I too am receiving Error code 503:523abb9d:dab25892 whenever I try to save (or save as). I've tried started with a fresh save, and have removed all mods and CC from my game, and repaired the game in Origin. This problem began with today's new patch (3/31/22).  I've tried to attach my last exception file, but it says the content type does not match its file extension and has been removed. Thus, here is the text of the document itself, copied here:

@shelwass DId you delete the localthumbcache file after removing the mods ? Have you tried renaming your user folder ?

    @crinrict Thanks for your reply! Yes, I did delete the cache. Renaming the user folder, no. How do I go about doing that?

      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.

        Thanks, @crinrict. I will give that a try.
