I did repair it and it didn't help, but I just moved my entire folder to my desktop. I went in game and it started a new game. I was able to get into live mode, which is farther than I had gotten. So, do you think there is something wrong with my old save file? While Tiny Living was installing it did have this window that appeared that told me if I tried to play the game it would cause problems with the game. I didn't try to play and I canceled out, but then it said it was done installing and then that is when I started having issues...
@atils1995 It's possible your save file is corrupted, but you can test that easily enough. Just copy it (don't move it, copy it so you have a backup) into the Saves folder inside Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. You'll know which one is the most recent save you've been playing by the last modified date next to the file name.
If your save is in fact corrupted, you can try loading a backup instead. Do it manually and move one backup at a time to your new folder to test.

I have the same problem. It is literally my save files. You really can't expect me to play for an hour and then scratch what I did everytime I want to quit and then come back. Every other file is fine in my Documents folder. HELP

@kimgetz Please try creating another clean Sims 4 folder, then copy only one save file from the old folder to the new one. Don't move anything else, and don't worry about a missing objects warning; this is just for testing. (That's also why you should copy the save, not move it—the old copy will be your backup.) Play for a little while, if you can, then save your progress, quit, reload, and see whether you can play for a little while again.

I've done this. I've tried renaming the older save files and it still crashes. I literally have to start from scratch every time.
