Imaginary Friends Issue
Hello, I got this pop up in the attachment yesterday. I was in build mode. I found out today that it was a bug related to Imaginay Friends. I do play with mods, but none of them to my knowledge has to to do with imaginary friends. Or it could be another mod that effects this. Anyway, since I am a rotational player, I wasn't planing on using Imaginary Friends for this household. But there was another household that I played with a few days ago (In the same save), that did.SimSeeker14 hours agoSeasoned Vanguard322Views2likes11CommentsRoyalty and Legacy issues
I bought Royalty and Legacy a few days ago, but im having so many issues with it. Lagging, slow loading, crashing, and freezing. Also shown in the screenshots I've provided are big issues. First one shows me coming out of build mode and being unable to do anything except move the screen around, I can't even do the Alt+F4 to force a save. I have to Ctrl+Shift+Esc and close out the game, which makes me lose all progress. Second shows my sim not being there on the bottom left of the screen, her aspiration is gone, and her moodlets are blue. I have my new sims job as a noble and [shown in the third screenshot]it's not showing up! I have tried so many things to fix this and it's getting very frustrating to have to keep dealing with so many bugs and issues.Solvedbubblesbubbles41 day agoNew Novice103Views0likes2CommentsCURRENT ISSUE! Malicious Script Mods and Other Malware
CURRENT INCIDENT: Malicious ts4script files in multiple compromised accounts on Mod the Sims and an 18+ site, beginning March 1, 2026. Posts with full details: March 1, morning March 1, afternoon March 2 Multiple Mod the Sims accounts compromised. Malicious ts4script files have been uploaded to multiple mods, including to mods/CC that should not have one. Delete immediately and run a full-system malware and virus check. 18+ website also compromised. If you have recently downloaded an 18+ mod from an 18+ website and you don't use ModGuard, check if you've been infected with malware: Look in your Sims 4 install location for a file called "out.exe" (or "out" if extensions are hidden). Do not run the file. Do this: Delete the file Delete recently downloaded 18+ mods Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently delete them Run a full virus and malware scan Change your passwords See see the section in How to Use Mods and CC about "Safe Simming" for advice on how to avoid downloading compromised files. Download TwistedMexi's Modguard mod (from his website or Curseforge) to help protect you from the file you thought was okay, even after being cautious. ***************************************************************************************** January 2024 Incident Beginning as early as mid-January 2024, we began seeing Sims 4 script mods with malicious executable .exe code hidden in them. The mods masqueraded as being from existing creators or from a brand-new creator with a name similar to an existing one. In one known case, it appears that a creator’s account was hacked to update the creator’s own mod page. These mods also presented themselves as being previously existing mods. (Mac users: Because this is .exe code, it won’t affect you, but may produce LEs.) Mods known to have been compromised "PimpMySims4" (impersonated) – Cult Mod – was on Mod the Sims; now removed MySims4 – "Social Events - Unlimited Time" – was on Curseforge; now removed MSQSims (hacked) – on The Sims Resource, Feb. 5-8; all removed Mood Cheat Menu Motherlode Menu Seasons Cheat Menu Weather Forecast Cheat Menu PlayersWonderland (hacked) – Mouth Preset N16 ts4script file – on The Sims Resource, now removed V1 of an adult mod, with a January file date – on LoversLab How to check your system for the January 2024 malware To see if your system has been affected by the malicious code: select Windows-R In the window that opens, type this: %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UserData In the folder that opens, look for files called Updater.exe and/or Main.exe. If you are affected If you had one of these files, assume that any sensitive data on your PC may be compromised and take the steps below: Clear your system for this specific virus. (See below.) This must be done FIRST. If you have the Discord app or a cryptocurrency wallet app, uninstall them. This is important if not obvious: Starting these can trigger an attempt to reinstall this malware. Change your passwords. Add two-factor authentication where available. If you had saved credit card or similar information to a web browser, remove it and find out from your financial institution (or other relevant site) what action to take next. Reinstall Discord and cryptocurrency wallet apps from fresh downloads. Learn more about keeping your data secure in the future: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Services-General-Questions/Answers-HQ-Online-Security-Newsletter-January/m-p/13449052/thread-id/447422 To clear your system: Download this fix created