How does The Sims 4 Pack selection work?
Pack selection is a Marketplace feature that lets you customize which Packs you want active in The Sims 4. This is helpful for storytelling and your gameplay experience, as well as freeing up resources without needing to uninstall Packs you’re not currently using. Pack selection is available on all platforms: PC, Mac, PlayStation® and XBOX.How do I use Pack selection to activate or deactivate Packs?
Here’s how to load or unload Packs from your game:- 1Launch The Sims 4 and go to the Marketplace.
- From the Main Menu, select Marketplace at the top of the screen.
- Or, select the shopping cart icon in the top-right corner while in Live Mode, Build Mode, or Create a Sim.
- 2Select the My Collection tab and choose Pack Selection.
- 3Use the checkbox at the top-left corner of each Pack to select or deselect the Packs you want in your game.
- If a Pack is currently active, the checkbox in the top-left corner is selected. There’s also a green Active label in the bottom-left corner of the Pack tile.
- If a Pack isn’t currently active, the checkbox in the top-left corner isn’t selected. There’s also a grey Deactivated label in the bottom-left corner of the Pack tile.
- 4Select Confirm.
If you deactivate a Pack, your saved game will lose access to any Pack-specific content it uses, including hair, clothing, traits, and objects.Deactivating Packs can also impact existing save files. To avoid losing any content or progress, it’s best to use Pack Selection only when creating a new save.We recommend disabling all Mods before activating or deactivating any Packs. Check out our article on how to disable Mods. Always make sure your save files are backed up. For help with this, learn how to back up and reset The Sims 4.
How do I know if my saved game is missing Packs?
If you try to load a saved game that uses Packs you’ve deactivated since you last played, it’ll be flagged as missing required Packs. This happens because your game save uses content from a deactivated Pack.Here’s how to check whether a saved game uses content from a deactivated Pack:- 1Launch The Sims 4 and go to the Main Menu.
- 2Select Resume Game or Load Game, then choose the saved game you want to play.

- View Pack(s) on the right side of the saved game tile.
- Select this button to check which currently deactivated Packs are used in your saved game.
If your Sims were living in a world that’s specific to a Pack you deactivated, your Household will still be available in the Manage Households menu.
