Error code 532 in Sims 4 can be best described as an error that occurs when a broken piece of custom content or cc is chosen for the day in the game. This will make the game fail to save, and you’ll lose all your progress since the last saving point.

What is the cause of error code 532 in Sims 4?

This Sims 4 error code is caused by Trendi system, which was not built to support custom content. The Trendi system is an expansion pack that unlocks a couple of ways to play the game but has its limitations. The system does not integrate well with other mods.

Players with multiple mods using the Trendi system will likely experience error code 532 when trying to save. The Trendi system’s file extensions will likely overwrite the default save format.

How to fix error code 532 in Sims 4

From our research, there are four major ways to fix the error. Try them out until you find what works for you.

Method 1: Save your game

Method 2: Remove Custom Content

This method gets a bit technical, but you can still knock it down with a few tries. You need to identify all your custom content to solve the error via this tweak. Ensure you have listed down all the cc you have made available in the game.

Review all the custom content to see which one is broken. After identifying the item, remove its rarity tag. If you cannot remove the rarity tag, you may need to delete the content permanently. A disclaimer on this: Deleting the CC permanently will impact areas of your gameplay. Content such as clothes might disappear.

Method 3: Use a mod

In the same way, modes might have made your game fail to save. They might fix it. A developer in the Sim community known as LeRoiDeTout has created a Band-aid Mod for this bug.

The mod helps players identify what Custom Content is broken in the game. Drag and drop the file to your mods folder to diagnose errors using this mod. The Band-aid mod creates a file named invalid_CAS_part_IDs.txt listing all the CAS part IDs.

Follow the steps below to find out which content is broken

1. Copy all IDs from the invalid_CAS_part_IDs.txt, click tools, and open Hash Generator. Enter the IDs in the Hexadecimal line.
2. Copy the Decimal conversion.
3. Use Ctrl + Shift + C (Windows) to open the command console.
4. Type resource.find, then paste the decimal number.
5.  Select Ok.
6. You should receive a pop-up that tells you exactly what item this number belongs to.
7. Repeat for all affected items and remove them or the tags from each item.

You can refer to the steps while doing the process. This will guide you in handling the issue properly. You can also download and install Sims 4 studio to remove tags.

Method 4: Update your game

Sims 4 continuously releases game updates that contain patches for common errors. The Sims 4 studio has a batch to fix this error. Ensure you batch-fix all the CAS you might have recently downloaded first.

Remove any defaults that are still running and select all updates to run. With the above methods, you won’t experience any moment the game failed to save. Remember, you can always visit the Sims 4 Website for updates.

Sims with five active points or more can be specifically instructed to run rather than walk. Instructing playable Sims to skip is also possible, which is quicker than walking. Players can customize a Sim’s walking patterns in The Sims 4’s Create a Sim feature.

Several other walk styles are applicable, including the default walk style, perky walk, snobbish walk, swagger walk, feminine walk, tough walk, goofy walk, sluggish walk, and bouncing walk.

Why are Sims walking like they need to pee?

The autonomous action for Sims in the winter when there is a blizzard is to rush inside, although their behavior is the same as when they need to urinate on a very low bladder. It is also apparent during thunderstorms in a different save.

The Sims briefly have the pee walk style when they enter the house from the cold. This takes place at home. The Sims do not run into the house when the action to do so is queued up; instead, they walk like they need to go to the bathroom.

Do my Sims have a bladder problem?

If they are weary or their bladder need is low, Sims in The Sims 4 will walk differently than their preferred walk style. Strong emotions like anger will also alter the way Sims walk.

However, until EA releases a statement, we won’t know where this bug has come from. Many say it has something to do with the “Tense” emotional state that Sims might experience. Users have referred to this malfunction as a game-breaking problem.

Why is my Sim stuck in the bathroom?

The most common reason is when the door freezes when a Sim is taking a shower. A bug could impact the bathroom door.

Many users have repeatedly noticed it, and there are two ways you can fix the issue. One is to enter Build or Buy, pick up the bathroom door, and replace it. However, you must do this after each time a sim takes a shower.

While it worked, you could also replace the bathroom door with a different kind of door. This will instantly make the Sims function properly. Additionally, deleting the door or even removing it and putting it back in again may work.

Noteworthy, it causes previous household members not to be able to enter the house without an invite. You will not get options either when you click on the sim.

One potential reason is that the sim became caught in a loop due to a game glitch. The sim might have unintentionally been transferred to a different family in another scenario.

The Sims 4 neighbors bug can be fixed through the following steps:

1. Invite the Sim to your home

Since the sim can’t enter your house, you must invite them in. Click on the sim you want to return to your household and then the invite button.

When the sim returns to your house, it will become a household member again.

2. Have a household sim interact with the now-neighbor sim

One thing we noticed with this bug is that whenever a household member interacts with the sim that has now been labeled neighbor, they are converted back to being a household member.

You should either have another household sim invite the sim or send another sim to interact with the incorrectly tagged sim. Once they interact, you should move the family back to their original lot using the Go Home command or Send Everyone Home commands.

3. Reload the game

Reloading the game works in some instances. Make sure to save your progress, exit the game, close it, and reopen it.

Since you are dealing with a bug, the issue is likely to resolve by reopening the game. If this method doesn’t solve the error or if it only does so temporarily, then proceed to the next.

4. Move the sim back to its original household

If the sim has been moved to a different household by mistake, you can try moving them back to its original household.

To do this, go to the household management menu and select the sim, then choose the option to move them back to their original household.

5. Try repairing the game

If none of the above steps work, you may need to try repairing the game. To do this, go to the game’s installation folder and locate the “Repair” option.

Some residential lots were converted to generic ones after the patch, although residents remained. You have to modify it again to make it residential.
