    I have two alien babies that AREN'T MINE, while in build mode I placed to alien bassinets and once I placed them a random baby appeared in the bassinets, they give no hint of when they're hungry because I haven't seen them sleep or cry once, and they're not even a part of my household. I my original plan was to age them up, but no, that would be to simple, while I can interact to feed and change diapers, I can't age them up, they just drop the action, so now I'm stuck with them. I'm thinking about leaving them until child protective services show up, but I'm worried they'll take my actual baby (yeah now I have three.. SURPRISE)

    Sorry to post twice but I forgot to add this in, I've seen allot about the mod created by dead pool (or something like that lol) but when I tried to download it McAffee said that it is dangerous and contains viruses. I can't get a new laptop if I destroy this, and I don't currently have a virus protector so I have nothing to stop it from giving me a virus.

    Hello @Ashlynn_Nadette
    You can go into build mode and delete the bassinets, and this will make the babies disappear.

    Try building a small room around the bassinets, then delete that small room.

    MCCC mod is very safe.It doesn’t give viruses. There are many simmers who use that mod, and the modder is quick to issue updates to the mod if it becomes broken due to a patch.

    Hello! So, since updating my game last, I have been unable to use all but about 4 cheats in the game. For example, motherlode still works but I can't use the skills or pregnancy cheats. Please advise.

    Hello @Emmitaylor
    Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps. There may still be remnants of the mods/cc in your caches.

    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

    Hello @Emmitaylor
    I am sorry that you are having these issues.

    Try starting the game in windowed mode and see if that helps
    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/playing-the-sims-4-in-windowed-mode

    Try turning off origin in-game and see if that helps the issue.. To do that, go to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture. Click on “Game Properties”. Then untick the box that enables origin in-game

    [quote="rosemow;c-16580009"][quote="Greebo8e;c-16578426"]Hi has anyone else had the issue where they dont have the new traits that you can buy with reward points


    [/quote]

    Hello @Greebo8e
    You need to own the Seasons pack to have the seasonal themed rewards traits,
    If there isn’t the option to buy the reward traits in the reward store, and if you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Remove the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder.
    Then start the game and test to see if the rewards traits are there. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem.

    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

    I really hope to get help through this post.... I'm not sure how I'm gonna get help without posting a picture or something to explain the problem but my problem is that the metal in the Sims 4 isn't shining anymore and I really wanna make it shine again. I remember making a dome and made the texture to be metallic but then maybe after the update the glossiness of the metal was gone and I've tried to get it back but I really don't know how. I alos tried to look up the problem on Google and I hadn't gotten anything so pleas help me with this or at least lead me to the way to fix it.

    I'm not understanding the question to be honest & how do I know if it's with cc or not?

    Was the glossiness how the metal was originally when your sims collected it, and now it isn’t glossy?

    Actually it's not a collectable object but yes originally it had this amazing glossiness and now it has disappeared for no reason. I believe some certain things in the game would have the glossiness effect like some of the bathroom floors and walls but not this texture. I'll bring you its name soon so far I can't remember what's it called.

    Hello
    Try making sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.
    Try altering the graphics settings in game options and see if that helps. Higher the graphics serrings.

    I keep getting MCCC error messages, about Last Exception files. I looked through the newest Last Exception file and this is the exact error line "RuntimeError: TalkingToilet_UseSanitize" What do I need to do to fix this? Will simply replacing the toilets in my house with different ones fix this problem?

    Hello @ShaeGrey
    Try selling the talking toilet and see if that stops the error messages, Then test by buying the talking toilet again and see if the error issue occurs again.

    Not sure if this is where I post but I've been experiencing a number of bugs sine the gardening update. I can deal with the routing issues, Sims teleporting and other bugs but the appliances continuing to break is flipping me off to no end. My appliances are fine as long as I don't expand my house. Once I go in build mode and expand my house the appliances break. If the game actually allows my Sim to repair an item the item will break with the first rain. I could understand if I didn't have a roof but I will put more then 1 roof to make sure I cover every angle. Despite this my appliances still break when it rains. There are times when Sims are repairing indefinitely and the sound that's made when something breaks continually chimes.
