    Hello @Thildatull
    If you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.
    Other simmers have found that mods have been causing this issue,

    Hello my problem is, I bought seasons and installed everything was okay, calendar works and all. But when I tried to plant something it said " it is too cold to plant" it was spring so I thought we left winter yet so it was okay, but now it's summer and plants still say "it is too cold to plant" I even tried to build a greenhouse but it was still the same.. Gardening was the sole reason I bought seasons please help :(

    Hello
    If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.

    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 @FlaffyBiscuit
    Do you use One Drive? If you do it could be causing this issue, Try seeing if there is a mods folder in One Drive . The game may be using that mods folder instead of the one in Documents -Electronic Arts -sims 4 folder . One Drive can cause issues,

    If you don’t use One Drive, try using the search bar on your computer , 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.

    OKAY GUYS... I’ve had 8 Butlers die in 5 in-game weeks. I don’t know how they’re dying, there’s nothing obviously killing them lol. Some were old and some were young. What’s killing my butlers??? :'( :'(

    Hello @Moraness_84

    Butters aren’t meant to die in the game. They have a hidden trait that prevents them from dying.

    If you have cc/mods in your game, they may be causing issues.

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

    Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps to prevent this continuing to occur.

    Hello

    Issue:
    Building apartments and changing the furniture. After a while, all the changes reverted back to the original.
    I'm playing only in one world and my changes are reverted in all the different houses/apartments.

    Steps you took for Issue to occur:
    Tried to repair the game. Nothing.
    Tried to recover some older (even some month older versions) version, still missing my changes.

    Where does the bug occur ?:
    I'm playing only in one world and my changes are reverted in all the different houses/apartments. Didn't tried some new changes.

    Mods/CC:
    Yes I'm using custom Mods.

    Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs:
    The Sims4 City Living
    The Sims4: Outdoor Retreat
    The Sims4 Holiday Celebration Pack
    The Sims4 Cool Kitchen Stuff
    The Sims 4 Spooky Stuff

    Occurring since:
    Since the middle of May
    Didn't made any changes by myself.

    Operating system:
    macOS High Sierra

    Any help or suggestions are very welcome. If I can add any more useful information or anything, please let me know.
    Thank you in advance

    Hello @MaruMa
    I am sorry that you have had this issue :(
    If you have tried recovering older versions of your save game, and the issue remained, you may not be able to recover them now.
    Try testing to seeing if the changes that you make to the apartments now, remain when you next play the game.

    Issue:
    Speed/Time buttons squished

    Steps you took for Issue to occur:
    Started the game? x.x

    Where does the bug occur ?
    Bug occurs with any save file and any household

    Mods/CC:
    Only CC (Hairs,Clothing, Accs, etc), no script mods

    Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs:
    All EPs, all GPs, every SP other than Kitchen, Movie, Spooky and Toddler stuff

    Occurring since:
    Latest patch (19th of June)

    Operating system:
    Windows 8

    What I did to try and fix it:
    - Removed every kind of CC I had
    - Repairing the game (doesn't work, getting a downloading error or it freezes at "finishing up")
    - Uninstalling/reinstalling origin + game
    - Resetting the Sims 4 folder

    Can't post links yet, would like to show a picture and lastException files to someone though as I have 2 of them

    Thanks for your help in advance :')

    Hello @Daddlrique
    Try shutting down your computer completely. Restart the computer.
    Remove the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder
    Log into Origin, and try again now to repair the game.
    Launch the game, then start a fresh new save game
    Test to see if the issue remains.

    Just another little question. When you removed the cc, did you check that it had gone from the game?

    @rosemow yes, I started the game again after removing it and didn't have any of the CC in CAS or in-game anymore. So, I followed your steps and after 5 minutes or so it gave me "Error: 327682:0"

    If you are getting that error message when trying to repair the game, try cleanbooting the computer, then going to Origin and repairing the game then.
    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
    I am wondering if the issue with your speed buttons is a result of damaged game files, and so repairing the game may help to fix the issue.

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me or direct me to what may help. I am playing The Sims 4 on a Macbook Air, running iOS 10.13.3, iOS High Sierra. I have been playing with no issue lately, but when I started playing today, I ran into 2 somewhat big issues.
    1. My male sim can't go to his job. I have given him 3 different jobs (military recruiter, Athletic waterperson, and Social Media intern. Each day it comes time for him to go to work, there is no option to 'go to work'. My female sim has no issue, but I'm very frustrated that he can't work, too.
    2. Dialogue boxes that come up for gameplay show no text. Like the ones when you click on a pet and ask 'what's wrong?' or when my sim goes to quit his job, the box that comes up that prompts you to click 'ok' or 'cancel' has no text whatsoever. It is completely blank, with the 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons. Idk if I'm describing it that well since I can't attach pictures. But does anyone know how to fix it/who knows how to fix it? It would be very much appreciated!!

    Hello @jchunat44
    Try doing the solution in this link article and see if that helps with the second issue
    https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/11/codes-instead-of-text/

    With the first issue, try testing after you have done the solution for the second issue and see if the issue remain.
    If you still have issues, and if you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.
    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.
    Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps.

    Thank you so much @rosemow! It turns out that the military and education careers were apparently just mods, so they were causing none of the other careers to work. That seemed to fix both of my issues!
