EA APP UNABLE TO LAUNCH GAMES
My sims 4 game has not been working over the past week. Every time I try to launch my sims game, it will say the game is already running but it is not! This is a brand new MacBook Air, I've already tried repairing, uninstalling and re-installing the app. I've tried App recovery, I called Apple Tech support. They obviously can't help with 3rd party apps so can someone please assist me! Every time I try to contact EA, they are SO terrible and difficult to reach. Why have start case as an option when I can't talk to anyone or they always close my case before it is even finished/resolved! The customer service has declined massively.Custom Playbooks Not Working
When creating a custom playbook, the "Coach Suggestions" section in-game always present the same pool of plays, regardless of your star ratings/selections in the "My Gameplan" section in the custom playbook menu. Obviously, spending lots of time on creating a custom playbook with unique ratings for the coach suggestions, and then for it not to work is quite frustrating. Let me know if I can provide any more details! I've tried raising and lowering the adjustments, even going as far as having several plays at "100" or "5 stars" and the same 15 plays appear for each situation (1st down, 2 & long, etc.).,
Tips for Dealing with Simulation Lag?
Hello. The simulation lag/lag in general has been horrible in my game for a while now. I'm almost sure it's not a Mod problem too. I'm wondering if this is something to do with the new 1.113 update? This is a few examples of what has been going on in my game lately: 1. Sims just standing around and staring at each other for a long time before socializing and interacting. 2. Game freezes/takes several moments before clicking on the pie menu, fridge, stove, etc. 3. When turning the camera around, the game stutters and freezes up. 4. The in-game clock is out of sync- going back several sim minutes or hours into the past. 5. Sims will stand around for several hours, doing nothing. 6. Game freezing randomly and crashing several times. Here's what I have tried: 1. Restarting my PC/Checking to see if it meets the proper requirements. 2. Updating the game and my mods for the newest update. 3. Repairing the game through the EA App. (this helped a little, but not by much). 4. Clearing cache files, screenshots, and broken mods/cc. 5. Clearing my Tray and Library. (again, this did help a little, but not by much). 6. I also have the Simulation Unclogger and Simulation Lag Fix Mod. 7. Taking my mods folder out, renaming it, and starting the game to create a brand new folder, then moving everything to the new folder. Anyone else having these problems? I've been noticing it a lot over the past few weeks. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to help with these issues? It's almost to the point where the game is unplayable for me. Which is sad, because I really love playing my current household! 😥 I've spent a while trying to figure this problem out. It just feels like every time EA releases a new update/patch, it makes everything 10x worse. I was having these issues before 1.113, but not as badly. Any solutions and advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

Product: The Sims 4, EA App Platform: PC Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Some of the time or every time, depending on bug aspect What is your current game version number? 1.116.223.1030 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cottage Living, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, Get to Work, Werewolves, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Parenthood, Vampires, Outdoor Retreat, Paranormal, Tiny Living, My First Pet, Laundry Day, Backyard, Romantic Garden, Perfect Patio, Luxury Party, Desert Luxe, Blooming Rooms, Holiday Celebration Pack, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar What happens when the bug occurs? Cannot place gifts or tree skirt under holiday tree What do you expect to see? Option to place gifts under tree, and gifts under tree after this interaction Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Sometimes Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes Please describe the patch or change you made. 1.116.223.1030 or the update before this There is no option to place gifts under the Holiday Tree (from Holiday Celebration Pack) or Stroke Of Midnight Department Store Holiday Spruce (from Seasons), and I'm not sure if this interaction was ever an option for the former, but I could've sworn it was for the latter. This is either a bug or a pretty significant oversight, because a major point of the holiday trees is the gifts places under them. I tested this both with and without mods/custom content, and it was true regardless of whether they were on or off. I can place gifts under the Ever Delightful Evergreen Holiday Tree (from Seasons) with no issue as long as I have mods turned off. However, when mods are on, no gifts appear after placing them, even though the game thinks they're there. It shows the "Remove Gift Pile" interaction as an option once the gifts are placed, even though no gifts are visible, and no gifts can be clicked on or interacted with. The tree skirt also doesn't appear, but the game thinks it does, because it can be removed after being "placed."
Xbox One crashes during save
My game auto saves while on the world map. If I'm playing and try to save, it crashes. Started yesterday after all the updates. It takes an extremely long time to load the game now too, because I have 100 of them to load. lol First I load the game with internet on, then when it gets to the bar, I have to turn the internet off. Once it gets to the title page, then I turn the internet back on and wait for it to ask for a restart. Then I cross my fingers and wait to see if it crashes after restarting. If not then I can actually play but not save. Oh, and after I exit to game I have to enter 'Manage The Sims 4' and delete the reserve file. Turn off the Xbox One, and unplug it for at least 30 seconds to fully clear the cache. If I don't, the game repeatedly crashes when I try to start it. For now I'm just going to continue altering neighborhoods since the auto save for that is working. Anyone else on an Xbox One have to go through all this, and load it twice to get it to work at all? I'm seeing a lot of save problem reports for the Playstation, but couldn't find any recent ones for the Xbox One. I hope this gets resolved.
Enchanted by Nature expansion issue
i preordered the game and once i went to install last night, it got to the add on and then gave me an error message that game ownership disabled or deleted. the digital fairy content is what seems to be hanging up. i tried to clear cache, disable mods and restart computer/app, it hasn't helped. i went ahead and canceled the download the first time and once i loaded my save, it showed a duplicate of the same world for Inisgreen. has anyone else also experienced double worlds and/or been able to fix the ownership issue? repairing will keep causing the pop up to happen.
APXGP Pack missing
Hi everyone, I purchased the F1 25 Iconic Edition via Steam on July 11, 2025, which was within the eligibility period to receive the APXGP Pack, including access to the F1 movie characters (Sonny Hayes, Joshua Pearce) and the APXGP team. However, the APXGP Pack is not showing up in my Steam DLC list, and neither the movie drivers nor the APXGP team are available in-game. I've checked across all game modes (Career, My Team, Grand Prix, etc.), but they are nowhere to be found. I've also made sure the game is fully updated and that all the DLC available are installed properly—but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any known fixes or steps I might be missing? Thanks very much for your help!
