[GTW] Alien Abductions Freeze the Game

This has been a known mod issue in the past. Seems some custom alien eyes caused this.

Since you say you removed all mods, did you also tried this:

• 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.

I have experienced this bug today, so far I have removed mods folder and repaired game, I also evicted the sim and moved them back in as it was saved directly before the sim was abducted. As soon as the save loads and plays the sim is in the middle of being abducted still even after following all the above guidelines. I did have a couple of mods and cc originally but very minimal and definitely never any alien eyes so it can't be that, that's caused it. The sim wasn't enrolled in any Get To Work careers either which I thought odd, they were in Evergreen Harbor and doing a freelance crafter career.

I noticed in the original bug report it was reported on a Mac, I am a PC user.

I experienced the exact same issue yesterday two times. Deleted mods, repaired the game and same thing happened again. Lost 5 hours of gameplay in total (never ending saving screen). The game has been broken since Life & Death patches I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bug/glitch unrelated to mods.

Hello all,

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!

Hi all,

In regards to this post, I've been able to fix this issue using crinrict's instructions.

I'm absolutely dumb with any type of forum, so feel free to resolve/adjust this post's status.

Hi! Just confirming this issue is still being caused by a mod conflict with alien eyes (at least in my case). The offending file in my game was "squea_dynastid_ALIEN.package" just in case anyone stumbles upon this because they're having the same issue.

I had all the same problems in CAs and with abduction with everything regrading alien freezing the game. it was "SimLotus_YumeEyes_V2-D-Alien.package" for me. Someone else in another thread it was some alien-eye cc by pyxis. so i think atp we can agree the main problem doesn't lie with the cc- objects per se
