Specific save fails to load – PurchasePickerGroup value 16
Platform: PC
Game version: 1.126.78.1020
One of my saves is no longer loading correctly in the current game version.
I tested the game completely without Mods or CC. I removed the entire Mods folder and deleted localthumbcache.package.
The LastException confirms:
Modded: False
The main error is:
KeyError: PurchasePickerGroup does not have value 16
The error appears in:
purchase_picker_service.py
I tested other saves and they load normally.
I also created a completely new save, and the new save works normally.
I then tested an older version of the affected save from February 2026, and this older version also produces the same PurchasePickerGroup value 16 error.
So far:
- Affected save: error occurs
- Older February version of the same save: same error
- Other saves: work normally
- Newly created save: works normally
- Mods/CC completely removed
- localthumbcache.package deleted
- Game reports Modded: False
After the initial PurchasePickerGroup error, the LastException also generates several additional errors related to zone loading and business/retail.
The affected save can remain stuck on the loading screen.
