Re: [Patch 1.117 on] When Loading ANY Household, Returns to World Select Screen

I've stopped playing during summer vacation and when I went back to this PC, Sims4 updated to last patch (to say: I do not know if this problem could have been already happening 2 months ago).

Now, whenever I try to launch the game, I face one of the two following scenarios:

  1. I get stuck in infinite loading of a household;
  2. I get sent back to "select world" whenever I try to enter a household.

I've already tried:

  1. removing all CC and mods;
  2. removing cache and similar;
  3. starting anew with a new character and household;
  4. removing all save files;
  5. trying to upload very old save files;
  6. fixing the game via EA app.

still, no solution.
Please, help. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. The game had an update, I did it, and when I tried to open the game, the same thing happened to me as happened to you.  I hope they fix it. I use it on Windows.

    HI Vaalyah​ LaFrasss​ 

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    - Delete the ones you have
    - Trigger the error again
    - Check if new ones are created
    - If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.


    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

    Ok, I did as you asked. This is the copy-paste of the file (done with mods and old savefile in, just so that I can have all the "bad stuff" happening). As usual, I had to terminate the game from task manager, but it had been loading infinitely for like 5 min before I got tired of waiting.

    This is an issue with TOOL and/or mgomez-realisticbills

    Do you have a LE from your unmodded tests ?

    Ok, I've just tried to get that file, by loading game with no mods. But I actually managed to enter, this time (yesterday, even without mods, I couldn't). I closed the game from task manager, but the file has not been created. Still, the whole game is messed up, since there's no CC in the entire game.

    I then tried again without TOOL and realistic bills but with everything else... aaaand infinite loading and this is the report:

    HI Vaalyah​ 

    moving this to the mods forum. It's still mods. Now a different one. Someone else will assist you further but you really need to go trough all your mods.

    Check the stickies for more info.

    FIXED

    Writing here, in case someone else has the same problem.

    After updating TOOL and BETTER BUILD mods by TwistedMexi, I've discovered the mod giving me headaches was MSQSIMS's Weather Forecast Cheat Menu. After removing it, the game is working just fine.

  • Vaalyah​ MSQSims mods are unsupported as she retired from modding. That one isn't available for testing as all her script mods were removed from TSR after her account was hacked, so I can't test it either. Thank you for the report, though! I'll add the info.

    I think I had it in my SSD since 6 or 7 years, the original one, not the updated, that go hacked, so the file had always been there.
