Sims 4 Save Corruption? Every Household Fails to Load

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help as this is a legacy save with hundreds of hours of progress.

Issue:

  • The save opens to Manage Worlds normally.
  • Every household in the save fails to load.
  • The loading screen hangs and eventually produces a desync error.
  • This affects all households in the save, not just one family or lot.
  • New saves work perfectly fine.

What I've already tried:

  • Removed all mods and CC.
  • Deleted cache files.
  • Repaired the game.
  • Created a completely fresh Sims 4 folder.
  • Tested multiple backup versions of the save.
  • Tried loading different households and lots.
  • New games load and play normally.

Desync Error:
developmental_milestone_tracker.py

KeyError: 'Object not found: 0x8313c533'

The error appears during zone spin-up/loading before the household fully loads.

Because new saves work and every household in this save fails, I'm wondering if the save has corrupted developmental milestone data or a broken object reference.

Has anyone seen this before, or is there any way to repair the save?

Thank you.
