Game stuck loading my household

Hi Guys, 

So basically what the title says, my game is completely stuck trying to load ANY household from my saves. I have scrolled through countless advice posts from other people and tried what feels like everything now. I have removed my mod folder and done the 50/50 method, and I have had no luck whatsoever. My script mods seem to be working fine and the game will load in when it's just those in the folder but when I put any CC in it seems to be in an infinite loading loop. 

I have also tried repairing my game and making an entire new houseold. Any time I make a new household it works fine and I am able to create my sims and build and play, but the second I save the game and leave it won't load again. And this has happened to the past 10 households I've made. 

I deleted all of my mods and redownloaded a few (besides from my script mods as I knew they worked) but even with them being redownloaded so I know that they are in date it still won't work. 

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it? I am completely at my wits end now and just want to play my game without having to upload it to the gallery every time :(

  • Can you clarify some things for me?

    • It's *every* previously played household, but you can play a new one the first time?
    • Can you load a premade household you never loaded before?
    • Does it happen if you rename your Mods folder?
    • Does it happen if you download a single recent item of newly created CC from a reliable creator like SurelySims (for CAS) or peacemaker (for build mode), and have ONLY THAT in your folder?

    Hi,

    Yes it’s every household that I have previously played and have a save with but creating a new household in CAS from the main screen works fine. 

    I’d believe that a premade house would be fine as once again it’d just be downloaded in CAS and then started or do you mean one of the already housed families in the world? If the latter then I don’t think they’d work as that requires going into the game with a save already created and that won’t open. Not even to get to the manage worlds section. 

    I wasn’t aware that I could rename my mods folder so I haven’t tried that, will the game still recognise it?

    I also downloaded some new CC once this problem started and tried to play with just that new cc and the game still wouldn’t load, script mods seem to be fine though which is puzzling.

    Rooeyboo22​ The reason you rename your mods folder is to test without mods. 

    Delete your new CC. Solve that problem later, when your households are working. 

    Could you please clarify if you can load saves you previous played? Use "load" from the main menu to pick out a save, then try to load a household you've played and one you haven't. Do this after renaming your mods folder.

    I have completely removed the mods from the folder and put them into a separate folder on my desktop screen (not within the sims folder at all) and that didn’t solve the problem. 
    When my mods aren’t in the folder it works fine, and I can load/resume game. Even with just my script mods, it will work. But when the CC is included, no matter how much or little (as I’ve tried with one piece, a subfolder, all and different ones) then the problem occurs. 

    when I “load” an old save or the current save from the load screen, the same problem occurs. Hope this clarifies :)

    Rooeyboo22​ Please try removing all CC, then redownloading just one item and putting it directly in your Mods folder. I recommend using a recent release by peacemaker because I 100% know those are absolutely fine. 

    If that still doesn't work, please let me know if you're on a PC or a Mac.
