Python Upgrade Coming Soon
Hi everyone, I want to give you a heads up that in an upcoming release, we will be upgrading the version of Python used by the game. We currently use Python 3.3.5 and will be moving to Python 3.7.0. Once this change is released, all compiled script mods will completely stop working. Note that in this new version of Python, the .pyo extension is replaced by .pyc, see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488/ We know this will have impact on your script mod authoring pipelines so wanted to provide notice in advance so you can be ready for the change when it arrives. To assist, I’ve attached the Python scripts from the currently released version of the game (v1.46.18) recompiled under Python 3.7.0. If all goes as planned, this change should arrive in November. Note that there will not be any fundamental changes to tuning data, other than the typical types of changes we make to tuning for patches. Thanks! SGMS

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.

Update for The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo - June 29, 2020!
Hey Simmers! We released an update to our The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo (CAS) today. The major difference you will notice is that the CAS Demo no longer connects to the Gallery. Happy Simming! Copying Sims From CAS Demo to The Sims 4: Since the CAS Demo no longer supports Gallery, Sims created must be manually copied over to The Sims 4. Instructions on how to do this are below: Locate your CAS demo save folder. Default location is: C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo\Tray Locate your The Sims 4 save folder. Default location is: C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray Transfer the files over from the CAS Demo folder called "Tray" to the The Sims 4 folder "Tray" for any Sims you want to move. The next time you load The Sims 4, your transferred Sims should be available in your game library.

Sims 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.

Can'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.

Sims 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?

Infinite Loading
is anyone else having issues with their game infinitely loading after the new love struck patch? my game is completely unplayable — at first, my cas wouldn’t load and it turned out to be a mod causing the issue so i updated it and it fixed the problem but when i loaded up a save, it just sat and loaded and loaded and never loaded so i took out every single mod and did an entirely new save and even THATS not loading and infinitely loading i’m seriously sick of every update being just a game breaker — i can’t even start a new save, because i manage to exit cas, choose a lot and then get stuck on infinite loading when trying to start in the world , it’s crazy
