UNABLE TO SAVE GAME!

First when I open up the game, in the top right hand corner a box pops up saying: 'The save game you are attempting to load was saver with a newer version of The Sims 4 than is currently installed. ...

This 'should' work:

  1. Go to the My Documents folder and locate the Electronic Arts folder (C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Electronic Arts)
  2. Delete the 'The Sims 4' folder (it contains all the save data).
  3. Reload Game (folder will be recreated for you).
  4. Try to save.

Good luck

I have tried this, and tried to remove the saves folder, and adding it while in game AND deleting caches.. And nothing is helping.. 

Only possible to save the game 2-3times when the game has restarted, but the worst part is that when I try to save the game after that, and get the error code, the latest saves just disappear, and I have to start all over again. 

Hope that somebody finds a solution to this problem soon. From what I`ve seen a lot of people have this problem.

    Here's something to try:

    Backup your Tray and Save files (or just move the folders to your desktop).
    Delete the Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 folder
    Restart the game from Origin
    If it's working in a new game for a while, add your old Tray and Save files back in so you can use them.

    You might also look at this more detailed version that accounts for a possible bugged save:http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/12675022/#Comment_12675022
