Creating new sims causes error 803

So I downloaded the Sims and played the tutorial household with no issue and even moved 2 new sims into it, but when I bought one of the existing homes nearby and made a new sim to move in, it gives me an error. I get error 803 saying the game failed to load and it rakes me to the world selection screen. From here, I cannot even go to the original household, it will just load perpetually. I have also tried buying a different house and making different sims, but the error still occurs. I can play as these new sims only if I'm already playing the original househould and invite them over. I have no mods or cheats enabled, just the base game. Is there any way to fix this?

    Does it also occur on a fresh save with no mods/cc or just that particular one ?

    I managed to sort it out! I just deleted the sims 4 folder out of the electronic arts folder and then played the game and I was able to create a sim and build a house. I have tested with all my custom content back in the game and it is working. I can’t believe it was something as simple as that.

    @xxlivvs It's possible that it's only affecting one save game. Did you start a new save game ?

    Yes so I removed all the previous saved games from the folder

    @xxlivvs Could be just the one save that's not working then.

    If you're happy with that solution, enjoy the game.
  • I dont have any cc or mods and i still get the message so i dont think that is the issue
