Re: [FIXED] Loading family just loads Map again

I've got the game, and successfully played it, since september 2014. Until today I've had no problems at all.

But today I rebuilt one of the campsites and wanted to go back to my household to send them on vacation, when I suddenly couldn't load this household anymore! The game kept switching back to Willow Creek (my household lives in Oasis Springs.

I've repaired both the game and the game pack and my game is fully updated.

I do use CC/ mods, but up until now have not experienced any problems while using them.

Starting a new game does not work, the problem remains. I've tried opening the game while Origin was offline, but that didn't help either. 

I've tried 2 households and they both have the same problem.

The only thing that works is moving my 'saves' folder to the desktop and starting a new game. I have saved my family and lot to my library, but unfortunately all my collections (including all plants) are gone...

Here is the link to my save file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vidgbc7hi5gagac/saves.zip

The save files I would really love to be able to regain are the one from today 20-02-2015 16:37 (Prins family) and 15-02-2015 10:37 (de Jong Family).

    Hmm, something strange just happened. As I said before, I have moved all my saves to my desktop. I removed one of the savefiles that didn't work, because I wanted to save the lot to my library and then suddenly I could play with this family again! 

    I tried the same with the savefile of the family I played with when the problem occured, but unfortunately that doesn't work...

    It´s probably this:

    • Try if your game works if you move the following file to the desktop: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves\slot_00000001.save. That is the auto save and can bork stuff if it's bad.

    It did not work on my game. It might just be that one game that had that problem. 
    See the first page for more tips that might work on your games.

    Thanks for the tip. Also tried that yesterday, but it doesn't work for me either. As far as I can see it's only this one game that is not working. The other one is working just fine.

    For now I'll just play with my family and start collecting again!
