Error when loading the game
I finally decided to take a chance and updated my game 2 days ago. After ensuring all mods are updated before launching, I unfortunately get an error message saying that the game has failed to load on our end and to try again later. I read a forum where its states the bug was resolved but that is not the case !!
game still crashes :(
hi all! i came here looking for help with my game. i saw the update from the 23rd i believe and was hoping my game would load. unfortunately it does not, i still receive a white box error message saying my game won’t load. this probably only happens when i have mods and CC in my Mods folder. I’ve tried launching offline, and just attempting the start bottom repeatedly but still nothing. if anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this that would be great! i haven’t played in a week and im kinda sad.
I LEARNED HOW TO FIX THE BUUGGGS
Okay, so after many hours of sorting through files and being pissed off, my game was able to open up without the mods folder and I figured out a fix that at least works for me. Go into setting and switch from DirectX11 to DX9. This helps the game see all the script (that have been updated) and package files that the DX11 had overlooked because it messes with graphics and older models in a weird way. This also made it where the Error message wouldn't pop up and crash the game from the EA app. I hope this helps you guys :) These posts are everywhere but im trying to tell the people the british are coming.I Got My game to work !!
I was just able to open my game, for the first time in 2 days. Seems like everything is there. All my mods and CC's. I updated the "breast slider v3" https://www.patreon.com/posts/default-breast-96592682 Also i deleted the "Main Menu override" i had. Then i did a repair of the game AGAIN 😂 Now it's working Again , check if any mods, defaults, overrides, whats so ever, is updated!Broken and Updated Sims 4 Mods and CC: patch 1.121, Feb. 3, 12 & 19, 2026

How to use Mods and CC: including how to test for broken mods/CC ("vanilla" testing and the "50-50" method) Malicious Scripts and MalwareSims coming home from high school and work early autonomously
As the title says, not long after sending my sims to high school or work they come home early and I get the pop-up asking if they should leave early, but they just do regardless of what I choose. I'm not entering cas, build mode, or traveling with other sims while they're away, it just happens. (Attatchment shows the pop-up and in the corner you can see how she already came home early). I've already removed all mods relating to high school and careers (also I dont have get to work or anything) and it still ain't working and it's so frustrating.
