If You're Experiencing a Broken Save

I'm starting to think it might have something to do with a build/buy item from Tiny Living. It seems like most of the crashing comes from more recent saves, and they include build-only saves. That makes me think it's a build related issue. Or maybe even a combatibility issue with the patch before this one. But something specific that only some people have used while others haven't.

I'd be curious to see if anyone wanted to disable the Tiny Living pack in Origin and see if loading the game works. (Process of elimination.)

I've now played 3 previous different Saves all day with no crashes at all and have had no problems with any of them so the problems must either be with machines, updating, mods, cc or maybe virus checkers.

Just my experiences though, playing all packs and no additions.

Unfortunately, all three of those are ruled out by the fact that the same problem is happening across PC, Mac, and console players. It's unclear why some are experiencing it and others are not.

SimGuruNick actually just posted on his twitter that yes, a fix is in the works and that once that fix is released the saves should work as they did before. Whatever the problem is, the actual save file isn't it.

Must be some common denominator that they all use and I don't. It will be interesting to find out what it is! :)

My existing save crashed, and I don't own Tiny Living.

I backed up my saves, tray, and mods just to be safe, in case my saves became corrupt. I also pulled out the one mod I had. It needed to be updated anyway. I did leave the cc in the folder. Not sure if taking out the mod prior to updating helped. But so far, I haven’t had any crashes in my main save. I haven’t tested the other ones though. I did download the updated version of UI cheats after I tested my game for about 10 minutes. Game seems to be running smoothly for now. I hope they put out a hotfix asap. I know with every patch we end up with bugs. But this is unacceptable. I’m sorry to everyone that can’t open their game. ?

I'm wondering if it's something with sculpting the terrain, because the only save where I've done that extensively is my No Mods save (I generally build more than play in it.)

Then again, it's not like I've tried all of my saves.

I was really looking forward to Eco Lifestyle, but it doesn't look like I'll be getting it any time soon. No point spending money when I can't even play my game! Hope this fix comes soon.
