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.
