Re: Food spoils imediatly after taking it out of the fridge

Hi @JehYasmyn 

Try the following

  • Close the game
  • Repair the game.
  • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
  • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
  • Close the game again
  • Copy JUST your save game from  Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Saves
  • Start your save
  • Check if you still have the error
  • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    Hi @crinrict 

    I followed the steps you suggested but the food still spoiled rigth after taking it out of the fridge. No mods, no CC in the game, just my save, exactly how you said.

    Do I need to test enything else with this setup or can I reset it to normal?

    Thank you.

    @JehYasmyn Could you first test a new save game as well to see if it's save related.

    You can put stuff back afterwards.

    Thanks.

    @crinrict Thank you for your help.

    I just tested it with a new save and the problem didn't appear, so I guess is reallt save related.

    If I save the old save with Save As to generate a new one, do you think it may solve it? I'd really appreciate any tips to recover that save, since I've been playing a legacy in it.

    Thanks again.

    @JehYasmyn You can try but I'm not hopeful that this works.

    Is every household affected ? If it's just a particular one you can try moving them out and back in.
