Any mods/cc in your game ?
I have two adults and two kids, none of them go to work/school
Yes, I have cc/mods, but I really don't wanna delete all of them because it was too hard to get
Is there another way to fix this without deleting everything?

@rayssauryes.. simply testing for bad mods 🙂
Back up one or two saves of the family with issue
Move your mod folder out to desktop along with tray file and all saves
delete thumbcache
From the EA APP repair game
Create a new sim in a clean game and get them a home and a job. See if they are leaving for it. If yes.. it's a mod issue. SO:
Then making sure mods are up to date add them back in 50 / 50
Odds are it's a script mod affecting them, so I would start with ones you know could affect career or leaving the lot ( even for rabbit hole )
if those are fine then continue with 50 / 50.
if all stays well add the back up save and test again.
If no luck.. it's broken.
If working.. add all your saves back.
The broken one if it did not work.. is probably corrupted to far ☹️
Seems like a lot of work.. but it will save you a lot of grief vs downloading and adding all mods back to brand new game.
crincrict has a way to do all this with renaming files.. but I prefer to hands on move my folder and all 😉
From crinrict way: QUOTETry the following
- Close the game
- Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
- Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
- Close the game again
- Copy JUST your save game from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Saves
- Start your save
- Check if you still have the error
- Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

Sorry, I don't think I understood very well (I'm just afraid of losing my things)
If I rename the folder will I lose everything? I left the game saved from the last time I played, but you are telling me "Copy JUST your save game", how do I do that? How do I know which game is saved in the folder? Is there a specific name so I know what my saved game is? I also don't understand how I'm going to copy it from one folder to another, because another folder wasn't created, just renamed.
I'm really sorry, but I don't really understand how to do this kind of thing and I need everything to be explained in great detail, if you could put images here of the complete step by step it would be great
But I thank you in advance for all your help!- crinrict2 years agoHero+@rayssaur Maybe this helps: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/
