Can I have the options of not having aliens please. Not everyone likes aliens and I seem to be having an increase of female aliens trying to be part of the society all of a sudden!
Hello
If you use mods, MC Command Center mod has settings that can reduce the number of aliens the game generates. The settings sre in the occult module of the mod https://deaderpoolmc.tumblr.com
I'm not seeing anyone else having the issue I currently am...some people are reporting lag but only at morning/evening? My game is unplayable. Everything is extremely choppy - sound is completely fine, but if I say zoom in/out or watch my sims do an action, it just cuts frame by frame (like if you were to take your game and take a picture every second or so). I can see it in scrolling in CAS as well - not as bad, but something's off. It's hard to explain, but the best words to describe it would be choppy and jerky.
I do use a lot of mods and CC, but the issue isn't related to that as I've played the game with an empty mods folder and the issue still persists. Repair game didn't do anything. I tried moving my tray to the desktop and starting up the game, but it's still there.
I'm not really sure what's going on, anytime I've had an issue in the past, the above three methods worked for me. Hopefully someone knows what's going on, since it doesn't seem like anyone else is having the same issue as me.

Hello @CosmicJewel
Make sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.
Try turning off origin in-game and see if that helps. 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
If the issues remain, could you please post your DxDiag info here.
To gather a DXDIAG on your computer, do this :
Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
Type dxdiag in the text field
Click OK
Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report
After you have saved your dxdiag info on your computer, go to the pastebin site https://pastebin.com
and copy/paste the dxdiag info into the white box there. Press the button to create the new paste/pastebin text file.
Then post here in this thread the web address of your dxdiag info that is on the pastebin site. You will need to replace the http in the address with h.t.t.p as you are a new member and can’t post links.
Hello @CosmicJewel
I am so sorry but your computer doesn’t meet the recommended requirements to run the game and game packs
You have a weaker processor than is required. You also have an integrated processor video card. It is using the same computer ram along with the game , origin, windows and other programs that you have on your computer. These things are causing the issues.
I am so sorry
You are also getting low in free hard drive space. It would be best to try to free up some space by removing old programs you no longer use, or transfer photos to an external drive.
If the issue occurred after installing Cats and Dogs ep, you could try disabling the pack and see if that helps. https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2017/03/disable-single-packs/
Try playing in laptop mode, and in windowed mode. Try lowering the ingame screen resolution in game options.
Close all other open windows in the desktop when playing the game and see if that helps.
If you have another computer it would be best to play on that if it is has higher computer specifications.
If you decide to purchase a new computer now or into the future and would like help and advice in getting a computer that can handle the game and packs, it would be good to post on a thread in the Sims 4 Tech section and simmers will assist you http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/the-sims-4-technical-discussions

That doesn't make sense...I've played TS4 for three years flawlessly on this computer. I did recently get Cats and Dogs, but it worked fine. This issue only popped up after patching. I'll test in laptop mode and windowed mode and lowering resolution and post again.

Hello.
Each patch and pack adds extra pressure on the computer to run the game. The patch may have caused these issues. Sometines the game can be working okay, then the next time it doesn’t work. Having a lot of cc can also add to the strain on the computer to run the game. I am sorry
I'm not sure if this is from the latest patch or not, but the last time I tried it it was working... soooo...
Anyway, my kid sim is sick and I got a notification that he should stay home from school to rest up and get better, that's fine, done it before. However, this time there was no option to have him call into school sick. I tried to have his older brother (the household adult) call in sick for him. I couldn't do that either, the only option was to write an excuse note. Which I did. It just takes forever and he tries to go to school if you don't do it soon enough.
Just wondering if it's a bug or if the option for kids to call in sick to school was removed on purpose for some reason. Thanks!

Hello
There should still be option to call in sick for school.
Move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back 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
Not sure if this is patch related or Laundry Day related, and none of this is in any way a big thing or hindering my gameplay, but thought I should mention them somewhere so the devs can take a peek at it when they have time from fixing more serious bugs.
My freshly (just before Laundry Day) created sim gets strange wishes. She wants to Get out in the City ("From Apartment Living") although she lives in Brindleton Bay. She also gets a wish to Buy a Wash Tub ("From Having No Laundry Appliances") although she has both the washer and drier in use. Most strangely though, she's received phone calls/text messages from two children she's never met, asking her to come out and play. Like she was a child, although she's a young adult. She was created as a young adult and hasn't even met the children in question since she hasn't really done that much yet at all.
Otherwise Laundry Day has been running smoothly for me and haven't noticed anything weird so far.
@Lumiasta I don't know about most of these, but the "Get out in the city" wish has been an issue for quite a while. I can't remember when it started. In fact, I think it's been there ever since I got the pack this autumn.

I'm having issues with mods. After the January patch this year all of my mods were disabled and once I re-enabled them all the clothes, makeup, hair..etc were missing. They are still in my mods folder and show at start-up but I had to re-apply everything manually. Why did this happen and how can I avoid it in the future?

Hello @Plynns
When you start the game after a patch, and your mods have been disabled, go to game options and re enable the mods/cc but then come out of the game without saving the game. Then reload the game, and your cc will still be on your sims. Because you saved the game before exiting the game after changing the setting, you saved the game without cc being in the game, on your sims.
I've been having issues with the latest patch update. When ever my male sims tend to shower they go in the shower wear base game female dresses. I just want to is there any known fix for this?

Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or "options" file 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 file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.
