Stuck on Loading Screen after Main Menu

Hello,

After the September 18th update, I updated all of the mods that were affected. However, now that I have done that, the game goes no further than the main menu. The game opens fine and the main menu comes up fine and then when I "resume game" it just stays in that loading screen and I don't know why. I tried taking the mods out, repairing, deleting localthumbcache. restarting the game again and it's doing the same thing. I am not sure what the issue is. Would appreciate any help.

  • Hi Yoha34​ 

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    - Delete the ones you have
    - Trigger the error again
    - Check if new ones are created
    - If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.


    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting. 

  • Same. I've been having the same issue for the last few days now. I can't load into my save file, even when I updated mods, repaired game twice, and cleared cache files.

    Hi, yes there is a last exception that keeps popping up and I keep deleting but just comes right back. I will paste it here (hope I am doing this right - first time on here):

    That is a mod issue. Moving this to mods.

    I have the same problem too - cleared all the cache files (including resource.cfg), repaired my game and updated all mods.

    Does anyone know which mod is crashing?
