sims 4 will not save. no mods, pc.
Hello, first time ever seeking help 🙂. I had this problem for a few months now before curse forge mods and it continued after curse forge mods where my game can only "save as". If I hit save or try ...

so, no this does not happen with new save files.
@Vkey103 This means the problem is contained to your old files, which is good but also potentially more difficult to solve. Try playing in a clean user folder: Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and launch the game to spawn a new one. Copy one of your old saves from the old folder to the new one (they're inside the saves folder, naturally), and see whether "Save" works.
Hello again. I started a fresh sims 4 folder as advised and moved an old save file from the saves folder to the new one and it still does not "save".😢
says" the game failed to save error code:0." - a major difference is that it now tells me it did not save again like it used too.
@Vkey103 How large are your save files? I'm wondering if they're too large for the game to manage properly.
Either way though, I don't know that there's a fix here. If there are too many sims (in the thousands) or something else obvious, addressing it may help, but it's also possible that with these saves at least, you'll be stuck using "save as" for as long as you play them, or until something about the game itself changes in a future patch.
😢Ok, no problem and thank you very much for helping. But to answer your question and for some future pointers I could try, The save file is titled "my saved game 256" and I have 98/150 allowable played sims (28 households). Any pointers for troubleshooting from this info? Like, is it as simple as changing my save file name for example? Also, will deleting townies help too or will the game replace the deletions? And is there a saving limit?
