I am having the exact same issue with a large build. The household only contained 5 sims. I tried repairing the game, uninstalling the game, removing mods, cc, creating a new save new blank game. This update had clearly broken by build and I cant even place it in a new empty save without this issue. I have also tried placing older versions of the build without sims. It will let me build but not play the lot with a household. I am so upset. The hours I've put into this lot. I was getting ready to release it for download to my subscribers but if they can't play it its pointless its a year of my rare free time lost. I swear someone at EA better help me fix this. I have a very good gaming computer, the latest drivers. It's not a graphics issue either.
Well if you have gone through this entire bug report, you will understand that there is no solution. I hope EA will be working on fixing the issue, but here are the tips that I have learned from all the troubleshooting we did.
You can save via the escape menu and selecting the save and go to manage worlds option, so any changes to the build can be fixed.
And here is the troubleshooting method, that I could not follow because my build is just far too big for me to figure out. Anyways here is the fix.
Step 1: Go to Load Game.
Step 2: Wait to load into world.
Step 3: Select the broken build and go into build mode without playing your household.
Step 4: Then folder the build into your gallery, so you can constantly spawn it in if you still can't load into world after these steps.
Step 5: Delete the furniture starting from the top or bottom floor. ONLY ONE FLOOR FIRST.
Step 6: Save the build by using the escape menu and going down to save and manage world.
Step 7: Once saved you should be able to go back to the world if successful. If not successful. Go to Resource Monitor and look for TS4_x64.exe and right click and click on stop process tree.
Step 8: Repeat until you can save and load into world without having to stop the game.
Step 9: You have successfully found the floor and the problem is now fixed. Proceed to your gallery and find your build. Spawn in your build and delete everything but that floor and save it.
Step 10: Once it is saved. Delete each room slowly until you narrowed down which room is causing the issue.
Step 11: Repeat the process starting from a different room and try and narrow it down.
Step 12: You have found the room or multiple rooms with this issue. Spawn your original home and delete those rooms.
Step 13: You have successfully saved your build and are now able to load back.
If you were unable to fix it that means that one of the other floors are causing the issue as well. Save the build after you have deleted those rooms. Save those changes to the gallery and repeat the process. Once that is done. Fix the build slowly. Any changes should be memorized or recorded, so you can go back to them and removed them. I wish I could do this, but by build is just far too massive for it to be possible.
@4llen11 At this point it's unclear if it's the amount of items or a certain item or just a certain type.
Two follow up questions for you: Have you ever used TOOL to place any items on your lot ? Do you have any Debug items ?
@Makenziejay Currently the buildings will load if you place them without furniture. Not really a solution but that's what the community has found out so far.
Same questions above to you.
Also, could you DM me your tray files of the build ?
@ry3_an5150 I've also merged your thread in here as @Bluebellflora tested your build and found it to be the same issue.
@4llen11 I know you said you've been rebuilding your lot or you have maybe figured it out yourself already but I think I found the culprit on your lot and wanted to share
Behind the pool on the lowest level, near the lot entrance, there's a a lot of water emitters put there on top of each other (Moo?) and they seem to cause the issue.
I had to delete them all and then your lot loaded again.
Is that part of what you downloaded or did you build this ?
that part was downloaded, but dang
i honestly never noticed those little things, thx for the heads up
i will delete those and see if it fixes the issue
