Why is my Sims 4 social interactions not working?
The issue of Sims 4 social interactions not working is often caused by mods or CC (Custom Content), and resolving the problem requires manually sorting through these modifications to identify the culprit. By removing the Mods folder and deleting the localthumbcache.package, players can test to confirm if the social interactions are working again, and then proceed to reintroduce their mods one by one to pinpoint the problematic one.
Understanding Sims 4 Social Interactions
Sims 4 social interactions are a crucial part of the game, allowing Sims to build relationships, flirt, woohoo, and engage in various social activities. However, when these interactions fail to work, it can be frustrating and disrupt the gameplay experience.
Troubleshooting Social Interactions
To troubleshoot social interaction issues, players should first try removing all mods and CC to see if the problem persists. If the issue is resolved, then it’s likely that one of the mods or CC is causing the problem. Players can then re-add their mods and CC one by one to identify the culprit.
