I should add that I did the reinstall twice but accidentally left that detail out & can't edit it in since I'm a new member, but I did that because on the bug listing site there's someone who's been experiencing disappearing saves in the library & an EA tech support person suggested doing that. It worked for that person, but for me & another person that said they tried it didn't work for us. I have X'd out saves that can't be deleted, saves that are glitched out & reappear even after I delete them, & non-corrupted saves that disappear enitrely once I exit the game then come back. It seems like the library just needs a mandatory fix period.

This exact same thing has happened to me, as well. Unfortunately, I can't give you a solution as I've tried deleting & reinstalling the application data for the game on my PS4 & neither attempts worked. Is this the first time you've had problems with your library?

This is not the first time. Before the latest patch, I couldn't delete anything from the library. Had to delete all saves and content to start again from scratch. After the patch, I didn't find any issues when deleting households. Now is just this one household that seems to be corrupted and I don't know how to get rid of.

I wonder if this has to do with big households, because it's only happened first with an 8-member family, and now this last one had 6. I have created several families but none of them had more than 5 members, except this 2 households that got corrupted.

For me it began when my game would crash after long sessions of saving lots & households of all sizes (but mostly with 2 or 3 people), as if the cache had exceeded its limit & overwhelmed the game without deleting itself as needed. I would choose 'build' on a lot to view it, or open my library/manage households & that would seem to trigger the crash. One day I'd saved all the existing properties in WC, OS, & NC & some households before the game crashed & corrupted all of them.

What's also strange is that at one point I deleted most of my non-corrupted library saves to see if that would help me to get rid of the corrupted ones. It didn't, so I began resaving what I'd deleted which worked halfway through & then the saves started disappearing upon reloading the game. Forcing my PS4 to delete its cache by turning it off & unplugging it for a few minutes hasn't helped me, either.

I have also been experiencing crashes after doing a lot of building, placing and saving lots; and then I hit the library button. That seems to trigger the crash. Probably that's what is causing the household files to be corrupted. I just find it odd that it's only affected the bigger households. Maybe a coincidence?

I wonder if I should try deleting my content, and not touch the save. I don't want to lose the progress I've made. The only reason I deleted the saves I had before was because I was no longer being awarded any achievements. Started all over and still no achievements, but that is a totally different issue.
