Re: Game Failed To Save Error Code 0

@MsTracy73
I understand that you do not have any mods in the game for today, because this error cause outdated mods.
Delete localthumbcache.package file from game folder and fix game in Origin / Library / right click on TS4 - option "repair the game"

If the downloaded game files have been damaged to such an extent that the repair is not possible and you will still have this error , you will probably have to uninstall the game manually and download it again.

If the game after repair works without old safes and files correctly it is not necessary,

  • Thank you I will try that if it happens again. So far last night it hasnt happened since I started doing save as when saving.

  • So I did all you said didn't work even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, create a sim tonight, not using any mods or cc at all, I play for a couple of hours I go to save and bam error code 0 pops up game failed to save. So now what? As I said this never happened until the update, I have been playing sims for years, once again they need to fix the issue.

    I thought about another solution. You wrote that you can not turn on the game if you do not turn off your Windows defender. This would mean that some file in your Origin was considered by your defender as a Trojan and quarantined. Maybe this file is also responsible for creating saves
    This is new problem and has just been reported but on the foreign page of EA Help.
    Maybe try uninstalling Origin and download it again.

    Your case is different than the one described above, besides, there is talk about reinstalling Origin program - not about reinstalling the game. Origin program you have to download from the net - it has never ever been on the disk.

    Try this because this solution applies to error code 0.

    By the way, such a question. Do you have Windows or Mac?

  • Hello I have had this saving problem for a few weeks now. Every time this happens I would just repair my game and the problem would be fixed. Then the same "Error 0" would return and I would just repair my game. I was plying today and the "Error 0"  came back and I am no long able to save. I tried completely restarting my game deleting my save files and I am not sure of what to do. I love the sims it just sucks that its doing this! Also I am on a MacBook Air is there anything that i can do to help me be able to save my game?
