Saving issue

Almost every single time i save it gets stuck on an infinite saving screen. Originally i had my cc merged but i assumed that was one of the problems so i unmerged everything and removed a couple things but that didnt help. None of my mods or apps are picking up what could be broken so now im crying for help!

  • @Jun3xs Please move your mods folder to the desktop, delete Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache, repair your game and then try again on a backup of your save to see of you can duplicate the issue on a game with no mods.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me! I have done everything you said in that exact order and my game seems to be saving fine without my mods in the game, im just unsure where to go from here. Should i slowly put stuff back in to narrow down the cause? Thanks again

    You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created.

    First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken.

    Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back.

    You will need the following folders

    - Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)
    - Screenshots (if you've taken any)
    - Videos (if you've taken any)
    - ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)
    - Options(.ini) (although I recommend to just redo your settings in the game)

    Now test again. If that still works, you can put back your mods. Put them back in groups and make sure they are still compatible with the game.

    All other files are recreated and not needed.
