Ideas
Everyone in this thread need to post their LastExceptions in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
- Delete the ones you have
- Trigger the error again
- Check if new ones are created
- If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.
Any posts that are on modded game WILL be moved to the mods forum. You need to test a properly vanilla save, moving your mods folder to the desktop, deleting localcachefile thread (or even better a folder rename)
Instructions for folder rename
- 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.
Is this a temporary solution to the problem? While it gets fixed? Or will it remain broken? Just as ive tried this and its remained broken, I still cant load my household, just worried for how long this will take to fix
