"Over the past several months, quite a few players have noticed an eerie bug that turns all of their family photos black. While the bug has apparently been around for a whopping five years, it seems like it's become rampant over the past several months. Photos serve as arguably the game's most sentimental feature, and they've become a handy way to keep track of memories from past generations, so players are understandably really, really upset."
"The bug has proven especially devastating for players who play in the same family for generations. Reddit user iiappie noted that they had lost 7.5 generations of photos, sharing a screenshot of a gallery with hundreds of photos all gone. And Reddit user LilNyoomf shared that every memorial photo in their entire cemetery was completely wiped."
"As if the family photo bug isn't already horrible enough, the game is also apparently now deleting entire Sims from the family tree UI, meaning players who don't archive their progress through some external method are just losing all records of their dead Sims (other than their literal graves)."
The Sims 4 faces a devastating bug that has persisted for five years but recently became widespread, turning all family photos black and erasing them entirely. This bug is particularly destructive for players maintaining multi-generational families, as photos serve as the game's primary sentimental feature for tracking memories. Additionally, the game now deletes entire Sims from the family tree UI, causing players to lose all records of deceased Sims unless they maintain external backups. Players have reported losing hundreds of photos spanning multiple generations, with memorial photos in cemeteries completely wiped. Developer Maxis appears unable to fix the issue, prompting frustration and player exodus.
