[Patch 1.117] When Loading Household, Game Returns to Neighborhood Select Screen

Hi all,

We've merged several threads here that were related to the inability to load saves or new games on modded or previously modded saves after the August 19th update. 

At this time and after investigations, we’ve been unable to reproduce these issues outside of saves that included broken or outdated mods. In order to identify broken or outdated mods in your game, you can follow the steps here. 

Some mods will leave behind files in The Sims 4 directory that need to be deleted manually, or they may continue to interact with the game. Playing a save that previously had mods enabled carries some risk, as remnants of those mods can persist even after they’ve been uninstalled. This is especially true for “script mods”. Due to this, it’s important to remove these files completely and test a fresh save game with the steps here. 

If you are experiencing issues loading into your households after fully removing your mods and repairing your game following the steps linked above, or if you have never used mods, please post in the current bug thread here and share your save file with us so we can verify that this bug exists on unmodded saves as well to aid our investigation into this issue.

Thank you!
