During the past 1 year I encountered endless loading multiple times. I play on console (PS4, so please don't ask me if I removed mods/CC because I can't even have any) and I own many packs: most expa...

[XB/PS] Endless Load Times

Hi I've noticed on my Xbox series S that if I decorate the lot with trees and flowers it causes my household not to open. I can usually get the afflicted household to open if I select a different household then select manage worlds then select the afflicted household. The same thing happens with hidden items behind cheat walls marked "unknown"- they have become nearly unusable. I've noticed that when the lot decides it's had enough (especially if I try and add walls after foliage) the game will not let me save nor exit to the main menu- I have to go to Xbox home and force quit- usually multiple times if I'm trying to get through a portion of the build that the game doesn't like. I lean more towards building sets than cast so this has almost halted my game playing and has lead to weeks long extended breaks from the game that I would not have otherwise taken. Could you please help? I would love to get to build freely! This has been going on for many months.

Samuswise Do you have endless loading or does the game crash to the desktop/Game freezing ?
Is it a specific item causing this or just any foliage/deco item?

First items I select won't show up as I place them, then the cursor doesn't show up anymore, then by that point if I select save or exit to main menu both give an endless loading circle that goes on and doesn't stop for at least 20 minutes.
It's as frozen as freezing to the desktop but I'm stuck in the game so I have to exit to Xbox main menu then select the game and quit from outside of the game menu.
It doesn't seem to be an individual plant- but it happens if I decorate a lot with more than two or three trees and bushes. It also happens with "unknown" items. Xbox has cheats but no cc.
Thank you for responding

I can get into the afflicted save by going into a different household then selecting manage worlds then selecting the afflicted household - but trying to click on the afflicted house first leaves a loading screen that never ends with a loading bar sitting at 9/10 full. Sometimes I can normalize the save by sharing to the gallery but that only works a fraction of the time.

Hi there Samuswise
Are you also seeing Error Code: 0 in addition to endless loading times?
