@DarkFia14 Can I please clarify a few things that may help us...
- When did this start happening?
- Were there any updates or other changes that may have triggered this?
- Are you on PC, Mac, or Console?
- Did you have Mods/CC in the game before this happened?
This started in March. I'm not sure if it was triggered by a patch or update since I never played on that lot before; I was just trying to renovate it. And I did. I also did try uninstalling the game, reinstalling it and continued playing with no mods. It worked for 1 save I did on that lot and then I went back to change something and it did it again so I just put my mods back and avoided that lot.
@DarkFia14 So it only happens on one lot, and in one game save? And you have Mods/CC (Custom Content) that were in it before that you had removed?
- If there's any possibility that you have some part of your Mods/CC that was causing the issue and got snagged up in the lot/game, that could be causing the problem. You could try addressing this as follows, doing all sets - even if you did most of them before:SpoilerDo you have any Mods or CC? If so, please move your Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. If the issue is gone, please re-add the Mods/CC one at a time until you find the one causing the issue. If you have a lot of Mods/CC you can try the 50/50 Method.
- You could then do a game repair. I will include below directions on game repair in case you are on Mac, as there are special directions for that:SpoilerHow to run a game repair:
• Open Origin, click ‘Game Library’ then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game
• If you’re on PC, make sure to let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the base game first, then run through each of your DLCs (Expansion Packs, Game Packs and Stuff Packs).
• If you’re on Mac, the repair in Origin will only repair your base game. Learn why and how to repair your DLCs (Expansion Packs, Game Packs and Stuff Packs) at this link: https://bluebellflora.com/2020/06/17/repairing-sims-4-packs-in-origin/ - Is home on the lot one that came in the game, one you made, or one you downloaded from the gallery? Do you know if it has any CC?
- If none of that fixes the buggy lot, since this is the only lot you're having this issue on you could try saving your Sim households to your library (save all that have relationships that you want to keep intact in the same household since the households saved to the library only maintain the relationships within that household), then you could try starting a new game save.
Please let me know if any of this helps or if we need to troubleshoot further. Thanks!
I've tried the repair game before with no CC and mods in the folder but that didn't help. I also tried the adding one mod at a time to see if one is causing the issue, but the problem with that is: in order to fix the issue altogether, I have to uninstal and reinstall the game, and it takes 8 hours to do it and seems very unnecessary to fix a simple saving issue.
The apartments are from the gallery, but they don't contain CC.
I would go in and change the apartment to a different one, but I am afraid I will have to uninstall and reinstall my game to make it work again.
