Endless loading when trying to load any household (specific save)

How would does one create a back up on console to troubleshoot? I deleted a lot of other households and my main sims household but the problem isn’t gone.

Hey everyone,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here:

Thanks!

Please tell me you can help

Yes, I experienced this too. At first, my mods (specifically script mods) were fine, and my game was running smoothly. I had planned to make a machinima, and I still am. All script mods and animation packs were up to date. I tried countless solutions from others, and it is still the same:

The script mods would cause my game to be stuck in a loop where, if I chose a household (new or already played), it would kick me back to the world selection. CC still works fine. But for me, it is my script mods specifically. (After the August 2026 patch).

PS: I'm dyinggg to make my machinimas :C

This is exactly what was happening to me. Weirdly enough once I added my mods back, my game played fine lol. 

did a complete factory reset of my PC, cleared all caches, and the game still loops indefinitely on the opening screen while the plumbob spins. I have been troubleshooting for 5 hours I have done everything! Only time it loaded was after sitting in the load screen for 20 minutes where it crashed RIGHT AFTER

I’m having the same issue
