Sims 4 not saving my settings

★★★ Newbie

Sorry if this has been asked, but i couldn't find anything on this. Sorry if the formatting is bad this is my first time posting here.

 

So recently I've been having a problem where if i go to Settings and change something, it doesn't change after i save the options and restart the game. If it helps i have the Deluxe Version using Origin.

 

Repairing the files didn't help, removing the mods I have didn't help, restarting Origin didn't help and Uninstalling didn't help, either. I really can't figure out whats going on and couldn't find anything elsewhere so i'm resorting to asking.

Try a factory reset of your game folder as described in this post:

sorry, forgot to update this post: I decided to go through the files manually and i found what the problem was. I'm not entirely sure why Origin didn't catch it when i Repaired the files or Re-Installed the game but its fixed now!

I usually have a bad habit of forgetting to update posts like this so sorry if it inconvenienced you, Have a good day/night!

@RoseyGinger2001  Try deleting options.ini, which is in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.  You'll have to redo all your in-game settings, but hopefully they'll stick this time.

@AJ41723  Your OS is set not to show file extensions, so the .ini part of the name is hidden.  It's the same file though.

 

Since this thread is somewhat old, I'll lock it here.  If you're still having trouble, please create a new thread describing your issue.
