@@zarathompson8226 moving your sims out of the house place them somewhere els on the world and bulldoze your house and place it back again from the gallery, move your family back can fix this sometime.
I had problems with crashing and forever loading aswell. Switching off direct x 11 helped me with the crashing problem. After some research i found out that the 'off the grid' challange in build mode caused my forever loading issue...turning that off helped me with that. Sorry for my bad english. Hope this helps someone❤
This video literally saved my game, I had the forever loading screen for more than a month now, I couldn’t find a way to fix it and I lost complete hope in playing it, after 3 weeks of not even trying to touch the game because of the disappointment your video popped up!! I’m so grateful for this because I am able to play my favorite game again!
Dont forget the fact that the 'Off the grid lot challenge' is totaly broken and can make you unable to load any family with that lot trait in the neighbors ending up in a infinite loading screen. i remove that lot trait and i could play normaly my families again. for me it was that game bug not the X11 or x9 switch. :)
Bless you i been crying all weekend..I'm on pc..I have forever loading screen..crashes after loading..& all my sims have the same name & genders..it's Monday (me banging on the table) & it's still doing it..
I think the best thing with this fix is maybe to also make sure your PC runs DirectX11, maybe thats why the crashes were happening, because theres so many users who dont have up to that which is why theres a button now to switch back!
I have never, in my probably 20 years of gaming experience, had so many problems with a game. It’s actually beyond parody. When you buy a game, you should have near complete control over it as YOUR property. When and if you update, playing online or offline, what and if to use a launcher for the game. I feel like every time I boot up this game - if I even get into the HORRIBLE ea-app (wost app ever to exist), I run into a host of involentary updates and changes I don’t even want that mess up my entire game. It’s not unusual that I have to spend half an hour to up to an hour just to get INTO the game. Constant restarts, googling my issues etc.
Yesss, thank you for posting this fix, it worked for me! My game would load in but every icon and thought bubble, would endlessly multiply across the screen and the control panel would flicker white and freeze every few seconds- my game was completely unplayable. If your game’s doing this, the DX11 update was definitely the issue
Thank you SOOO much!! I’ve been so frustrated not knowing why it was forever loading!! I gave up like 20 minutes ago but then found this video, tysm! It worked ❤❤😻 you’re a life saver frrr
I have a Mac. The game will freeze and I’ll have to force quit the game. I can tell while it’s frozen that I’m clicking around and the game is still active but the video locks up no mods. This is a clean install there. I’ve never been any mods in this safe. There are no mods in my game or installed
My Game has been laggy as hell since Love struck update, my game has never been the same....Every update has broken my game with or without mods. to the point im just getting a new LAPTOP to make sure its not me.
I HAD a BIT of lagg issue while I waa playing the Grim Reaper awards and challenge. Week 4. But then it fixed it self thank goodness befor I could continue. .N' I play on console. 👍✌ i was GLAD that I COULD continue to play The grim reaper challange/awards. 👍
My main bug is my cas background is just white. Even if I remove everything the normal one is white too. I will download a custom one and it's white too
My game still crashes but so far no sim disappearing and forever loading screen hasn't happened to me since the last couple updates. I play on Xbox 1. Only time I have sims disappearing is when I start a new game file and forget to disable death on story progression.
I haven't noticed any disappearing sims & I haven't had the eternal loading screen. I usually use a bunch of mods & cc, but for now, except for mccc, I'm playing mod free until after the new pack comes out & modders update their content. My computer is pretty new, which may be one reason I don't have an issue with Directx 11. I'm using Windows 10 instead of 11, which may be another reason. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't experience glitches and issues with the game in general. I'm just not suffering from those particular problems. I'm glad to know about the fix, if I ever do have issues with it. Thank you for sharing the information.
i deleted my mods few months ago and started a new save go tired of mods been outdated and i use dx11 no problems with event for me also i use a house not apartments with the event i heard apartments can cashed problems with event too.
Mine doesn't give me the option to change that at all on my laptop. My game is so frozen the time on the Sims doesn't even move. They are all just standing there like the game is paused. Every time I load into my game. I have to force close my entire laptop cause it won't even shut down. I have ZERO mods. I'm getting really sick of this. I spend more time trying to get my game to work than actually playing lately. Why would I buy more packs if my Sims won't even MOVE.
Chances are you are still on DX9 by default. There is an issue with the sims not recognising some graphics card. Also some people don't have a separate graphics card and aren't set to DX11 by default. You can check the version when you start up the game, on the first screen, the home screen, you can see your version number in the lower right corner. If that mentions DX9, you know are still playing on that version. You can force DX9 or DX11 by adding somethingto the command line in the properties in the EA app.
Dogs have disappeared from one of my family's houses. No, they didn't run away or die. Just gone. Also having a lot of clothing issues, Sims with no shirts or walking around in bras and undies on the street. I've also been disconnecting a lot from EA which has not really been a problem until up to now. So you know, if you go to save it's not working and you're SOL.
