[XB] Game not fully saving, Saves show as autosave

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Xbox Series S
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.97.2.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Lovestruck, for rent, horse ranch, growing together, high school years, cottage living, snowy escape, eco life style, discover university, island living, get famous, seasons, cats and dogs, city living, get together, get to work, werewolves, my wedding stories, dream home decorator, realm of magic, strangerville, jungle adventure, parenthood, vampires, dine out, spa day, outdoor retreat, crystal creations, home chef hustle, paranormal, nifty knitting, tiny living, moschino, laundry day, toddler, fitness, bowling night, vintage glamour, backyard, kids room, romantic garden, movie hangout, cool kitchen, perfect patio, luxury party.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don’t know what y’all can do to fix the game, I just hope that you do fix it, so I can play the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game is showing that it is saving, however, it is not saving. My game files are all showing “Autosave” instead of the name I gave them. I will play the game, save frequently as always, then when I am done playing I will exited the game, then come back to play, and all of my progress has been lost.. it didn’t save absolutely nothing that I did the previous gameplay.. I was receiving the error save 0 message, but now I am just simply losing all my progress and I can’t play the game.. basically I can’t save my game, I can’t make progress.
What do you expect to see? I would like to be able to save my game, and it actually saves it..
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I just want to be able to save my game again.. I can’t play the game at all because if I play and I am making progress I already know that once the game is turned off, I will have lost everything I just did, so it’s kinda pointless playing the game..

    I’ve only got two photos in the save. But will delete them and see if that helps?

    @Idaliarats It's just a thought but while trying to figure out what the triggers are it may be useful to see if that makes a difference to you.
    I lost 3 save games once because of photos, but that was quite some time ago. Only seems to happen on console for some reason.

    @simsplayer818 I deleted the photos travelled about and then saved and exited but when I went back it hadn’t saved again.

    @simsplayer818 That’s ok, hopefully a fix will be found at some point so I can play again 😭 it’s definitely something to do with travel, I can save progress until it auto saves then it just stops saving, even if I manually save.

    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.assets.live-sp43.45
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Almost all of them
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By loading into the game, playing, and trying to save. And then loading back in to the game to it not saving any gameplay
    What happens when the bug occurs? I load into the game and play as usual, and once I saved it changed my saved game name to “auto save” but also never saved what I just played. I tried to play and save it under another saved game name and it also changed that to “auto save” as well. I can’t even play because it won’t save anymore. No mods, on Xbox.
    What do you expect to see? Being able to save the game and it not changing my saved game name and actually saving the game.

    I noticed it while making an apartment. I have 5 units, tried playing, and once I saved and loaded back into the game it didn’t save any of the game play.

    Same thing happened to me twice i tried everything to save my game but it was useless new saves just changed to autosave, eventually i had to give up and restart. I am on my 3rd attempt now at doing 26 generations. I got to 13 so i was gutted to lose my game but it became unplayable not once but twice, i have lost confidence in the game now. Im expecting it to happen again.

    There is another point I deleted everything from library but it doesn’t save those changes either, when i delete all saved data on console and sinc back with cloud it brings back everything i deleted from cloud. Nothing i do has worked
