Hi, I’m facing a critical issue in The Sims 4 on PC after the August 19, 2025 update:
- I can open the game and reach the main menu, but when I try to load any household — even newly-created ones — the game crashes to desktop (no error message) or hangs indefinitely at the loading screen.

- This issue consistently affects all households and is completely blocking my gameplay.
- I’m not alone — many other players report the same behavior in other threads.

Same problem here 😔. And the worst parte is that they take onde day to ruin your game, but take more than 4, and sometimes a hole week to fix it.
