Game not saving! - Sims 4 2022
Since yesterday whenever /i go on to play Sims 4, if I try to save even if it's after one second, it just freezes on the saving loading screeen and never moves from there nor does it actually save. I...

@funtybaby Please move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just see whether you can save your progress in a new save.
If you get an error when trying to move the Sims 4 folder, the issue may be that OneDrive is interfering. In that case, you'll need to pause syncing and cancel the current sync before you can move the folder.
If OneDrive is full, you may also need to stop it from syncing Documents entirely, or just disable it if you don't use it.
Thanks for replying @puzzlezaddict ! I've done this and saving works in a new game without my old folder. So I'm guessing that means there's something in my folder that was preventing it from saving. I have so many mods lol how on earth do I figure it out?
@funtybaby For sorting through mods and custom content, the 50/50 method is the most efficient approach. Even a thousand files (literally) can be sorted through in ten tests, at least if you only have one problem file.

But it's also possible that something else in the old folder is the issue, so be sure to test whatever else you move to the new folder as well. In fact, it's a good idea to test your old save with nothing else present in the new folder just in case the save itself is the problem. You can copy the save file rather than dragging and dropping: that way, the original will remain intact while you experiment on a copy.
Hey! So I seemed like one of my save files was the issue, when I deleted version 1 of my save files finally the thumnails were loading and the game itself could save.
However now I have another issue - all my custom content isn't showing. I've enabled CC and script mods in the game, and all my CC is unpacked in the mods folder (I've even removed all subfolders), but still whenever I start the game, only the script mods show at the start and none of the custom content shows. And when I go to place, all the CC has been removed from my sims, and even my script mods show error messages in the notification bar that it's not installed properly. I've tried fixing the game through origin everything ☹️
So I tried restoring the verson 1 save file that I removed, and still with all the right settings and my folders in place my CC isn't showing at start. Please can you help with this I feel like I've tried all the internet resolutions. Again, my svript files show in the start of the game but no custom content
Hi!! I was having the same problem so i followed your directions. It ended up saving fine once removing the files, what is the next step?
@3sth3r-F1n63r You can add your content to the new Sims 4 folder and test. You don't need to move everything, just the files in saves, Tray, and Mods, that is if you use mods or custom content. (Keep the new resource.cfg the game generated either way.)
If you're seeing save error 0, please use this thread:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Save-Code-Error-0/td-p/11317078
You can keep an eye on the thread for updates, and in the interim, use "save as" to get around the problem.
I moved trays, mods, and saves, and retested. It continues to say error code 0. Do you think I have a mod that might be glitching my game?