@@fantayzia Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070. I can run dx11 no problem with no lag, but I have to put -dx11 in the command line and it keeps reverting back to to 9 every so often, so I figured if I could uncheck this 9 check box you found it might solve the defaulting back to 9. Or at least, that was my plan xD
PLEASE HELP I have been have this REALLY bad glitch where when ever I encounter a loading screen for ANYTHING except the first mode the sims will just break and live mode build mode nothing will work and I don’t know what do 😭😭
The last 3 days i was trying to load my gameplay but i had endless loading screen. Then i figured what was the issues. So basically it's from the grim reaper event, i remember i turned on the lot trait challenge so if you have it turn it off or just delete the load game. I also tried some tutorial how to run your sims faster than viola it worked. And last, broken cc or mods can corrupted your game please go fix it there are some tutorial on yt you can try. In conclusion, the major issues are from EA itself. Goodluck, yall
My game loads pretty fast, but the problem is when it's done loading, it shows a blank screen and goes back to the EA app. So, I can't even switch back to direct x9. I've tried everything. Can someone please help me with this?😔
my game takes like 45 minutes to load (even with no mods or cc, just tested) and even when i get into the game, it doesn't let me interact with my sim or other sims. also pausing, unpausing, and speeding up is glitched too lol.. idk what to do (switching back to directx9 didnt help either)
I think it has to do with the directx11 switch. Remember the game will now run on directx11, not 9. Also alot of mods and cc runs on dx9. Upcoming packs will also run dx11 not 9, so eventually you'll have issues again.
After the Direct x 11 update, my game has been reaching so much only in build/buy, and when I enter game options, direct x 11 is nowhere to be found. For context, I play on my laptop. Do you have any ideas where it could be?
Do you have any tips for when your furniture disappears? Lately whenever I try to place a bed, either a in game one or cc one, it disappears but shows the money being taken out. I don’t know if it’s because of something with all my bed cc or not. If you guys have any tips please let me know, I just want to make a good bedroom for my sim 😭
Hiii 🌸 This happened to me when the Highschool pack first came out. Do you have Sims 4 Studio? (free software but you'll need to create an account) Under the Content Management menu - Batch Fixes - Objects - there's a specific fix for the beds Hope this helps🌺
I left out Twisted Mexi BBB and TOOL mod's plus MCCC mod, since we were advised it upsets the grim reapers reward, Better Exceptions I kept and that has been fantastic letting me what's wrong what to take out and any duplicates, plus I left in the Malware 1.5 in. I kept DX9 changed from DX11.
I have removed my mods and updated them,restart the game so many times,and I can’t even get pass c.a.s. I have so many households saved that I can’t even play with and it’s beyond irritating
on Mac I have had little issues crashing but since I downloaded and have been using the university pack from Black Friday, I'm constantly getting crashes. I have deleted and reinstalled apps. any mcc discord bot has no info... I just do not get whats going on. I have done repair and clear cache.
Did you update all your mods and delete the local thumbcache? Place your mods folder onto the desktop so the game can generate a new one. You can then create a new fresh save game (not your current save game otherwise you’ll be dealing with bald heads among other things) and test out the calendar. This way it can help narrow down if it’s mod or a game bug.
I have a very bad delaying lag. So when i click on my sims or another sim for interactions it takes so long for the options to show and even longer for them to do it.
I couldn't even play today because it kept crashing in the loading screen, to load into the game. Yesterday, my sims kept freezing and weren't able to move but their needs were going down. I had to keep closing my game
My issue is with the Grim Reaper challenge is some of the items you have to buy in build mode Grim Reaper Gramaphone/Phonograph and then buy the Portrait I thought once these items were claimed them they are yours free, including the Grims Cruiser Bike plus The Green Lady's lost tome. I thought once these items are claimed, it will be there in your inventory No. I lost my Batfish don't know what happened there and my Angel Fish. Now since I had my Sim read the green lady's tome my sim put it down somewhere, but I can have a look around but you would think I locate it No. Maybe the Inventory no. So, does that mean I have to buy it again? I'm pulling my hair out.
What if your game keeps crashing whenever you open build mode, specifically for me it crashes immediately after I open the couch menu to pick out a couch.
Im on console and currently im constantly getting error code 0... which deletes save files I even uninstalled. I tried a new save and with the very first save it instantly says error code 0. Im scared to open other saves.
My issue is that the social menu won't even load Like, that's half the game. I deleted 70% of my households and lots, took out mods and cc, no improvement So sick of it!
Anyone else having issues of the game just freezing while saving your build? It happened several times to me last week. I save often bc of past issues of the game crashing and losing my progress. Recently I'll save a build but the circle thingy will just keep going and going but it doesn't finish the save or do anything. ESC doesn't work, I can't minimize or alt-tab. All I can do is end task in task manager and restart the game. No error codes. I don't use mods but I have CC, however this happens with or without the CC. ✌🏻
Was ur sim building menu messed up like everything is on top of eachother if so how did you fix it to be normal I been struggling I already deleted and redownload all my mods to the current update and nothing is working
I cant get the grims favorite flower to complete and get the extra points even though I got the flowers. This is AFTER the game corrupted my 7 year save and now I have to start over, this is terrible game design at this point.
