Can't load save file in The Sims 4

Hey everyone! So recently I downloaded the Simlicy save file and it seems to be working fine except for I haven't even been able to load into any of the worlds. I'm still stuck loading the save game in. Any ideas why it's taking so long?

  • @XxRuby_jjxX  It's possible the save file is corrupted, or that you're missing a pack it requires.  Can you load one of your own saves or start a new one?  If so, then the issue is likely the save you've downloaded.

    I'm able to load other saves, but I have all the packs, and thousands of people have also downloaded the save file so I don't think that's the problem. It's been loading for about 30 minutes.

    @XxRuby_jjxX  If it's been loading for that long, then the game is probably frozen or hanging, and all you can do is force quit.

    Whether this save worked in the past is one thing; that doesn't mean it works now.  If you want to try again, move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, launch the game to the Main Menu to create a new folder, and create a saves folder inside the new Sims 4 folder if one doesn't already exist.  Then download a fresh copy of this save and move it to the saves folder.  But don't add anything else to the new Sims 4 folder unless the download instructions specify that you need certain additional content.

    If the save won't load in a clean folder, but you can load other saves, then the problem really is the individual save you've downloaded.
