    Did you put all the folders back and it worked and then it stopped working again?
    100 baby challenge, so yous household has 101 sims? (okay just read about it so no, okay).

    What you could try is if you have mods, remove all them for a while and play the game, does it work?
    For example, move the mods folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to your Desktop and start the game.

    If that works then you might have a broken mod. 

    If it still does not work then you could try by removing some saves instead. For example for me, it seems like my save 8 is biggest, so I could remove all those files and see if the game runs well without it.


    Missing pictures.. Like the small ones there are eight of or the one of your active sim?
    Sounds like a cc/mod issue..

I didn't get an error message, it would just load forever. I let it sit there & try to load for about an hour before I gave up & force closed it!

I backed up my game as you told me & put the files back & tested the game out in between the placement of each file. Everything seemed to be working out fine & then all of a sudden, BOOM, it's happening again. I also forgot to mention before that I am attempting the 100 Baby Challenge. Do you think that could have something to so with it? Like is that save file too large or something? I also noticed that the little pictures of your Sims at the bottom will go missing & I have no idea why. Sometimes they will come back & sometimes they won't & I took note that my game usually gets stuck saving if I save it while the little pictures are missing.
