No Sims Selection to Play??

★★★ Newbie

Hello,

 

Upon loading my sims 4 game, everything is fine until I select the sim to play in a particular world.  When I select the sim to play, the sim picture; even the other sims in the world is no longer displaying.  Could you assist me as to why I can not see the sims selection to play?

 

 

Thank you,

TraDay313

@TraDay313  I've moved your post to the Sims 4 PC tech section.

Hi @TraDay313 - I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're (not) seeing, but I'll try to help. 

 

I suggest you try to repair your game - But, there is a patch coming today Sept 5, 2019. Please wait until after you've updated the game before you go through these steps if you have any mods or cc installed:

 

      • Exit TS4 and Origin completely.
      • Save a copy of your Saves folder to your desktop (or somewhere else safe, to use as a backup)
      • Move your Mods folder to the desktop
      • Delete the file localthumbcache.package Default location is C:\[YourUserName]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4  Instructions with pictures are here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/delete-cache-files/
      • Launch Origin "As Administrator" (Right-click Origin.exe, choose Compatibility tab, Check the box next to "Run this program as administrator")
      • In Origin, right-click The Sims 4 icon and choose "Repair". Origin has to be online for this to complete. Let the repair run until completed, on the game and any add-ons installed
      • Launch The Sims 4 and check to see if the issue is fixed. (your sims may be naked or bald, depending on the mods or cc that was installed previously)

If you had mods or cc, and the issue is fixed after the repair, then you have one or more outdated mods or cc. This will take a bit of detective work; one at a time, copy your mods back to the mods folder, then open the game and verify everything is working. If you have a lot of mods or cc, use the 50% method. Once you've identified the culprit(s), check with the creators to see if updated versions are available.

 

If this doesn't fix the problem, please reply back with a copy of your DxDiag. A screenshot of where you're seeing the missing pictures could help, too.
