Re: Sims 4 Error Code 533 'Failure to Save'

This is very concerning. Have you tried the repair option in Origin, and also turning off Origin in game?

    @Thurze Yes, I've tried both options with no luck ☹️

    @crinrict I've tried removing my saves and different files in the game before and it has only worked as a temporary fix until the issue returns.

    Did you move anything before it occurred again ?

    Do you have any lastexception.txt files you could attach to your post ?

    Not sure what you mean by lastexception.txt files? This error started occurring after I bought the Get Together expansion pack and updated my game to the latest patch. Before that, everything was fine. I haven't noticed any changes to the game when the error occurs and it occurs at random.  Is there any chance of this error being addressed in the next patch update??

    Go here: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\ Do you have any files called lastexception.txt (or something along these lines ? If so, please upload them here.

    Thanks.

    I hope they'll help to pin point what the issue is.

    If you also have a save game, that would be great.

    I'll get back to you when I know something.

    Is someone dying in your game ? Can you try if it works if you play offline ?

    No sim is dying in the game and I usually play offline anyway. I find the error will occur sometimes after my played household has a baby, but then it also happens at other times like when they are paying bills or aging up.
