I would not play legacy saves atm. There could be more issues that haven't surfaced yet and the moodlet issue is breaking saves.
So, I would advise to put them aside for now and play another save game. Build some, create some Sims or just fiddle around with some of the features
I'm very shocked and appalled to see that yet another support server closed down temporarily because of the entitlement and rudeness of some people. (although I'm very happy that the supporters now get to try their own game).
Here's an idea folk. Ever heard of searching ?
Finally completed this collection. I do believe that's all of them (the back side is different on each).
Wished they still had cool collectors editions like these.
Many Gallery lots currently seem to cause issues.
I propose to test everything in a new save game first to see if it causes issues before putting then in your regular game.
Also backup your save game before placing.
As the weekend before patch day draws closer, it's a good time to create a backup of your user folder. You'll find an overview on what file does what here:
Make sure to remove your mods until they get updated or hold of with patching until they do.
For those who don't know yet: There's a pretty bad bug in the game right now. It's not fixed by the EP, that was an error on my part: Sims age in CAS. It doesn't matter if they're vampires or if you have aging off or how you enter CAS. - Maxis is aware and working on it.
For those of you running the legacy edition: Eco Living will NOT run on that. Don't pre-order or by the pack.
If you have automatic updates enabled you will be prompted for the patch but the changes will not affect your game so you can turn it off now. You don't need the patch
Hi everyone, I can't keep up with all the tweets here so apologize the lack of answers.
The social menu issue is tied to the singing skill. Cheat reduce it to < 5 and your Sim should be fine.
There's also issues with the mailbox + instruments but those seem unrelated to singing
Common Patch issues we've seen reported lately at AHQ:
- White/red question mark sims --> repair your game
- Base game worlds missing --> Repair your game
- Origin is looping the update --> Reinstall Origin or delete Origin cache
- Game doesn't start --> Check your antivirus
Current Issues (other than the bugs)
Mac: Endless loading your save --> Repair the game
Mac: World screen is blank with no worlds -- Repair your gaem
PC/Mac: Save game bloating/Ingame clock freezes/Long loading times and ultimately a crash: Post here:
I've seen a few people say: I don't have the issue but I'll me too anyways or others asking people to hit me too even though they don't have issues. Please don't.
Only me too the issues that you actually see in your game for the platforms you actually play
EA can see who clicks
Please everyone. Do NOT report bugs here. I'm not going to make bug reports for you. I'm overwhelmed with everything as it is.
Report them in the bug forum where EA can see them. If you tweet them to me or a guru, chances are they get drowned.
AHQ is the ONLY place to report
This patch is messy and a lot of work to keep the bug forum clean so please before reporting an issue:
- Remove your mods
- Delete the localthumchache file
- Test again
- Check compiled list + first two posts of the forum.
- If unsure, use game issues instead
Thanks much
I really wonder why people keep lying about removing their mods. Did they really do it but not properly or is everyone just too lazy to do it and think it's ok if I just say I did.
There's lots of Mod issues with DHD and it takes a lot of effort to find out cause people 1/2
If your Sim is not progressing their pregnancy then it's because of the Relationship-Telemetry LE. Putting in LeRoi's Mod Fix should help with the issue:
If you are on console or do not want to use mods, play another family until the baby is born.
So this issue:
is def not mod related (several console players have joined in) and is related to certain Sims. It's unclear at this point what the issue is with them (maybe one of the modders can figure it out but they are probably busy updating mods)
There's issues with the gallery not connecting. Some people also get error messages that they need to register the game. It's not you, it's something on EA's side.
Please use this thread if you are affected: or this one:
Today, I want to give a little info about Error Codes in Sims 4. DU brought us many, legit game ones and mod/cc induced ones.
There are Save Error (you can't save the game) and Load Lot Errors (you can't load a certain/some/all lots.
(1/many)
What can you do to support helpers and modders alike ?
1. Do not rush modders to update their mods.
2. Read all the provided sticky information on how to use mods, how to deal with them on patching.
3. Read all the provided info for common issues before asking for help
1/?
Despite the very short list of fixes, many mods are broken with the update.
Please remove your mods before reporting at AHQ.
@luthsthings
also has an awesome list as always:
If you have one of the following errors:
- Missing base game worlds
- red/black checkered Sims with questions marks
- Invisible Sims
- Missing world textures ...
Please repair your game, that should fix it.
Did some further testing on the NAP stuck commodities issue (the issue that's responsible for active Sims doing NAP stuff they shouldn't).
I'm pleased to say, that it seems they are now properly removed in every situation. I tested an existing save that had them stuck, 1/
@SimGuruKate
This isn't the only issue. I think it also confuses people cause it acts like a filter and not a sort by. So if you search for someone's specific creation, you end up with nothing although there's stuff in the gallery.
Newest and most popular shows everything, Popular now filters
There are a few weird issues going on, especially when playing with residential rentals.
Please make sure you do the following things
- Save often
- Save multiple versions of your build while you are building.
- Make sure your mods/cc is uptodate
(1/?)
Sims 4 is now available on Steam and all packs are currently on sale.
- You'll still need an EA Account and need to connect your steam account to that
- You'll still need Origin and both Origin and Steam will be running in the back while you play
Little Status Update. Seems the patch was quite ok and the issues are indeed fixed (there's still some reports on color mixups with the jewelry)
This one is newly reported
I have finally passed 3000 twitter followers :D and to celebrate this and the new pack which I really like, I would like to do a giveaway for the pack.
RT (make sure to just rt, no comment rt) to enter till March 8th, 23:59 CET

