Re: [FIXED] Save Issues after Patch 1.30.103

Sure, I've thought of moving all but the most recent saves somewhere else - and I may still do that if this issue isn't definitively solved pretty soon.That's the way I do it in Sims 3, actually.

The reason I haven't yet is because that would make it more complicated if I ever needed to restore a backup game, since Sims 4 appears to look for the first "open" slot and use that filename - I would have duplicate filenames with different backup saves.

One more thing to report also:

I read a suggestion somewhere online regarding this problem, to delete the localthumbcache.package and let the game regenerate it. I did that and I have not had this issue occur since.

6/26/17. Saved file "AX0 Current" (slot_000001d5) with no problem.

6/27/17. Saved file "AX1 Current" (slot_000001d8) with no problem.

6/28/17. Saved file "AX2 Current" (slot_000001df) with no problem.

I can't say for *certain* that solved the problem - but I think it can't hurt if anyone else is having this issue, or just good general practice to clear out accumulated junk in that file.

I will continue to watch and test! Thanks so much for everyone's help and input - especially Crinrict!
