Facing issues with your Sims 4 Installation?
You came to the right place! Thanks to Anadius, there's a free on line tool that verifies your installation for errors, The Sims 4 Validator!
It was designed to check if you have all the necessary files, if your files are up to date and, optionally, it can also test if any of the files are corrupted (it takes longer).
Instructions
For a basic verification, first you need to visit The Sims 4 Validator Page [External Link]:
Once you are there (after the usual link shortener screens), make yourself sure that the option "Quick Scan" is enabled, unless you really need to test the files for data corruption (problems during downloading or drive / file system issues), since the non quick scan takes way longer:
Is there anything else I can try for the red files? I tried to repair but its not working. The game folder turned red after the update. I don't have my windows defender on so i'm not sure what happened. Anything I can do other than reinstalling?
On Yandex Disk App, Right click the affected folder(s), select "Keep Online Only". Right click them again, select "Save to my computer" again. Wait a while and see if it synchronizes.
Also, verify that you have enough space available.
Hi! For some reason this is the only post it was allowing me to comment on (I tried commenting on the most recent patch post but it wasn't allowing me to), but I'm having some issues with the game. I just downloaded the latest patch and everything is working fine except it isn't allowing me to move the facial features up or down. I'll check for mod issues but I don't think this is the case. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi. That sounds like a custom content or mod issue. Please try to run the game with all mods and CC disabled to see if it works.
