Re: Corrupt save file

@alicem010 Did you close down the game between loading that corrupt save game or just go back to the main menu ?

Did you also delete the localthumbcache file after removing your mods/cc ?

  • I tested the game by reentering overtime, it was the same as the screenshot. 

    I didn't remove or delete anything, I use the sims mod manager, so I don't think that's the problem.

    Try the following

    • Close 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.
