Eco Lifestyle won't download when trying to repair game.

When ever I try playing on one of my older save (a 2 year save file) after the new February 2026 update, game freezes but in game effects still move. After exiting, I tried to repair the game itself, everything downloaded except for Eco lifestyle. Stating that a download error occurred, therefore pausing the entire repair download. All mods are also updated, however when I thought it may be a mod conflicting, I removed the mods from the mods folder then tried to repair again. But no change, Eco Lifestyle still won't get repaired and downloaded. I need help!

    For the original issue, does the freeze happen just after midnight?  There's an issue here that's mostly mod-related, generally (but maybe not exclusively) MCCC trying to auto-marry sims.  Disabling this setting usually fixes the issue.

    Other than that, iif only one save is affected, there are troubleshooting steps you can try that don't involve repairing the game.  For example, try playing a different household, one you've never played before.  If it works, try moving your main household to a new lot.  You don't need to save your progress; the point is to see whether the issue is the lot or the sims.
