IF YOU CAN'T ENABLE CC 🌸

Sul sul ^^

After today updates, I wasn't able to enable CC again. It doesn't matter how many times I closed and launched the game.

So I remembered that this had already happened to me before.

If you're going through the same problem, this is how you can fix it:

HOW TO ENABLE CC AGAIN:

1- On the game home page, in the bottom right corner of the screen, you can see what the current game version is. After today's update, mine was: 1.108.318.1020. Launch the game and check the number that appears for you.

2- In your game folder (Documents>Electronic Arts> The Sims 4) you'll find a file called "GameVersion". There will be a number.

The number in that file has to match the current game version number.

When I opened mine, it was "1.107.151.1020". So I just updated it to "1.108.318.1020" and saved. Then when I launched the game I could enable CC again.

Note 1: There's a "space" before the number in "GameVersion" (as if it were a paragraph). Keep that space. Change the numbers exactly where they are.

Note 2: If you prefer, before changing the number, make a backup copy of "GameVersion" just in case. It won't harm your game, but it's better, just to prevent and make it safer.

💎 If you want a tutorial video, I made one about it some time ago. You can watch it here :)

NOTE:

Apparently for some people the "GameVersion" file is encoded (showing symbols).

Try doing this: 

1- Save a copy of "GameVersion" elsewhere so you can use it again if something goes wrong. It's also a good idea to have a backup of your "Saves" and "Tray" folder.

2- Launch your game and check what version of the game shows up to you. Mine is currently "1.108.318.1020". I believe yours is too.

3- Open "GameVersion" and in place of symbols, put the numbers. For example: if it shows "%$3.&%$#" replace it with the game's currently version (probably "1.108.318.1020" as of now). And save.

4- Try launching the game and see if it works. If not, replace this "GameVersion" file you modified for the backup copy you had saved.

This sorts of issues are crazy, since I never see EA addressing them at all. If anything, try asking at the "EA Answers" forum. Maybe one of the admins will answer you.

ALSO IMPORTANT AFTER UPDATES:

Remember to delete "localthumbcache". You can find the tutorial here.

I'm currently checking my CC to see if they're still working.

If anything, I'll let you know :)

I hope it helps you if you're having any problems :)

Happy Simming ^^
