@Itz_Bree95 - If You Want To Try This With Another Saved Game. I Did This... BEFORE ANYTHING SAVE FAMILIES & HOUSES TO THE GALLERY/LIBRARY. So you can easily access them.. they wont delete there unless You personally delete it.

1: move the family out from the game with the Exclamation marks & save then exit to main menu

2: Go To The Newly Saved Game With The Fixed Exclamation Marks & Go To World Select Or Manage Households if your already in the world you want to be in.

3: Place family you moved out into any home for a minute and then move them back into their old home. By that time it shouldnt say anyone lives there (in the old home) and will say something about it being unfurnished or something like that.

4: Click that or if you can move back into your old home furnished then great if not which it didnt for me. I bulldozed the lot and replaced it with the furnished home I once before ( from your saved library)

5. SAVE INTO A NEW GAME SLOT

💜I still had Sim stats and all of alot from doing all of this. I also did it this way because when I did it the 1st time my other family wasnt saved in the process from the SLOT_000003 file unless you can figure out a way to do that. Other than that I think you will have to follow this process to fix the Exclamation marks plus when I went back to check a sims family that saved game had the Exclamation marks VS the one that didnt. So I just branched off that and made New Saved Games Slots that way.


💜Ik its alot and I hope it all made sense !! Be sure to Name the NEW SAVED GAME So you wont forget!

      No You didn’t do anything wrong at all. I hope it works for you all. I will try and see if what you did could possibly be done on console. Thank you for sharing this.

      @Itz_Bree95 I’m a little confused with the instruction. Does it just say to go back to a previous version of the save which wasn’t corrupted yet, save everything to gallery, and then put everything to a new save?

        Do You Have A Game Slot That Says "SLOT_0000003 " or something like that ? If Not  Go To Your Usual Game Slot (with the Exclamation marks) 

        Go To Your Sim Home ... Save Your Sim Family & Home To Your Gallery, Then Move Them Out Temporarily. You Can Buildoze the Lot or Pick Another World... 

        Make A New Save Slot/Use A Old Saved Slot.... Replace Your Sim Family & Lot... Save The Game

        * I Hope This Explains It Better... Sorry About That
