Drag No Longer Working for several objects
With the New Update and Patch fix the Drag to Trash and Sink interaction is NOT working. A very important tool considering that sims tend to be extremely messy and not clean up after themselves. Diapers will likely not drag to trash either. Certainly hope they get on this ASAP. No Mods or CC are enabled as i do not use them. Testing cheats is enabled but to no avail. Resetting sim does not work for it has nothing to do with the individual Sim. Edit by crinrict: Adjusted title to make more general Update: Hey all, The team is aware of and investigating this issue as we speak and we hope to have a fix for this released soon, please keep an eye out for any further updates in this thread. - EA_Cade45KViews2215likes640Comments

Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (after 1.102.190/1.82)
Please use the following threads if you still have issues. Black Photos (Patch 1.119.109) | EA Forums - 12878373 Paintings go white after putting them in inventory/Reloading game (1.119.109) | EA Forums - 12879032 My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. EDIT by crinrict The photos get removed from your save game with this bug. There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.55KViews1559likes574Comments
Mixologist behind bar, but not tending it, unavailable for orders
Since the latest patch (Feb/2025), I’ve noticed mixologists aren’t readily interactable in community lots like bars and clubs. The bug seems to work like this: go to a community lot with a bar there’s a mixologist in the lot as you arrive try to order food or a drink the mixologist won’t fulfill your order, and will either stay behind the bar performing tricks or get into a conversation with townies and sit on barstools (if available) In the end, the result is that the mixologist won’t be available to take orders, despite being flagged as a service Sim (with their function in red font above their name). After a few Sim-hours, the bugged mixologist might get a thought balloon with the bar inside and resume their function correctly, but more often than not they’ll stay stuck in the 5/6 step above. The thought balloon might appear several times in a minute, without the mixologist resuming tending the bar and being available for orders. A workaround for this is to use resetSim on the mixologist if they get stuck in 5/6; doing so will reset all the Sims around the bar — understandable if the mixologist on step 6, but it also happens in 5. Occasionally the mixologist will be present, but unavailable as you arrive on the lot and stay that way until either you use resetSim or their shift ends, in which case a new mixologist will arrive and correctly tend to the bar and take orders.13KViews1050likes135Comments

Sims wear default underwear/AA shorts when naked
When sims are supposed to be nude or have more revealing clothing the salmon colored (hideous btw) underwear from CAS body edit mode is showing. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title Note from EA_Solaire: Hi all, This issue was fixed for Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims, however it is not a retroactive fix and any previously made Sims will still have clothing visible under their privacy mosaic. While this issue is still being investigated, you can fix this for pre-existing Sims by first uploading your impacted households into the Gallery to save them, deleting the household from your world, then replacing the household in your world from the Gallery. Once you replace them from the Gallery, that will clear up any issues with the privacy mosaic. Note by Crinrict: For PC/Mac users you can use this mod to fix all your already broken Sims with a simple command: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/other-mods-reset-bathing-outfit You can remove the mod after doing so.35KViews878likes338Comments

This is the text in the error message: Server error. We could not process this gallery request. Please try again later. I tried uploading the image from my phone, but I can't get my laptop to do so.

CAS catalogue no longer jumps to assets currently worn
Usually, when you click on an asset category, e.g. "Tops", the catalogue would jump down to whichever asset your sim is currently wearing. This has stopped happening after today's update. Instead, the catalogue just appears from the top of the scroll bar. This makes it very hard to tell which asset your sim is wearing and from which pack. (Very excited about all the bug fixes though, thanks Sims Team!!)8.3KViews775likes124Comments
Photos/Paintings turn Black/white (Patch 1.120.140/2.26)
When loading into my game from my last save from last night (January 12), all my photos across the save are there. Now when I try to save today after the update, upon logging back into the game all the photos have turned black! I had to load back to the previous save from last night to get my photos back. But now I can no longer play/ save the game!! The photo system is completely broken. I don't know what code they put into this new update, but I cannot play anymore without the pictures turning black after saving. Please help fix it, I don't know what else to do other than ask for help. I tried making a new save, but photos still turn black. I've no mods/cc installed. The update today mentioned "fixes" with photo system items like graduation photos, celebrity photos, memorial photos, but I have a feeling somewhere within that coding something has gone wrong for existing photos. EDIT: Paintings are affected too. They turn white. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title Note by crinrict More info from Maxis on the issue: Photos turn Black (Patch 1.120.140/2.26) | EA Forums - 13095325 Please use the following threads for other instances of this issue [COL] Cross-Stich by Ref turning white/blank | EA Forums - 13016359 Please create a new thread if you have this for Puzzles as it currently doesn't have one. Note by crinrict Thanks for all that have provided info. Seeing that Maxis is on top of this, I will personally stop testing on this. Thanks to everyone that sent me saves. For a possible workaround by jacknifelee please see this post (apologies if someone else posted this earlier, I haven't had time to read the whole thread): Photos turn Black (Patch 1.120.140/2.26) | EA Forums - 13095325 Also a note for the next upcoming fix. Since black photos are a symptom of a bug and not a bug itself, the issue can have many causes and each needs to be fixed separately. The only safe thing you can do is keep backups of your save game and/or upload rooms with your photos to your library or gallery. This is true for the upcoming patch when they fix another instance. Do not throw your backups away. Keep them safe. You can also keep the files in the screenshot folder in a safe place and then restore them from there if necessary: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ (it's a bit of a tedious method and unfortunately doesn't work for console) You can also find a mini tutorial here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mini-tutorial-148326243 to restore them from a backup. I haven't personally tested this though.35KViews764likes438Comments
