The Sims 4 Glitch: Sims are Being Mean for No Reason

A new Sims 4 glitch is turning Sims into horrible people! Learn about this Sims 4 bug and how to stop autonomous mean interactions!

If you’ve noticed your Sims being meaner as of late, you aren’t alone! Since the last content update, thousands of players have been reporting that their Sims have suddenly turned into horrible people. They pick fights with their spouses, children, friends, and basically everyone around them. Of course, Sims are supposed to be mean to each other, sometimes. Some Sims have traits that make them act meaner than other Sims and all Sims can be provoked into being mean under the right conditions. But players insist the excessive meanness is a Sims 4 glitch. Autonomous mean interactions in The Sims 4 are a bug that’s gotten out of control.

So what exactly is the problem? According to players, Sims autonomously choose to do mean interactions with everyone around them for no reason whatsoever. Sims who have no traits that would encourage them to act mean will start fights with their closest friends and relatives even when they are not angry. There is no reason for the sudden rude outbursts and they happen so frequently that marriages are being destroyed and happy families are crumbling to ruin! A very troublesome Sims 4 glitch!

The Sims 4 Glitch: Autonomous Mean Interactions

Currently, the bug has over 1,000 “Me Too” reactions on EA Answers and over 75 pages of players describing the exact same glitch in The Sims 4. Here are some direct quotes from the official Sims 4 bug thread:

I started having this too after the recent update (4/11). This happens in every household. When I let my sims have a conversation by themselves, they start yelling and insulting each other. Happens with teens, adults and elders. Haven’t tried with children yet.
i don’t have mods or cc, I just have city living, cats and dogs and cottage living.
kasvispulla

I second all of this. The issue was NOT present before the patch downloaded today. I am on PS4 with Seasons, Cats and Dogs, and Desert Luxe.
Smemmy82

This is also happening to me right after the update. I even created a new game with a brand new sim, with good cheerful and neat traits, he will automatically do mean social actions during the welcome wagon event, for absolutely no reason. Also tested this with a brand new day one married couple with these traits, had them start a conversation and poof they both start arguing. This started after the update. I have no mods or CC. I have pretty much every expansion.
NevendingNewb

I’ve been playing The Sims 4 for 8 years now. This bug breaks all relationships regardless of the characters’ personalities and for no reason. Sims have become abusive.
Kr0koZya6rA

As one player pointed out, this Sims 4 glitch is not only annoying but extremely concerning, especially for players who have experienced domestic abuse in their lives. Many people play The Sims to escape the realities of violence they may have experienced in the real world. A Sims 4 bug like this can be triggering and damaging to the mental health of some players.

Possible Solutions

With this autonomous mean interactions Sims 4 glitch affecting so many players and no fix in sight from EA, players have taken it upon themselves to find solutions to the problem. None of them are ideal, but here are some options to resolve the problem.

Players who use the MCCC mod can disable Autonomous Mean Interactions. Sims will no longer be mean to each other autonomously; however, this also affects Sims with “bad” traits whom you might actually want to be mean.
Kuttoe has released a mod fix for this bug as well.
This bug does not seem to be affecting players who own the Snowy Escape expansion pack. If you have been wanting this expansion, now might be a good time to buy it. Still, having to pay $40 to fix a game bug is rightfully not sitting well with a lot of players.
The only Sims immune to this Sims 4 glitch are Sims with the new Loyal trait. Giving every Sim in your world this trait will stop them from being mean autonomously.
Turning off Free Will in the game options will prevent your current household in The Sims 4 from autonomous mean interactions; however, it will not prevent Sims outside the household from being mean.

Grab the Dale Dining CC Set for The Sims 4!

The free new CC Set from Myshunosun for The Sims 4 will make your Dining Room a hotspot for extravagant parties!

Tired of the same old Dining Room objects in The Sims 4? Not to worry, because myshunosun is back with another Free CC Set!

