Thanks Rosemow....you have saved the day. It works.Now what do I do with that old folder. Can I trash it?
Hello @msladnier30 . If you have moved the " options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the old folder into the new sims 4 folder, you can delete the old sims 4 folder from the desktop.
My problem is that whenever I play Sims 3 Pets, all my pets are just black blobs. They're eyes are fine, but their fur is just black. This happens in CAS and in game. It's really driving me nuts and I would like to know what's wrong with my game
Your in the sims 4 section and should be in the sims 3. You need a mid level gaming desktop or higher end gaming laptop to play pets. Its the most demanding ep in the game . If your computer cant render pets its probably under powered to run this ep.
Hey rosemow! So I lost my favorite save file and it's nowhere to be found, you helped me try to get it back and we couldn't do it, so I'm starting it over. I really don't want to lose it again so I was wondering, how do you make and use a back up save file?

Hello @NewbieSimmer<3 .
You can make back up copies of your save game files by making a copy of your Documents-electronic arts- saves folder. This folder contains all of your save game files. Make a copy of the folder and place it on an external drive. Every so often, make another copy of the saves folder so as you keep updated versions of the save files. Instead of saving the whole saves folder, you can also make back up copies of individual save files. This link may help you to work out which file refers to which save game. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/14585710/#Comment_14585710
When in game, use " save as" when saving the game, give that game file another name and that will make a copy of the game. Then when you go to and press the load button ( with the floppy disk symbol on it ) in the main screen of the game, you can choose from the menu which save game to play.

Hello @Lilbug32 .
Try clicking on the repairman and asking him to leave. If you still have issues, try having your sim travel to another lot and back and see if that helps. If the issue remains, shift click on the repairman and add him to your sims household, then go to manage household and delete him or move him to another household.
With the speed issue, are you still able to speed up the game at night , but not at the fastest speed? The speed depends on who is in the home at that time and what the other sims are doing.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature I don't know of. In my main sim house the mother was eaten by a cowplant when the entire family was home. Everyone watched it happen! They were sad for 2 days, no problem, expected.
The problem now is the widower and the teen son start having conversations with the grim reaper but they never actually talk to him. First they stop what they are doing, walk to some other spot on the lot and stand there. The grim reaper appears in the mid-top screen chat window, the grim reaper does not drop down from a queued action. The sims fun drops dramatically! I have to cancel the action. After this happens a large dark wet spot appears some place inside the house.
The headstone is on the lot if this makes any difference.
So, bug or feature?
Ohh. I can't seem to start my own thread today so posting here.

Hello @kvct.
Do they randomly start having conversations with the Grim Reaper? Does it happen very often?
Do you have cc/mods in your game? If you do, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then launch and play the game for a while and test to see if the issue is still there.
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" and "ReticulatedSplinesView" files and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated files/ folders with the old files/folders.
Yes, Rose they start the conversation on their own. It happened fives times yesterday.
I have repaired/ reset folders and completely uninstalled/reinstalled the game. Checked without mods/cc and rebooted the computer.
Each time I go in that game the father or teen son does this at some point.
So not a feature I take it!
Hello
It is not a feature of the game. Try putting the gravestone in the household inventory for a few sim days and see if that helps the issue. Then if the issue doesn't occur again, place the gravestone back and see if it happens again.
Hi, I ran into an issue. I can't seem to create open basements anymore. I've made them before and I have read all the tutorials again to make sure I wasn't doing it wrong. I can no longer remove the ceilings from basements. Any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of.

Hello @Lizilla0505
Could you please post a picture of your build?
Because you aren't a member yet, you can't post pictures or links, but you can upload your pictures to a photo sharing site such as imgur or tinypic , then right click the picture on the photo sharing site and paste the image address link here, but break the image code link up, such as putting h.tt.p.
We can then put the codes back together and post the pictures for you.
Hello there.. I've been having a problem lately.. My engaged sims won't get married. There is a wedding party going on and when I click Get Married (either on the wedding arch, or on the sim) the interaction either gets canceled or people start gathering around, the interaction changes to "Get married to <a random sim from the party>" and then nothing happens. I've been searching for an answer, but all I could find was connected to CC or mods. I have tried removing "groups" of cc, I even removed ALL of it (it was funny how my male was bald, and the bride was in her underwear), but the issue still occurred. :/ The only thing I haven't tried yet was getting married without the party.. I might do that now and update you on how it goes.. I also wouldn't like to use the cheat (since it doesn't count as the Get Married party goal :/)..

I tried everything, but nothing worked. Eloping immediately doesn't work either - I can't even cancel the event (I cancel, it says the event was unsuccessful, but the bar on the top left remains and it doesn't disappear when the time runs out)..

Hello @Spontaneous98,
Are you having issues with other sims getting married in your game, or is it only a particular couple of sims?
Try testing if other sims can get married.
Try starting a new save game. Use cheat codes to build up the relationship of two random sims and then test to see if the wedding issue occurs in that game also. http://simsvip.com/sims-4-cheats-codes/#Relationships
My other Sims did get married by eloping immediately.. I'm going to try planning a wedding and see how that goes. If the problem is only with this particular couple of sims.. what is there to do?

Again, thank you!
Try testing to see how the wedding of the other sims goes. If it goes okay, then try again with your couple and see if they can get married then.
Are the sims that you are having the issues with getting married, created by you or did you download them from gallery?
