    I feel like the EA app always have problems. Either the EA app won't open, or it dosen't update my game. And sometimes I can't even open the sims! I miss back in the day when we had origin😢

      @nerd_liv 8 місяців тому +5

      Oh trust me Origin is just as bad! I have a Mac so I'm forced to have Origin and it's terrible. The first time I had the sims I only had it for a couple of weeks before the game just refused to work(it was saying the game was already started) and then finally a year later I was able to get it back, which so happened to be 2 days ago. The same thing just happened to be today. I didnt even have the game for 3 days before it crashes and refuses to work!!

    Recently my EA app isn't launching at all and neither is the Sims 4 when I try to launch it separately. I've tried clicking and double clicking but nothing. Pretty sure it was working only a couple of weeks ago, sometimes it does this, it has before and then it just starts working randomly again so I don't really know what to do. Any suggestions? Please tell me I'm not the only one with this problem. 🤷‍♀️

    PLEASE HELP! This isn't related to this video but I've been looking everywhere for an answer. After running Better exceptions, it found approx. 1000 cc that were outdated or broken. Is there a way to quickly delete all of them from my mods folder? usually I have to copy and paste the name of each cc item and locate it that way in my mods folder and delete them but there has to be an easier way then spending hours or even days going one by one. believe it or not that's what I've been doing even if there are 100+ conflicts. I just cant do it anymore.

      Here are some steps I follow after every single update & it does wonders for me
      1. Rename the Mods folder into Mods old (keep the Mods old folder in your TS4 folder) - do this with your game completely closed
      2. Remove these files from The Sims 4 folder: localthumbcache & gameversion (this way we remove any temporary corrupted mod files, similar to getting rid of cache!)
      3. Launch the game (make sure you have script mods & cc enabled in game options) & close it rightaway
      4.A new Mods folder should appear in TS4 folder (make sure it has the resource.cfg file inside!) if that folder did not pop up, launch the game once again
      and make sure that the scripts & cc stayed enabled in game options > other > apply changes > exit game > relaunch it > exit it, now the mods folder should appear after following this process
      5. Copy all of your cc - clothes and furniture - (but no script mods or functional cc, things like life mods, restaurant mods etc) from your Mods old to the newly generated Mods folder
      6. Download the updates for the mods (if there are any! If there are not, we gotta be patient a bit & wait till those updates get released🙏)
      7. Place your updated script mods into your newly generated Mods folder

    • @Darielle
      @Darielle  Рік тому +2

      Did you install the latest drivers for your video card? You can tell what video card you have by going into task manager (search bar) > type device manager > click the arrow next to Display Adapters > that is your GPU
      Find the right & latest drivers for your GPU
      If that does not work, then resetting the EA folder does the trick for me, always!
      1. Go into Documents
      2. Right click the Electronic Arts Folder
      3. Rename it into Electronic Arts Old
      (Keep it there, don’t remove it)
      4. Open your game (now it should open since we reset our EA folder)
      5. Time to put our files back into the game so close the game completely (you should notice a new EA folder in your Docs, that’s where we are gonna put our files)
      6. Go into the EA old
      7. the Sims 4 > Saves folder > select all files > copy
      8. Go into the new EA folder > TS4 > Saves folder > paste all of your files there
      9. The same thing applies to our Tray, Screenshots and cc!
      So
      10. Go into the EA old > TS4 > Tray folder > select all files > copy
      11. Go into the new EA > The Sims 4 > Tray folder > paste all files
      Do the same with your Mods & Screenshots!
      PS. make sure we don’t copy any mods (aka files that end with ts4script or any kind of functional cc - you can tell by their names, things like restaurant mods, life mods, school mods, toddler mods etc)
      Clothes, makeup, accessories, build cc can be copied!
      Once we’re done copying all those files into the new EA folder, we can open the game & it should work!
