Packs showing as deactivated in-game/Not active after purchase
I downloaded the For Rent pack and in my game files it says the pack is there but in CAS and in build mode etc it says I don't own it, I have repaired sims and the EA app but the issue is still not fixed. Thanks Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
Sims repeatedly cleaning objects
It looks like our old bug from the console versions is back. The option to clean everything even when it's not dirty. I thought I was clearly losing it when I sent my Sim out to clean something, and then they didn't finish cleaning it, and it still looked all grody and tarnished. And here's the thing: not every Sim in my save has the Neat trait enabled. GameVersion: 1.122.212.1030 Has all EPs, Game Packs and Stuff Packs except for RL Has all but 4 kits (most of them were purchased prior to the Marketplace rollout). Other interactions I've seen where Sims don't have X-trait are Sabotage or Destroy, but so far cleaning everyday-use objects when Sims don't have the Neat trait, or have an exact opposite trait altogether is the earliest one I spotted while looking up for research on this topic. This may break the cleaning services if the game treats the object as still clean-able.
I can't play anymore after I turned the mods off
After the latest update (March 17, 2026), my game would not let me play at all. Every time I tried, I got an "error: failed to launch" message from the EA App. I clicked manage and repair so many times, but nothing worked, or if it did, it was only for a handful of minutes, not hours. When I finally did get into the game, the whole interface was shrunk. It's way too small for me to read pop-ups or menus, etc. I don't know how that happened. Also, I keep getting a pop-up saying one or more packs have been uninstalled, but I didn't uninstall anything. And, it has also slowed the speed of the game down significantly with lag. I switched mods off and tried to reload back into the game, thinking maybe that was the problem, but now I can't even play at all. The play button is grayed out for me, and I can't click repair or uninstall, only manage add-ons and view properties.
How do I stop lessons from displaying on login?
I got Business and Hobbies and it keeps showing me lessons (I think that's what these pop ups are) when I log in. What they are about changes but they are all about B+H content: I have all tutorials and lessons disabled. How do I stop these messages when I start the game? No, removing mods doesn't help.How to set up mulitple PCs without Ban?
I'm a youth worker in charge of gaming. I tried setting up accounts for the 4 PCs we have, as we are buying FC26. Each on their own seperate email. all 4 got banned a day after creating the accounts, im guessing cause they thought we were bots or something because of how close togthether i made them. when i appealed it they said "After reviewing your case, we determined that we took the correct action in accordance with EA policies and procedures" despite me explaining we're setting up a youth centre's gaming space. help!! my boss will be mad if he's just bought 4 copies of FC we cant even use. i dont know what im gonna do, any advice appriciated. How can I make the accounts again? or speak to a human as the support site is useless and just gives me the same questions over and over.
Can't disable packs on EA App/Steam
After the newest patch the game ignores the command to manually disable packs on the EA App. That's a problem because I don't want to activate every pack at once for all my save files and have occults running around. I want to play with just a few selected packs, which fit the individual save file's theme and its storyline. Edit By crinrict: added missing thread tags (my own testing)
[LD] Soul's Journey Hover Panel Differs from Full Panel
Some time post the 5/27/2025 update, I started experiencing an issue where one of my Sim's Bucket List/Soul's Journey objectives displays differently on the Aspirations hover menu vs clicking into the full panel. Now, following the 6/17/25 update, the same Sim has 5 Bucket List goals on the hover menu, despite the maximum on the full panel being 4. In the above screenshots, the "Let's take a Tomarang tour!" goal ought to be the "I want to bolster my reputation as a cool musician!". The "Honestly? I just wanna get weird in a bush..." is the 5th unexpected addition. I haven't had this issue with any Sims prior or other members of this same household, but none of them had a fully filled Bucket List. I am posting these two behaviours together, as I assume it's an overall issue with the hover panel for the Soul's Journey aspect, but please let me know if two bugs are preferred.

While bored on the PC, waiting for energy to accumulate, I decided to look at the About section & saw this. I don't know if this was intentional or if someone forgot to change the information while copying it over. But I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know. I found it funny, but I don't know if this could be a serious problem for the company or not. So I put it here for it to be fixed or not I decided to put it here in technical issues, because I couldn't think of any other place where it would be appropriate to put it, but as it is a "technical issue" in the very loose sense. I figured this would be appropriate. If I'm wrong, then please gladly move it over to the appropriate section
