Hi, I have the same issues. Hadn't played for a while. Yesterday I installed all updates and startet my game. My last savegame opens up, but I can't let my sim go back home (she is on a journey). When the loading screen comes up (home should be loading) nothing happens. Screen keeps loading and loading. I repaired the game, I moved the folder as you described it before and I can play with a brand new save game. I put my old savegame in the saves folder and deleted the new save. The "old" save doesn't work again. It keeps hanging/malfunction. I don't use mods.
My dxdiag is also ok (no failures found). It also doens't work with DirectX9 nor directx11.
Yesterday my sim could get home when I played fully offline, but from there I couldn't do (click) anything. That save is totally broken (doesn't load).
So I think one of the updates (maybe the grim reaper challenge) destroyed something. When will there be a fix from ea? Or how can I get my sim and all my rewards, etc. back with a new working savegame?
I'm also having the same issue of not being able to go back home. even trying to go home through the map crashes my game and leaves me stuck on the loading screen.
I am having this same issue: I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times already. Walked away came back, moved my family and started from there, but everytime they leave home and try to go back home it just hangs there. For over 4 hours while I cooked dinner etc with the family I left it "loading" the home page. (I have multiple sims in the famiy). Nothing's helped I've tried. There was no mods in the house I was going to that I am aware. Tired of moving and redecorating to play and not being able to go back home if I leave. Game life though. I was just destressing from the news floating around.
TCB62912 If this lot has the Off the Grid challenge, please remove it.
Otherwise, try moving the sims to a different lot and see how the save runs. You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing.
Yay and bummer both. I like that particular challenge :( I've so far been able to move around and go home again after hitting the community lots. Thank you. I didn't have to move them again either.
