Re: Sims 4 Error Code 533 Failure to Save

It's not 531, it's 533. Going to Manage Neighborhood allows me to save (no error) but when I reload it hasn't actually saved and I get the previous save point.

I've seen it a half dozen times. No consistency as to what causes it. There's no events, group gatherings, etc. that are happening every time it fails.

I did some looking around on the lot to see if there were any objects that were popping up (like a gnome, dirty dishes, etc) that could be messing it up. Then I realized that after I payed bills through the computer, I couldn't save. I rebooted the save and tried specifically saving, then paying bills through the computer, and saving again. I couldn't save after I payed the bills. I tried it again but paying the bills through the mail box. Couldn't save. Tried it via phone. Still couldn't save.

I'm about 99% it's paying the bills that is glitching out the saving mechanism.

Just ran into it again - no bills paid.

I'm not paying close enough attention because I don't expect it when it does pop up, but it seems to me that when I manage to save after a 533 error (after going to manage worlds or transporting to a different lot) that when it reloads it's a mixed save. The location is correct, but everything else is as it was on the previous good save. So my child sim maxes a skill in the evening, I get a 533, go to a park, successfully save. When I reload the skill is back at where it was on the previous good save, my child sim is at the park where I saved last even though she should be in school (at 9:30 am), and the day is the one I got a 533 on. That's if I'm remembering correctly.

Willing to share your save game ?

If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves, upload to mediafire or dropbox and PM me the link.

Wouldn't know how to do that - dropbox, etc.

Coming back from change appearance reverts to the last good save, too. I would say clubs have something to do with it, since it usually happens during a club meeting. But then I'm usually having a club meeting - they're great for skilling.

Going to start ripping out CC and mods until it works again. 

MB Faster Showers

MB Faster Eating

Works fine once I take them out. How showering or eating causes a save issue is beyond me.

Mods need updating with every patch. Make sure to only put back what's updated.

What about you @theburglar1337 are you also using mods ?

Hi All

I have the same problem. I'm playing the sims 4 + get together. No mods.

This error appears very random. Don't know what might be the trigger.

Any suggestions what should I check?

Cheers

Do you have an lastexcpetion files.txt in your documents folder ?

--- edit ---

Yes, I have it.

Could you attach them to your post ?

@Namarie_wroc @theburglar1337 @Ruffinshot

How many club points do you guys have ?

I made an Info Request thread with a few suggestions here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/INFO-REQUEST-Save-Error-533/m-p/5074364#M63081

I'm locking this thread so we don't have multiple.

You don't need to provide your info again, as I've linked this thread but please continue to post in the new one.
