I did try repairing it, yes. That didn't seem to make any difference.

 

Edit: Well, for some reason, trying that again did it. Maybe the first repair didn't go through or something. Thanks!

Sims Broke After Update

★★★ Newbie

Hello!

 

I'm relatively new to sims 4. The other day I downloaded the new update, but when I logged in all my sims had really weird coloring and question marks all over their face. Some resources on the internet said this happens with cc/mods, but I don't have any extra downloads. How do I make this problem go away?

Hey; updates can cause all sorts of things to go wrong! Usually it's mods and CC that are the first things needing resolved.

 

First of all, make sure that you don't have ANY mods or CC in your game; take the folder out and keep it safe. 

 

Try repairing your game first; make a backup save file (back up your save and tray files)

Delete the localthumbcache.package file. Also clear your Cache folder; this is safe to do so.

 

Try reloading the game again.

 

If the worst comes to it, then you may have to do a complete uninstall - reinstall. I've had to do this a few times & it starts to run smoothly again!

 

If you use CC skin overlays, then they'll be broken. You will need to check back with the original creator of them to see if they've been updated. Not everyone is able to update their content right away so be patient and wait for the creator's update. then delete the original file and replace it with the new one. 

 

If it's do with clothes, shoes etc, then it's possibly a missing mesh. S4 Tray importer may help you to narrow down what the missing mesh is; where by you re-download the missing CC mesh, and then the item should re-appear normally in-game. (you'll need to save the broken sim to your library then load Tray importer, find the sim and it'll tell you what is/isn't installed on the sim)

 

If you exhaust all these options then I'm not sure what else to suggest :/ I'm only going by what has worked for me in the past!

 

Good luck

Recently updated my game. Almost all my sims skins are broken?

[ Edited ]

Once I updated sims 4, almost all the sims are broken. I use mods but none of the modded items are broken, just the base game skins. It shows as a white and red checkered pattern.

 

EDIT: I tried removing mods and that didn't seem to work. So I repaired my game and that worked. Im not sure if my mods would still work or not but I resolved the issue.

Broken Expansion Pack CAS Items

★ Novice

I just redownloaded the Sims 4, and I have a few expansion packs. All of my expansion pack CAS items look like broken cc, and I haven't gotten any mods or cc yet. How do I fix it?
