Hi all,
So I have installed the fairies (bought and paid for). During installation it said that I didn't own the digital content and did I want to continue to download or pause (why would it try to download something I didn't own?) So not knowing what it was talking about, I paused and didn't give it another thought.
I went back to my game.
In the twelve hours since, it will not save (error code 13 - any ideas, folks?)
I am currently running a repair for the second time since I installed the new extension pack.
I've tried taking some old items out of my library.
The mysterious paused download has disappeared.
I have no CC or mods, I use the occasional cheat code and they have never caused a problem before.
Any ideas, folks?
Hello! I Downloaded some lot in the gallaery and when I was trying to save it, I got error code 13. What does error code 13 means. Does this mean that my savefile will eventually be corrupted. I'm overthinking this, please help
I updated the game so there should not be any issues
CRUZADO_101 Please post a screenshot of the error. I don't recognize it and would like to know what it looks like, at least.
I don't know whether this will corrupt your save, or already has, but I would be extremely wary of using any Gallery content that threw any error at all. The For Rent patch broke a lot of Gallery uploads that were previously fine and safe to use, and installing them can definitely corrupt a save. It appears that some subsequent patch(es) broke more content, although it's less clear what the trigger was, but what is obvious is that these uploads can corrupt saves too.
I was not able to take a screenshot on it, as it goes away when I load to a different lot and save it but I'll take it next when it happens again.
Hello! I started a new save and got error code 13 again while building. I'm honestly so scared for my savefile right now. Can you please help me, it does work if I use save as but I am scared if it will continue to corrupt. I put the screenshots below! This started after the update
While putting pieces together, this syarted whenever I set up a small businesss and use mods for activities. I will try to make another small business without using mods
Could you post a pic of the error message ?
What platform are you playing on ?
See this for the ownership issue: Fairy Garden EA app Error - "Game Ownership Disabled or Deleted" | EA Forums - 12331060
Well this is new...I've just completed the repair and it has wiped away everything I have done sine March 13th 2025... hundreds of hours of gameplay just vanished.
At least Warhammer figures don't disappear into thin air..
Are you using oneDrive ? Sometimes the game switches between the drives and you might be playing another state then that.
Here's instructions on how to find which folder is using: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
I also bought the fairies expansion and I also get error code 13 when I try to save (which had never happened before the expansion). Nothing I have tried has worked to fix the issue.
What did you try ? Did you remove your mods ?
