If You're Experiencing a Broken Save

I've had issues with patches crashing saves that had been heavily modded in the past, but not to the extent it seems people are experiencing this go around. What worked for me was removing all my mods before downloading the patch, in addition to all the last exceptions. I then utilized Origin's "repair" game function, then downloaded the patch. I don't know if this would work for anybody else, but doing it this way worked well for me and I haven't had any issues accessing my saves.
