Loading game error

I’ve been playing my game fine all day and then went on it an hour ago and can’t load into my saved game . Gutted. Don’t get why it’s suddenly happened. It comes up saying something about a game error… Fix one bug and get another 🤦‍♀️ I've been playing sims for 19 years and I’m seriously considering stopping as I can barely play anyways with all the constant updates and bugs. Whole 19 years and I’ve never had to come on the sims forum and I’ve been on twice in the last couple weeks due to bugs that seriously affect my game 🙃. If anyone could help that’d be amazing . Don’t want to lose my legacy save 💔 will upload a pic of the issue later.

    HI pinkalandes​ 

    you have removed an cc item that gave an infant a milestone. 

    To fix this, please add this mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mod-milestone-81237568 (File 2: CC/Mod Object Fix) to your game, make sure script mods are enabled and then run the game.

    You should no longer get an endless loading screen

    Save the game under a new name. After that you can remove the mod again.

    As an alternative you can just put the cc object back into your game. It's most probably a custom playmat.

  • I reached out to EA this evening about the bug that’s completely broken my game since I brought the adventure awaits pack. Just continuous loading screens, game is completely broken. I contacted EA to ask for a refund for the expansion pack “Adventure awaits” as it’s not working and has broken my game. They responded by saying that the game team will be looking into it and that they couldn’t give me my refund due to limitations . They also couldn’t tell me how long it would take them to fix the problem so again I asked about my refund to which they responded that my transaction isn’t eligible for a refund and sent me a link to their website that says if any EA game that is released and brought within 72 hours and it doesn’t work due to technical issues due to EA then we can request a refund” . So I sent the quote of what it says on their website and was still denied a refund. I expressed how disappointed and upset I was as someone who has been playing sims for 19 years, spent thousands and has never asked for a refund. Sold for what? 55 billion and you can’t refund the people who’s games are completely broken £35 back. Never been so let down by a company before.

    What am I copying and pasting ? The last exception file? Can you let me know if I’ve done it correctly above please and what happens next? 

  • Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    - Delete the ones you have
    - Trigger the error again
    - Check if new ones are created
    - If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.


    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

    I’ve tried going back on this morning and I’m not even getting the game service error message anymore . Just continuous loading screen.. I’ve removing my mods folder, repairing the same and I tried to delete all the last exception files and when I tried to load again it just went onto loading screen. When I checked my files I had a new “last exception” file appear in my sims 4 folder.
