The Sims 4 stuck on loading screen on specific lot/household.

I can’t seem to figure out the problem with my save game. Idk if it’s corrupted but I can get into the game but whenever I try to enter in this specific lot or household the loading screen is stuck. I’ve removed mods to see if that was the issue and it wasn’t. Even with mods all other lots and households are fine/playable. Unfortunately I can’t get into that Save game because it’s recognizing the Resume game is that lot/household.

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

    Best is to delete the ones you have, then trigger the error and check if new ones are created.

    If that is the case, please upload them to a new post in this thread.

    Please either create a .rar file to upload or copy/paste the content into your post.

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

    I read that link you sent and it says to delete the scratch folder in my saves folder? I do see that in my saves folder what happens if it take the “scratch folder” out?

    @JoshuaTree21 The scratch folder is a temp folder for the save that should only be present when the game runs. If the game crashes or you shoot it down, the files aren't being deleted as they should.

    This is just to clean up though, shouldn't be related to the main issue.

    First step is to find out if it's isolated to the household and if it's the house or the Sims.

    It’s definitely it the household cuz I’m playing on that same household on a different lot. I found that some other creator uploaded the same lot I was having issues with but same thing the load screen gets stuck. It’s definitely something wrong with the lot.

    JoshuaTree21did your issue get fixed?  I'm having the same issue with one Lot, that doesn't have a family on it and is listed as a residential lot. I was building on it the other night and now every time i try to build on it the game freezes on the loading screen.
