The Fabricator is a central element in The Sims 4 Eco-Lifestyle expansion just like the Meat Wall. You can use this handy tool to create a plethora of furniture items that you can then use or sell.
The Fabricator is tightly connected to the Fabrication skill, a new skill your Sim should focus on developing in Eco-Lifestyle.
This skill allows your Sim to better use the Fabricator.
But what do you do when the Fabricator is not working? There have been many reports where gamers complained the Fabricator breaks down at least once a day.
If you’ve got no idea where to start, here are a few solutions to help you out.
You can use this guide to fix the Sims 4 Fabricator making noise issue as well.

Fix 2 – Repair your game
If certain Sims 4 files got corrupted, some of the game features, such as the Fabricator may also break. The solution is to use Origin’s built-in game repair tool.
Open your game library → right-click Steam → select Repair game.
Wait until the tool has scanned The Sims 4 and restart the game. Pay attention if the Fabricator breaks again after you repaired the game.
Fix 3 – Fabricate only items requested for a job
Some players noticed that the Fabricator breaks almost every time they try to fabricate items that are not requested for a job. As a workaround, avoid fabricating items the game does not request you to.
Sure, recycling various used items and turning them into new pieces of furniture, for example, can be really fun. But it’s not really necessary and it seems it could also break the game.
Wrapping up
If the Sims 4 Fabricator breaks down, the amount of dyes and bits and pieces lost is not at all neglectable. If you’re looking for a Sims 4 Fabricator noise fix, we hope this guide helped you in one way or another.
