My game packs just stopped working.
So yesterday i brought quite a few expansion, game, and stuff packs and everything been working perfectly fine all day until like 30 minutes ago. My base game loads up perfectly but none of my expansion packs or add-ons aren't showing up. I've tried repairing it in EA and restarting my laptop butttttt still its not working. Help is needed
Forever Free Packs for Everyone
Sims 4 is already a 10-year-old game with around like 90 packs. And new packs will continue to be released for many years. Inzoi, with $40 (1 ep price we have 16 of them), might be able to cover 70-80 of these 90 packs, and with the base game without DLCs, they'll likely complete the missing ones within 1-2 years. I think Sims should adjust some of the older packs to be permanently free to prevent losing in the competition and keep players engaged. For example, packs like Seasons, Cats and Dogs expansion pack, and in game packs Get to Work could be free. If they make 2-3 packs from each pack type free, it would be great for new players, and they can complete the rest without pirating. By the way, I have almost all of the Sims packs. For those who already have these packs, the upcoming kits could be available for free for a month, similar to the Desert Luxe kit they gave for free when Sims 4 became free.
an updated version from this pack idea
it's an updated version from this idea last year Suggestion: Stuff Pack for Selling Furniture in The Sims | EA Forums - 11251519 it's either a Game or a Stuff pack now that we're getting a "running a business" lot type soon what if we get a new dumpster and only find furnitures this time and get an already existing handy skill to fix either broken or damaged furnitures? (the only dumpster we've got is in "Eco Lifestyle" so i'd like to get an another one) and i want an option to create new furnitures like chairs, couches, beds, baths, desks, tables, fridge to name a few (there are lots of them that can be created of course but i'll spend hours on that idea if i mention each furnitures lol) and paint them from your liking, all kind of style and colour options (painting skill with just more options) maybe we get a "creating furnitures" venue for this pack idea (if not maybe an already existing pack called "community space" like they did with Evergreen Harbor that came with Eco Lifestyle as an option but a little differently?) once you created the furnitures, fixed the damaged or broken furnitures you can sell them so you earn money (actually fixing the furnitures can be in the basegame update, just an idea so it won't cost money if you have damaged furnitures) Aspirations: "Running the furniture shop/market" (money category) "Furnitures designer" (creativity category) it's kinda like the furniture version of "Home Chef Hustle" World: it doesn't have to come as a world but if it becomes a Game Pack maybe China? (or Egypt?) it's the same idea i shared last year, just more options for this pack idea lot challenge: to make damaged and/or broken furnitures appear all of a sudden (similair to the community space that comes with "Eco Lifestyle" and the sudden growing grasses that comes with Horse Ranch) unless it can match with a Expansion Pack i think it should be either in Game Pack or Stuff Pack i just have to think up a tittle name for this idea ("furniture making" maybe as a tittle name?) what do you think about an updated version from last year? finding damaged or broken furnitures you fix damaged or broken furnitures and/or you upgrade the furnitures you dye and style it for your likings you create your own furniture you sell the furnitures you have created and/or the furniture that's fixed which was damaged or broken if it becomes a Game Pack then this is perfectly made with my pack idea when running a shop (Super Keener Trait) Update: the most recent pack is gonna come out and my idea could've matched with "Businesses & Hobbies" oh well maybe who knows in the future if we get a new community lot it can match perfectly with running your own shop, i won't give up!
stop giving us new content and PLEASE fix your game.
I wanted to make a more in detail post (TLDR at the end for anyone who doesn't want to read my yap session!) on this forum because I feel like it needs to be talked about as more than a frustrated vent, but the sims 4 team needs to slow down on new content and focus on fixing their game. I understand the devs work really hard and no game is 100% bug free but this is genuinely starting to feel excessive and it's making the game really difficult to play. I've been playing the sims 4 since 2018 (which i know isn't the longer but I'm a younger simmer lol) and in all the time I've been playing this game, I don't think I've ever had this many bugs. I'd have maybe one bug for a couple of days but even then it'd be some minor thing that didn't effect my enjoyment of the game. However, recently, I've found myself using EA's gameplay support forum excessively. I'm come here almost every time I open my game because I'm always having some sort of issue with my game. My farmer and rancher sims crops disappear/turn invisible the second fall hits (and NO i don't mean an out of season crop dying, I mean my fully grown, in season fall and winter plants being invisible for the entire duration of the seasons) and while sure I can still use the gameplay mechanic, after a while (and many weeks) it's very visually frustrating to look at a large field of invisible plants that are still very much in season. Mind you visual issues like this have been bugged dating back to 4 years ago (though my specific issue seemingly only dates back to 5 months ago which is still a long time but a lot shorter of a time frame than four years ago) My sims can not getting married at wedding arches because it says that both engaged sims must be around (even if both of them are right in front of the arch), so I'm forced to do the manual engagement through the romance category which defeats the whole purpose of having wedding arches. With this issue also comes not