    Ok, thank you so much! I've never played with more than one save game before and it says recovering a previous save will create a new save game. Is there possibly a thread about multiple save games and how they work/how to use them that you could direct me to? I've always wanted to use them, but I've been a little nervous. Thanks again for your help! > @rosemow said:

    > Hi, so I don't really know how to use this forum and I've tried to find other threads with problems like mine, but none of them have helped me solve anything. I found that a majority of my sim's photos have been deleted from their inventories. There are a few left of each photo category, but not nearly as many of there were. There may have been other things deleted from their inventories, I'm not 100% sure. I have checked the household inventory, they're not there. I tried repairing the game via origin, but the problem remains. I don't use any CC or mods. I don't understand what happened and I don't think it was caused by traveling/working. The only monumental thing that happened was the mother gave birth, but I don't think that would have anything to do with it? Help?

To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture.

    Hello @ruby_s1mmer
    This picture may help
    PsGlOPc.png
    When you press the ‘ new game “ button on the main screen of the game, this begins a new game. You can play it, then when saving it, give it a name. When you next play the game, instead of pressing the play button, press the “ load “ button on the main screen. This will take you a menu of your save games, You can then click on and load which save game that you want to play.
    I hope this helps you :)

    Hello
    Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

    You may like to post feedback on this AHQ EA thread if the issue continues

    I have an issue where in the "settings" part of the game, nothing comes up! It just says "general" and when you click that, it remains blank! I tried to uninstall all my mods, repair the game, etc. Also, the checkmark in the clothing portion of CAS seems to be broken. The place where you change the gender of your sim is warped and unaccessible. This has made my game unplayable, so if anyone could help, I'd be very grateful!

    Hello @LadyCarolinaRose
    There has been many mods broken by the recent patches.
    If you have the 'More CAS Columns'' or “UI Cheats Extension”mods they are broken. It would be best to remove them and download /install the updated versions. This is a link to a list of some of the other broken/updated mods/cc
    http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/935494/broken-mods-jungle-adventure-feb-2018

    Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then delete the cache files
    https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-cache-files
    Then load your game and see if the issues remain

    Hello @Simmer051999
    The mods/cc need to go into the Documents-Electronic Arts -sims 4 -mods folder. You are accidentally putting it in the wrong folder.
    It needs to go into the Sims 4-mods folder. You are putting it into the Electronic Arts -mods folder.
    Try doing this and see if the cc appears.

    Hello@Simmer051999
    I am sorry that you are having these issues. Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Launch the game, and a new mods folder will be generated. Exit the game. Then put your mods/cc from the old mods folder into the newly generated mods folder and test to see if the issues remain.
    If a new mods folder is not generated, then the game is using a mods folder somewhere else on your computer. Do you use One Drive? If you do, this can cause issues. It would be best to unsync One Drive and Sims 4 if you do.
    https://support.office.com/en-US/article/Turn-off-or-uninstall-OneDrive-f32a17ce-3336-40fe-9c38-6efb09f944b0
    Try seeing if there is a mods folder in One Drive or in another part of your computer that the game may be using instead of the one that is in your Sims 4 folder,

    Hi @rosemow,
    Thank you so much for this thread, I've been a member for over 4 years but never posted and now I'm having some issues with the archaeology table on Jungle Adventure. When my sim uses the table either to authenticate an object or to uncover a dirt pile she begins to use it and then almost freezes and doesn't make any progress with the task for a few hours. I've tried waiting this out at normal and triple speed but it doesn't make a difference. When this happens she remains stood in front of the table and she still has the action as the current one in her queue but she almost rocks back and forward on her feet and remains idle. It's really frustrating because it's taking so long to do anything with the archaeology table, and I have tonnes of artifacts I just brought home from Selvadorada. While in Selvadorada it was slow using these actions but it wasn't this bad. When I have managed to uncover and authenticate an object and ask my sim to put it back in her inventory, she makes the swiping motion, as if she is grabbing the artifact but it remains on the table and there is nothing I can do other than Reset (debug) her and get her to do the action again. This usually works for the inventory but doesn't work for actually using the table. I don't use any mods, only cheats. The other expansion packs I have are: Get to work, Outdoor Retreat, Cats and Dogs, City Living and Vampires. I'm not sure if this is a bug other people are having issues with or just me but I can't find an existing thread. I hope someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Chloe

    I'm so sorry, I am probably so annoying. I tried both of those and it is still not working. Would it be okay if I PMed you screenshots of what it looks like on my end? Perhaps I'm just not seeing something. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness you are wonderful! :)

    Hello
    You don’t need to be sorry, and you are not annoying!
    When you moved the mods folder to the desktop, was a new mods folder generated when you loaded the game?
    Also, do you use One Drive?

    No I do not have One Drive . I did try to do what you said with the mods folder, but It did not seem to work it is so bizarre. Could my mods folder in my sims 3 game have anything to do with it? although I do not see why that would cause a problem. thank you again! :)

    No I do not have One Drive . I did try to do what you said with the mods folder, but It did not seem to work it is so bizarre. Could my mods folder in my sims 3 game have anything to do with it? although I do not see why that would cause a problem. thank you again! :)

    Hello
    The game may be using a saves folder that is not in the correct Documents-Electronic Arts -sims 4 folder.Try using the search bar on your computer by typing in “ mods “ , and search to see if there may be another mods folder on your computer that the game is using instead of the one directly in the sims 4 folder.

    Hi @rosemow,
    Thank you so much for this thread, I've been a member for over 4 years but never posted and now I'm having some issues with the archaeology table on Jungle Adventure. When my sim uses the table either to authenticate an object or to uncover a dirt pile she begins to use it and then almost freezes and doesn't make any progress with the task for a few hours. I've tried waiting this out at normal and triple speed but it doesn't make a difference. When this happens she remains stood in front of the table and she still has the action as the current one in her queue but she almost rocks back and forward on her feet and remains idle. It's really frustrating because it's taking so long to do anything with the archaeology table, and I have tonnes of artifacts I just brought home from Selvadorada. While in Selvadorada it was slow using these actions but it wasn't this bad. When I have managed to uncover and authenticate an object and ask my sim to put it back in her inventory, she makes the swiping motion, as if she is grabbing the artifact but it remains on the table and there is nothing I can do other than Reset (debug) her and get her to do the action again. This usually works for the inventory but doesn't work for actually using the table. I don't use any mods, only cheats. The other expansion packs I have are: Get to work, Outdoor Retreat, Cats and Dogs, City Living and Vampires. I'm not sure if this is a bug other people are having issues with or just me but I can't find an existing thread. I hope someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Chloe

    Hello @Chloewright96
    I am sorry that you are having this issue. Try selling the archaeology table and buying a new one, then test to see if the issues remain.
    If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair

    Thanks for making this thread!! This is about the MCCC mod, I hope I'm not breaking any rules by asking about it?? But I've had the mod for a while and I love it but every time my sim woohoo's now, their relationship level goes down with the person they woohood with and they get a negative relationship sign above their heads after they've done the deed. I've tried googling answers but can't find anything. They're married to each other too so I don't think it has anything to do with their relationship status. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

    Hello @Teena94
    Does this issue still occur if you remove the mod? Do you have the added Woohoo addition to the MCCC mod? If you do, and this is causing issues, it would be best to post on the MCCC mod discord server
    https://discord.gg/AUJ8RAa
    We arent allowed to discuss the Woohoo mod here as it is against forum rules due to the game being teen rated.

    No it's only there with the mod. Okay, I'll go ask on the discord site. Thanks so much for responding!
