Hi there RichMeSuperRich Could you share your save file so we can investigate into this? If you're willing to share your save, please DM me with a link using the instructions here.
Hello dear EA_Solaire . I have uploaded several my saves ranging from 2025 to 2024, all of which I have tested without mods and CC but still corrupt after August updates. I haven't played Sims 4 for 3 months. These saves functioned normally before and I didn't change anything after later updates, but now in all of them, neighboring lots show default thumbnails and some lots/households cannot be loaded with endless loading screen, e.g. Everdew from Innisgree.

The save named Slot_0000000d.save is what I successfully restored from 2023 Dec.2 save, which now I haven't noticed corruption yet. But it's two years ago, lost all progress afterwards.
The save named Slot_000999ad.save is what I have played all the time until Aug.4 2025 last time since the launch of Sims 4, with countless days and devotion of emotions for ten years. I haven't touched or changed anything after that day. But all my saves after 2024 including this main one are suddenly corrupt now.
I sincerely hope EA can fix this save corruption issue asap. It's so serious and devastating for loyal players.... I can't imagine starting all over again, that completely destroys my interest and passion for this game.
