Change the resolutions settings in the game options. Try the highest first.
If it does not work, it looks like the configurations have been damaged. (files responsible for running old safes and saving the game in the "save as" option) Now the question is - where they were damaged - in the current game folder or in the installation files folder. If this is the installation file then the game repair should remove this error.
However, if it is a file in the current game folder, you need to delete the damaged file so that the game can replace it after switching on.
Unfortunately, to delete such a corrupt file you have to reset the entire game folder. You will no loss in the process neither old safes nor libraries.
.Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with a random sim and play for 2 minutes,
save the game and check if load button is working now
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
Step 9. If you don't use mods - skip this step.
Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder working properly.
If it will not work you need reinstall the game
I am unable to load saved games on The Sims 4 ever since there has been a major update. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it but it still does not work. The Load Game is not clickable. What's going on?
