Re: [Patch 1.117 on] When Loading ANY Household, Returns to World Select Screen

Hello, so i have had this issue for several months now and can't seem to find a fix. I use cc and mods, UI, script etc, and i keep them up to date with any patches, however after the update in august i think the whole game broke even with constantly updating mods. I can't load into households as it takes me back to world selection, any build i make - from the map view it looks like the build i made but the lot type changes back to original, as well as in build mode that lot goes back to original too. I have taken all mods out and tested the game without them and the issues are still there. I've also tried it on a new save and once again the problems are there. Additionally, whenever i want to change the traits of a lot, they are all highlighted green, and instead of the empty trait boxes, it's got the red/green faces. Someone suggested i try save the game by save, then exit instead of save and exit and i tried that, but it made no difference. If this is a corrupt save file, then why would the issues still appear in a new game i tested it on? I really just want to play my game again, but after months of having these problems i am losing hope, and i fear i will never get to finish my storylines and make new ones, and the idea of never playing this game again really breaks my heart. If anyone else has or had this issue please comment down any solutions or ideas! Thank you!

    I have the same issue for atleast 5 months now. I've used mods/cc my entire life and now I can't play w mods in the game. If I turn off the mods I can play, but as soon as I turn them back on the game breaks. I try to load in to a world I select the family I want to play and it keeps taking me back to world selection menu. If anyone knows what causes this can you please let me know?

    The August 2025 patch (1.117) broke many, many script mods, with this being the symptom, and these are still the ones most likely to be your problem. Use the Previously Broken mods and CC for many (not all!) mods that have no updates. Use “Updated” in the Broken/Updated Mods list for patch 1.117 as a second starting point, but note many were updated for patch 1.118 and/or are not yet cleared in the current list (for links, see Mod & CC Issues: START HERE).

    I’m moving you into the pinned thread for this issue.
