[NEEDS SAVES] Sims 4: Crashing (console player)
I’m having an issue with my game crashing and closing every time I try and travel. It has been bad for a number of weeks but is getting worse since the latest sims delivery to the point I’m experiencing a crash and close anytime my sim is travelling and as I work in an active career (scientist) I’m stuck and can’t progress. This is a really frustrating bug and making me not want to play. Please help. I’m on an Xbox one.Solved9.4KViews25likes364Comments[FIXED][PS4] Sims 4 Random Crashing Patch 1.33

Product: The Sims 4 Platform:Xbox Series S Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? 1.50.7.2300 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Courtyard oasis, island living, luxury party, laundry day, snowy escape, vintage glamour, nifty knitting, jungle adventure, realm of magic, bowling night, cats and dogs, my first pet, outdoor retreat, country kitchen, throwback fit, toddler, dream home decorator, fitness, romantic garden, dine out, movie hangout, discover university, gnome on the go, perfect patio, spa day, kids room, industrial loft, parenthood, backyard, Strangerville, Moschino, animal hats, tiny living, city living, get famous, life of the party, get to work, up all night, cottage living, get together, seasons, cool kitchen, grims guitar, Incheon arrivals, fashion street, blooming rooms, paranormal, eco living (not installed) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It occurs randomly during gameplay on my console after a few hours. What happens when the bug occurs? In the middle of gameplay the game stops suddenly and I get a blue loading screen with spinning plumbob and a message that says "We are updating your graphics settings so that you can continue to enjoy playing The Sims 4". What do you expect to see? If there is something I need to change on my console settings myself, I expect it to tell me what to do to avoid this happening. I haven't changed any settings myself and can't find any mention of this message anywhere affecting others. I've done a console reset twice and reinstalled all my content twice. I've power cycled numerous times. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes Please describe the patch or change you made. It started a few months ago around the time I started to get a lot of crashing on save and exit and sometimes on travel or CAS then eventually on loading too. I already mentioned this on the feed about crashing on save and exit but it was suggested the 2 things weren't linked. It started after installing cottage living if memory serves me correctly. I'm extremely unhappy with the stability of the Sims 4 especially after purchasing a next gen Xbox specifically for this game after my Xbox one couldn't cope with all the content I had, it works fine for it's new owner with several games installed. I've had months of crashing on my brand new console and the feed on that subject has had no serious engagement from the Sims team, I've even reached out directly. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it myself but a lot of the research I'm doing mentions that graphics issues can cause crashing. So I want a definitive answer from devs or someone on the subject. I've spent so much money but every day I have issues, it takes 3 attempts to load my game now and I often have to restart my console in the middle of loading as it freezes. I play around 4/5 hours every single day. The 2 things did start around the same time so instead of putting up with the message I'm trying to get it resolved. If there is something that I need to change on my console to avoid this then I need to know, I've had enough of it now. If it's not linked to crashing then ok, that needs investigation for all of us separately as we have already reported. But everything I'm reading says graphics issues are a big factor in crashing. I had no problems with my brand new console before Cottage Living. I'd uninstall it if I hadn't used it in so many households.

