Yea so everytime I log into my game for the last three days, i select a household, it loads for a bit, and I'm taken back to the select a world screen. I tried selecting a household that I hadn't played in yet and it just loaded forever and wouldn't let me quit so I had to force quit my computer. I think the new update affected this. I tried repairing the game twice and no luck :(
is there any fix to this?
Hazel_Miller_16 This is almost always caused by outdated mods. If it only started after the February 3 patch, please see the pinned Broken and Updated Mods and CC list. If you were actually coming back to the game after a long time away, you could also be affected by mods broken in August; see [Patch 1.117 on] When Loading ANY Household, Returns to World Select Screen | EA Forums - 12488560
And see the part in How to Use Mods and CC about managing your mods when the game has an update.
This may or might not be the cause of your issue... but I've discovered that running on low disk space while playing or updating while disk space is low can cause error code 801. Initial loading of the game seems to go well and then switching to another household or going to world mode or CAS and then trying to load back into a household becomes unsuccessful with the infinite loading screen or crash to worlds view with an error showing. Some lots are also missing and invisible. I first noticed this after the release of For Rent.
So, make sure it's not a low disc space issue and if not, check if it's a mod issue by moving your mods or Sims 4 folder to your desktop or somewhere and testing without mods. If the problem is resolved when testing without mods, try the 50/50 mods test method. Continue to test until the problem reoccurs and and then narrow down those by taking a small amount of mods out testing repeatedly until the problem goes away. Once the problem goes away, you can narrow down the specific group taken out that made the problem go away. This is how you can at least find out if it's disk space, mod related, or a game error. If it's a game error, most likely it can be fixed by a game repair or fresh install.
I hope this helps, but if not, I wish you the best on getting your game fixed.
