Builds refuse to save just in the game no gallery

Hi, so for the past week I've been spending hours and hours making different builds and every time I save the game and try to go load the lot later on, none of my progress has saved. I have 3 builds I spent the better part of 6 hours working on and now I can't load the lot or when it does load it loads the previous, unchanged version of the lot. I'm very frustrated as building is my favorite part of the sims and I take a lot of time and pride to make my builds. I feel devasted that I may have to start all over.

I tried to repair the game, I tried to recover different save files, I have deleted a lot of different script mods and still nothing is helping. I'm starting to lose hope and starting to feel discouraged to play the sims 4. It's nice that they update the game and make new dlc but what does that matter if they're just going to neglect the main mechanisms of the game? Genuinely couldn't care less about having fairies in game if it means I legitimately cannot play my game normally.

If anyone in the community has any other suggestions, they are more than welcome. I am becoming a bit desperate to fix this. If anyone working for EA or Maxis can help or fix this that would be great. I don't want to be driven away from this game due to bugs that are being neglected. I love this game and want to continue to enjoy playing it.

  • Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
