[XB/PS] Endless Load Times

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 expansion, gameplay, stuff packs and since last month 3 kits. I always have the latest version of the game, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.

If I played for hours or notice minor bugs such as keys malfunctioning (no, it's not related to my keyboard) it's more likely that I'll get stuck in endless loading. I'm not saying loading screen on purpose because it also applies to saving. So far I was able to salvage these situations by just saving it as a save file instead of a lot but last time the save files didn't load either. My best bet was to save it to my library because I suspected it would cause an infinite loading screen, if I went to manage worlds anyways. The upload still froze.

Recently, I had a lot of infinite loading screens. It has also happened during the current event multiple times. The only pattern I recognize is that it occurs either while traveling or while going from build mode to manage worlds. 

It didn't bother me that much but during the past month it has happened a lot. Hope this can be fixed soon.

    Not sure if it will work for everyone else but after the new pack I started a new game, created a random sim, let it load in (which it did insultingly fast btw) and then went back to load game without saving the new one. It took a second but it loaded my game and knock on wood, I've had no problems since.

    Mine has just started doing this when I am trying to load a game and it is so frustrating. 

  • I have had no loading issues this year until yesterday evening. 1 out 3 times I've loaded my game I would be able to get past the lobby, into a world, but when I try to load into a lot my game gets stuck on the loading screen. Today, I cannot get past selecting my save file. I am starting to get frustrated because I was in the middle of recording a Let's Play. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the following:

    1. Sifted through my Mods folder (nothing is outdated/corrupted/etc)
    2. Deleted my localthumbcache
    3. Deleted every LastException before loading the game

     

    I'm trying to not move the game out of my documents folder and have it generate a new user file because I had to do this in the past and everything got either lost or corrupted.
