A recently released "The Sims 4" expansion has been experiencing problems, and this is something that gamers have already raised with Electronic Arts. However, it took some time before the company has finally addressed the issue.
The main issue lies with "The Sims 4's" latest "For Rent" expansion, which tends to corrupt the save files made by users, leaving them to lose precious progress and experiences in the game.
Despite being an old game, "The Sims 4" remains popular because of the many downloadable content available.
EA Addresses 'The Sims 4' 'For Rent' Expansion Issue
The latest from EA's The Sims Direct Communications account on X shares an announcement that addresses the issue found on "The Sims 4's" "For Rent" expansion that is corrupting save files. According to the company, they are already aware of the issue that has been pestering gamers and their saved files, and the company said that they are investigating it further.
However, that is all that there is to EA's announcement, with the company yet to share additional information about what is causing this issue to persist, especially as gamers have long raised this to the company.
According to EA, fans and gamers should continue to share their experiences in the "For Rent" expansion's bug in the EA Forums thread, focusing on the corrupted save files to help them in their investigation.
It is important to note that gamers began to notice the issues in its save files shortly after it was released. This led to the expansion facing significant criticism and poor reception from its player base and is already one of the lowest-rated "The Sims 4" expansions on Steam.
Is the 'For Rent' Expansion Still Corrupting Save Files?
For now, gamers have to bear with the issue as those who have been playing it since its release are still experiencing the corruption bug that severely affects save files.
The game's "For Rent" expansion is EA's answer to the massive requests from gamers to get the "landlord" experience in the game instead of being the renter or homeowner at all times. Through this, Simmers may create and design their apartment complexes or vacation homes in the different maps to offer to the market, making it one of the easiest ways to earn money through legitimate means.
EA Not Yet Ready With a Fix For 'The Sims 4'
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of "The Sims" franchise, and despite the celebration over at EA, they are now plagued with numerous complaints from gamers regarding the "For Rent" expansion's issues.
To this day, gamers are still raising their concerns regarding their saved files and the expansion's problems as the issues persist, with the problem already running for three months without any fix from EA's end.
While there are no fixes yet from EA, gamers may still enjoy other expansions on "The Sims 4" or play its regular "Standard Mode" to avoid losing progress brought by the said DLC's problems.
