Endless Loading Screen

Im getting fed up since the update before last (2 weeks or so) My game hasnt been playable for a few weeks now. My  orignal save file lets me get to the world i last played in but when i try to go into live mode, it does the start up live mode /welcome music as if the game will open into live mode normally but it keeps doing the endless loading screen and i cant get into buildmode at all. BUT when i made a new save, and go into build mode it lets me. but then when i try livemode, the same thing happens with the endless loading screen. ive taken my mods out doing the 50/50 . made a new mod folder and slowly added everything in. no difference.  All my mods seem updated; better exceptions doesnt even come up, but ive got a lastcrash report. my graphics card and drivers are all up to date as well now.. i assume its a mod issue or a corrupted save?? but i cant figure out which. its driving me nuts. unless it isnt a mod issue? please someone help??

  • Tyche_Lotus​  Please remove your entire Mods folder, and your ConfigOverride folder within in the same Sims 4 folder, and try starting yet another new save.  If it works, the issue might be in either folder, or each one might have a problem file.

    If you get endless loading again, move out the entire Sims 4 folder and try again.

    If that doesn't work either, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    did it work with just a copy of your save but no mods ? If that works, you'll need to go through your mods.

    So weird.. So i somehow fixed my game , it didnt seem to be a mod but more like something in my buildbuy. (Still have no clue.) i did the 50/50 method.  the next weekend it started to happen again (yesterday) ive deleted everything ive downloaded since then and nothing changed. and one drive is not on either.

    It could be something about the building.

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    - Delete the ones you have
    - Trigger the error again
    - Check if new ones are created
    - If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.


    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

    That's the thing: I'm not getting any at all. i did Lumpinou's mod checker too and it says none of my mods are broken, outdated, or conflicting, and now my game wont even launch anymore. i have to take my whole mods file out for it to open... this is getting ridiculous lmao

    Hello, did you manage to solve this problem? I have almost the same situation: I moved each small stack of custom mods from the mods folder to another folder, and then returned each stack to check which mod was not working (the so-called 50/50 method), and when loading the save, I found that the mods were working individually. The game begins. But every time I put all the mods in one folder, the game stopped loading my save again. This is absurd because I've been doing the same thing about 5 times for 8 hours, but I still haven't figured out which mod or something else is causing this error. Similar cases are not described anywhere else on the Internet (
