Game stuck loading

Every save file i go onto it says loading in progress so i cant save or go into manage worlds anything like that. Ive got cc and mods installed and they are all up to date but it could be something to do with that? ive updated the game and repaired it multiple times but nothings working. Its been like this for days ad its extremely frustrating. I have attached a file of what the screen looks like but i have no idea if itll actually work. I did try unpausing the game for a couple of minutes but nothing worked. I had been playing a save for a good half hour when i realised i couldnt save so its not anything to do with it like actually not finishing loading

  • Hi @missminty3000. Mods and CC that were up to date before yesterday might not be up to date today, because of yesterday's patch. Two things to do to start:

    1. Check if it is a mod/CC problem. You can do this by testing "vanilla": Exit Sims 4 then drag your Mods folder to your desktop. Then delete the file called localthumbcache from Document > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If you think you might accidentally forget to exit without saving after testing, copy your Saves folder to your desktop too, to back it up. Now open Sims 4 and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, you can start the process of figuring out what from your Mods folder was causing it.

    2. Check the Outdated/Updated Mods & CC thread for yesterday's patch to see if any of the mods you use are there: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/Broken-Obsolete-and-Updated-Sims-4-Mods-1-101-Sept-26-2023-Game/td-p/12938280/jump-to/first-unread-message
