Re: Sims 4 unable to save game because of “game loading is in progress”

@Taryn123456  Please move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and let the game create a clean one, which it will do the next time you launch.  Then copy your affected save from the old Sims 4 folder to the new one; saves are in the saves folder, unsurprisingly.  Don't add anything else to the new folder yet, not even MCCC.  Just see whether you can play normally for a bit.  Since you're copying and pasting rather than dragging and dropping your save, you can experiment on the new copy while still preserving the original one.

If you still can't save properly, try recovering a backup save, either from the original affected save or from the new one you made.  It's best to use the manual method, then copy the save into the new folder.

    I know I’m BEYOND late, but I need help. I have the same problem and have tried everything. I know it is an old mod causing the problem I don’t know which one. Do you remember what the mod was causing your issue?

    @puzzlezaddict This just happened to me but I have zero mods on my game. I've only ever downloaded the DLC straight from the Sims (like expansions and packs).

    I can't save, I can't save as, I can't enter build mode, and I can't even enter create a sim by clicking on the mirror to "plan outfit". Although, my hunch for what triggered this is either me planning an outfit for a child Sim or using the photography studio.

    My issue is not mod-related, this is a straight glitch in the game.

    I have no idea how much I've done since it randomly decided to "load" whatever it's trying to load.. does anyone know how to fix this WITHOUT losing all the progress?
