DO THIS TO FIX THE SIMS 4! Simple Fix For Crashes, Lag, Forever Loading Screens & More!

fantayzia i tried to do this method but i don't see the direct x 9 option anywhere

Hmmm... thought I was the only one having problems

Is it just me who has no directx 9 in my game? 😶

My sims were disappearing before Direct X 11 but it's gotten much worse

Glitches and loading problems. I was band and did absolutely nothing for days.. they fixed the band but it kicks me off... thank you

I haven’t been able to play the reaper rewards since week 1. So ima try and switch my direct X

Forever loading screens and then my game crashes 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I had problems in my sims with the highschool years expansion and no one moved when I go to school with two teenagers 😅

My game just updated to dx11 and it has forever loading screen. I tried to switch to dx9, but my crashes everytime.

It isn't just forever loading screens. It is never loading. On top of the fact none of the fishing spots in Sulani work.

i play on playstation so my game doesn’t use direct X11 and with whatever the Sims team has been working on lately is causing my game to crash, again I playstation so I don’t have any mods or cc in my game.

The last 3 days i was trying to load my gameplay but i had endless loading screen. Then i figured what was the issues. So basically it's from the grim reaper event, i remember i turned on the lot trait challenge so if you have it turn it off or just delete the load game. I also tried some tutorial how to run your sims faster than viola it worked. And last, broken cc or mods can corrupted your game please go fix it there are some tutorial on yt you can try. In conclusion, the major issues are from EA itself. Goodluck, yall

i switched to direct x 9 and my game isnt opening anymore helppp plsss

I couldn't even play today because it kept crashing in the loading screen, to load into the game. Yesterday, my sims kept freezing and weren't able to move but their needs were going down. I had to keep closing my game

Anyone else having issues of the game just freezing while saving your build? It happened several times to me last week. I save often bc of past issues of the game crashing and losing my progress. Recently I'll save a build but the circle thingy will just keep going and going but it doesn't finish the save or do anything. ESC doesn't work, I can't minimize or alt-tab. All I can do is end task in task manager and restart the game. No error codes. I don't use mods but I have CC, however this happens with or without the CC. ✌🏻

That's odd. I don't have that Direct X9 check box in my gaming options at all. PC player, latest game build.

OMG Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Nope, this actually broke my Sims 4 completely... 😭 Now it won't even load up

My issue is that the social menu won't even load
Like, that's half the game. I deleted 70% of my households and lots, took out mods and cc, no improvement
So sick of it!

I cant get the grims favorite flower to complete and get the extra points even though I got the flowers. This is AFTER the game corrupted my 7 year save and now I have to start over, this is terrible game design at this point.

I think it has to do with the directx11 switch. Remember the game will now run on directx11, not 9. Also alot of mods and cc runs on dx9. Upcoming packs will also run dx11 not 9, so eventually you'll have issues again.

What Pc are you using?

My garden keeps resetting

Yesss, thank you for posting this fix, it worked for me! My game would load in but every icon and thought bubble, would endlessly multiply across the screen and the control panel would flicker white and freeze every few seconds- my game was completely unplayable. If your game’s doing this, the DX11 update was definitely the issue

People have more issues than exist, maybe. lmao yeah my game is laggy? It’s a laptop bought in 2017, it’ll not be great. But it runs pretty slay after direct x 11 update

I have never, in my probably 20 years of gaming experience, had so many problems with a game. It’s actually beyond parody. When you buy a game, you should have near complete control over it as YOUR property. When and if you update, playing online or offline, what and if to use a launcher for the game.

I feel like every time I boot up this game - if I even get into the HORRIBLE ea-app (wost app ever to exist), I run into a host of involentary updates and changes I don’t even want that mess up my entire game.
It’s not unusual that I have to spend half an hour to up to an hour just to get INTO the game. Constant restarts, googling my issues etc.

Im on console and currently im constantly getting error code 0... which deletes save files I even uninstalled. I tried a new save and with the very first save it instantly says error code 0. Im scared to open other saves.

I used your code yesterday and I’m going to use it sometime next week to get another pack

Dogs have disappeared from one of my family's houses. No, they didn't run away or die. Just gone. Also having a lot of clothing issues, Sims with no shirts or walking around in bras and undies on the street. I've also been disconnecting a lot from EA which has not really been a problem until up to now. So you know, if you go to save it's not working and you're SOL.

I play the game vanilla and I’m even on my pc I only had those problems sometimes

My issue is with the Grim Reaper challenge is some of the items you have to buy in build mode Grim Reaper Gramaphone/Phonograph and then buy the Portrait I thought once these items were claimed them they are yours free, including the Grims Cruiser Bike plus The Green Lady's lost tome. I thought once these items are claimed, it will be there in your inventory No. I lost my Batfish don't know what happened there and my Angel Fish.

Now since I had my Sim read the green lady's tome my sim put it down somewhere, but I can have a look around but you would think I locate it No. Maybe the Inventory no. So, does that mean I have to buy it again? I'm pulling my hair out.

I left out Twisted Mexi BBB and TOOL mod's plus MCCC mod, since we were advised it upsets the grim reapers reward, Better Exceptions I kept and that has been fantastic letting me what's wrong what to take out and any duplicates, plus I left in the Malware 1.5 in. I kept DX9 changed from DX11.

Bless you i been crying all weekend..I'm on pc..I have forever loading screen..crashes after loading..& all my sims have the same name & genders..it's Monday (me banging on the table) & it's still doing it..

Im honestly confused bc the direct x9 isn’t in my graphics

A lot of my mods and cc have now been updated for direct X 11; does anyone know if reverting back to direct 9 would break everything again just in a different way?

My issue is whenever in build mode, my game crashes when i click the cabinets or sinks. How can i fix that. I have no mods or cc.

Forever loading screens, crashes and a bunch of broken cc for me. Im cleaning it up now. I just have so much... by the time Im all done it'll be update day again. 🙃

I dont have he direct x 9 option

I have a very bad delaying lag. So when i click on my sims or another sim for interactions it takes so long for the options to show and even longer for them to do it.

I have this exact problem! But I don’t have this on my laptop? Is there anything I can do?

This absolutely worked for me thank you so much lol

Was ur sim building menu messed up like everything is on top of eachother if so how did you fix it to be normal I been struggling I already deleted and redownload all my mods to the current update and nothing is working

My game won’t even open

I have removed my mods and updated them,restart the game so many times,and I can’t even get pass c.a.s.
I have so many households saved that I can’t even play with and it’s beyond irritating

What if you don’t have the option for x9 and x11

my game takes like 45 minutes to load (even with no mods or cc, just tested) and even when i get into the game, it doesn't let me interact with my sim or other sims. also pausing, unpausing, and speeding up is glitched too lol.. idk what to do (switching back to directx9 didnt help either)

I did that but now my game doesn't even load. It says there is a problem with the installation of your game. Reinstall your game.....

Im playing this on ps5 and i dont have a graphics option. :( now what?

My game loads pretty fast, but the problem is when it's done loading, it shows a blank screen and goes back to the EA app.
So, I can't even switch back to direct x9.
I've tried everything. Can someone please help me with this?😔

This video literally saved my game, I had the forever loading screen for more than a month now, I couldn’t find a way to fix it and I lost complete hope in playing it, after 3 weeks of not even trying to touch the game because of the disappointment your video popped up!! I’m so grateful for this because I am able to play my favorite game again!
