Systemic Flaw in Community Server System
Dice, if you want community servers to come back, just bring them back properly. If you let player-hosted community lobbies be filled with AI, do you know what that means? It means anyone can run their own community lobby and fight against AI. Real players will end up getting split up. No lobby will ever get enough real people. There will be tons of community servers, but when you join, there are only three or four real players mixed with loads of AI. Every server will be like that. What’s the point of that? The player base will be completely fragmented. No server will ever have full real-player matches. Please disable AI population for community servers. That way, players looking for community matches can quickly find servers with the most real people and join them. Let good community server admins stand out.
95 Depth Still Requires Further Patching - Stamina Drain Required...
Hey, OK then, so EA has given us a patch 1.2.0 which targeted the aggressive nature of the auto AI offside trap that 95 depth players were getting assisted with. OK great, so the AI now drops off from its super aggressive halfway line approach. Which if you want to perform now you would have to keep the line there by pressing the D Pad button UP🔼 multiple times to keep them there. More risk required. However, the stamina drain is still required for aggressive approaches. So EA, you need to go further with these defensive approaches and make stamina drain much quicker. Some of these players should be dead on their feet by minute 60. People should be required to make subs and use their benches and run the risk of draining their best players quicker. I really can't believe more stamina drain has not been applied in this latest patch. Human physics is totally being ignored by EA. This is not a football simulation anymore. EA Sports, It's in the game.... NO EA Sports, It's all missing from the game
My game keeps crashing randomly throughout gameplay.
Game works perfectly except it freezes, and a white screen or random scene appears, but the game still works behind it, so luckily I can save because I remember where the save button is. Usually it is after 5-10 min of playing, sometimes immediately after I load the save. The strange thing is that game is still running behind it as I said earlier and I must close it tru task manager. But sometimes it's crashes with the last crash file in it. Long story short. Save file; it's only like 20 sim days long (pretty new). Yes, I do play with mods and cc and I checked every mod a few times on Scarlett's list of broken mods. Plus I didn't download a lot of mods. All mods are updated. I thought the reason was high graphics, but no, I reduced everything to medium. I updated my drivers, so that can't be a reason. Also, I tried clean folder method and I was able to play for like 40 min without a crash (wanted to play more but had work to do) and the next day it started again.
The game is really bad after the update
If your team doesn’t know how to fix the problems that have existed since the beginning of the game, why lie and say you will fix them? And after the update, we get surprised by way more problems. Also, the old problems are still there—go try the game yourselves to see. Now let's talk about my problems: in the new event, they want us to win 14 matches out of 25 attempts. Today, I had a record of 9 wins and 10 matches left. I played 6 of them, and whenever I was winning, the opponent, who is playing on PlayStation, ends the game and somehow kicks me out of Ultimate Team with a message saying you can’t connect to the opponent and the match is under review. When I log back into Ultimate Team, I get a message as if I was the one who left the match. This is really frustrating; I was winning in 6 matches with a score the opponent couldn’t come back from. And now what’s happening? This isn’t a game anymore—it’s just a ridiculous joke. ... Who will make it up to me? I thank God that I can cancel my subscription because this game is not a game, it's trash that can't even fix the PlayStation glitches, which are from ...24
Game not opening and can't be uninstalled
Hii, I haven't been able to open my game since Nov 5 😭😭. I usually have to open stam and ea app for my game to actually open but now it'll say on steam that it's running but the game doesn't show up nor is it open when I look at task manager. I've tried taking out the whole Sims 4 folder out of my documents and it did create a new Sims 4 folder but it still wouldn't show up (I tried opening before the new folder appeared). I saw another post on here saying I have to reinstall it because of a windows issue but I can't even do that! I tried running a dxdiag and it says eveything was working fine. I would try uninstalling from settings and steam it wouldn't uninstall full causing my laptop to lag out and I'd have to hard reset it to do anything. I've tried playing other steam games and uninstalling other games and there's no problem there just TS4. In fairness it could be my 4GB RAM but I've been able to play for tons of hours just fine. Can anyone help me or am I cooked 😔😔
About the latency/routing issue in FC 27