Their latest free Custom Content set of objects comes with 10 new items. All with original color swatches and variants that will match beautifully with any Dining Room combo that you might think of!

Check out what the creator has to say about this Set:

Gale Dining Sims 4 CC Set by Myshunosun

Gale Dining includes 10 contemporary dining room items. The set was inspired by some texture motifs from the High School Years pack, so I really wanted to incorporate the polished metal textures in these objects.

Here’s what you get:

Dining table, 12 swatches, 700§
Dining chair, 20 swatches, 200§
Cart, 18 swatches, 100§
Tableware set, 9 swatches, 80§
Stack of plates, 12 swatches, 80§
Glass vase, 8 swatches, 100§
Vase, 10 swatches, 50§
Wine bottle, 4 swatches, 50§
Wine glass, 3 swatches, 20§
Rug, 8 swatches, 150§

Gale Dining CC Set Overview

Of course that we had to try this CC Set for ourselves and see how well the objects look like in the game.

The Goths’ Family Home definitely felt like it needed a makeover. Well, their Dining Room at least.

Placing down the new items from myshunosun felt really easy. The Dining Table had so many slots available for placing down objects. From decorative set pieces like the new Glass vase to the new Tableware (also decorative). The Tableware also has a footprint-free version which will open up more slots for placing down additional objects on the Dining table.

Oh, and the new cart is an excellent addition to bring more realism for your luxurious dining. One thing I really liked about this set is that you can add multiple stacks of plates. Which are also new with this set!

The Dale Dining Room CC Set for The Sims 4 is available for download right now! You can install it by extracting the contents / pasting the .package file to Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder. Make sure you enable Mods / CC in your game options!

Looking for things to do in The Sims 4 base game? We’ve got some suggestions!

The Sims 4 base game has gone free-to-play this month. With so many new players trying out the game, we wanted to help Simmers find their footing and make the most of what the base game has to offer! We’ve compiled a list of ten fun activities for your Sims to try in The Sims 4.

Explore in The Sims 4!

Don’t be fooled by loading screens. There is a whole world to discover! Take a walk around, harvest plants, dig up collectibles, and maybe even discover some secret places? We’ll give you some hints: look for the special tree in Willow Creek and take a stroll behind the Affluista Mansion in Oasis Springs.

Build Your Base Game Collection

You’ll find plenty of stuff to collect while exploring but you can collect from home, too! Check the collections tab in your Sim’s inventory: it’s the diamond icon. You’ll find a wide variety of collections waiting to be discovered. Buy a telescope or observatory to start collecting space prints, or make some online pen pals to receive postcards from them!

Grow a Cowplant

The Cowplant is part of the gardening collection so you’ll need one if you’re collecting all the plants, but this carnivorous creature also makes a delightful pet! Name it and feed it daily to keep it satiated. You really want to keep it satiated. Trust us.

Escape the Rat Race!

There are plenty of traditional 9-5 careers in The Sims 4 base game if you’re into that, but if you’re not, don’t worry. There are other ways to make a living. Why not try your hand at a freelance career or register as self-employed? Turn fun activities in The Sims 4 into a career!

Become One With Nature… Literally!

Maybe you want to delve into fantasy. Well, you’re in luck because the base game has a secret occult type: PlantSims! If you discover the forbidden fruit of the PlantSim, you might be able to become one yourself! Learn all about these special Sims in our guide!

Blast Off into Space!

Did you know there’s a Rocket Science skill in The Sims 4 base game? Improve this skill by purchasing a rocket ship launch pad from Build/Buy and building your own rocket ship from scratch right in your backyard! Add upgrades to it to bring back rare collectibles from other planets.

Become a Sims 4 DIY Pro

Do you like to build things? Purchase a workbench from Build/Buy and start carving to build the Handiness skill. If you become handy enough, you’ll be able to furnish your whole house with furniture you built yourself.

