Re: Building Lot Screen Won't End

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 ....
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.

There's also this issue though that's seems to happen more often on Macs: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/INFO-REQUEST-Houses-Lots-disappear/td-p/4620279/jump-to/first-unread-message

if you can upload your save as asked there, that would be great.

I reset and started adding back files. I was able to add houses and the loading screen ended then I added my save files and the problem is back again. The save file is the first I added back

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, mediafire, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
