Lot doesn't load when I try to move household, buy a retail and a restaurant

Every time my sims try to move household, buy retail store and restaurants the lot doesn't load. The game just keeps staying on the loading screen, the plumbob spinning endlessly, and all I can do is force stop the game. It's really frustrating, because I can't buy retail stores, restaurants and move my household. Not to mention that because of that endless loading screen I can't even save my game. Yes, I use mods, but I don't think I have any suspicious script mods that I haven't removed. Help will be really appreciated !!!🤨

  • Hi @Mineuma

    Have you tried removing all mods ? It's not only script mods that can cause issues

     Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    How can I find the problematic mod like that? I have over 3,100 files in my mods folder

    Yes, the problem is in mods. Even my household doesn't load anymore. I should find the problem or else I can't play the game.

    I tried playing without script mods. The problem is not there. I have a really small amount of script mods so I will just find the problem easily! Thanks.
