[PLEASE READ] Save Game Corruption

Update: so I spent most of the day yesterday trying to go thru my save and figure out which builds are causing issues. I used sims4studio (it was mentioned How-To on another post) to remove builds/sims/CC from your save. I was able to reverse the error 800 once before last year I think or maybe the year before but it came back after Life and Death was released. I was able to reverse again with a newer save. Here are the builds that would cause issues almost immediately after placing them. (I love these builds and I am NOT hating on the creators, I do not think it's their fault that I got bugs after placing the builds) Magnolia Blossom Park by lilsimsie (Lot will disappear and cause infinite loading screen), Ro Kaya Rockside by ChelsiLynne21 (would cause infinite loading screen on the whole For Rent world), and Eternal Hollow by ThatPixelBite (would cause error 800 in game, infinite loading screen when selecting any household, Willowcreek lots would start disappearing in game). I deleted the Ro Kaya lot in my new save and a few other rentals and it immediately made a difference and I am now able to play without issues for now. I have a large save for both files that had issues. On the older save, the one I got rid of the error 800 years ago, I had downloaded a room for the City Living world and I got the error 800 when I traveled to that lot right after placing it. I took out my mods, ran the game, put them back, went to the lot in manage worlds and started deleting items placed by the creator and then load the save with my sim and if I was still getting the error, I would rinse and repeat. Eventually, I deleted whatever was causing the problem cause I got to play fine for months until L&D came out and I placed the Eternal Hollow lot mentioned and the error came back. I am able to recreate the error if I start a new save and place those lots. There are more lots and when I get the chance I will come back to list them here. I did report the lots to EA and they always send emails that they took no action. The only options they give to report on are Harassment and Inappropriate content and I would list that the lot might be corrupted. It took forever to uncorrupted my file and I had to make sure I had backups and also there was a few times I had to recover saves. Make sure to make a list of the lots you place and also you will have to test A LOT by placing a lot, and then using your sims to travel to said lot just to see if that lot was an issue or whatnot, or any of the bugs listed. I really hope EA fixes this soon. Good luck to everyone 💚

I wish I knew. I did delete some of their custom pictures like some people will do real life menus for restaurants or such. I deleted some lights, there were pool lights that spelled out the name of the store in english, and I replaced wallpaper. I have been able to play without issue yesterday and travel to lots. I keep getting errors about postures? The posture files are EA not custom mods or anything. Like my sims try to sit down and use the computer and the error happens. I bet if I were to move my active household to a rental lot, I would start to have major issues. Your guide helped a lot too! Thank you so much!

Update: today I got an error 801 after the game said it was having issues culling sims. I tried to go thru NPC households to find which sims were supposed to be culled and got the infinite loading screen. When I have time, I will try to see if I can find a log detailing which sims need to be deleted manually. I think the error 800 is with lots and items and the error 801 is which sims but that is just my guess

Update: I was able to delete the supposed sims that were causing the issue and reversed the error 801. I also had to go thru sims4studio and delete sims. Thru Studio, there were blanks of where there should be names of sims and such. I had this happen in another save but with lots and after deleting the blanks it seemed to solve the issue. I have a bug that I was experiencing before the most recent 801 error and that was what other had said of Vet and other business no longer working proper. When I travel to the lots, there are no employee sims. I have not been able to fix this yet.
