Sims 4 Saving Problem

 So here's the thing - I don't get any error codes, it's just that my game won't save. Everytime I click on Save, the saving screen won't show up, just back to the game. I tried using Save As but it ...

The issue with teen homework is a known issue. If teens do homework and chat, a kind of dead lock occurs that freezes the game

What should help with that is pressing the ESC key to make the option menu show or press M. You might also need to cancel the interaction. I would avoid using teen homework in groups atm.

Did you restart the game yet and see if the saving issue reoccurs ?

Also are you using any mods in your game ?

    Hi crinrict, 

    Thanks for the response! So I did a few tests and checked out my game - so far it managed to save everything I did despite the saving screen not showing up. Unfortunately, at the time, cancelling the interaction doesn't make them actually stop doing the homework. They just freeze. Hoping this gets resolved soon, though, now that you've mentioned it as a known issue. 

    Everything started to work well again upon restarting. I ran the game again early today and I did not let any of my teens work on their homework, and everything's working just fine. So I do think it is just an issue with the homework that sort of ruined the game.Though we now have a new patch which I have just installed, I'll see if something happens again. 

    No, no mods for me as of the moment, and I have every EP, GP and SP except Romantic Garden and the Movie Hangout. 

    Thanks a lot, crinrict! Will care to have teens work on their homework alone for the meantime and try to keep uncontrolled teen sims in the club to be preoccupied enough to prevent them to do their homework while on a gathering.

    Thank you!

      They can do their homework, just not while chatting with other people. So, yeah, doing them on their own in their own room should work.

      The game should unfreeze if you cancel the homework interaction AND press ESC. You kinda need to do both or they'll just get stuck again. You can add doing home work as anti-rule to your club.

      If you have NPCs doing homework, it's a bit of a problem and traveling to your home lot is often the only solution. You should be able to resolve the dead locks that way though