The issue with updating/downloading Sims in EA app SHOULD be resolved (there still people having issues).
There was NO actual update.
Please go Help - App recovery in EA app if you still have the update showing.
If that doesn't help, restart your computer as well.
Guys, not everything you don't like is a bug. I would really appreciate it if you do a) some research what new stuff packs and patches bring, b) report in the tech forum if it you need troubleshooting help, c) remove your mods before reporting.
#TheSims4
Good Morning all. For the moment I'm seeing lots of people reporting stuff on their modded games.
Please folks, test without as it's really hard to tell what's legit and what not.
Testing without means, renaming your user folder and starting a new save game. Test on that.
So after more testing my current theory is as follow:
If you play on long age span, every Sim has a random number of days added each time you go to CAS/Manage World/Possibly travel). This results in the Sims aging up and dying sooner or later.
(1/..)
OK. Time to talk new bugs.
Please me too these if you have them:
- Aging issue:
- Famous Sims:
- Resetting on live streaming:
- Can only invite Sims in the neighborhood:
(1/..)
Still trying to understand everything and had a talk with some modders. Saves CAN break if you saved your game after moodlets disappeared but only with a few moodlets. Break means that certain aspects won't work properly.
Recovering saves might be necessary.
Never ever download whole mods folder from others. This hasn't been a bright idea in the past and now it's become downright dangerous.
The only good place to get mods/cc is on the creators site.
Please be aware that this patch does not fix already lost Father Winter Babies (I checked) or messed up ages (I checked). You will need to load pre-GF-save backups to get those back or use MCCC to fix your ages.
New to the Sims 4 but things not working properly? ⬇️ 👀
➡️Answers HQ - The official EA Sims 4 help forum
➡️Crinrict's PC Site -
➡️BluebellFlora's Mac Site -
➡️Carl's Sims Guide -
So I tested a few broken saves I had with error codes and they do all seem fixed.
Still got endless loading on one save but saw improvement on another (possible that I tested the wrong save though as I have a few states on that one)
Instead of thanking everyone individually for all the kind words (cause you know .. busy :D), I'm doing one post in my timeline and hope everyone sees it:
Thank you. That was a great pick-me up after this crazy week.
Hugs to all

@elenaplyr
I understand most of the cheats you've taken away but I don't understand resetObjects. It's been used by so many to fix their games, so it's kinda an important cheat.
I would actually love to have a deleteObject cheat added :D
Folks, we at AHQ really are trying to help everyone but if you don't answer questions, refuse to remove your mods and just post: I have this too despite there being SEVERAL answers and suggestions, there's just nothing anyone can do to help you.
Remember: If you have any question marks on Sims or floor tiles, repair your game. It's an incomplete installation issue.
Also, check on your antivirus software if nothing is blocking stuff.
If you're experiencing question Mark Sims, missing worlds, missing textures or other oddities in your game after patching, please repair your game through Origin before making any threads.
This is probably still a thing: but easily solvable
I don't know about you guys but I just don't like that new check mark on the dialog next to the ok.
What was wrong with just having the OK (or yes and no or whatever) ?
Modders are updating their mods as we speak (or not and that's ok too).
NEVER rush them and don't be rude. You can check if they have lists on what's updated or check Luth or Scarlets lists.
Again, it's about finding info yourself. It's out there.
Please avoid asking me for updates. This is why I've created this wonderful excel document you can always check at anytime. I'm usually logged into it anytime I am updating mods.

Long Thread. Please read everything and don't take tweets out of context. Thank you.
This is again Re: Groundhog Day bug (aka, game goes back in time on transition/not saving).
Disclaimer: I have not read anything in that thread since the last time I posted about this.
So - I trust you have done your backups and either removed your mods/cc and/or turned off automatic updates by now to be ready for the big patch tomorrow. .. It will be big and mods/cc will break. Make sure you keep your save games safe and start a new one for testing the patch.
So, please do your own research (by using your preferred search engine) before asking for help and if you still do need help, be nice about it and be patient.
Crin out.
New Issues so far:
- LE with festival stereos
If you have issues with entering buy/build, make sure you get the newest version of UI Cheat Extension
If you have Missing roof and wall patterns, missing base game worlds, question mark sims, night skys in CAS repair your game.
