Still Can't Save Lots to Library or Gallery

I have been playing Sims 4 since it came out.  I own most of the content (Expansion Packs, etc.).  I don't play with CC or Mods.  For the past month, I have difficulty saving certain lots to both the library and gallery.  I have tried to solve this issue by doing the following:

  1. Repair game.
  2. Empty cache.
  3. Move tray and saves to new folder.
  4. Reinstall game
  5. Limit number of packs, etc. when building
  6. Repairing the game again.
  7. Restarting game
  8. Checking firewall.

I am still having issues.  It doesn't happen to all my builds, just some.

    It's more than frustrating for months as a builder. Yesterday I was able for a short period of time, today I couldn't even save base game lots anymore. It's horribly random.

    Could you describe what happens if you try ? Do you get an error ? If so, please post the complete error message/screenshot

    crinrict​ the error message is "your request can't be proceeded, please try again later" (freely translated from the German version) 

    I've tried to fix it with DirectX activated and it worked for only one session

    today additionally I can't place lots anymore without endless loading screens and can't leave building mode for the same reasons.

    I had this issue.  For me, I exited the game. Went to the C:\Users\[User Name]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ folder.

    Renamed UserData.lock to _UserData.lock and then restarted the game.

    I could then save my lots again.

    The "problem lot" when I visited it showed up without any furniture.  So I am guessing I had an issue in that particular lot with some particular furniture placement (or something).

    I hope info helps others.

    Same here its been about 3 months for me now with this issue!  Sometimes some lots are okay, but most of the time this issue affects every lot for me.
