Latest Update Broke My Game. Again.

I updated my game this morning and I haven't been able to load into any households. My game eventually crashes. I have Twisted Mexi's BE mod and it first said Lumpinou's toolbox mod was causing the problem. I deleted it and tried again. Now, I'm getting a BE for drama_scheduler. I know that's linked to adeepindigo's freelance chef mod, but I haven't used any of her mods in over a year. I've searched my Sims 4 folder just in case and it's not there. My Onedrive is set up to not automatically back-up any files, so there are no Sims 4 files in it. I checked it a few minutes ago just to confirm. My mods and CC are current and I downloaded the update for MC Command Center. 

I've removed my mods, repaired my game, and did the uninstall and reinstall. I've started a new game and it still does the same thing. So, what else can I do? EA doesn't seem interested in fixing game breaking updates, or even releasing updates that won't break anything.

  • mine wont even load up, keeps saying error games failed to load tried everyone troubleshooting and nothing. kinda given up

    ive redownloaded all my mods and everything 

  • My game was working fine until I quit for an afternoon. I came back that evening and my game wouldn't load. I made doughnut holes and broke my game because I left a plate out (of said holes). It's been almost 24hr. I can get the house to load if I don't try to launch my sims. But I cannot get the house to load with people and remove the plate. I took out all my mods, reinstalled my game and it still wouldn't load. I levelled the lot and then it was okay.....until I put mods back in. I started a new save and I've been trying to 50/50 but I'm adding them 3-4 at a time and it's too much because something is still keeping a brand new save w/o cc loading up. Just goes right back to neighbourhood. Don't know why. I've wasted my time off work trying to play the game and cannot.

    I am also having the same issue, tried everything and game still won't let me to load into my household. I am ripping my hair out to figure out what more I can do. I hate EA updates, it is always problem after problem... But this is the first time that my game is completely broken, earlier updating mods was a solution and everything was working perfectly, but this time... I wish that EA could finally do something good just for once because they are only good at milking money from us! Shame on you EA.

  • andbrillant​ Many different mods can cause this issue. Most are script mods, since the August patch broke many, many script mods, with this being the symptom, and these are still the ones most likely to be your problem. Use the Previously Broken mods and CC for many (not all!) mods that have no updates. Use “Updated” in the Broken/Updated Mods list for patch 1.117, but note many are not yet updated or cleared in the current list. BE isn't currently reliable for what it says is the cause of a household loading failure. Also, drama_scheduler is not specific to any one mod but can be many. 

    Because you're getting a drama_scheduler error, I'm not moving you into the main thread for household loading. But you still likely need to deal with more mods than you expect.

    Henesia​ Is it one household or all of them you can't load into? These have different causes.

    EA is not responsible for mod use.

    JT200008​ There are multiple issues in this thread. Is yours that you can't load ANY household, that you can't load a PARTICULAR household, or that the game won't load?