Breed Frogs

Frogs are a base game collection but not many players know that you can breed them. Each frog has its own unique genetics so breeding the frogs you want is a game of strategy. Try it yourself and if you need help, our good friend Carl has a detailed genetics breakdown.

Mischief Managed

If being good sounds boring, why not be bad? Or at least mischievous. Build the Mischief skill to unlock new ways to torment Sims and even have them at your mercy with a voodoo doll!

Get… Grim

Finally, if silly pranks just don’t satisfy your craving for chaos, there are a vast number of ways to kill your Sims. And the Grim Reaper can be quite enjoyable company. But you didn’t hear any of that from us…

Looking for some more tips for long-term gameplay? Here’s some good advice for playing through multiple generations!

The Sims Team has finally announced the upcoming two Kits for The Sims 4. With Pastel Pop being done in close collaboration with content creator Plumbella!

Yesterday we reported on the two new Kits coming to The Sims 4 – Pastel Pop and Everyday Clutter! These two Sims 4 Kits are both Build Kits, adding a new set of objects each to the game’s Build Mode.

Today The Sims Team has confirmed the release of these two Kits. With a release date being November 10th, 2022 for PC & Consoles.

Collaboration with Plumbella

The team revealed that The Sims 4 Pastel Pop Kit has been done in close collaboration with Youtuber and content creator Plumbella:

Jesse McNamara, widely known as Plumbella excels when it comes to exploring the endless possibilities within The Sims™. Whether they are redesigning an entire world or creating hilarious and in-depth reviews – Plumbella has built a loyal community of Simmers who revel in watching them delve into every chaotic facet The Sims has to offer.

For the upcoming kit, The Sims 4 Pastel Pop, we’ve collaborated with Plumbella who advised our developers and art directors throughout the project. They suggested the theme as well as items that would fit nicely into the kit’s overall aesthetic.

The new Pastel Pop Kit introduces a soft pastel color palette to the game, along with fun, unique patterns of groovy shapes. This kit will offer lots of new furniture, mirrors, decorative “tchotchkes”, shelves, and desk items, designed in an aesthetic Plumbella wishes they could decorate their home with, IRL!

The Sims 5 (Project Rene) has been Hacked and Pirated

The Sims 5 (Project Rene) has been Hacked and Pirated

Trustworthy source reports that Project Rene, also known as The Sims 5, has been hacked.

Editor’s Note: Please don’t search for or spread any possible links or files related to The Sims 5 / Project Rene. If you stumble across a potential leak, please report it as instructed by EA Help.

The worst thing that can happen to a video game, especially so early in development, is currently happening for Project Rene. Also known in the community as The Sims 5.

Last week we wrote about the insider playtest for Project Rene that happened last week. The playtest was offered to dedicated EA Playtesting members to test out the game’s Workshop. Along with up to 3 friends that they can invite. The playtest started on October 25th.

Unfortunately, The Sims 5 has been hacked because of this.

The ability to invite other friends to the Playtest is most likely what made the game leak in the end.

Tom Henderson, a very reliable source in the gaming journalism industry wrote a new report on Insider Gaming about The Sims 5. Specifically, how the game got exploited from the Playtest.

The Sims 5 / Project Rene Screen — Customizing Apartments together in The Sims 5 / Project Rene

The game has already made rounds outside of the playtesting groups. People who are not invited to the first playtest are now playing the game. With additional claims that they were able to hack the game and have other players connect to it. Without even having to contact the EA Servers first. Or be a member of the EA Playtest group in general.

Making it the first Sims game in the franchise history to leak so early in development.

How Project Rene got pirated and cracked

Reported by Tom Henderson on Insider Gaming

Sources, who wish to remain anonymous due to the possible repercussions of their name going public have shown Insider Gaming that they’ve already managed to crack and pirate the current version of The Sims 5.

The hackers have been able to generate access tokens using a playtester devuno token (which allows them to access the game). These generated tokens will allow anyone access to the game without needing any form of online access or approval from EA. In addition to the replication of the access tokens, the hackers have also shown gameplay of them playing on Peer 2 Peer servers without ever needing to contact EA servers.

