After being delayed for a week and despite still being full of bugs, The Sims 4: My Marriage Stories is out.
There are many reports of bugs surrounding Marriage, but some players can’t even step into the world to experience these new bugs on their own.
We have to give EA some slack here, as the bug appears to be caused by mods rather than the new Sims 4 My Wedding Stories game pack, but it’s frustrating nonetheless.
Many gamers have noticed an update to the game alongside the release of the new My Wedding Stories game pack, but there doesn’t seem to have been any official announcement from The Sims team about it.
Sims players know all too well that the Beloved Mods folder is usually the first port of call for troubleshooting after updates, but you’d be forgiven for thinking you were imagining this update (we’ve got it certainly did).
Fix for The Sims 4 Tartosa world not loading
The reports of the new world that have been published with My Wedding Stories, Tartosa, without loading, are largely from PC readers. So, it goes without saying that this possible solution only applies if you are having the problem and using a PC as your platform.
Installing the new Sims 4 game pack works smoothly and if you don’t care to play the world right away, you might not even notice it until you try to access it.
When trying to get to Tartosa from the neighborhoods screen – with or without moving in a Sim – the world freezes as a blank screen. The menus remain accessible, and saving and exiting the game works very well.
But no matter how many times you try – including starting a brand new Sims 4 save game – all players see is a blank screen.
Fortunately, one of the solutions to this problem is simple. We all know that it is recommended to remove our mods when installing new content for the first time, but the lifespan is too short.
While this may not apply to all players, fixing the Tartosa not loading issue simply requires you to temporarily move your mods folder, reload the game, clear the cache, and then put the folder back where it belongs. .
Some players have also reported that simply moving our beloved Take Objects Off Lot (TOOL mod from TwistedMexi), reloading and then re-adding the mod also fixes the issue. A useful tip if you have a large folder of mods that may take a while to move. If the trick of turning it off and on doesn’t work for you, you should also check that your CC and mods are up to date.
If none of that works, you might be in the good old troubleshoot of finding broken Sims 4 CCs and mods. If that doesn’t work either, or you’re playing on a console where you can’t even use mods or CC, the EA help forums are all that’s left.
EA claimed that they would not be able to release the pack in Russia without changes to the marketing of the My Wedding Stories pack due to “federal law” and suggested that they were taking a moral stance in favor of LGBTQ Simmers.
Russian Simmers were quick to point out that was not the case. EA has reversed its decision, with The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories game pack releasing globally a week later than originally scheduled.
