Re: [CC CAS PART RELATED] Save Error 532

Since the update before 'High School Years' EP, I have been getting the error code 532:etc, when trying to save. I have tried going to other lots to save but that doesn't work. The only 'fix' I have found is going into manage worlds and then loading back in, but then I lose all progress from after my last successful save. I've not used any mods/cc since the update. 

If anyone else has/is experiencing this and has found a fix, please let me know! Thank you!

    When you removed your mods and CC, did you also delete the localthumbcache.package file? You have to do that step when changing mods around in any way or game won't recognise your changes, and you get issues.

  • I'm having the same exact issue. I got two different 532:etc codes. I deleted my saves, refreshed my user data, repaired the game, deleted mods, and retried about a million times but my game hasn't been able to save since the patch after HSY. I can save the game in manage worlds and on the main menu but I never progress past the last time my game successfully saved, which was right before the most recent patch. 

  • I've gotten two different ones, one being 532:74fce7ae:27da01  and the other I only wrote down partially unfortunately, but it was 532:e3295cb etc

  • @crinrict i tried it with and without mods (gaame repair, no mods/cc, new EA ordner) still same issue with the error

    @Shivatic When you renamed the folder and tried a new save, the same error occurred on a new save or putting back in the old ?
  • I ended up having to completely uninstall and reinstall my game. It works and finally saves now but my old saves won't show up in the game anymore unfortunately 😭  

  • It was a new Save with a completely new Sim. It was still the same error.

    @Shivatic would you mind zipping up your saves folder and uploading that to google or one drive and sending me the link ?

    @striderstuck Are they still in your saves folder ?

  • no I deleted them when they wouldn't work. also my game is once again giving the 532 error when trying to save in live mode, despite reinstalling the game. it is resetting back to the time of the last successful save which is right when I entered lived mode. it allows me to use save and go to manage worlds or save and go to main menu but then time resets for the sims. if I try to save from live mode I get error 532:74fce7ae:275da01 again

    Present the same error code 532 etc but kept the same number in all the games tested, tried with the existing games of 2 families and got the error leaving or removing the cc, without any script mod, could not save in live mode, I only saved when I moved to the world, I started the game and I had lost The Progress, then delete the little cc, and in options remove the check to CC and script mods, repair the game, remove all the games, and start a new one from the Cas, with a new family, do not use any sim saved in the gallery or one already created, make a new one for the moment. Once with the family created, start the game and already in the world and in live mode I could save at all times, for the time I was playing, 5 days sims, I played in 2 games and in both I managed to save. But still, I have to try my other existing games, those had cc. Now I put a little cc back in the mods folder and with the new games, the message with the error code 532 does not appear, I hope it continues like this. Sorry if I write badly, I only speak Spanish included 2 files, one capture with CC and one without CC.

  • i am also having the same problem and yes mostly after entering CAS i posted a photo of the error hope that will help :")

  • So I have not read all the responses here but in the ones I have read I haven't seen what I am experiencing. Yes, I have mods including CAS CC and MCCC, however I am experiencing the same issue with or without them.

    The first time I started receiving the 532 save error was after I had just aged up my child to a teen. All of a sudden my game was refusing to save and reverted back to when they were still a child. Exited my game, went back in and all was well, my child aged up and my game saved no problem. I continued to play for a while and then started receiving the game save error after my teen when to the high school for the first time.

    Long story short, I don't know how but all of a sudden, 2 of my days later when I started playing again (same family, same everything, I changed nothing), it worked. I was saving just fine, my teen was going to school, all was well.

    Then, I sent my teen to the Thrift Store and started having issues again when I tried to create a Trendi Outfit. Time was reverting back again and would not save. I don't remember what I did to work around that, but somehow I did and got my game back on track, progressing normally with no save issues.

    At this point, my teen has lived 1.5 sim weeks with no problems. All of a sudden, out of no where, I'm getting the save issue again. This time I realized that prior to 6AM sim time my game will save with no issue, after 6AM sim time, I get the save error with or without mods. At the same time, I keep getting the notification that it is Thanksgiving even though the calendar says it should be tomorrow.

    I'm so confused and annoyed.

  • Yes, I am always removing my locoalthumbcache file but it still happens anyway