Forever loading screens, crashes and a bunch of broken cc for me. Im cleaning it up now. I just have so much... by the time Im all done it'll be update day again. 🙃
A lot of my mods and cc have now been updated for direct X 11; does anyone know if reverting back to direct 9 would break everything again just in a different way?
i play on playstation so my game doesn’t use direct X11 and with whatever the Sims team has been working on lately is causing my game to crash, again I playstation so I don’t have any mods or cc in my game.
I don't have bugs in the Sims 4 on my console I think everything fixed for me for now anyways but ugh I feel bad for everyone else but for rent is still buggy I can't even go to the world so that's annoying and then I got lovestruck and horse ranch hopefully my game won't be slow but idk if those packs are fixed I hope with life and death pack won't be buggy like the rest were 😢😴🙄
People have more issues than exist, maybe. lmao yeah my game is laggy? It’s a laptop bought in 2017, it’ll not be great. But it runs pretty slay after direct x 11 update
These issues got worse for me overnight, cannot use my gave house or household at the moment! I don't have the option to switch to direct 9, does anyone know how to fix this?
Im on console , I'm wondering if the direct x11 is the issue for my game. Because as soon as the new patch happened that's when my game started glitching bad. I've had small issues before but never this bad. I honestly don't even want to open my game to find out.
My Sim dont sleep and i dont know what to do anymore honestly .. will this be fixed at some point or should i create a new sim? I did create this girl to do the event :c
I physically cannot play my game bc as soon as i go into any loading screen or build mode i will go back into my game but all the buttons around the screen and my sims icons will disappear and it wont let me click on sims so im hoping this will work 💗 Edit: i didnt work so idk what to do now😭😭
My biggest issues is all of my sims will freeze but the time will keep going and their actions will just continue to full up. Usually pausing the game helps but I can’t even pause when this happens //: it’s been happening so much to the point where I can barely play. Now I’m nervous about how more messed up the new expansion/update beforehand is going to make my game ):

A lot of my mods and cc have now been updated for direct X 11; does anyone know if reverting back to direct 9 would break everything again just in a different way?
i play on playstation so my game doesn’t use direct X11 and with whatever the Sims team has been working on lately is causing my game to crash, again I playstation so I don’t have any mods or cc in my game.
Thanks sis
no problem
Hmmm... thought I was the only one having problems
I don't have bugs in the Sims 4 on my console I think everything fixed for me for now anyways but ugh I feel bad for everyone else but for rent is still buggy I can't even go to the world so that's annoying and then I got lovestruck and horse ranch hopefully my game won't be slow but idk if those packs are fixed I hope with life and death pack won't be buggy like the rest were 😢😴🙄
Dine out is even more broken now
My build mode will not show anything not even the thing where you can build or place items do you have anything to fix it!
People have more issues than exist, maybe. lmao yeah my game is laggy? It’s a laptop bought in 2017, it’ll not be great. But it runs pretty slay after direct x 11 update
Constant constant CONSTANT crashing. I have to tap the power button on my laptop to reset it every minute or so.
When i leave cas my game stops working and exits the game...
I have the same issue 😩😩😩
What Pc are you using?
Does the direct x apply to macs too?
My sims were disappearing before Direct X 11 but it's gotten much worse
If you are using gshade with direct x11 can you still switch the direct x9 in the sims options? Or will I need to redo gshade back to direct x9?
Hi, you’ll have to just do a simple reinstall and just tick dx9 again.
i had to reinstall gshade but it’s quick and easy
It isn't just forever loading screens. It is never loading. On top of the fact none of the fishing spots in Sulani work.
Do we need to turn off edge smoothing?
My game logs me out all the time it will freez then kick me out any tips?
What if you don’t have the option for x9 and x11
These issues got worse for me overnight, cannot use my gave house or household at the moment! I don't have the option to switch to direct 9, does anyone know how to fix this?
I love your voice, Fantayzia. Thank you for keeping us informed and helping us with our gameplay and issues. 🫶🏻
awww you’re so sweet, i appreciate that! no problem, happy to help 🫶🏻
Im on console , I'm wondering if the direct x11 is the issue for my game. Because as soon as the new patch happened that's when my game started glitching bad. I've had small issues before but never this bad. I honestly don't even want to open my game to find out.
Im honestly confused bc the direct x9 isn’t in my graphics
I switched it over to direct x9 but my reshade is gone now how do I fix it?
i switched to direct x 9 and my game isnt opening anymore helppp plsss
fantayzia i tried to do this method but i don't see the direct x 9 option anywhere
Think it depends on your computer?
My Sim dont sleep and i dont know what to do anymore honestly .. will this be fixed at some point or should i create a new sim? I did create this girl to do the event :c
I have a problem where my sims just stay in place and don't move how do I fix it?? please help me
Did you try Reset Object?
Im playing this on ps5 and i dont have a graphics option. :( now what?
I physically cannot play my game bc as soon as i go into any loading screen or build mode i will go back into my game but all the buttons around the screen and my sims icons will disappear and it wont let me click on sims so im hoping this will work 💗
Edit: i didnt work so idk what to do now😭😭
I'm on laptop, and I don't have the direct 9 option 😢
