Infinite loading screen for Live mode on some lots

I've been having this problem since the update on Feb 27, 2024. I can get into lots using build mode, but not in live mode. I have removed all mods, and it is still continuing. I tried the clean install, and it works fine, but when I moved my save files over, I was getting the same issue still. I did hear the music for loading into the lot in Live mode, but the loading screen and music continued. I also ran dxdiag, and have attatched that. Some lots had the problem right away, others loaded fine the first time, but would not load in again after that.

    @rabellaka I just tested this one household so it's possible that others are affected

    For big households, if you need to narrow down which Sim it is, just use a 50/50 test method on the household

    Like if you have 8 Sims: Split them in two households with 4 Sims and then place both on a lot and try to enter. If one works, split the other again and again test both halfs, etc.

    If you have the whole family saved to the library, it might be easier to just replace the whole family though.

    This worked for her household, however I was still getting the infinite loading screen for other households. So I tried something that ended up working! Before I deleted Belle Midnight, I had put a copy of her in my library. I was able to put the copy back into her household, and it still loaded. I had to fix a few relationships, as her children were listed as a niece and nephew, but otherwise it was fine. So I tried the same thing with the other problem households. I put a cool in my library, then deleted the bugged one and replaced it with a copy. I still have to fix some of their family relationships with sims who have previously moved out, but that’s a minor detail.

    I am so happy to be able to play this particular save file again! I have put a lot of time into it.
