Hi @Sssimsara
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately, it does the same thing with the new Sims 4 folder, just loops to Create A Sim. I know it was working earlier today because I was working on a build so I'm pretty sure going into Play Scenario is what broke it. You ever wish life had an undo button?
As an addendum, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Sims 4 and Origin. It did not help. If I play the scenario, the scenario opens instead of Create A Sim. If I delete the scenario, I get taken right back to Create A Sim.

- @Sssimsara Did you add the scenario to a new save game or an existing one ?
Do you also have the loop thing in a new save game ? The game always starts with CAS if you create a fresh save. So to be sure, you can also not create a new family, and place then in the game cause that takes you back to CAS ?
To me it sounds like you started a new save and the save with the scanarios either didn't save or you deleted it because you added the new household to the same save.I appreciate your quick replies and your suggestions. Unfortunately, not a lot to be done because I have realized from the size of My Sims 4 folder, my game is back to square one. It loops because I have no saved games whatsoever. For whatever reason, my saved stuff was deleted when I went into the Play Scenario section, even though I didn't start the scenario, just went into Create A Sim, then tried immediately to get out of it and back into my usual neighborhood screen, which I have done many times before because it isn't uncommon to accidentally get into Create A Sim by clicking the wrong button. Normally, you can exit right out and get back to the neighborhood without creating a sim. However, in this situation, it would not allow me to do that, the reason being, that my saved neighborhood was gone. I've played scenarios before and never had that happen, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Kind of a bummer, but fortunately, I have an old backup that I have loaded in and I'll go from there. I'll just make sure I create a backup before I do a scenario again. Thanks again for all your help.