It’s understood that cracking the game was fairly easy as the game is currently unencrypted and runs on Unreal Engine. This has apparently made it “real easy” to bypass the titles [lack of] security.

EA has already said that they are prototyping The Sims 5 on Unreal Engine, but it’s not been specified if the game will fully release on Unreal Engine 5 or not.

When asked if the hackers will make these generated codes and access the game public, Insider Gaming wasn’t given an answer before the publication of this report.

Apart from the potential disaster though, it seems like The Sims 5 is already going down well with fans. “Everyone loves it in the playtest discord”, said one source.

The initial Playtest for The Sims 5 is the main culprit and reason why the game got hacked. Playtesters were able to invite folks who are not a part of the EA Playtest group. Which lead to the game getting in the hands of hackers who cracked the game files.

Considering that the initial playtest of The Sims 5 was secret, it’s unknown if EA will ever make a statement about the game’s unfortunate hacking.

Project Rene / The Sims 5 is still very early in development. We wrote back in January 2021 that The Sims 5 will be prototyped and developed in Unreal Engine 5. But it’s unclear if the final state of the game will rely on this engine or not.

Stay tuned on Sims Community for the latest news and developments on The Sims 5.

We have a small update here as we get ready for the upcoming release, so let’s just go on in and see what you can expect in the update.

Bug Fixes

Base Game

Sims will run while performing a Go Here interaction if the distance is long enough.
- …and they aren’t lazy
- …and do not currently have a buff that would prevent running..
- Sims should also run from fires. Unless they don’t. Then they’ll probably just catch fire and run in place.
Chest deformations should once again expand correctly on female Sims with masculine frames.
Change Phone Color after queuing should no longer re-queue in the action queue after traveling, or saving and reloading the game.
Completed goals as part of the New in Town scenario will now disappear on completing the goal, rather than waiting for a time out delay.
Completing the aspiration goal of Have a Boyfriend or Girlfriend before the Soulmate and Serial Romantic aspiration goals are active, will now complete the goal appropriately.

Consoles

Pressing RT/R2 or LT/L2 while in the Likes & Dislikes options in Create a Sim will no longer close the interface, and change the controller focus to a hidden interface.

High School Years

Black is no longer the only color option for the yuMakeupEyebrows_EP12EGirl eyebrows.

Werewolves

Newly transformed werewolves will now transform with appropriate varieties in their occult form fur patterns, rather than just going with the all black all the time look.

How to create Spooky Lamps in The Sims 4

From creepy to cute, these lamps can fit in any Halloween themed room. Learn how you can create them from scratch!

It’s officially Halloween! Celebrate it in the Sims with these build ideas that can either haunt or flaunt your builds.

Before doing anything, bb.moveobjects on cheat must be on. Unlock the debug menu by opening the cheat bar first with Ctrl+Shift+C then typing in ‘bb.showhiddenobjects’ and ‘bb.showliveeditobjects’. Hit Ctrl+Shift+C again to close the cheat bar.

Let’s get started!

1) Baby Doll Lamp

For the Base Game version, search for ‘baby’ in the Build/Buy catalog and select this dark outline of an inanimate Sim baby (don’t worry, it’s just an object).

Or if you have Parenthood, search for ‘booboo’ and select this doll.

Size it up one time with the ‘]’ key and hide its body under an end table. You can also elevate the object if needed by pressing Ctrl+9.

Then to top it all off, add the most expensive table lamp from Base Game (since its stem is hidden easily). Size it down once.

You get these eerie doll head lamps that can give you spooky chills.

2) Mother Plant Lamp

Look for the ‘Strange Sprout Sculpture’ in the StrangerVille game pack and size it down 2 times by clicking ‘]’.

Add any lamp you want but this industrial lamp from Base Game works the best.

