Endless Loading on Hospital Lot only

I'm facing an issue where there is an endless loading screen on the hospital lot only, I cannot join my sim when she gives birth; it gets stuck on the loading screen, I can hear the music playing when a lot has loaded but It's stuck on the loading screen. I assumed it was because of a Mod, I removed them; it's the same issue. I even used a doctor in the same save file but I couldn't join them to work, was stuck on the loading screen, can hear the lot has loaded music but it's stuck on the loading screen.

This only happens in the hospital lot, I have made the sims go to other lots and they load in fine. I am not sure if this happened with the current patch, or if it was already there before, but I was able to visit the hospital when a sim gave birth before the current patch update. 

Incase this helps, the lot used as the hospital lot; was added from the gallery however I have been using this lot since I started the save file at the beginning of the year, and I have no way of checking on the lot as it can only be accessed through either a sim giving birth or a doctor going to work, but Both options end with the endless loading screen. 

Just wanted to know if there is a work around of this being fixed? that I may have not realized. 

I also repaired my game twice but it still didn't fix. 

Thank you,

  • @pastelmarbles I merged your post with the main thread on lots not being able to load. The hospital is a bit tricky and the only way I can think of ATM to fix this is to disable the GTW pack, enter the game, save under a new name, ext and then enable again.

    This will make you loose all GTW content temporarily and you will need to redo everything so not sure if that's an option for you.
  • I was able to fix it! It took me awhile but I figured it out incase it happens to anyone else also with any lot. 

    It's because I switched to Directx11,

    the lot had a CC wallpaper; which was affected by it, Usually you get the texture is missing look with a question box and a lot of colours; I had no clue that it could actually cause an issue where it would prevent a lot from loading at all. I switched back to Directx9 and the hospital lot loaded in!!

    I decided to take a break and do the 50/50 mod checking with this, when I figured it out.

    Just in case I switched the hospital lot back to a GTW/BASE GAME compatible one as well. 

    Thank you for your help!

    @pastelmarbles Glad to hear. Good you found a solution.

    Since you suspect the cc, I'm moving this to mods/cc issues

    Hi! 

    I am not sure which one it was, as it was in my build/buy cc sub folder and I just moved out all the wallpapers; after seeing a thread that said some wallpapers were affected by switching over to Directx11 and the issue was similar to mine; because I realized while doing the 50/50 method it was my something in my build/buy cc that was causing the issue. 

    I don't have any by Pralinesims in my folder, just re-checked it now.

    @pastelmarbles Thanks! The list of DirectX 11 Build/Buy culprits is growing (yet another few added just now in the pinned topic), but at least a few days later we now know what the issue looks like.
