  • Sticks head out of bunker and sniffs the air. A patch? to patch the patch? Dives back into the bunker and goes and plays offline for another couple of days. See ya's.
  • Heads for patch fallout bunker. Plays offline for the next few days.
  • Well, after all the fun of the fair yesterday per my post. Latest news is, IT Works!!!!!. And, all I had to do was make new folders for Saves and Mods. Then, transfere, bit by bit, every thing from the original folders to the new ones. Only took most of the day and half the night. Still no wiser as to why it stopped…
  • Only one issue here. Not sure if it was a download from the gallery or the small download of bits from EA today. BUT. My game refuses to start at all now. I've added no new mods to the game. Have downloaded but not yet installed the TwistedMexi script, to hunt bad mods as advised in the EA Answers forum. PS, I did find all…
  • I was on the gallery not long ago and it seems to be working. Will admit I can now no longer get the game to start. So something odd has happened for sure. There was an update of those small addons from EA this morning, wonder if that has caused trouble?
  • And it just happened again. ..... Well, whatever the trouble is, I am still logged to the gallery, still able to download to my library. Maybe it's just EA grumbling about the backdoor key. ( I may have changed the locks, ROFL)
  • Pinches nose, holds breath and dives into the deep end again. PS. wish me luck :D
  • Sooooooo! When can wee look forward to a patch to patch the patch? Another 2 1/2 months? Meanwhile our game is pretty much unplayable.
  • Monet, there is a teeny bit of good news. IF you play offline it doesn't pulse and blink. It IS however still there being annoying and insulting to us. There is so much so wrong about this latest update, they may as well work out how to a backdate for us and FAST!
  • Well, I took a chance on this update, as I was about to go and buy the rental pack. MY money stays in my pocket after 2 hours of EVERYTHING going wrong after updating. Game failing to load on every teleport to a new lot or world. Game dresser code overiding all my settings and clothing choices from CAS. Seems EA/Maxis…
  • Sooooo, as long as you don't play it the way EA\Maxis intended it is pretty stable? Well, it is new real estate and seems to be nice scenery. I might just give it a go with an older save file. Thanks all.
  • I have seen this bad bug a lot recently myself. Not just mixologysts, I sent my sim to cafe's and restaraunts as well. No staff at any of them, customers lining up and milling around but no service staff ever show up. And it is happening now at shops as well, even the thriftea shop at Copperdale now. It's getting worse.
  • Well, I woke up alive again this morning, so that's always a good way to start the day. And, I just logged out of a virtual reality world after performing at a live concert for people all over the world. It's nice to be famous and yet nobody knows me lol.
  • @ Simply Jen. Thanks, seems to have been just something slow in the web as a whole. Only three hours of wasted time and network bandwidth, doing a full game repair, and a trip to the shops. and woohoo, "suddenly", the EA App has decided I DID update the game after all. Shrugs!
  • At least your game runs and recognises it has been updated. I have updated and relogged three times to the EA App so far today and the stupid app still wants me to update the game and won't start it. Edit: And now, a game repair later. GRRRRR.
  • EA App was updated this morning. It's found a new trick now. When playing offline the EA App suffers from some mysterious "serious unrecoverable error" and needs you to restart the app and relog to the servers. Oddly enough, the game Sims 4 is fine and will keep running smoothly unless you save and exit the game. There…
  • IF I ever get it to work I might give it a score, but right now< it gets a Minus 10 from me.
  • There is so much wrong with this latest patch and pack that for me it is unplayable. I had to fully disable mods and scripts, just to get it to show in the world view screen, restarted the game with mods and scripts enabled again and Growing Together was gone again. Lost months of games and all faith in EA\Maxis has gone.
  • I have spent the last 3 days trying to get the Growing Together pack running. In between hunting down and deleteing out of date mods. Finally got it to make an appearance today when I totally disabled all mods. Great! I thought. Closed the game, re-enabled my nods, restarted the game. NO Growing Together, again. It seems…
  • Here's a fun bug. I bought, downloaded and installed that new pack for my game today. So far it hasn't actually showed up in my game. So yeah total negative from me EA\Maxis.
  • Ahh, good. So, it's not just me and my shiny new PC having the troubles. Updated the EA App. then updated the game. Then, paid for and downloaded Copperdale and Growing together packs. waited and waited, finally it all got down and installed. That's when all the new shiny bugs began to bite. Sims can't travel from home…
  • It's OK boys and girls. The gallery has just come back online after some maintainence.
  • OK. Today Jan 26 I started the EA App, to find it needed an urgent important update. Clicked OK. It updated. Seems OK so far.
  • Well, at least it's working, including in offline mode, with all my save games still in place.
  • Yep, fired up Origin today and have been finally "forced" to download and install the EA app. Let's see what sort of mess this makes! Edit, 5 minutes later. It's black, the interface is not at all nice to look at, it seems clunky compared to the origin interface, I hope they change that soon.
  • And. After all that, when I logged to the gallery, NOT a thing did I notice had changed. Maybe it's because I don't use nasty hashtags like those reported! Either way, Much ado about nothing.
  • LOL, a "small" update? 6 Gigs is not that small. And why the game when it's only for gallery loads? Oh well, update in progress.
  • I just found this updated mod, that will ease your fears. Actually the version I downloaded will block all new fears. https://modthesims.info/d/670779/fearless.html @CrazyFrog try it out.
  • Having the same problem, the fix is to NOT use the default MS account for daily use. Go into settings\add user and make a new Offline user account, you still have to run the Sims 4 system folders in the main documents folder but it doesn't actually go to MS One Drive. I even went to the extent of uninstalling One Drive,…
