The Sims 4 is the latest addition to the popular life simulation video game franchise — The Sims. It was released on September 2014 and gradually became one of the best-selling video games.

However, players have also come across different kinds of issues with the video game in the recent past such as weddings not working, game not saving, and Gallery down or not working to name a few.

With that said, The Sims players are now reporting two new issues with the game that are further ruining their gaming experience.

The Sims 4 Pre-order bonus not showing up

Many gamers have taken to Reddit and Twitter to report (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) that they aren’t getting pre-order bonus for the High School Years.

Here are some reports for reference:

Does anyone else have the issue of the bonus content not showing up in game? I’ve reached out to EA but the phone rep wasn’t helpful. I just want the bonus content 😭 Idk if it affects it but the Highschool years shows up under owned packs, but unowned under expansions?? (Source)

@TheSims I pre ordered the highschool pack and didn’t get my pre order bonus for PS4? Is it an error or is an update needed? (Source)

Luckily, EA support has acknowledged this bug and said that they are currently working to resolve it. But they didn’t provide any ETA for the fix.

Prom event missing from calendar

There’s another issue bothering The Sims 4 player where the Prom event is missing (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) from the calendar.

Some players say that the event is there on the calendar but they aren’t able to participate in it, while others are complaining that its not even showing up on the calendar.

Here are some reports for reference:

I have all the packs except star wars and wedding stories. Prom just stops existing after one teen ages up to young adult even though there are other teens and children in the household. The event just doesn’t exist in the calendar after their birthday and they can’t attend it. Is anyone else having this problem? (Source)

@EAHelp i downloaded high school years and the one thing i was excited about wasn’t there☹️ there is no prom or graduation. i repaired it and nothing happened but at the moment i’m uninstalling and reinstalling to see if it works! (Source)

Unfortunately, EA hasn’t yet acknowledged this problem and we hope that it gets resolved soon. Also, we haven’t come across any potential workarounds for any of the above-mentioned bugs.

That said, we will keep tabs on the latest development and update this story as and when anything noteworthy comes up.
