Re: Bugs in building mode

@LuthienCuthalion Merged your post with another thread.
Does it matter which lot type ? Did you change the lot type at some point ? Are you using always the same build (even on the new save) or did you just go into any existing lot ?

Re: Can't make changes to build and game keeps saving forever

@vanillabean3

You’re not alone it seems and I have a very old memory of items not being able to be placed years ago but can’t confidently remember when or how I fixed it. I think I probably did a super repair or it somehow rectified itself. Try the super repair on your Mac and see if it helps https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting...

PS5 Build Mode Not Working and Unable to Save

★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
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? Newest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Interior home decorator, seasons, laundry day, and for rent
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? - Try to delete an object in build mode or place stairs - After deleting one thing try to delete something else. - Try to save game
What happens when the bug occurs? - After deleting one object I am unable to delete another or place any new objects. - Once this happens I am unable to save the game. It just keeps loading.
What do you expect to see? I try to delete more than one object and the game just won’t delete it. It will keep holding the object. I also cannot place or move any objects. I then go to exit the game and it doesn’t let me save. Just keeps loading.
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 

Since getting the for rent pack I have had consistent problems with the build/buy mode. I can place one object in build and then it won’t let me delete anything, windows, doors, nothing. It has gotten to the point that I can’t even play the game if I want to build. It happens every 9 times out of 10. I can’t even save any progress because it glitches and just says it’s loading my saves. I have never had any issues with PS5 sims till now. I am up to date on my console software and game updates. So frustrated.

@crinrict Hi! It seems to be very similar, yes. I don’t know how I can fix this on console!

@mmlove99 I merged your thread. At this point it's unclear what's causing it so I don't think there's a solution. Maybe reinstalling helps but I don't know enough about console to help troubleshoot.

Sims 4 build mode stops working, freezes and won’t save

[ Edited ]
★★★★ Novice

When I enter build mode everything stops working after a few minutes. Objects disappear as soon as they’re placed or can’t be placed at all. No build tools will work. The game fails to save as well. 

I’ve tried clearing the cache in my files and in EA. I’ve completely uninstalled the game and reinstalled it as well as the EA app. 


I don’t use mods but I’ve even tried moving files to the desktop to fix the issue. I don’t know what else to do to repair it. 

I purchased the game and all expansions/kits through steam and I have verified the integrity of the game files there. 

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? 

Update: I just installed it on a different computer and it’s still having the same issues 😩
