A roof piece broke my entire game

Hi I just started playing the Sims 4 and I had created 4 charecters and started my first game. I spent about 2 hours on a house and only used a money cheat to get some more money. I had gotten pretty far into my build and tried adding a roof paice, and it wouldn't let me resize it for some reason, so I thought it was just a little bug and tried saving the game so I could re-launch it, but it also wouldn't let me save the game, it was stuck on the saving screen, so I tried closing the game but it wouldnt let me it was lagging out my computer so much task manager couldn't even open, so I had to restart my computer and when I resumed my game my house was gone. this was my first experience with this game, and I dont understand how a small roof piece broke the game to the point I needed to restart my computer. My question is; Is this game aways this buggy?

    Sounds about right. I usually save after every major change. If I finished my sims in cas, I move them to a lot and save the game. And when I build, I save after every room I finish decorating. I’ve lost a lot of progress over the years, so I save all the time pretty much. Also, if you did a lot progress in game and you save. Just save one more time. Once when I saved, after a few more minutes of me building my game crushed but the save didn’t actually save. Maybe it was just me, maybe it doesn’t happen anymore, but it definitely did once. 

  • Sad, but true.  Are you playing on a unit that complies with the recommendations for the game?

    I’m so sorry. Welcome to The Sims! It is very buggy. Usually it takes more to crash. But save your game more regularly. :( Like after every major change.
