The game failed to save. Error code: 510:78f70847:44708b40

When I try to save, I get this message: "The game failed to save. Error code: 510:78f70847:44708b40"

Why can't I save?

    @Sfe32ygz3

    Try to remove them and see if the game works better.
    For example, move the mods folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to your Desktop and start the game.

    If that works but you want to keep your mods, you can try some different things to sort out the ones not working:

    • If your problem occurred after a certain mod haul, remove all these new mods (see if the game works), and then add back a few at a time, restarting the game in between until you see the problem occurring again. Remember that you can possible have several broken mods.
    • If the problem started after the latest patch/update, always make sure to update your mods when you update your game. Check this list out for some mods that were broken in the C&D-patch! A few others have been broken after but not so many that there is a list.

    • Download Sims 4 Studio and do batch-fixes for your cc.
    • Search for the Mod Conflict Detector on google and run it, see if it can detect some broken/conflicting mods, remove these and try your game again. (Only detects conflicts between mods, not between mods and the game)
    • Like the first "solution", but for all your mods. Remove all and put back some at a time to find broken ones (last resort if you have like 1000 mods).

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for your help,

    I've put all my mods folder on my desktop and launched the sims, everything was okay with the game, so I put one by one the mods folder back into the sims 4 folder and I figured out which mod was breaking the game

    Hey I am have the same error code but haven't had any luck even with removing mods. What mod was it that was causing the issue?

    @Mr_Panda_lol

    Did you move the whole folder and it still did not work?

    Try resetting your files to factory settings.

    • Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
    • Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
    • Start the game, make a new save, and see if the error is gone. 
      (The game will have created a new The Sims 4-folder in your documents, this is supposed to happen)

        • If yes, continue
        • If no, post a reply telling us the error is still there
    • Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder. Observe! After every file/folder, start the game and make sure it still works, before putting in the next one.
      • Options.ini - your game settings
      • Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
      • Screenshots
      • Custom music - if you have any
      • Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
      • Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back

    If putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!

    Then look for updates to those that no longer works.
