When loading into my game from my last save from last night (January 12), all my photos across the save are there. Now when I try to save today after the update, upon logging back into the game all t...
Ideas
Let's hope this will be fixed tomorrow. I don't want to get my hopes up too much though after last time when the issue got much worse not better.
Luckily I saved a back-up before the last, bad patch which I can roll back to. My current save is corrupted with several households that I opened before realising and which are now full of black photos and white paintings, so I plan to junk it.
I therefore have a question for people more knowledgeable than me. Should I download the patch tomorrow with my corrupted save and check round some households I haven't opened yet in there to see if all is well this time, and assuming it is only then replace it with my clean save? Or should I put my clean save in the game first and update that with the patch? The latter seems like a risk so I am inclined to do the former, but which is the better order to do things in do people know? Or does it just not matter. Any advice gratefully received.
I am a bit concerned the laundry list mentions the black photos but not the white paintings. A half fix is no good - I want to play properly again. I have been playing a very limited game ever since Business and Hobbies came out to avoid ruining my favourite sim families, and in the past few weeks hardly at all as there is no point moving forward in a save I plan to junk.
Hi! If you have a copy of an uncorrupted save file from before the last patch, I would make multiple copies of that file and put them in backup folders on your PC Desktop. Then you can just use your clean, uncorrupted save file to test things after the patch. If things in the game are still wrong and it gets corrupted, you have other clean copies to fall back on and replace it with. I just made a copy of my entire "saves" folder and put it on my Desktop in preparation for the update tomorrow. I'll do the same with my "Tray" folder.
Personally, I never update right away. I have auto update turned off and I play offline for at least a week or two until the smoke clears and the mods I play with have all been updated. Then, even after that, if I finally launch my game again with everything updated and things are still problematic, I have the backup copies of my saves on my Desktop to fall back on. Even if initially all looks well, I'll hang on to those for awhile after the update because sometimes significant bugs that cause irreversible damage are not seen and caught immediately.
Hope that helps!
you're right, it's the only way, (practically a job instead of a game -_-)
If I were you I would try updating with your corrupted save. It's already corrupted anyway and you've already chosen to destroy it... unless it goes well.
Before I would update a clean save, I would save a copy (backup) of it in a safe place.
