Sims 4 wont save or exit or manage worlds

i play on a MacBook Air for reference i click to start my game and it takes a while then my cursor starts spinning in the rainbow colors. It will start the game and let me play, but if I click play it starts me in manage worlds rather than the last household I played, then when I click on that household it will start it up after a long time but once I'm in I can't get back out. It won't let me save or exit the game or even go to manage worlds. I play with mods and I've already taken them out of files and started the game but it does the same thing. I'll add screenshots of what it shows me when I go in to play a household.

  • Hi @riceonroses 

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
