Hi @lananthem
first the inevitable question: Any mods/cc in your game ?
Does it happen on all households or hare square ? Does Hare Square show as incomplete on the map ?

Have you tried removing the cc/mods to find out if it also occurs without ?

Mine occurs without the mods in the game. I have been dealing with the chat people for two days. I have lost a whole group of Sims to this problem. So I am going to be smart and just go with a new group of Sims and start all over again and bam! If it didn't happen again.

What do you mean you lost a group of Sims?
Please, when do you get this error?Did you disable mods or remove them? Or just don't have any?
I guess you tried repairing the game?Please do a factory reset 🙂
Try resetting your files to factory settings.
- Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
- Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
- Start the game, make a new save, and see if the error is gone.
(The game will have created a new The Sims 4-folder in your documents, this is supposed to happen)- If yes, continue
- If no, post a reply telling us the error is still there
- Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder. Observe! After every file/folder, start the game and make sure it still works, before putting in the next one.
- Options.ini - your game settings
- Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
- Screenshots
- Custom music - if you have any
- Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
- Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back
If putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!
