bro im in the middle of playing sims so what on earth do i do bc my triplets have aged up into kids plus i moved houses and made my new house from scratch so i cant do anything unless i can save my game
I've been playing with the same household for a week and today my save decided not to work. I was able to get it back moving the saves folder from Documents > Eletronic Arts > The sims 4 to another place. Then, inside the saves folder, I looked for the most recent save I had. I opened up the game with no saves and closed it. Check if another "saves" folder was created on Documents > Eletronic Arts > The Sims 4. Go through your old "saves" folder and put it back one by one inside the new folder, see if you can find the one save that is corrupted or if it works now. If it doesn't work, look for your last save inside that older folder, check out for a file with ".ver" extension. Get this file and put it inside the saves folder on The Sims 4 directory and erase ONLY the ".ver", confirm and try again. It worked for me, I lost a little progress but nothing relevant. Hopefully it can also help some of you!
So I tried this, but in a different way. I knew which save file was corrupted but I tested if I could recover some of it through the last few saves on the game instead of through the file location. And the first few i tried to "recover" wouldn't work. But as soon as I recovered a save that had a different household loaded into it, it worked and was playable again. Idk if it was the household or a specific sim that was corrupted but at least I didn't lose all my progress from that save file. Thanks for this! I've been fighting trying to save this for about the weeks now! 😅
So I have an issue where at this point I have forgotten how to build, still to this day I cannot get into actually playing the game, I can crate a sim but once I try moving into a lot I am now faced with a infinite loading screen loop that I cannot escape unless restarting my PC/Laptop, I used to have no problem for years and now suddenly it wants to be difficult (Epic Games and EA) this may just be a glitch or something but I cannot fix this at all, I have tried watching videos on how to fix it but faced with risky options in my files or programming that I do not want to do or mess up just for a game, if you have a simple and less risky solution to this, please make a video or comment below on how…😔😭🤔
I've recently had this issue. It was just one household. Even after removing mods. Even after updating/ reinstalling every single mod. Even after updating/ repairing and uninstalling files, game, and ea. Even after transferring saves to new folders on the game. As well as mods, etc. However, what did work was recovering the save until it did work. Which just so happened to be same save file, loaded onto another family. So it could have been the household or a specific sim that was corrupted. Im too afraid to mess with it to find out. I'm accepting that i lost a bit of progress but for the sake of it being that rather than the whole save file that's alright. Im still fairly certain it has something to do with the for rent pack because problems started directly after i decided to mess around with it for the first time. And it conveniently loaded on the save right before i bought a rental.

Hey! I have a problem with my sims. I downloaded some mods a few days ago. And everything worked fine. I downloaded stuff like cc clothes cc furniture and mods to the game. But after some 6 hours of playing. It suddenly wouldnt let me build or anything. When i try to click its says that the game is still loading. But after minutes of waiting it still says the same. And i cant save my game either. I have to leave without saving. Do you have a solution?
Have you tried updating your game, if that doesn’t work it usually means there’s some outdated cc that you’ve installed in your game try going back to the websites where you got your cc and make sure you’ve downloaded the latest version. Let me know if that helps 💗
@@kaytheesimmer thank you sm! I’ll try that tmr and let you know if it works! But also since im a lil new to pc and gaming and stuff. How do i update my sims 4 app from The EA app?
@@selinaltay1473 Updating your game is really simple there are so many 5 minute videos here you can find one by searching “how to update sims 4 on ea app” you can also try to repair your game after updating it. It should fix the problem :)

I honestly think it had something to do with for rent pack. 😅
Excuse me how the hell am i supposed to do that without losing my save file that it the point i came to this video so wth

You can Back up your saves. And transfer those to the new files. There are videos to help on UA-cam. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

It’s not all my households it’s literally just one household that won’t load
exactly, one house in particular... and I have so many mods that it will take me forever to identify one by one which one is problematic...
@@clematheodorou9617 exactly its literally my main household
did you ever find the problem im having the same issue
I’m having the same issue now…did you ever get yours fixed
Same. I got rid of all my mods and still same with that save file.
12 fixes and none of them will work
same here
It has worked for many!

@@Silicophilicgirl no it hasn’t
So I’m in the loading screen, but what do I do now I’ve done all the methods except for restart and it still hasn’t loaded
