Re: Sims 4 game crashes when saving and all progress is lost everytime on Xbox one

Yeah I’ve tried that and all these steps as well:

CLEAR ALTERNATE MAC ADDRESS (connect)

1. Go to Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternative Mac Address > Clear
2. After this shut down the console, disconnect the power cord from the back of the Xbox One and wait two minutes.
3. Once the two minutes have passed, plug the power back in and wait for the power bricks light to go from White to Orange.
4. Once the brick is Orange, start your console.

♦CLEAR PERSISTENT STORAGE (connect)

If console is wired connected, remove Ethernet cable. If console is wireless, Go to Settings > Network > Select their Network > Disconnect.
Once it is back on, press Menu button > Settings > Blu Ray & Disc > Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage three times.

♦POWERCYCLE XBOX ONE (connect)

Follow these steps to power cycle your Xbox One Console:
1. While the console is on, press and hold the console's Xbox button for 5 seconds.
2. The console will power down.
3. Wait 30 seconds, and then turn your console back on by again pressing the Xbox button.

♦CHANGE PRIVACY SETTINGS

1. From the Home Screen, using the controller scroll left to the navigation pane.
2. Scroll down to Settings Icon.
3. In the Setting menu scroll down to Account.
4. Under Account, select Family.
5. Enter the password or passkey.
6. Select the account that you want to update.
7. Select the category of settings you want to update, such as Privacy & online safety.
8. Select the Adult defaults.
9. Toggle back to Child defaults and then finally back to Adult defaults once more.
10. Powercyle the console to complete the troubleshooting.

    Thanks for the update, @BubskibaNation.

    If it's still causing some crashes, let's see if we can work only with the local save rather than cloud saves. Can you disable the cloud saves temporarily for your Xbox One and give that a try?