by Maxis mod-host partner Curseforge: SimsVirusCleaner Double-click the SimsVirusCleaner.exe file in your Downloads folder tor run it. This is a good time to run a general virus/malware scan on your computer. More things to know Curseforge and The Sims Resource updated their file screening for this method of malware inclusion. Type of mods affected: The least likely mods to be affected were mods that are only .package files and mods uploaded by mod creators on Patreon or their own sites. Most Sims 4 mods are not script mods and aren’t doing anything requiring a ts4script file. Downloaded folders: Assume that any folder containing a collection of mods might include a compromised mod containing code that can steal your passwords, your banking info, and much more. Do NOT download and install these collections. If you have done so at any time since mid-January, check your system. New prevention/detection Sims 4 tool: TwistedMexi released a tool called ModGuard. April 2024 Incident [April 7, 2024] Malware via a mod that downloaded as only a text file with a link. Known cases: "S4 CAS Tools" on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from the late CmarNYC, dated 18 March 2023) “Loading Screen Randomizer” on Nexus from user fubruss (the real mod is on Mod the Sims, from Tesuto , dated 9 January 2024) Do NOT follow the links in text files. Do NOT download other files or follow links from this user. No legitimate mod download will EVER consist of only a text file (a file ending in .txt). If you downloaded either of these, delete them and run a virus scan. NOTE: This type malware does NOT require that you run the game for it to install itself, and is not what ModGuard is designed to detect and stop. November 2024 Incident On November 5, 2024, on Mod the Sims, someone uploaded malicious versions of at least four mods. Unlike the earlier incident, no new accounts were involved, and one of the accounts breached was TwistedMexi's. No other compromised mods were found. It is not yet known what the effect of any malware included or called up was, so assume it's very bad. What to do If you downloaded any mods with .ts4script files from Mod the Sims on November 5, delete the mod and run a virus scan. If you don't already have it, download TwistedMexi's tool ModGuard. It will not protect against all possible script-file exploits, but it will help. Note that your other system protections cannot see what's in a .ts4script file. April 13, 2025 incident Some SimFileShare CC compromised Do not download mods from SimAndy or TheNinthWaveSim or Pixelunivairse mods/CC from SimFileShare. The accounts are compromised. Files present include an executable (.exe) file presumed to be malicious. If you downloaded files from these creators after about April 11, delete them and run a virus scan The owner of SFS has removed all known compromised files, and SFS is permitting file uploads again. Please remain cautious about what you download, especially files that were updated in early April 2025. March 2026 incident Multiple Mod the Sims accounts compromised. Ts4script files uploaded, including to mods/CC that should not have one. Files contents clearly malicious. If you downloaded any ts4script files from Mod the Sims beginning March 1, 2026, delete immediately and run a full-system malware and virus check. All compromised files have been removed. An 18+ mod-hosting website is also compromised. If you have recently downloaded an 18+ mod from an 18+ website and you don't use ModGuard, check if you've been infected with malware: Look in your Sims 4 install location for a file called "out.exe" (or "out" if extensions are hidden). Do not run the file. Do this: Delete the file Delete recently downloaded 18+ mods Empty your Recycle Bin to permanently delete them Run a full virus and malware scan Change your passwords Current Impact of Incidents on Mod Update News Updates of mods/CC hosted only on Mod the Sims are on pause. - updated March 2, 202656KViews41likes20CommentsRelationship Status "Spouse" reverting back to non romantic partner
So, my sims just got married, I save the game and then exit. when I got back playing again relationship status reverts back and have to ask my sims to be romantic partner again. So I go all through the process of getting married, save and save as before i close the game. When I got back on again, same thing relationship reverts back again. And I keep doing the process all over and over, save and save but still nothing. T_T any idea?48Views0likes1CommentTmex Better BuildBuy Issue
Hey everyone, I recently installed TwistedMexi's BBB mod and accidentally deleted it without turning off organised debug. I have tried everything that their patreon and other platforms have told me to, and nothing has worked. I've tried installing it again and then uninstalling it the proper way and deleting the localthumbcache.package file. The mod was originally working before and was not in any subfolders. I also do not have any other script mods downloaded, so I am really stuck with what to do here!! Hopefully some of you have experienced the same issue.neezdutsbrah1 day agoRising Newcomer58Views1like1CommentYoung Ghosts Return Thread 2.0
