    i am having trouble with my Sims 4 game, the titles are having a glitch and i don't know how to fix it, for example where the title is meant to be for the family tree thing, there is nothing there... and other times it comes up with another glitch, as another example it comes up with something along the lines of '$3342F9F3'

    i cant find any sites or have heard of anyone else with this problem

    PLEASE HELP ME, it's very irritating!!!!

    Read through what i copy and past below your problem maybe in the list below
    Is this the first time you started playing Sims 4 ? If yes
    Computer Strong Enough?
    First, you need to know what your computer has. For that, please see: Game Help:System Specs. That guide will tell you how to find all of the needed information.

    You will need to know:

    • Your processor (CPU) type and speed - for example, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 gHz
    • Your amount of RAM - for example, 3072 MB of RAM
    • Your graphics card model - for example, nVidia GeForce 9600 GT
    • What operating system you are running - for example, Microsoft Windows XP Pro
    Then, you can compare what you have to the system requirements for TS4. See: Game Help:TS4 System Requirements. If you're not very computer-savvy, you can always post your system specs and ask whether they're sufficient, in our Sims 4 Help Forums.

    If you don't meet the requirements...

    If your computer is not up to the minimum requirements then you may experience issues with playing the game. Even if your computer technically meets the requirements, if it only barely meets the requirements then you may still have issues.

    If you have determined that your computer is not up to handling the game, you can use our Computer & Software Help Forum to help you determine whether or not your computer can be upgraded, and if so, how. There's some great info on New Graphics Cards as well as Upgrading or Building/Buying a New Computer.


    If you are sure your computer is up to the task, not only meeting but exceeding the requirements...
    Step 1: Delete Cache Files
    Open your Electronic Arts folder in Documents.

    Cached files are temporary files that are saved by the game to make loading certain information faster. If these files have incorrect or corrupted data, it may prevent your game from loading. The game will regenerate fresh copies of these files each time it loads, so deleting them is perfectly safe, and it's normal for them to reappear.

    • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\localthumbcache.package
    Now try running the game. Try to load The Sims 4. Does it work? If so, you just had some corrupted cache files and it should be fine now. Continue playing and don't worry about it.

    If deleting cache files didn't work...
    Step 2: Remove Custom Content
    Open your Electronic Arts folder in Documents.

    Custom content that can be corrupted, conflicting, doesn't work with your game version, or otherwise have problems - so it may be the cause of your issues. To determine whether it's custom content related, you'll need to temporarily remove your custom content to test.



    .package Format Content
    1. Open Mods Folder: To remove your mods, open your \Mods\Packages\ folder. The exact location of this folder will depend on your game version and your operating system.
    • Windows XP: My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
    • Windows Vista/7: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
    2. Cut: Select all of the files within the Mods folder. Right-click and choose CUT (or CTRL-X).

    3. Paste: Paste (or CTRL-V) those files somewhere you can find them. Suggested is making a new folder on your computer's Desktop to hold them temporarily.



    Now try running the game. Try to load The Sims 4. Is the problem still there? If not, one or more of your mods was causing a problem - maybe there was a conflict between two core mods, or something got corrupted or just otherwise didn't want to work. To narrow down what the problem might have been, you can put back half of your mods at a time, delete your cache files again, and test, then test the other half, etc., and continue dividing in half till you find what the problem mod(s) are. If you do identify a mod or mods that are an issue, check back with their creator(s) to see if there's an updated version.

    If testing without mods didn't find the problem...
    Step 3: Rename User Files
    It's also possible that something in your user files - saves or otherwise - is causing a problem.

    1. Open Folder: Open your Electronic Arts folder in Documents. The location is:
    • Windows XP: My Documents\Electronic Arts\
    • Windows Vista/7: Documents\Electronic Arts\
    2. Rename: There will be a folder here called The Sims 4 - rename that folder to The Sims 4 Backup.

    Now try running the game. It may take a little longer to load than normal this time, since it is making fresh new copies of all of the standard user files (as if you had just installed). It may also run full screen if you had normally had it windowed, and the graphic options will be turned down - that's normal, and nothing to worry about.

    If you're no longer getting the problem with fresh user files, then it was something in the user files causing the problem. You can then go in and copy-paste individual folders from your The Sims 34 Backup to the new The Sims 4 folder to see which is the problem. Recommended is trying your Saves folder first.
