Game stuck on loading screen

@Abigailnicole76 Sometimes the reason you can't load a household is about something you've done with mods/CC, not just them being there.

• If you removed cooking mods, put those back or try to delete plates/food in Build/Buy mode.
• If you have Growing Together and use CC, add Lumpinou's Milestones Fixes mod.
• If you have a freelance career or gigs mod that doesn't have an available update, remove those mods and then do a Save As within game, then exit and reload the save.

It's worth also checking if switching to DX9 fixes it. If so, you might have DX11-incompatible CC on that lot. You can run a batch fix in Sims 4 Studio for that.

Another thing to try is moving the household to another lot, to separate out the issue.

@tnthomas22 Check Broken/Updated Mods & CC again, and also don't use CAS if you've modded to have over 8 SIms in a household. If testing vanilla still leaves you unable to save, head to Game Issues.

So I don’t have any cooking mods, I have RPO, healthcare redux/divergent, WW, nisa K, mccc/woohoo and child birth mod. I don’t have the milestone fix but I’ve never had it so I don’t see why my game would be bugged without it now.

im not able to move them to a different lot and my game won’t even load into the family.

@Abigailnicole76 The Milestone fix covers situations for people with Growing Together when CC attached to a Milestone is removed (blocking house loading).

You can't move them using the Household Manager or map?

Try this, please:

Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.

Run a Game Repair

Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.

Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
Launch Sims 4 and try again.

I noticed the milestone fix hasn’t been updated since December of 2023, is it still okay to use? And I’m not able to get to the map or the household manager because it won’t load, I can get to the Home Screen with the “new” or “load” options but after that when I hit resume my old household it is stuck on the endless loading screen. I will try what you suggested once I get home tonight! If that doesn’t work then what will I need to try next? 

@Abigailnicole76 It hasn't needed an update and is cleared for this patch. But the issue it fixes doesn't affect those other loading problems. Mods do. When you're home, try a clean folder test and Game Repair:

1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
2. Run a Game Repair
3. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
4. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

If that works, start putting old content back:

1. Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
2. Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select a save to test.

This mod?? I did see a comment from 5 months ago that says it’s usable so I will definitely try both of them when I get off work!

So I took the folder out, repaired and without mods in my game my household loaded, but I put my mods/cc back in and it wouldn’t load.

downloaded the milestone fix and it worked to get to my map, but it still won’t load into the actual family. It’s still stuck on the loading screen, I’m assuming it’s a mod issue at this point?