I had to remake this thread since 1 edit to correct stuff since It was way outdated got it falsely removed by auto mod and wanted to get the main page up to date. So I have to remake it. I'm going to use the info from mod the sims to make it easier on myself. This mod brings back the old days where you can cheat Younger sims to be ghosts. With the Life and death update. The sims team restricted on which ages can be which type of Ghosts. Which made Toddler, Infants, adult pets and baby pets to no longer be ghosts. This mod allows the old days again so they can be ghosts again. There are side effects like stretching from young meteor ghosts doing the death animation. Toddlers walking slow but other then that it works well. Toddlers who have the laughter trait can make people playful like adult. This will also fix certain features like The premade Ghost Dog Captain Whittaker and fix the wishing well issues when you get a Ghost Child from there. I made this mod personally but I had people ask me from places to share it. Pets can only be Old age for reasons. I will say this. Bugs. I don't want to get this one removed and that might have been the reason. It brings the old days. They still can't die but you add the ghost traits with Cheats like the trait equip cheat. MCCC or UI cheats. The traits were enabled for them so all ghost types in the normal game are enabled for them but not death. You just have to add the traits to them with cheats like how it was before Life and death patch. If you use Young Ghosts Return and want to upload them to the Gallery or somewhere. Make sure to include this in the description. #YoungGhostsReturn That way. People will know the mod used in the upload with young ghosts and why it's marked as custom content. It will help a lot and clear things up. This thread you will see updates and the status of the mod in the comments.502Views0likes23CommentsImaginary Friends Build Buy Crash

Hi, none of my mods are broken from what I have seen, but after adding them to my mods folder my game wont even load. What can I do? Is it because I am on a Mac? I have spent so much time on my mods, but they never want to work once I reach a certain amount. Is there anything I can do? I am about to just stop playing.consmity2 days agoNewcomer87Views0likes1CommentBlue box in lower left hand corner and not being able to play households.
whenever I go to load into a sim family it takes me to the loading screen only to bring me back to the worlds management with a blue flickering box around the area where the sims would be. And near that box baby bottles that say x8 appear and the lot no longer has a sim in it. I have tried this again with the same family and after the secound time of doing it, it completely deleted my sims and brought me back to world management with the blue box in the lower left corner. This has happened even after I have updated the game. Thank you, - Shaky2v593Views0likes4CommentsGame Rejecting Every Single Mod/CC [de4ee14f:29f00e76:00000000:4b0d852b]
Hello, my little sister just got into The Sims 4 game recently. She has been playing the game with no Mods or CCs. When she adds even one CC or Mod file, regardless of it being the latest, the following dialog box pops up and the game can't run: "Cannot start because game data is missing or damaged. If you have Mods installed, please remove them and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin. [de4ee14f:29f00e76:00000000:4b0d852b]" We have tried all the solutions as suggested by various online forums (As well as EA forums); from creating a new folder, repairing the game, redownloading the game, to changing user access controls and so many more. But it still persists to no avail. She downloaded the game from the official EA app and website. In the country she currently resides in, she uses VPN. Does anyone please know what could be the cause and how we could fix it? We will really appreciate it.EhMJAY_942 days agoRising Newcomer168Views0likes3Commentssims in romantic relationship rejecting flirting

My questions never get answered but this might be my worst malfunction ever, so please someone read this. I turned off mods and scripts in the game, not the title screen, to see if mods were why all of my sims in a relationship would reject flirting from their partner (awesome issue i have to deal with even after this one is dealt with). re enabled them, and they will not load. yes theyre in the correct folder, yes theyre enabled, ive already moved Mods out of the EA folder and back into the new Mods folder, repaired the game, restarted my computer, deleted cache, etc. im going to try uninstalling it, and incase it doesnt work after waiting years for that to finish, please let me know if theres anything else i can trythe3magickeys2 days agoNew Novice67Views0likes2Comments
