What if the Curio Shop isn’t Working?
The Curio Shop is a crucial gameplay point. If the Curio Shop is ever not working for you we have a few things you can try.
Before you repair your game you should travel to another town and reload into a lot nearby. Sometimes the sims 4 has trouble registering new sims into a zone. Next, you can try to remove any mods you may have and delete your localthumbcache.package file. This file is located in your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder. If you play with mods you should be familiar with that folder.
Finally, if the Curio Shop still does not work for you, you have to repair your game through Origin. Occasionally when new packs install files may install incorrectly. Repairing your game will have Origin sort through all of your files and get your game in working order.
