LE: Soc_Entertain_TellStory

LovelyGelina​  Sometimes there's something stuck in one household that can resolve by playing another for a while.  So it's possible that this is fixed.  But I'd keep backups anyway.

If you get the same endless loading again, look for a new lastexception in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  I'd only want a fresh one, so it would be best to delete any you have now.  If you get a new one, open the file, copy the text, and paste it into a reply here.

When I looked, I had 2. This is the most recent one:

It's back to continuous loading...

Hi LovelyGelina​ 

found an older report for this LE so I moved this to the bug forum.

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.

Ok, once I get home I'll get those over to you! Thank you!
