Sims 4 Broken After Newest Update July 2024
After the new patch update yesterday, I can no longer save my game or open that menu up to do anything. Another big issue I'm facing is, every time I go to manage worlds or create a sim, my screen goes black and does nothing. The strange thing is I can still see my sims pictures down the bottom and interact with the environment around me, I just can't see what I'm interacting with. It's completely broken my game. I've verified the integrity of my game, restarted my pc and re-tried it this morning, but am still facing the same issues. I just have to keep closing my game via task manager every time because the black screen never disappears. I would also like to add, I don't have custom content or mods, so this isn't the issue for me.Solved5.9KViews49likes73CommentsSims 4 not launching
Greetings! I hope everyone is doing great. I just wanted to notify that I haven't been able to play since the Lovestruck EP was released. I have tried everything from restarting my computer, clearing cache, researching on forums and videos, even uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling it with no positive results. I was able to communicate with members of the EA team and I'll be waiting for a solution for everyone who's been going through the same issue.904Views11likes14CommentsSims 4 will not save after August 2024 update
Not sure if this is just my game but after the August 2024 update I can no longer place fences?! (but I can place build/buy objects.) I cannot save my game. I click save and I just get the turning circle forever. I don’t play with cc or mods. I play on the EA app on PC. Can anyone help?671Views10likes10CommentsCan't download the new Lovestruck Pack
I have cleared my mods file, checked to make sure all game updates are installed (they are) and I know for a fact that I have ample room on my PC to download the extension. I get to the 'preparing' portion of the download tab and then it gives me an error code. I have restarted my PC, retried the whole process of downloading the pack from the start, and have closed and restarted the app (which in itself is buggy as is) multiple times. Starting to regret wasting 40+ dollars on this pack if the downloading of it is this glitchy. I am now extremely worried about the pack itself and if it's even playable if I can ever get it on my PC.770Views6likes22CommentsAugust 2024 update broke my game again !!!

Any known package files conflicting?2.5KViews5likes3CommentsError Code: EC:204 (can't play offline, says "game license has expired")
Whenever EA puts out a game update, I don't update immediately and switch to playing offline for a week or more (depending on how bad it is) while I wait for mods to be updated and for the worst of the new bugs and glitches to be resolved. I've done this since the EA App was released without issue. So the EA App updated shortly before the 7/23 game update and when I went to play offline last night, I discovered I suddenly couldn't. I click on "go offline" and it shows Sims 4 as an installed game, but now when I click play, instead of launching the game offline as usual, I'm getting an error message telling me that the game license has expired and that I need to launch the game to renew the license and gives the Error Code: EC:204. I've never had this issue before. So now I cannot play the game at all as I've seen how lit it is out on the bug report forum and there's no way I'm updating my game right now with all the issues the patch has created. And I can't go "online" with the game without it automatically pushing the update. Is anyone else having this issue with playing offline right now? And is anyone aware of a work around? (Note: I have already logged out and back in, uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App, cleared the cache, restarted my PC, and ensured by XBox and EA accounts aren't linked (they never were).)Sims 4 Can't Download Latest Updates
I've been trying to download this dang update since lovestruck came out. I love the sims but holy, ea needs to get it together because it's just broken update after broken update and then broken packs. Anyway, I keep getting an error saying something went wrong. When there is no error, the progress bar (doesn't even get to the actual download, it gets stuck on preparing) the progress bar jumps from 6% to 80% to 30% back to 2% etc before eventually giving me an error or just getting stuck for up to 24 hours before crashing. I've moved my mods out, tried clearing the cache, tried repairing it (That had an error too before it got to finish). i've tried each of these (Except for the mods cause y'know) multiple times and it just doesn't work. Anyone struggling with the same? Seems like lots of people are having problems with the update, so hopefully this will be resolved shortly.
