    HI  @Zozotanarg13 

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    I'm having this problem too. If I close my game and clear my cache, it fixes the problem temporarily. After playing for a bit, my toddlers and children refuse to eat. They just sit there staring at their food and resetting them doesn't work.

    @Ambergers Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, do a "vanilla" test to see if a mod/CC is your problem: Move (not copy) the Mods folder to the desktop (or rename it), delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

    I just installed fresh on a new computer yesterday and I am seeing this issue too. Nothing custom, just regular content and a fresh install. I am seeing it with toddlers and children.