This sculpture also comes in a variety of colors so make sure to change your light color too to fit your Halloween mood.

3) Skull Lamp

This just uses the sugar skulls from Base Game! Search for ‘Nadia’, ‘Kevin’, ‘Joel’, or any of the skulls’ names (yes, they have names). Size it down once with the ‘]’ key.

Then use this shaded lamp from Vampires.

Next, place the skull on the table slot first. Then drag it away so it stays at the same height placement. Elevate it one time with Ctrl+9.

Now you should drag the table one square away first. Place the sugar skull where the table was originally. After that, place the table back. This is just to avoid the skull from clipping to the table slot.

They’re not just for Halloween! These skull-base lamps can also work for other cool builds like gothic vintage or teenage bedrooms.

4) Grim Reaper Shade

Grab this Grim toy from Nifty Knitting and size it up once with ‘]’.

Then just do the same method with the skull lamp!

You can also use this technique to display your other knitted plushies.

5) Ghost Candelabra

First, grab this gnome statue from Base Game and size it down one time with ‘]’. Place it on the table slot first then drag it away.

Next, get this 4-candle candelabra from Vampires. Then simply place back the gnome in the table slot.

This spooky guy can now officially haunt your Halloween builds.

6) Floating Ghost Lamp

Use this oil lamp from Base Game and place it on the table.

Then just grab any of these ghost lights from the Spooky stuff pack. Size it down to its smallest size by clicking ‘]’ 3 times.

Elevate it with Ctrl+9 to make it hover inside the lamp. You can press and hold the Alt key to place it precisely inside the lamp.

It looks like ghosts are coming out of the candle!

7) Pink Monster Lamp

Search for ‘puppet’ and use this item from Parenthood. Size it up with the ‘]’ key. Place it on the table and just add and size down the expensive Base Game lamp in a pink shade. This looks best for kids and toddlers too!

Watch this quick tutorial to see how these spooky lamps were done:

Don’t Fret! How to Recover a Sims 4 Save

This useful Sims 4 Save File Recovery walkthrough will keep you reassured!

Did Dad get abducted by aliens or did you save without your cc installed and you need to retrieve a Sims 4 save? There are many reasons why someone would need to retrieve a save file. The quite easy to learn process to recover a Sims 4 save can be done straight from the main menu!

Want to know how to retrieve a save file? Just follow a few simple steps in this Sims 4 Save File Recovery tutorial and you’ll be able to recover your last five saves!

Sims 4 Save File Recovery Tutorial

Step 1: Open Load Game

Load up The Sims 4. On the right hand side, choose the Load Game option. This is the third option down right under the Play Scenario button.

Then, the Load Game pop-up box lists all of your saves in the order of the last save date and time.

Step 2: Recover Save From Main Menu

This will bring up a list of Sims 4 save files. Then, choose the save you want to recover and click on it. When selected, two buttons will appear. There is a button that has the file name and another that is a floppy disk. This floppy disk button is located on the right hand side of the rectangle and allows you to recover your saves. Click on the floppy disk button.

Sims 4 Save File Recovery: Recover Save Option

Step 3: Choose which Sims 4 Save to Recover

After choosing the floppy disk, another box will appear listing the last five Sims 4 save files for this file. Choose the save you want based on the date/time and order of the saves. Then, click on Recover. (If you want, the option to delete a backup is available.)

Sims 4 Save File Recovery Step 4: Recover Save

Then, click on the checkmark in the pop-up to confirm that you want to recover the save. Meanwhile, nothing will happen to your original copy. This checkmark is acknowledging that you want to create a new recovered save from the original save data.

Step 5: Load Recovered Sims 4 Save

In summary, the recovered save will now be the first listed save within your load game pop-up. As a result, the original save will be labelled with [recovered]. Then, make sure to rename the save to something distinguishable from the original copy of the save!

Hopefully now you will know how to recover a save file next time something unexpected happens in your game!
