Sims 4 Crashing When Opening World

Hi, I’m having an issue where my main Sims 4 save crashes every time I try to load it.

 

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Removed all mods and CC
  • Cleared cache files (localthumbcache, etc.)
  • Renamed my Sims 4 folder to force a clean game folder
  • Repaired the game through the EA App
  • Tested older versions of the save (.ver0, .ver1, etc.)
  • Tried loading other saves — those work fine
  • Identified the specific save file that’s broken, but it’s my main one

 

I also attempted to open the family in a new save, but the game still crashes when I try to load them. I’m uploading the zipped save file here in case someone can take a look:

 

[SAVE FILE HERE GOOGLE DRIVE]

 

I’m on [Mac/PC], and I’ve tested everything in a completely clean folder with mods removed.

 

Would really appreciate any help recovering or fixing the save — thank you!

  • bbyshayeshaye​  Sorry for the late reply; I've been away from the forums for a bit, and no one else answers here regularly.

    Anyway, can you load a different household within this save?  If so, can you switch back to your main sims?  If the game crashes when loading their home lot, try inviting them out somewhere and switching to them there.  The idea is to find out whether the problem can be fixed by playing a different household for a bit and/or getting these sims away from their home lot.

    I'm not sure from your description whether you tested the sims in a new save and also on a default or blank lot, but if you haven't, please do that too.