I want to raise an issue that many players from Southern and Eastern Europe have already experienced in FC 26 — and I am concerned that we are going to see exactly the same situation in FC 27. In FC 26, players reported a significant deterioration in latency and gameplay quality after the July 29th server maintenance. The issue was particularly noticeable for players in Romania, Ukraine and other parts of Eastern/Southeastern Europe. This is not simply a case of having a “bad internet connection”. In the existing FC 26 thread, EA Community Manager Darko confirmed that the issue had been raised with the team and was being investigated. However, almost two months later, we still have no clear explanation, no technical details and, most importantly, no indication of when or how the issue will actually be resolved. The thread is still active, and players are continuing to report the same problem: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/severe-latency-degradation-in-romania-after-july-29th-maintenance/13610423 I have also posted several times in that thread, asking a very simple question: What are players supposed to do if they live far away from the servers or are affected by poor regional routing? Are we expected to solve the problem ourselves by paying for third-party connection-routing services such as GearUP, WTFast, ExitLag, Surfshark or similar services — on top of already paying for the game and online services? In my own case, using an alternative routing service can significantly improve the route and gameplay experience. That is important evidence that the problem is not necessarily my local connection or hardware. The difference can be the route used to reach EA's infrastructure. I don't think the solution should be that players in Eastern or Southern Europe have to pay an additional monthly subscription to third-party services just to get a reasonable gameplay experience. Players who live close to EA data centers can often get 10–20 ms connections. Players who are geographically farther away obviously cannot expect identical latency. But there is a very important difference between naturally higher latency because of distance and unnecessarily poor routing to the available EA servers. This is exactly what I am asking EA to clarify for FC 27: Has the routing/matchmaking issue affecting parts of Eastern and Southern Europe actually been identified? Has anything been changed in FC 27 to prevent the same problem from happening again? How does EA handle players who are geographically distant from the available data centers? Are there plans to improve regional routing or matchmaking server selection? And most importantly: will EA provide an actual technical explanation and update to the affected community? We are not asking for impossible 10 ms ping from every country. We are asking for a fair and technically reasonable connection to the servers available to us. Please don't let FC 27 repeat the same situation we experienced in FC 26. Eastern and Southern European players deserve an answer before this becomes another year-long problem. upd: I’ve seen several threads on the forum about a similar issue from various regions, not just Europe.Packs dont show up in game!!
So I have a little (big) problem! This originally happened before the newest update as i linked my steam account to my ea account before that and since then all my packs just dont exist to the game i guess? So when i check my ea app all the packs say installed but when i launch the game it shows that they're owned but NOT installed and i don't understand why. I can install the kits and maker packs from the marketplace and they work but all my other packs just don't appear. I linked the accounts because i originally got the sims when i was 9 and i got it on a disc and I live in a slavic country so only my language and three others were available to play as which is still the case in the ea app but i remembered if you link your steam account you can change your ingame language to english and since i like to play with mods that are in English (this is NOT a mods issue since they packs dont appear even with mods turned off + currently i have only 5 mods installed due to resetting my laptop) and basically everything being in polish while some things being in english ruined my gameplay experiance especially when i wanted to record some of my gameplay. I have no idea why this happened as i had the steam account linked before and it worked perfectly but i had to restart my laptop due to some corruption which ended up, you know delating everything off of it including sims but i redownloaded it and made a sims and put her in a lot and i had every dlc working but then i remembered that i can download sims on my steam to make it english so i can download some gameplay mods before i start getting into the save and...then it just broke. so any help is appreaciated! ps. sorry for bad english as i completely forgot how to write due to being so desperate for a fix 😓game only lets me reinstall kits after uninstall
steam and all my games on it stopped working, the only way i could fix it was uninstall then reinstall steam, along with all my games on it. i got multiple dlcs through instant gaming, and ea says they are all still installed and perfectly fine. the game itself says i still own all of them, except they are not installed... for some reason they let me re-install "bust the dust" (which i got the exact same way as all the others), but none of the others including: crystal creations, cats and dogs, growing together, horse ranch, snowy escape, get famous, eco lifestyle, nifty knitting, royalty and legacy, for rent, enchanted by nature, parenthood, vampires and home chef hustle.Stuck on saving screen!
Hello, I have an issue with saving. Everytime I build I can't save my progress, I can save like a few times and then I am permanently stuck on the saving screen, I've removed all my mods, still stuck, I've cleaned the cache, still stuck. I even replaced my save files incase they're corrupted STILL STUCK!! Shutting down with task manager is not a fix. I use the "save game" option since people said save and quit might be the problem, it is not, everything is a problem for saving
