I can't load into my game, I keep getting taken back to the Select World screen

My Sims 4 game has just been updated and I just tried to go into my game by clicking Resume on the loading screen but instead of taking me back to my gameplay, it took me to the Select World screen, I have repaired the game to see if this will fix it but it hasn't and it's still happening, I don't understand the point of having an update if I can't even go back into my game to see all the new features.

Please help, not happy.

    Yes I am using CC, there isn’t an error message at all 

  • HI @Dysipl 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
