I Cry Foul!
Yesterday I was able to go offline and then get into my game. My plan was to wait until the mods I used are all either cleared (compatible already) or are updated. Today, I decided I would just go int...

I have just spent the entire day trying to get things to work. Essentially, I wasted a day. The past week and a half has been a total roller-coaster ride for me, emotionally. My daughter went into premature labor, about two weeks after her five year old daughter fell about seven feet out of a tree she was climbing to smack a flagstone on the back of her little head. Fractured her skull and has a concussion. Happily, they didn't have to do surgery. She's going to be fine and is finally out of the hospital.
Then my daughter went into labor. She was in the hospital for two days with them just trying to get her labor to stop. Baby wasn't due until November 27th. Daughter came home last Wednesday, only to have to go back to the hospital on Monday. We have a tiny baby girl in the Nick-U, as a result. Both mother and baby, praise God, are doing fine. Then the president of my country tests positive for Covid-19 and once again, I'm back on that roller-coaster. I also need this game to help simmer me down. I wasn't going to patch. I really wasn't going to patch, yet. But, it's been rigged that you can't get into the game in offline mode when a patch is pending, except perhaps the first time you play after it's been released. Like I said, I played yesterday and my Sims finished their final Term in Uni.
I ended up having to save my game and then exit when my hubby got home from work. He brought pizza, for dinner and I was famished. I figured, no worries, I'll finish up tomorrow, which is now today. What a joke! If I have it set to allow for mods/cc the game save won't load. It will if I untick the boxes. But every time, but once, it let me into that last save (I do the Save As) to set up their party, it indicates the dorm is missing essentials. I click on it but the only option is to build/repair. Where are my Sims? :open_mouth:
Then I thought, well, as hard as it was and as tired as I am, I'll just have to take them through that final Term again. But, I'd have to do it without the mods — the only ones of which I have in the folder have been deemed compatible by their creators. What the heck?
I was so close. So close to being back where I left off in the previously defunct game save, corrupted by a patch for EL (which I didn't want or need) and now it looks as if I'm going to have to start a fresh game save. Again.
This was the only way I could get things to work again after the debacle of the EL patch.
I would burst into tears, but I'm just too tired.
I really have been enjoying Sims4, too. The Sims are livelier than they were in Sims3, not quite as silly as they were in Sims2 (where I started), but so much more like I expected them to be in Sims3. If I can't have MCCC and Road to Fame (which allows me to have my singer Sim back), it's just not worth playing. I'm at my wit's end. Stuck in a tape loop playing it over and over and over and over and over again without respite. Just to have the save become corrupted (through, hopefully, no fault of my own) and to have to do more than a game repair, or refresh the game folder more than once. I suppose I could chance an uninstall/reinstall. That's about all I haven't tried this time around. Oi!
Thanks for listening. You're the best.
