Having problems trying to save and go to manage worlds screen. Just gets locked in saving, and when I exit and re-load, it hasn't saved a thing. Tried repairing it, but no luck. Anyone else having this problem? Kind of makes the game unplayable. Only started after May 23 update.
Now, it won't even load. I have every pack except some of the kits. My system is decent. Starting to get sick of the constant problems with every update. I've been playing since Sims 1 and none of the previous games had these kinds of problems.
I’m having the same issue! I also tried to repair the game and removed all mods but no luck. My game crashed yesterday, but I was able to open it again and play for a while afterwards. Today, nothing but watching the plumbob spin as I try to load my household.
Having the same problem and I never use 'Save & Exit", to make sure there are no issues. But even so, I click 'save' after a few hours of playing (and saving sometimes), at the 5th or 6th save I get stuck with the 'Saving...' screen. have to close the game with taskbar, and loose what happened after the last time I saved. Really annoying.
I gave up and uninstalled the game to redownload it, but I was still was stuck on the loading screen. Tried recovering a previous save and was finally able to load. Bummed out about the progress that I lost though.

If that's not the issue, please check your antivirus for any recent actions involving Sims 4 or the EA App.
Hello!
My game is not inside of a OneDrive folder (I have it disabled) and the only recent notifications I see about the Sims or EA is when the EA app connects to my WiFi.
Amarisae_Emrys What antivirus do you use? If it's Windows Defender, another player said Controlled Folder Access was blocking their ability to save their progress in a large save. Here's how to check your CFA settings:

Are you still unable to load your main household though? If so, please try recovering a backup save:
