cagiorda83 Please remove your saves folder from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and try to load the game. If it works, create a new save; no need to spend much time on it. Save your progress, quit, and move your old saves from the old folder to the new one. Make sure to renumber the newest save, that you just created, if it conflicts with one of your older saves.
Try again to load the game, and if you can get to the Main Menu, use Load Game to select an older save and play it. If the save is fine, you can continue playing it and save your progress; it should work again going forward.
At least for me, this doesn't solve the problem, or only fixes it partly. I can create a new save if my save folder is empty or I delete it, and I can load that save, but as soon as I add my old saves back into the folder, it crashes again before getting into the main menu.
Mines the same, taking my mods folder out doesn't make a difference. I've gone through every version of every 'fix' that's been mentioned so far and nothing, the only thing that gets me past the initial loading screen is completely removing my saves folder. As soon as I put my previous saves back in it's right back to crashing before the main menu. I've been playing one of these saves for years man, it's survived a new pc twice and an official update is what's gonna make me lose it? ridiculous
This isn't working how many people is this happening too how long before ea fixes it i cant loose my saves and they arent backed up to any drives
I am having the same issue. Can you please describe what you mean? I've never removed my saves before, what am I removing and adding?
