Endless Loading
Hi, I just want to add myself to this thread as well — I’m experiencing the exact same issue.
My biggest concern is that I’ve been playing on the same save file since 2014, with over 10,000 hours in-game and more than 800 families. I’m genuinely terrified of losing this save file because of this problem.
I haven’t even played with the new DLC yet — or rather, I can’t! All the lots in Everdew are untouched in my game, and so are the NPCs who live there.
I do use mods, but the only script mods I have installed are MCCC and UI Cheats. Of course, I’ve already tested the game without my mods folder, deleted my localthumbcache and also repaired the game through the EA App.
New save files seem to work fine — Everdew loads without issues in those.
I regularly back up my save files every few months, and I even keep copies across multiple hard drives just in case. Yes, I’m a little overprotective of my saves, as you can probably imagine!
Unfortunately, all of my other older save files are affected by this issue as well. So I really, really hope this can be fixed — for the sake of my game... and my sanity!
