Re: how to stop auto saving?

Try deleting your localthumbcache.package located in your sims 4 folder in my documents.
Also disable your mods in the actual menu.

It could be that your mods have corrupted the config files, 
so I would say do the following.

- Disable all mods in your settings.
- Remove Save Files and files from the Tray folder.
- Do a repair of The Sims 4 via Origin.
- Then run compatibility troubleshoot by right-clicking the sims 4 icons and
then clicking on properties.

Side Note: Take any backups of your save files and your files located in the tray so you can remove them.

That should help.

If you struggle with any of the steps just search them on Youtube or Google.

    Example: say u load a household and your last permanent save was sim time 6:00am then play a little while and realized u didn't want to play that house but another house, so u click just go to manage world, and load another house and the time says 6:30am, u think the game saved but it did not, clicking 'just go to manage world' is just a temp in game save but not a permanent save. Its only remembering the last things u did.

    There's no way to turn off the just go to manage world temp save. U have to 'quit game without saving' and when u restart your game it will b from the last permanent save, like the example it'll b 6am again.

  • no, say that I play and save what I played then play again and say that I sell anything like bed or fridge and then I press just to manage world without saving when I return to the same house it suppose to return and found the fridge and bed because I didn't press save after selling them but when I return I found them gone 

  • and the problem not here i don't have problem If it saves the problem that it crashes my game when this start to happen my game crashed and become too slow and i remove all my modes and save files and start new game and the same problem still happened

    Ok, you somehow thought that the game saved when you went to Manage world. it doesn't. That is why you have a save option there in case something should happen so you needed to reload the game. If you wanted to go back to a time where you still had the Fridge and Bed you would need to exit the game without saving and then reload the old savegame.

    Instead of making up imaginary reasons for something please post exactly what your problem is and any error messages you get.

    Please start a new topic so proper trouble shooting can be done.

  • omg I know that when I go to manage world it doesn't save that what should happen but  the problem that it saves without "press save and go to manage world" and ok I will begin a new topic but my problem still didn't solve
