Sims 4 Crashing on Launch
This started about a week ago. No matter where I launch Sims from (Steam, EA, Desktop), the screen flashes black and white and then I get stuck on a white screen. I have over 600 hours of this game with no issues. I have tried: Resetting my PC, uninstalling/reinstalling Sims, installing just the base game with no DLC, Restoring my laptop to factory settings, clearing the EA cache, clearing the Steam cache, downloaded the latest NVIDIA driver, turned off cloud backup, moved sims to desktop, removed any and all mods, verified gaming files through Steam. I'm on a Victus laptop, intel core i7 13700HX, Windows 11 10.0.22631, Driver: Game Ready Driver Version 566.14 I'm not very well versed in computers so please helpBugged "Pamper on Couch" Interaction (Pets Expansion Pack)
Not sure if this happened to anyone, but just now, I tried pampering the pets in my household and it glitched. What happened: - Most, if not all of the interaction, there was no animation trigger. All they did was acknowledge each other from time to time with their head positions, but they remained stiff as a statue. - Both pets were in different comforts (a couch and a loveseat) that were next, but not connected to each other. When the sim in question tried to interact, he glitched from one seat to another. Hopefully it was a one time occurence, but I'll remain vigilant if it happens again.
Laundry Day Stuff Pack Not Showing
At some point earlier this year, I added TS4 to my husband’s Steam account from EA so I could play on his computer. I’ve since gotten my own PC setup and redownloaded TS4 using the EA app. Every pack is visible and playable except for Laundry Day, and it’s driving me mad. It says it is purchased but I must have bought it through Steam and it can’t be transferred back over to EA? Is this the case?? Can I seriously not play it unless I’m on Steam? Because now I have bought MORE expansions through EA and its just a mess. My immersion is ruined without a functioning laundry room in my house builds ;-; I am seriously willing to pay for the pack through EA if it would let me but I’m afraid to try and have it waste my money if it doesn’t work… Can anyone help with this? I’ve tried reading up on it but nothing has helped or was for a different console outside of PC.
Game won't load/ crashes within minutes if it does and nothing fixes it
Issue:My game has become completely unplayable from crashes. they happened when starting, at the 1st loading screen, when on main menu, when loading a safe, within a few minutes of playing even if nothing is happening even if it's paused. For weeks I've been looking everywhere, trying everything I can find but nothing seems to work and I don't know what to do anymore. the only thing I haven't done is I saw someone say they needed to factory reset 4 times before it worked again and I really don't wanna do all that 3 more times. I'm AuDHD and this game genuinely helps me body double to get things done without getting stressed from actual people so this really really sucks. plus the hundreds I've spend on this. before this it was fine, what the heck happened? When did it start:I'm not sure exactly when but somewhere between 1 and 2 months ago, I think after an update around that time. it started with a crash or not loading every now and then and got worse until it's now constant and unplayable. Do I use mods:deleting mods was the 1st thing I tried. I even accidentally deleted my mod folder and didn't realise until after CC cleaner, one drive is clean and should not be linked now and everything should be 100% gone after PC reset and still the same issues. I did just now add MC Command Centre and Better Exceptions so they can hopefully help with crash reports. What app do I use:Normally Steam but I've tried the EA app too with no change One problem or multiple?Because it seems so random it's really hard to tell if it's one issue or a ton of issues coming together. either way nothing so far has worked What packs do I own, in order of when I bought them: >Awesome Animal Hats. >Blooming Rooms Kit. >Cats & Dogs. >Cottage Living. >Desert Luxe Kit. >Digital Deluxe Edition. >Digital Soundtrack. >Holiday Celebration Pack. >Laundry Day Stuff. >Life Of The Party. >Seasons. >Up All Night. >Eco Life Style. >Outdoor Retreat. >Parenthood. >Bust The Dust Kit. >Nifty Knitting. >Growing Together. >Outdoor Playtime. >My First Pet Stuff. >Romantic Garden. >Discover University. >Get To Work. >Toddler Stuff. >Vintage Glamour. >Backyard Stuff. >Crystal Creations. >Home Chef Hustle Stuff. >Horse Ranch. >Island Living. >Jungle Adventure. >Snowy Escape.

I might need clear steps on where to find it tho. Idk if this is too long but I really wanted to add any and all information I could think of that might help. Thank you for reading. What I've tried: Remove all Mods and CC EA App Recovery, Restart App and Steam Verify Files before and after every other step Turn down/change graphics in game and at the pc system settings Made sure anything and everything is updated and used CC cleaner pro Reinstall both apps before and after PC reset, and tried to launch on Steam with EA app not installed, it just auto instals it Reinstall Sims 4, new safe files. then removed all extra packs etc Delete files: Sims4 folder, accountDataDB.package, local thumbcache, avatar cache, restart PC, made sure Onedrive was not connected and empty just to be sure Tmex Better Exceptions, Sim Unclogger, MCCC Check task manager, DXDIOG, Check Specs, Antivirus off Delete sims 4 folder, restart PC. Delete accountDataDB.package Windows terminal, DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth: No error. sfc /scannow: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. Windows key+R perfom /rel Completely reset my PC, literally starting 100% new I did all of those except for PC Factory reset over and over, I'm really hoping I won't have to do that again as well Oh and I saw that there might be problems with Razer stuff and I have a Razer mouse but I can't find any related programs on my pc and tried a different brand mouse and it still happened. I also asked the Deaderpool discord for help and they didn't know what else to do and told me to ask EA which I did and eventually they send me here cause they didn't know either. This is my last resort lol. while I wait for answers I'm probably gonna reinstall the game again or somethingmy game has a texture issue i think?
I opened my game recently and I noticed most of my base game items have red and white boxes with question marks and some textures have blue and red boxes with green question marks. I had uninstalled and reinstalled the game already once and this did not solve the issue, also factory reset and it didn't resolve. I can't play the game as the texture issue makes some parts lag and crash my game. I have no clue what it is corrupted on, I had mods and I have removed them from my game as well and that was not the issue it seems. I'm just confused about what to do. *i installed the game from steam
