Okay guys. ive finally found a solution. ive tested it, and its worked for my game, hopefully it will work for yours.
Go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/cache and delete all the cache files.
then go into the saves folder and delete all of the saves.
Then go into the "scratch" folder within the "saves" folder and delete all the files which had the words "save game" in it.
You will need to create a new game, then save it, exit the game and then relaunch Sims 4.
- Thank you thank you thank youuuuu! Does this fix the build/buy mode as well as the load a saved game? You rock! I am going to try it and I will post if I have any success.
- The steps provided by @mizdistraction worked PERFECTLY. My game saves and loads properly now and the build/buy mode works!!!! Thank you sooooo much, I finally am able to enjoy The Sims 4 like it's supposed to be! Still have glitchy alien babies (graphic errors make them look weird) but besides that, it's PERFECT. Thank you again!!! 😊
Excellent, good to know. 🙂
@deac15 can you try the workaround @mizdistraction suggested? If it solves your issue, be sure to click the "Accept as Solution" button and to click the "XP" button to reward her efforts. 🙂- Just so I understand. By deleting all the files related to saves those saves are no longer available. And the only solution is to start fresh? I have been fortunate not to have this issue. Just want to confirm before I share with my forum members. Than you all in advance for finding solutions to game issues.
I was wondering that too @mizdistraction
EDIT: Also if someone has a pic of the error message. That be great to have for a blog post.
