Sims 4 saves won’t load

I have been having this persistent issue where I am unable to load in most of my saves despite my mods folder not being in my game. This started after updating my game to the latest patch. When I try to load into a save, I get stuck in an infinite loading screen. 

I have tried moving my Sims 4 folder to the desktop and letting the game generate a new one. Then, I am able to create a new save and play it without issues. However, when I start adding the old saves back in, I get the same issue. I’ve also repaired my game many times and tried to recover past saves but that doesn’t work either. I don’t understand what happened for my saves to corrupt after the update, if they are corrupted?

When the game fails to load, I get last exception reports but I am unable to read them and when I use the reader online it doesn’t recognize the error. I’ve attached it below.

I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks so much.

 

 

 

  • jb_miraval  This lastexception is kind of all over the place.  There are some career-related errors, and some that don't look like they're career-related, and one that's related to an issue with modded items used for developmental milestones.  For the last type, this mod can help:

    Aside from that, I'd suggest adding the teenager to an inactive household, then visiting her and aging her up (cheat, birthday cake, whatever).  See whether you can load her once she's a young adult.  If you can, but you want her to be a teen again, enter the cas.fulleditmode cheat and take her into CAS, where you can change her age.  The idea is that aging her up would (hopefully) drop her school data, which would then revert to the default once she was a teen again.

    Since this is experimental, keep a backup copy of your save.
