OK, I've tried your save game. It's borked.
I was however able to load your backups. They are not the newest state but they seem to work. Not sure why a new save game did the same for you.
My suggestions is this
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
Before putting anything back, start a new game and see if the same issue occurs yet again. If not, you can start putting files back. The file Slot_00000003.save doesn't work so put back Slot_00000003.save.ver0 and remove the ver0 from the file name so that it's named Slot_00000003.save.
Then start your game and see if it still works. Your CC will be gone at this point so you see many naked and bald Sims. DO NOT SAVE THE GAME, just make sure it works. It's not the newest state but it's better than nothing, right ?
After that, you can put back your Hair, objects, clothing cc. Do not put back any mods.
Again, start your game. If it still works, you can put back the try folders and your screenshots and other stuff. You can also put back your Slot_00000002.save if you want. Haven't tried it but since you didn't start this one for a while, it should be fine. Leave out the Slot_00000001.save (the autosave) and the folders. They are not needed.
Then it's up to you to check your mods. Only put back what is redeemed safe by the creator.
Do keep a backup of those save games.
Also, I see to families on empty lots in your game. Is that on purposes or did the lots go missing ?
Wow, I cannot thank you enough!! I did everything you said and it runs perfectly fine now. Seriously, you're a genius, haha. Everything I wanted saved is still saved, I'm so relieved!
As for the empty lots, that was on purpose. I was just testing out my game because before, when I tried to go into a family, all the sims would be missing like I was in build mode in an empty house, but I could only fast forward and pause/play.
Anyway, thank you so much again!! If I can do anything at all to make it up to you, let me know! C:
Please accept a solution to this thread. That would be great 🙂
Glad it worked for you and thanks for the info about the empty lots.
I'm not sure if I can do that since this wasn't my thread to begin with, but I gave you XP. Hope that helps! I'm a total noob to this website so correct me if I'm wrong, haha.
