Re: Game reverted to previous save point after exiting CAS

@Bunnycuddles Sounds like your game didn't save. Did you manually save before you went to CAS ? What happens if you save your game and then leave and reload, does that save properly ?

  • Hello

    Thanks for your response. I don't think I was clear enough in what I wrote.

    After leaving CAS, I would not expect the game to reload to the previous save file. It should go back to where you were playing before you went into CAS. 

    I selected CAS using the "Change Sim" option on a mirror and did not quit the game, return to main menu. The game didn't crash. It was kind of like a groundhog day thing! 

    Normally you would go into "change Sim" and when you leave it, everything would be as you left it. 

    I think I will load the same save again and play it the same way and see if the same thing happens, then I can try and get video/screenshot if it does. 

    Sorry if I'm not making any sense, I barely slept last night (Not Sims 4 related though!)

    @Bunnycuddles If the game writes files every time you have a loading screen. If it can't write those because of for example an antivirus program blocking the folder, things will revert.

    So I'm wondering if you can normally save or if that also gives you issues.

    Can you also try another save if you have the same issue ?
  • That makes sense. I have ran the same save again, but this time saved more often. The infant aged up and this time I was able to go into CAS and edit her without any issues. It is possible the issue may be my antivirus program, I have just remembered that I set an exception for Origin, but I recently got switched to the EA app, so I need to add that as an exception too! 

    Saving normally seems to be fine. I am hoping it was just a one off. I'll report back if it happens again after changing my antivirus settings. 

    Thanks.
