MCCC and BE are Mods, leaving them in your Mods folder means your game is modded and is not vanilla. Don’t waste your time, don’t waste our time, don’t waste EA’s time. And don’t lie about it. Too many people lie about removing their Mods, it’s baffling. #TheSims4

Hi Everyone, it's that time again. New EP.
To keep sane, there's currently a few measurements in place in the bug forum: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim...

Post saying: I only have MCCC or this and that mod WILL be moved to the mods forum. Please test without or post in the mods forum.

Thanks you.

It looks like building r-rentals on penthouses currently cause white screens and endless loading screens.

Try this method: forums.ea.com/idea/the-sim... and revert the lot to a residential one.

If you ever needed visual proof as to why apps that claim to "clean" your Mac of unwanted files should never be used, see this picture from someone's post seeking help on the EA Forums.

Just because the game is broken doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be trying to play it. Where’s your sense of adventure?

The Sims 1 is back! But only on Windows. Here’s how to play it on a Mac

The nostalgia is immense and Jerry Martin’s music is still as good 25 years later. But only for Windows users. 25 years ago Maxis released the original Sims game and it was superb. Silly, qui…

EA have nothing to do with TS2 for Mac. It was licensed to Aspyr.

How has TS3 been optimised? PC version received an update to fix an Intel CPU issue. No improvements were made to the game, it was a compatibility issue. Same as the 64-bit update release for Mac in 2020.

Do you regularly download lots from the Sims 4 gallery ? Please do these things before doing so:

- Backup important saves
- Test your game if they work after downloading (endless loading is a big issue still)
- Switch lot types before downloading and placing something (has a few issues)
