Unable to Access Sims Households

I made a family of 4 with common Korean names. I received a warning after confirming the family to begin my game. After clicking the button a warning appeared telling me  because of a family name, sir name, etc. I wouldn't be able to add the family to the gallery. I wasn't interested in sharing my family  with others and just wanted to play the game, so I continued after it  asked me if I was sure I wanted to continue knowing that. I proceeded to add my family to a house, but when I clicked to play the family a notification that was blank or unreadable  would appear with the word "ok" that I can click under it. I clicked it and proceeded to attempt to play my game, but then now I can't because ALL household pictures have a blue  box where their pictures of the household should be with a sims loading symbol in its place. No matter how many times I click to play the household nothing happens.  I looked this up and the help advice told me to recover my last saved game. I did that and the issue was gone in that saved version, but I repeat the steps of adding my sims to a household to play them and it does the same exact thing again. Unfortunately if I click on other sims or my old created sim, before adding the new household I am still unable to play them as the same issue occurs. How do I fix them so I can play them? And  what was it  that caused this to happen, so I can avoid  this issue in the future? I really do not wanna lose all  my sims.

Adding Sims Household to a home.

Loading/Playing the family after placing them in a home.

The screen goes back to worlds or a blank  message  appears.

The blank message.

Households becoming unplayable. Blinking blue  box with sims loading symbol in the middle  of it.

The  Korean names I used were:

Father: Dong-woo Kim

Mother: Soo-jung  Kim

Daughter: Soo-mi Kim

Son: Se-jun  Kim

  • Are you using any mods in your game ? Have you tried repairing the game through Origin yet ?

    I do not use any mods, and if I have modded files I have them disabled due to buying new packs recently. How do I go on about repairing it through Origin?

    The first repair did the trick! Thank you so much. Unfortunately the main saved game seems to be forever broken. Constant blue box and loading when starting the game. The recovered version seems to be fixed now though.

    Did you delete the broken save or do you still have it ? If you still have it, would you be willing to share it with me ?

    If so, just upload to some file sharing site and pm me the link

    I still have it. Give me a moment and I'll see if I can send it to you.

    If you have an email I can send the file to I can do it that way. Seems the easiest.

    Yeah, seems that save is completely corrupted.

    Thanks for sharing. Don't think it can be saved.
