Unable to save

Hi Everyone, 

So I'm having an issue where I am unable to save my games, I have already cleared cache, repaired and uninstalled, I've all my mods out and I have taken my save file out but it is still happening...:(

Anyone know if there is something I'm missing?

thank you in advance!

    I did take everything out and made a new save, looks like it working, Im slowly putting everything back in (for the 3rd time 🙃) and hopefully it works

  • I also have this issue, I added another level to my house for a collectors run, but when I brought up the game the level was gone! I noticed that I was missing some collectables I KNEW I had, so I thought there were some issues with saving, so I saved MULTIPLE TIMES while building, but it still didn't save anything from that day. I don't have One Drive and I didn't have any trouble with saving before the update. 

  • It looks like for me it was my saves file, seems like some of them are corrupted. So I've decided to just restart fresh.

    Nevermind, I really have no idea what the heck is going on with my game :(

    Did a new sim and its still not working, all my saves are not there so I'm not sure what is wrong :(

  • Shadowlori1991​  If you still need help, please let me know what changed between when the game would save successfully and when it would not.  For example, maybe you downloaded a house from the Gallery, or added a mod or tweaked some mod settings.  And check your antivirus again, just to be thorough.

    You can also try playing in a new admin Windows account.  The new account would have new user folders and therefore new permissions on those folders, so it's a good way to get around a problem with a folder in your current user account.
