Text Strings Missing for HS Expansion Pack

[Arthur Gibraltar]

@Galedoes now that the string file appeared, maybe changing the language to another one and back to the one you play could fix it. Or doing the full repair/validation.

I have an issue with the pack since installing it. I installed it with origin on my PC. I have no other issues expect that I can't go to school with my sims. That is a major part in the pack so I'm very confused. Everything else works perfectly but my sims just go into rabbit holes like they used to. But I obviously want to go with them to school. How can I fix this?

@Arthur Gibraltar thank you for the idea, it worked!! I changed the language to spanish, opened the game (copperdale was still missing text) and changed it back to english and now I the neighborhoods have their descriptions, I can see the requirements for the new lots and the items have their proper names and descriptions. The lot names are still missing, but I can live with that.

@melissola so I found a way for me. I deleted all my mods and it worked all of the sudden. Only mods and not CC like make up or stuff like that

This morning when I started my computer and Steam finished loading I found that the Strings_ENG_US was now in my EP12 directory.

In Steam I ran the 'Verify Integrity' tool and everything came up as correct.

I had backed up my save files yesterday to troubleshoot with a clean install, so I loaded the game today with a test game I created yesterday. All the neighborhood descriptions were there - yay! But still no lot names.

So! I restored my save files and BEST NEWS: My saved games now have neighborhood descriptions, lot names and descriptions, proper names for all the new households AND all the new items have full names and descriptions!

Tested with a new game. Everything is perfect!

Suggestion for anyone with text issues still: Restoring a game from backup seemed to restore all the text that was broken yesterday. 

• Perhaps backing up your saved game, doing a clean reinstall, and restoring your backups might correct any remaining issues. 

Hope this helps!

Hi! 

I've followed all the suggestions I've seen posted in this thread and I'm still having the same issue. Here's what I've tried so far: 

-removing all mods and cc

-repairing the game in Steam

-changing the languages several times

-a full uninstall and reinstall 

-repairing and launching from Origin instead of Steam

The proper String file is in the EP12 folder and I've tried repairing, reinstalling, etc. and nothing seems to help. There's still no text for the entire new pack which obviously means it's unplayable. Is anyone else still having the same issue? Does anyone have any further suggestions?

Hello @xoxogossiphobbit 

- What language is Steam in?

- What language is Origin in?

- What language are you attempting to run the game in?
