Re: Stuck at loading screen after editing a sim in CAS

I don’t have an answer but my game is stuck too within the CAS screen. I’ve tried reinstalling from scratch. This essentially makes my game unplayable.

So sorry to hear that. I really hope there's a solution/workaround. I would not enjoy having my sims walk around with randomized outfits (we all know the townie creations 🙂) if i decided to embrace not going to CAS or lose months of progress if I were to abandon this save. 

@Imcrying123 and @jocelynalexis  Does any sim in the household have an extra trait, i.e. a trait that can be adopted through gameplay?

Yes, they do. Could that be the cause? 

Adding this just in case: once I click confirm in CAS, it's almost as if the game didn't recognize I tried leaving CAS. I can still hear my sim making sounds (when they smile and/or look around while in the full body/zoomed out mode) after the loading screen appears. So I hear both the loading screen music AND my sim in CAS. I usually play without sound so I only found this out today. 

That’s how mine is too! It makes noises like I never clicked “confirm” and just “circles” like it’s saving to start gameplay but never moves past the save feature. No added traits in my case- my save file recently got messed up through OneDrive so my game is essentially starting from fresh install with the exact same problem.

@Imcrying123 I merged your posts. Please don't post in multiple places, especially if you already have help in one forum. Thank you

EDIT: Have you tested if other households in that save work ?

Yes, tried going to CAS while playing a random different household (I've never played in that household), changed one sim's outfit and clicked confirm. And yep, it worked that time just fine. Then I got my hopes up and tried my main legacy household again and obviously I got stuck again haha. 

I don't notice anything out of the ordinary in CAS. All traits are showing up correctly (including the extra ones), all names are how they should be too. Everything seems to be working/looking as it should. I tried to leave CAS by clicking the X button instead of the confirm button after making some changes (so no changes would save) and that worked fine too. Got into live mode, no problem. 

Hmmm, so I had one of my sims move out of the household, she is a YA sim with 3 traits + one additional trait (Romantic), I moved her out to an empty lot and tried going to CAS through shift+click on the sim - > modify in CAS. Did my thing, and after confirming, I was skeptical, but I managed to get into the live mode safely. Tried one more time just to make sure and yep, still worked. I will try that with my other sims in my main household to see if some other sim is the problem. I do have a sim with more than 12 traits in that household (bought from the reward store, aspiration and skill traits and such) so it might be possible one of them is the problem. 

There are two sims, both teens, that haven't gotten any additional traits. They just have the toddler/infant reward traits. All the other sims, including the one I talked about previously, the YA sim, have at least one trait that they got through the game asking if I want that trait for them. 

I will post an update once I have time to play again. Hopefully I will be able to pinpoint which sim might be the culprit. 

Alright, so I put all my sims into different households and through trial and error i figured out which sim is causing the trouble. She's an elder sim (was an adult when it happened first). She has the following traits: childish, neat and genius (she got these upon aging up), plus outgoing, cheerful and glutton and the bonus trait good manners (got those through gameplay), as well as the traits always welcome, great kisser and carefree (which i purchased from the reward store). 

She only has one day to live anyway. I will try the gallery method and I will post an update. 

Currently having this issue 

@jakiahG Go through Broken/Updated Mods & CC to make sure your Mods folder is more current. If you still have the problem after, you might need to do a 50-50 

It’s something in their household. I moved them out the household and onto a different lot and was able to go into CAS but when i moved them back into their old household it didn’t work so i moved them back in again but this time with no furniture and it worked. So it’s definitely a cc furniture i just don’t know what exactly. 

@jakiahG If you do manage to narrow it down to something not listed in Broken/Updated Mods & CC (including under Previously Broken), please let me know.
