Ideas
I updated my game today, and now I can't load into the map.
I can load into the current household, but I have to stay at that lot and not travel otherwise I end up on an endless loading screen. I don't play with mods. I've cleared the caches. I tried repairing the game w/ no luck. At one point, I let my computer sit for 15 minutes before giving up... usually it loads pretty quickly. My computer is up to date. The game worked fine a couple days before. .. i really don't know what to try at this point.
The game is basically unplayable at this point.
Help!

Which world are you playing in ? Does it work if you start a new save for testing ?
Do you have any LastException/LastUIException files 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.- ChelseaOlson32 months agoNew Spectator
I was playing in Taratosa. I just tried a new save and that seemed to work. I'm not sure if it made a difference but I had the new save start in Forgotten Hollow.
This is the error that popped up when I tried to load into the map.

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?
If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
This is the same error the penthouse/R-rental issue throws. Given that Taratosa doesn't have any penthouses, that indicates something else is going on too.
Did you build any residential rentals in Taratosa ?
