Re: [FIXED] [PC/MAC] Save Error 0 (Patch 1.86.166)

My experience was similar.  My game wouldn't save, I went back and found a save from April that worked for ... really only a few days, it went bad.

Right now I'm playing with a new save, but I have all my mods in, my tray is full, and it's been a couple of weeks.

At least I am playing the new save, I even moved a couple of households from the original save to the new one, and so far, so good.  

I think this first happened while my sims were on a date in Ciudad Enomorada, and then happened while playing my only household in Del Sol Valley.  

The Penquin posted that you shouldn't save in Ciudad Enomorada, but I can't remember if they also said Del Sol Valley.  I am going to go back and re-read that post.

Luckily we can go into the old (bad) saves and save each household and lot into My Gallery.  So, at some point, when this is actually fixed, I can reestablish my original save.  It took me 3 days the last time I had to do this, but, it's the save I've played since the beginning and I will be able to restore it, though it's a ton of work.

    If this can be of any help, I think to me it happened the first time when going on a date in Ciudad Enamorada. My sim didn’t even receive the reward from the date but I figured that may be because she is currently living in the University Campus.

    When are we going to see fixes or get updates on these game breaking bugs? This is getting beyond ridiculous. I mean not being able to save your game reliably is a pretty major bug. I’ve lost TWO saves since this update came and the subsequent patches came out. This bug and the one with the lots defaulting. Now Cupid corner sims have weird voices. My sims are also constantly dropping commands, which makes playing larger households damn near impossible. These bugs are sucking the life out of playing the game and I rarely turn it on anymore. I wish EA would fix it, it’s such an incredible insult to feel like we are being totally ignored for a product we all spent so much money on. 

  • I was playing in Ciudad Enamorada and had stories on. I went to disable the stories and moved my household to San Mayshuno. I am still getting the error ☹️ Although I didn`t exit the game. I will do this and see if it will make any change. So far the best option for me, without making tons of new saves is, to exit to manage worlds and save.

    Well, I think I am done with The Sims 4 until a fix is available for this.  Last night my 4th save stopped saving.  So many hours of work and just beginning to develop the story lines and the ambiance of the save.

    I have over 15,,000 hours logged on the Sims 4, and I've only ever had 1 save file.  I just can't start again because this seems to happen to me over and over again.  It's really a bummer because it's the only game I play, and I pretty much have been playing daily.  

    Call me Sad in Seattle,

  • @hollyw26 yeah, I get you ☹️ It is so frustrating. Did EA even acknowledged this problem? Did they say anything? What is the reason for this error? I`ve been gone for a week away from playing and never had any problems before at all. Now this started happening ☹️

    They are asking folks to send in their mod free save files so that they can investigate.  I haven't heard of any reason from EA as to what is causing this,. I tried to play mod free but it was gross, LOL.  I'm going to wait and hopefully am update will fix this.  I would love to hear updated status from EA.  I wonder if the save files peopkle have sent have given them anything to look into.  In the mean time, I'm cleaning my folders and trying to become proficient with RESHADE.  I never get the results shown on the screen shots.

    This is getting beyond annoying. I just got this issue today, and it’s infuriating. Why is EA constantly releasing packs and you can’t even save the game. Like be for real and make it make sense.
