Get Famous Acting Career Bug

I bought the Get Famous Expansion Pack the day it came out. I had one of my sims join the Acting Career. The first few days, the career was working fine. Yesterday however, when I went to travel with that sim, the game kept loading. So I refreshed the game and restarted my laptop. When trying to go back into that save file, that sim cannot be loaded. The loading screen keeps going until it freezes. I tried to play other sims of mine in this save file, and they work. So I decided to make a new save file. It worked, everything was working fine again. However, when I rejoined the acting career, with the same sim, no auditions were appearing. So I tried another sim, and they did work.. So is it the particular Sim? It would be a shame to have to restart him...

Some things I have heard about others with similar issue are with CC. Yes, I do have some in the game. However, the issue with the loading game screen kept happening and the new save file. And the other sim where the auditions were showing, also possessed CC. I did also removed all the mods I had in my game before the patch Update on the 13th and redownloaded the updated version if they had any.

Please help.

    Could you try letting the game make a new game folder?
    - Go to Documents\Electronic Arts\
    - Rename the 'The Sims 4' folder to something like 'The Sims 4 old' 
    - Start the game, this will create a new folder.
    - See what happens if you only move your save folder (or the particular save with issues) over.

  • Could you test and see if moving the mods folder out changes anything for that particular Sim?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did try it, but same issue. I don't know now if it is the actual sim or if it is the career itself. I even tried picking different agencies, but same thing. Thanks for the help.

    I did this, it did work, however only the first two agencies work for me now, not the agency I used before. This itself might just be a bug, but your suggestion did help out! So thank you very much.

    When you start out in the acting career only two agencies are available as you progress two more become available.
