This main menu screen has appeared in recent days for myself and one of my simming friends. I thought it had to do with a blank save that I’d recently put in my saves but I saw something on Facebook that indicated it might be a major glitch that can ruin saves. What has caused this and is a glitch? Should we keep playing or protect our saves?
You picture shows that you have no save game so this is the default family.
Since you only have the New game, the game is currently not recognizing your save games. Are you using oneDrive ? You can find instructions on how to find out which folder your game is using here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
Depending on whether you have save games or not, it can be a problem cause if you do have a load but this family, it means you have no active family which can have a few causes
This is my friends screen, so I’m assuming she took her other saves out. We both recently uploaded Srlsy’s blank save file, which has no active household. I have other saves in my menu but the new save file came up as the default one. I don’t use oneDrive at all.
If your most recent save has no active household, then it makes sense that the default family is displayed.
The default main screen is only a sign of a problem if there should have been a different family there.
