    Which loading screen are you stuck on?  Before you get to the Main Menu, Loading the save or loading a lot.

    In any case, if your game has been stuck since yesterday, you've got something seriously wrong going on.  It should only take a few minutes to get from starting the game to build or live mode on a lot.  So, you may as well force quit.  If it hasn't loaded in this long, it's not going to. 

    If you use mods, try pulling your mods folder and starting the game just to see if it will load.  If it does and you can get to a lot, then just exit without saving.  Then it's time to go through your mods to find whatever caused it.  If it still doesn't load, then you've probably got something corrupted.  Try a game repair.  If that doesn't fix it, it's probably the save. Could be a sim or a lot.  Then it's time to start a new save or revert to an older one that will still load.  

    Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 no i have exited my game since then. im saying that i havent been able to get to the screen with my sims. the farthest it gets is to the home screen and when i select play it stays on the loading screen forever.

    im also having problem with expansion pop ups showing every time i load the game and when i click exit it takes about ten minutes to close and then it shows my mods. im trying to figure that out right now. it happened all of a sudden last night after i found out about the apartment unit problem.

    Ok, so it's hanging up loading into a lot then.  Here's a couple of things to try.  

    If the lot is any venue other than a residential rental, try loading the lot in build from the map.  If it is residential rental, you can still load in from the map but you lose everything that is in any container - fridge, bookcase, toy box and possible anything in any chests or storage containers (I'm not sure on the chests or storage containers).  There are reports on losing the contents of the fridge, bookcase and toybox.  No reports that I have seen on other containers.

    If you get into the lot, make a small change.  Add something like a chair.  Anything will do.  Then exit the lot and try loading into live again.  If it doesn't work, then go to Manage Households and take the family on the lot to CAS.  Check to make sure you don't have any broken CAS items on them.  Fix what you find if you find anything.  then try loading into the lot in live again.

    If it still won't load, then try moving the family out.  Keep in mind that you'll lose the connection between the sims and anything personal like birth certificates if you sell the furnishings when you move out.  After getting the family out, try to get into the lot from the map again.  If that doesn't work and you have a copy of the lot in your Library, you can try replacing the lot from the map.

    Another thing you can do before moving the family out is play another household and travel to the lot giving you the problem to see if you can get to the lot that way.  

      

    I don't know if any of that will solve the problem but doing those things has solved problems for other people before.  It's probably worth a try anyway since you can't play atm.

    On the popups.  I did see your other post on that this morning.  The only things I can suggest are first, try a game repair.  If that doesn't work, try a user folder reset.  To reset your user folder, just rename your "The Sims 4" folder.  Start the game.  You'll have to close all the popups for the packs you have at Main Menu.  Once you get through that, start a new game.  Go through creating and placing the sim.  Save and exit.  In Windows, copy your saves folder from your renamed "The Sims 4" folder over the new the one the game just created.  Do the same for your mods folder and any other folder like configoverride if you use any, screenshots if you want to keep them and custom music if you have any.  Once everything is copied over, start the game to see if the popups continue to come up.

    Hope this helps.
