Solved

The game is unplayable

I'm really fed up with the bugs in this game. I cannot play with any of my families. The game allows me to go to world selection, but then keeps sending me back to world selection after selecting my sim family. Even when having created a new sim and going from there I have the same issue after I go out of CAS. 

Does someone have a solution for this? I have checked my mods and none of them are causing issues. I have not installed new content or mods since the last time I played which was a few months ago when the game was still playable.

    Mine started doing this yesterday.  I had just purchased and installed Cozy Kitsch. I updated all Mods. Nothing.  I deleted all mods, nothing. I repaired through EA, nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled (so not even just mods moved to another folder, but completely deleted, with the whole Sims 4 folder), still nothing.  I just tried playing a random townie's family.  It looked like it was loading, but it just kept cycling through the "helpful" tips on the loading screen.  It never actually loaded.  With my saves, when it did this, it would dump me immediately to Manage Worlds, not go to loading, then fail.

    I thought I would be safe with an old kit like that.  I have EP1-19, GP1-12, SP1-18, plus SP23, 25, 29, 30, 35, 37, 38, 40, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 54, 57,  58, 61, 63 and 65.

    Yeah I have done the same things, nothing works. I have seen some people on socials dealing with the same issue, some not even having any mods installed. I'm so done.

    I had this issue, made the mistake of removing mods and updating the game, now it's completely frozen/unplayable. Hoping tomorrows big fix does something.

    Danootjee​  Please test with your Mods folder removed.  The fact that some mods don't have updates doesn't mean they're fine.

    If that doesn't help, please try the other suggestions in this thread:

    [START HERE] Crashing/Back to Map/Endless loading (Patch 117.221) | EA Forums - 12512130

    And if none of that helps, please provide the information requested.  A save that's still broken with no mods or cc present would be useful too; you can upload it to a third-party filesharing site and either post the link here or send it to me via PM.

    cj_tacobro​ rebeccaward4​ gracehaley98​ LilSparkle23​  Please see the above.

    BBoydy​  The thread above applies to you as well if you're seeing exactly the same issue, but if your issue is different, please post in the Mac forum instead:
