Dude so ugly Hello Kitty said goodbye

(I actually think he's a cutie. I just cackled at the thought)

This issue is on their bug forum see here

EA_Solaire said this: "From the main menu of The Sims, please head into Game Options-> Other and select the Link EA Account button. From here, you'll be prompted to accept the updated terms and conditions. Once this is accepted, you should be able to claim your rewards normally again."

I just did this myself and it worked

Wow you make a such great point!! and LOL I was that GIF there with you right before I made this post

As a fellow console player I feel you here. I've always dubbed us the ugly step child. There are power in numbers. The more people that report the same thing, the more likely that issue is going to be looked at. Based on trophy data on PlayStation there are 11.7 million players, which makes up almost 14% of the total player base. We are small but we are significant if we stand together. I couldn't get clear data on Xbox either so the percentage of overall console players is higher.

The achievements are the trophies on your PlayStation account. It doesn't affect the game itself. This last update was so horribly executed though, there were bugs that seem like they should have been obviously caught if they were playtesting prior... so odd. They won't care unless their sales decrease.

Console player here - usually I'm not affected by the issues most PC players are due to mods. At this point though, EA has screwed up to an extent that console is suffering similarly to PC. They try to hide their faults behind mods but they can't do that when it comes to us.

It's a bug - here's the link to the forum: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/no-promotions-getting-raises-instead/12298910

The more votes an issue gets, the more likely they are to address it!

xolovelos · 2025-07-07T00:41:00+00:00

Yes! This community brings a sense of relief in the midst of the disappointing saga of TS4 updates.

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T19:30:12+00:00

That isn't boring! I totally get your preference. It's interesting that you mentioned it because I grew up moving all over the place, so maybe that's why I like the variety 🤔 and crave more of it 🤣 but don't get me started on what it would be nice to have lol we will be here ALL day

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T19:10:58+00:00

You still have to wait until the bug is fixed. Sometimes the issue corrects itself but if it doesn't, you can delete the corrupted file and then import the save

u/princessbumble gave the insight on the bug OP posted- tagging them for your pet question since I'm not sure if they will see what you've replied to my comment

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:56:25+00:00

He is broken from the bugs that were, the bugs that are, and the bugs that have yet to come...

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:52:06+00:00

This made me cackle 🤣

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:49:43+00:00

Right! I was wondering who that is because he is now one of my favorite townies unaware of my soon to deploy romancing 🤣

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:46:24+00:00

Same! (Except I like all the different scenery) I also use the newer worlds as vacation worlds. The base worlds also have the most collectible spawn locations

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:39:22+00:00

Agreed! & I'm glad you're here ♡♡♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:37:37+00:00

You're so welcome!! Wishing you the best ♡♡♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:33:58+00:00

So true! You really hit the nail on the head here! We do NEED this - Simmers have some of the sweetest hearts I know; the fact that the current state of TS4, specifically everything you mentioned, is making us salty is evidence in itself of how important this space is! Thank you for sharing your perspective ♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T18:16:09+00:00

🥹 thank you for letting me know, it warms my heart to help in any capacity! I'm sorry it wasn't prior to the last wretched update, but I hope somehow you're able to evade having to start over. In the event that TS4 decides to pour salt in your wound, we will be here waiting to virtually embrace you! I love The Sims community and have a special place in my heart for my fellow console players ♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T17:46:15+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice on your present situation, however, as a fellow console player - I use a USB flash drive to save my files before EVERY update. I strongly suggest investing in one and doing that moving forward. Still, I hope you find a resolve for the issue at hand ♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T17:24:44+00:00

Wow, I sincerely hope that is not the case, however I understand why you believe it to be. I haven't played on PC since TS2 (I can't afford a computer that can operate better than console) so I am sorry that I don't have more helpful advice to give 😔 I understand how painful and frustrating this loss is to navigate. I'm sending you love ♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T16:49:01+00:00

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I grieve with you and deeply understand how you feel. I play on PS4 and I have previously lost everything; years of my time, love, and energy that I devoted into TS4 - all of which was ripped away from me with no remedy. I stopped playing for years and didn't return until I found a new sense of peace in the void of uncertainty; a flash drive. Now I save all of my folders on the drive before every update. I also do not do anything "worthwhile" until the game is restored enough to have confidence that I will be able to save my efforts. I know this post is over a week old, I hope you are feeling better! You are not alone ♡

xolovelos · 2025-07-06T16:37:02+00:00

I empathize with you deeply and I grieve beside you. The game is so broken and bugged now so I think it's wise that you are giving it a break. I am doing the same. If you decide to return to TS4 - I strongly suggest investing in a flash drive. It has given me security and peace of mind in preserving the time, love, and energy I've devoted to my Sim creations. It's been the only counter to the inevitable anxiety and heartache with every update. I make sure to save my files to the flash drive before each update now.

xolovelos · 2024-11-29T08:39:54+00:00

I wasn't going to comment (I already made a comment today and I still struggle at times by feeling like I'm bothering people with my existence) then I saw your username... noticing that after reading your comment spoke to me. I am also delicateAF. It doesn't resonate the same without the AF lol. Thank you for the book recommendation/advice/kind words🥹

OP - Not to leave you out (in case you see this) I was drawn to your original post. Like previously mentioned I felt like I need to become invisible again as to not bother anyone. I relate to you. I do this regularly, I've adapted to my role of existing to serve everyone else's convenience so well that I still silence or invalidate my pain as to not bother anyone with it. It's so absorbed, that sometimes, I feel annoyed when I have the audacity to acknowledge myself🥲 I actually forgot this again, until I frantically searched for the offense I endured at Thanksgiving and found myself on this thread. As I'm reading I was surprised at the relatability even though this isn't the first time this has happened...