Edited (June 2020) - With the latest patch, we have added a new Controls Overlay Reminder that shows up throughout CAS, Gallery, Live Mode and Build Mode which should make it easier for new Simmers to jump in and not need to remember all the controls. If you don’t want to be reminded and you know all the controls by heart, you can turn off the Controls Overlay Reminder in the Game Options > Other menu Hi Simmers, We have seen quite a few questions and discussions surrounding the controls so I thought this is the perfect opportunity to put our heads together and share some tips & tricks regarding controls. I'll start with the basics and a few not so basic, if you have tips of your own to share drop a post below. I will keep updating this post with all the new tips that come in 🙂 BASIC CONTROLS FOR XBOX BASIC CONTROLS FOR PLAYSTATION ADVANCED TRICKS Live Mode: Open cheats bar: Xbox: Press both the left and right triggers and bumpers (LT + RT + LB + RB) PlayStation: Press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 all at the same time Heads up: You will need to introduce testingcheats on to use cheats. If you use testingcheats, achievements will be disabled for the current save game. Show cheat options when clicking on Sims/objects (equivalent to Shift + click on PC): Xbox: press B + A. Make sure to press B first, and then A while holding B. PlayStation: press O + X. Make sure to press O first, and then X while holding O. Lock panels like the needs panel: press the right stick to pin an open panel. Clear notifications window: select the notification window, then press Right Trigger (Xbox)/R2 (PS4) to clear all the messages out. (Thanks to @PoptartJuniper here) Sell items in Sims inventory: (Thanks to @PoptartJuniper) Individual items in stacks: open the stack using the Right Trigger (Xbox)/R2 (PS4) while having the stack selected in the inventory, then press Y (Xbox)/Triangle (PS4) in an individual item to sell it. Stacks: while having the stack selected in the inventory, press Y (Xbox)/Triangle (PS4). Check goals for social events: (Thanks to @SimGuruKuxiku) Xbox: Press the X button to toggle goals on/off PlayStation: Press the [SQUARE] button to toggle goals on/off When goals are toggled on, you should also see them popping up at the top of your screen once the event started. Also, the description of each event type will get a line added to the top informing you about the challenge reward that you could get when closing off the event and its goals successfully. Buy/Build Mode: Toggle between grid / half grid / free object placing: This will allow you to place objects outside the grid. Xbox: Press the left trigger (LT) PlayStation: Press L2 Rotate objects: while having an object selected: Xbox: press LB or RB. PlayStation: press L1 or R1. Rotate objects to any angle: while having an object selected: Xbox: press LB/RB at the same time, then right stick to rotate. PlayStation: press L1/R1 at the same time, then right stick to rotate. Rotate floor tile: triangle (PS4) or Y (Xbox) while using the single floor tile tool. Toggle between full floor tile/quarter of a floor tile: square (PS4) or X (Xbox) while using the single floor tile tool. Toggle full room and 1 wall when painting: R1 or L1 (PS4) - either one of the Bumpers (Xbox) when using painting tool. Also applies when placing floor tiles or windows. Move one side of the eaves on the roof: Xbox: select the eaves with A and while it is selected, hold X and drag. A and X need to be pressed at the same time. PlayStation: select the eaves with X and while it is selected, hold square and drag. X and square need to be pressed at the same time. (Thanks to @electricfizz here) Change object size: while having an object selected: Xbox: press both triggers + left (smaller)/right (bigger) PlayStation: press L2 and R2 + left (smaller)/right (bigger) Change object elevation: introduce the cheat 'bb.moveobjects on' to activate moveobjects. Once active, while having an object selected: Xbox: press both triggers + up/down PlayStation: press L2 and R2 + up/down CAS: Clear filters: Xbox: Press X to open the filter and then Y to clear the filters with a category selected. PlayStation: Press square to open the filter and then triangle to clear the filters with a category selected. (Thanks to @PoptartJuniper here) Are you missing something in the list?

Please read through Controls for Sims 4 on Console for the full list of controls, including how to open the cheat panel and which key combinations to use, along with some frequently used cheat controls. There's a guide here on the full list of cheats available. Not all cheats are available to console users. https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/cheats.php Cheats that previously worked may not work anymore Cheats won't work Cheat Controls, and Cheat Codes will not be covered here. Please read the links above. Useful Info Cheats disable Achievements and Trophies. The exception is bb.showliveeditobjects (reference) and bb.moveobjects (reference) (There may be others but those are the only ones I have seen officially commented on). Most Cheats must be entered in Live Mode. Some cheats do not require testingcheats to be on. If you are having trouble, try turning testingcheats off and then enter the cheat again. Make sure you are typing the cheat in the cheat box and not in the "search" box. The search box has a character limit. Some build cheats require a blank search for the hidden and debug objects to appear. "Open the Search panel in Build/Buy and press RT (Xbox One) / R2 (PlayStation 4) to apply a blank search." (Patch Notes Here) then scroll to the bottom of the items for all the hidden/debug/live edit objects.

An issue has been identified when playing The Sims 4 Growing Together on PlayStation or Xbox. When encountered, this issue can result in a sudden and unwanted change to your Sim's skin tone, hair style, and clothing. Please follow the guidance shared here to avoid this issue until a game update is available for these platforms. If you have a child in your household, you should watch for your child to receive the uncomfortable "Loose Tooth" moodlet. This moodlet can appear after a child wakes up from sleep, or participates in a strenuous physical activity. When you see the "Loose Tooth" moodlet on your child, you should then click on that Sim and select the "Pull Out Loose Tooth" interaction as soon as possible. Things to avoid: Avoid letting the "Loose Tooth" moodlet naturally expire. Avoid your Child aging up to a Teen while the "Loose Tooth" moodlet is active.EA_Cade3 years agoCommunity Manager7.2KViews10likes0Comments[Read First] Sims 4 Console Troubleshooting Guide

I have spent a lot of money on this game. I own every add on but one (The Romantic Garden). I have just now started to have issues. I have played for a year straight and crashed once or twice. Now I can not save or travel in the game at all without being sent back out to the loading screen. I see this has been an on going problem with people for some time now. Are you working on a fix or was this a huge waste of money? Is there an update that will help? Please?22KViews9likes4Comments[FIXED] Save Error 22
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:Microsoft XBOX One Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? 1.21.40.2300 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into a save and try to save the game? What happens when the bug occurs? I would open a save file, play for a little bit then try to save over the last time I saved and it would tell me something along the lines of save error, and then if I just exit to main menu it deletes my save completely. I've lost two saves that I've been playing with for a long time. What do you expect to see? I expect to save my games without them being deleted. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I would take a photo of it but I'm not risking losing another save.Solved23KViews9likes448Comments
