Manage Worlds Endless Loading Screen

@Horatio13  Does this happen only in your main saves, or in a new save as well?  What happens if you choose Load Game rather than Resume?  This should send you to the Manage Worlds screen; I'd like to know whether it works in this intance or not, and if it does, whether the same problem happens if you play a different household.

Please test with no mods or custom content at all, at least for now.  You don't need to save your progress, but it's critical to eliminate extra variables here.

Thank you for replying! After some testing, I have some results kind of.

Interestingly, it's behaving a little bit differently now after I uninstalled and reinstalled it the other day. I had tested it out on a new save and all my other saves prior to this and the issue would still happen, but I hadn't tested all of the saves or new saves after reinstalling.

Now, selecting Load Game rather than Resume works on all saves except for one, which is the main building save I tend to play on, where I've been working on building on every Newcrest lot among others. Going into Manage Worlds from live mode also works on all saves except for the above mentioned main save, however this didn't used to work before I reinstalled the game.

Maybe it's something to do with the memory or storage space of that one building save of mine?

@Horatio13  Try loading a backup version of this save:

@puzzlezaddict 

Sadly, trying to load any of the backup files isn't working either.

@Horatio13  I'm not sure there's anything to be done here, unfortunately.  But if you want to upload this save, I (and perhaps others) can try to load it too.  Use a third-party filesharint site (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), zip the save and its backups together before uploading, and either post the link here or send it to me via PM.  Let me know if you specifically don't want anyone else to try it; otherwise, I'll ask around to see whether anyone else has time to test it as well.

Oh my goodness, if you could try my save out or send it to other people to try to test, that would be amazing!

Thanks so much for being so willing to help me with this, by the way. There's a lot of really stressful things in my life right now and the sims is my de-stressor, so this is adding a lot of ahhhh to my already very ahhhhhhhhh life, but seeing a complete stranger be so willing to help other people out with their game is so nice, even if my save is broken forever, so thank you.

@Horatio13 With @puzzlezaddict's okay I tried on my computer...)...

I removed my saves file and used yours, went to 'Resume', and it entered the lot of your Sims fine. However, after this it got dicey...

I chose to exit to 'Manage Worlds' and it did leave okay... it went to the World Menu View | Manage Worlds view:

Then if I try to enter Newcrest, it only loads a white screen:

Then my game and computer crashed while I was trying to update this reply.

So... I tried again, and this time at the Main Menu I entered via 'Load Game'. This seemed to continue in load/spinning plumbob screen and not actually load the save. Had to 'force quit' to leave. When I tried again a second time (entering via 'Resume') the game did not crash and I did not need to force quit, but otherwise I had the same results.

While in the lot in live mode I went to build mode and tried to save the home to my Library. It did show it as having Custom Content (blue wrench on screenshot below), though my game is vanilla, and I had gotten a message that two items were removed each time I loaded the lot, so I would have thought it stripped out any CC.:

However, after the saving to Library completed the only thing I saw in the library was this family, not the lot:

So, I can confirm in my game that these behaviors are showing. I am on Mac and have no Mods or CC.
