My game started to have endless loading screens. First with certain lots, but it spread like wildfire in the save and soon I couldn't acces most lots&households. (it was a huge save)
I have no mods...
Ideas
Hi crinrict!
I've never had any mods, I play on a Mac. In the latest save I made I started 100% new. I created a new family and I build a new house. Didn't even open the gallery or my library scared of corruption.
It starts with some lag when I'm in live mode or if I'm in build mode suddenly I can't place objects anymore. If I then try to reload the game I am stuck with endless loading screen when going into the save.
The thing that worries me is that the signs of the bug are exactly the same as when I played my multigenerational save. Only now it seems to be happening much faster.
Hi AlyTortall
Endless loading is unfortunately a very hard to pinpoint issue but it happening in new save pretty much straight away makes it even more difficult.
Do you have any LastException 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. Uploading the file is meant for troubleshooting.Hi @crincrict
I managed to get back in my last save by loading into it from the list of saves. I tried it a couple times, the screen would freeze a few seconds after loading into the lot. I needed to force quit the game as it was just sounds and a frozen screen nothing to do. I also tried to play with random townies in that save, that worked perfectly. Until they would visit the lot I was using. I could reach the lot so it wasn't stuck on endless loading as before. One time the game just crashed.
I also tried to play from a recovery file of this save - I played a few days in game and it went very smooth so I thought maybe it's fixed... When I next tried to open the recovered save the screen froze almost instantly.
I noticed while testing the freeze is triggered by moving my camera angle. I also noticed I can prolong the inevitable freeze by going to other lots. I remember when the issues came in my big save they were also bound by lots. In the beginning I just kept switching to unaffected lots in the same save so I could keep playing.
I haven't been able to trigger a new LastException file being made only a LastCrash. I will upload the one from 17th of march in case it is useful. And I will keep trying to break the game and get a new last exception file.
other random things that happen: I get this pop up that there is a max of 200 notifications/notice board is full (I'm trying to translate this my game is not in English so I hope it makes sense). And in this last save my sims keep changing into swim wear. - I don't know if they are related to the game breaking issue but just in case.
Thank you for helping out!!
