Save File wont load

@maiaburton  Try restoring a backup copy of the save:

You might lose a bit of progress, but hopefully not too much.

Thanks, my other save files are now working fine except this newer one says that there are no other sessions available to restore although I'm sure there used to be!

@maiaburton  Please check manually for any older saves, as described in the guide.  It's possible you have one or more but the game isn't reading them for some reason.

However, if you used "save as," you would have created a new save slot, so to speak, and that wouldn't have backups unless you'd saved it more than once.  For example, if the save file itself (as in, the label it has in the saves folder, not what you named it) used to be Slot_00000004.save, and you used "save as," the new save file created would be Slot_00000005.save, with no older versions of Slot 5.  You could just use one of the Slot 4 saves though.

If you can't find a save to revert to, try loading the current nonworking version, except choose a different household to play.  If it works, play that household for a few sim-hours, use "save as" to rename the save (so your original remains intact), quit, reload, and see whether you can go back to your main household.  Let me know how it goes.

Unfortunately I looked and there are no other save slots or versions, all the other save slots in my saves folder are linked to other save files, and it won't let me enter to pick another household to play, everything on that file seems to be broken! Thank you for your help though

@maiaburton  Out of curiosity, can you load Build/Buy in this save, or does that lead to endless loading as well?

If you'd like, you can upload the save for Crinrict to look at.  Use a free filesharing service like Google Drive (already available if you have a gmail account) or Dropbox, and PM Crinrict the link.

Nope, the save file doesn't load at all ☹️ And I will try that, thank you
