it. I'd be so grateful if anyone has ANY idea on how to fix this. thanks!514Views0likes17Commentspattern on tv and glass and other objects

Last night I was playing sims, just as normal and today when I went to launch the game, I was met with "Error, The system cannot find the file specified". A few days ago, I installed a few mods but they weren't accepted by the game so I just ignored them. I tried deleting everything from my mod folder, and nothing works. I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue to this, any advice on what to do? I'd prefer not to uninstall my game because the progress won't save over unless its in my library. EDIT: It seems that a ton of people are having the exact same issue. I sat down with a friend for a good couple of hours and tried troubleshooting everything. I uninstalled things, reinstalled things, cleared my cashe, checked on any bloatware. Nothing fixed it. I ended up just having to uninstall and reinstall it, but it hasn't finished yet. Someone else said they did this, but they ended up having the same issue a few days later.Solved14KViews4likes97CommentsLaptop Spec for Sims 4

Overview jump to: I have the CAS Demo installed jump to: I don't have the Demo or I'm not sure whether I do jump to: I have a Steam or Epic install jump to: I'm lost/please help There is currently an issue with Sims 4 where newly installed packs won't load in-game. The cause is that the EA App installs these packs into the wrong folder. The App shows the affected packs as installed, but the game doesn't read their data. The most common cause is having the Sims 4 CAS Demo installed, but this can also happen if a computer somehow has two copies of Sims 4 itself installed. In both cases, the game is running from one folder but the pack data is in the other. The fix is to find the folder where the packs are being installed, remove or rename this folder, clear the EA App's cache, and download the missing packs again. I have the CAS Demo installed If you have the CAS Demo installed, it will likely be here: Look inside the folder for your missing packs, for example in this case, EP13 (Growing Together) and SP16 (Tiny Living) are installed into this folder: The quick fix, which works at least some of the time, is to move these folders into the folder for the Sims 4's program files. You can find the proper file location within the EA App: open your library, click the Sims 4 icon, select Manage > View properties, and you'll see the file path. The pack folders, in this case EP13 and SP16 , need to go inside this Sims 4 folder; you can simply drag and drop them, or cut and paste. Once you've moved the folders, clear the EA App's cache and repair the game: open your game library, click the Sims 4 icon, and select Manage > Repair. Then load the game and see whether the affected packs load. If this doesn't help, you can rename the CAS Demo folder; any new name or additional characters should suffice. Or, if you have no use for the CAS Demo anymore, you can simply uninstall it through the Windows control panel or Start menu. If you get an error when trying to uninstall the Demo, restart your computer. Alternately, open the Task Manager, find the EABackgroundService in the background processes list, right-click its name, and select End Task, then try again. If you've already moved the packs' folders to the proper Sims 4 folder and it didn't work, it's best to delete these, clear the EA App's cache, and download fresh copies. You can download them through Manage > Manage Add-ons. ↑ I don't have the CAS Demo/I'm not sure If you don't have the CAS Demo installed, or you're not sure whether you do, you can run a search for the missing pack(s). Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, then enter the name of the folder for an affected pack in the search field in the upper-right corner. (See this article for a full list of pack folder names.) For example, if Growing Together isn't loading in-game, search for EP13: You can see here that the folder is inside the CAS Demo folder, but you may also find that you have two "The Sims 4" folders for other reasons; these guidelines apply in any case. You'll also see a folder inside __Installer\DLC, usually a folder inside Delta, and perhaps other files if the pack includes a new world. These can be ignored; the only result that matters is the one directly inside a folder with "Sims 4" in the name, as underlined in red. In contrast, this is the result when searching for a properly-installed pack, in this case EP05 (Seasons): Once you locate the folders for the missing packs, you can try moving them to the proper location, i.e. the location the EA App lists for the game's program files. Clear the EA App's cache and repair the game afterwards. You can find it by opening your game library, clicking the Sims 4 icon, and selecting Manage > View properties: If this doesn't fix the issue, you can rename or uninstall the CAS Demo, if you have it, or delete the secondary folder. (If you get an error, restart your computer, or open the Task Manager and kill the EABackgroundService.) If this doesn't help either, you may need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of all Sims 4 content, minus your user folder, as well as the EA App. ↑ I have a Steam or Epic install If you've installed Sims 4 through Steam or Epic, but you at some point installed the game through the EA App, the App may be installing packs into an old Sims 4 folder rather than the one that Steam or Epic uses. Here again, the first step is to search for one of your missing packs. Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, then enter the name of the folder for an affected pack in the search field in the upper-right corner. (See this article for a full list of pack folder names.) For example, if Growing Together isn't loading in-game, search for EP13: The only thing that matters here is the EP13 folder installed directly inside "The Sims 4": this is the pack itself, and it needs to be in the same location as the rest of the game data. You can see that above, however, EP13 itself is installed into an EA Games folder, even though other folders labeled EP13 are inside Delta and __Installer within the Steam install's folder. The fix here is to delete the "The Sims 4" folder inside C:\Program Files\EA Games, or wherever that extra folder is. (If you can't delete it, restart your computer, and make sure the EA App and EABackgroundService are NOT running in the Task Manager.) Then clear the EA App's cache, restart your computer, and install only the affected packs, not the base game, through the EA App. If this doesn't help, you'll need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Sims 4 and the EA App. Please see here for more details. ↑ I'm lost/please help If the above doesn't help, please see the accepted solution of this thread, which should appear immediately below this post. You can also run a search for one or two missing packs, as described above, and post screenshots of the results in this thread. If you do this, be sure to list the packs that aren't working and those, if any, that do show up in-game. ↑Solved52KViews16likes924Comments