being able to renew wedding vows because said archers are broken, This issue also seemingly dates back to a minimum of 5 months ago. Another issue I, and a lot of other simmers have, is disappearing terrain paint, and this issue has been happening for YEARS. The only way for me to somewhat circumnavigate is to build whatever im building first, save, leave to manage worlds, go back to the lot, do the paint, save again, leave again, and then load back in. That is absurd, again this has been happening for YEARS. Ever since EA introduced ads into the sims 4 (The opening screen ads and the splash ads) many people have found themselves not able to close or dismiss the ads, again another bug that has been around for a hot minute, that makes the game unplayable, that hasn't been fixed. Or what about the eyelid glitch that makes sims not able to close their eyes all the way? Again, I understand no game will be 100% bug free, but so many of the bugs have been around for months, sometimes even years, and they still aren't fixed, and it's truly ridiculous to see. It's incredibly frustrating to see SO many longstanding bugs be put under the tag "under investigation" when it honestly feel like nothing is being investigated. Or, at the very least, communicate with your community more. Even a vague "Hey guys, we hear your issues with the bugs and we're trying to fix them!" is more reassuring than radio silence or a moderator linking us to another forum for 8 months ago with a person having the same issue as you. If your game is so buggy it's putting people off and stopping you from attracting more people to it, maybe it's time to take a break from being a cash hungry corporation. Please, STOP PUTTING OUT NEW CONTENT AND FIX YOUR GAME. or at the very least shift your focus onto to fixing common bugs that make your game nearly unplayable. I love the sims, it is truly one of my favorite games of all time, but it's disappointing and frustrating to see 6 new expansion packs, 3 new game packs, 2 new stuff packs, and 12 new kits come out in one year while me and hundreds of other simmers have been begging you to fix a bug that first showed up in your game 2 years ago. So, EA, sims dev team, PLEASE FIX YOUR GAMES. TLDR: This game has so many bugs its nearly unplayable (or at the very least VERY frustrating to play) but ea keeps putting out new content instead of fixing month(s)/year(s) old issues and it's getting irritating.
Sims 4 freezing when traveling - I’ve tried everything!!
I just bought 3 new add ons (dream home decorator, wedding, and pop pastel) and have been trying to play, but every time I try to travel the game freezes on the loading screen. I’ve cleared the cache, repaired the game and add ons, and checked that I have enough storage to accommodate the game. I’ve loaded in different save files, have been using the load option instead of resume, and I don’t play with any custom content or mods. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially since I just spent even more money on this game.
Sims data is deleting itself
My sister and i have been playing sims as long as we can remember. Between the both of us, hwe have bough nearly all of the packs. Whenever she plays and i help her make characters and houses and stuff, it doesn't always save. We have uninstalled all of the packs and game base a few times and redownload them but it doesn't load. It doesn't say its corrupted BUT its like the entire things deletes itself. We would only have 2 or 3 small families (then leave any sims thats already in the world) and play. But after like idk 5 or 6 hours and we save it to play something else, we'll come back and it wont show up. How can we fix that? Be mindful. We had tried uninstall, unplugging the Seagate after turning it off, restarting and even factory reset just incase and still nothing. Should we try on another xbox? Or try another Seagate?i lost access to my The Sims 4 packs and I want them back
I had many expansion packs, accessories and other packs for The Sims 4 and today when I logged into the game my family still existed but it said the game needed eighteen packs "for me to buy" even though I very much owe them and would like them back. I even have the digital versions if that helps cause I bought them all physically
[PS/XB] Cursor is missing
Can’t save my game. When I switch to needs etc game sends me to load screen. Cursor disappears so I can’t even scroll or play when the save option works which is like 10% of the time. Spent sooo much money on this game and being unable to play is disappointing. Please fix soon!!!! Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ
Sims 4 packs - Code already redeemed
I started playing Sims 4 on PC in 2014. Back then, we still needed to use Origin. I purchased a few packs, some digital, and some physical. Quick backstory: On my EA account, it states that I've been a member since 2012. To me, this indicates that I am using the correct details linked to my original Origin account. I've only ever had one Origin account, and when it changed to the EA app, I ensured that I used the same login details when moving over to EA because I knew making a new account would lead to losing all my purchased content. Therefore, I made sure it was all the same account details. Present day: I've been wanting to purchase new packs for The Sims 4, but because I've purchased 90% of the packs on PS4, I put off purchasing new packs for PC. Anyway, I recently remembered that I had multiple purchased packs on PC, as mentioned before. When logged in to EA, it says that I need to purchase the packs again. When I type in the codes of my physical copies, it says it's already been redeemed, yet for a short moment, a screen pops up stating that it worked. There is absolutely no way for me to access my purchased packs, and I am in desperate need of help. I have the physical codes, I have proof that I purchased digital copies on this account, but I can't use them. Other purchased games (not Sims-related) also need to be repurchased. WHAT DO I DO? I am so fed up.
