I’M BEYOND angry. 2 YEARS of a multigenerational family GONE. My save is GONE. And when I try to play those families from my library and start a new game I can’t save them. My daughter’s old saves? Can’t play them. She has 2 saves - one family on each so not big files. I had one save. GONE. This new pack/update RUINED my game. I have EVERY expansion pack, stuff pack, and kit pack. $2k down the drain. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM - saves disappearing?!?!? Makes the game UNPLAYABLE. DO SOMETHING
Ideas
[XB/PS] Error Code when saving

This has been happening to me once in a while for the last couple of months (I don't remember which patch it started with). Not every time I save, but it's so disheartening when all my progress just crashes. I'm on PS5.
Note: this is different than the usual crashing upon travel that's been happening on and off for years (which usually auto-saves in the process so while annoying, is not as game-breaking). The crashing when saving completely destroys all progress made in that session.

I found a solution for error codes 22 on xbox. This doesn’t seem to be a bug on EAs side. Turns out another game on my Xbox (call of duty) had a ridiculous amount of reserved space saved (like 400 gb for some reason). I deleted it from my Xbox and I’m now able to finally save my game and travel without crashing. on Xbox:go to My games & Apps/see all/ Then for each game you have installed: manage game/saved data. if reserved space is large (double digit GB range in my opinion) delete it and try again.

I play on Xbox and my save files keep getting corrupted, automatically deleted, and the message Error 34 keeps popping up. This has been going on for a little over a year now. I went through over 5 save files during this time. I thought that I had figured out the issue being I just cannot take photos in game with the camera or phone as I had seen a previous thread saying this and it seemed to have worked for a while or so I thought. I had seen another thread from one of the Community Simmers saying it’s because the xbox doesn’t have enough room to save this but this is the only game on my Xbox and it doesn’t even take up 15% of the storage? I tried deleting almost everything from my library and it hasn’t helped. It seems like this happens around new pack releases but I’m not sure. If anyone has a fix for this I would really appreciate it !

I'm on xbox I've lost 2 save files due to error code 34 it'll stop saving and itll completely delete my save file or progress. It wasn't happening until after the last update, I'd appreciate if it gets fixed ASAP. I've lost all progress even if I start a new save file eventually it does it again. Can that please be fixed??? I've spent my hard earned money, I'd like to enjoy my game please and thank you.

I thought it was fixed with the last update to the update and HERE WE ARE AGAIN. I deleted my whole gallery and started over. It was fine for the last month and now error code 34 then 21, then 34 again. My whole save disappeared AGAIN after I had just rebuilt my multigenerational sims family.
I’ve spent thousands on EVERY SINGLE pack. This is infuriating. My whole save file disappeared and when I restarted my console the file was there again. I just KNOW the next time I log in tomorrow - it’ll be gone.FIX THE PROBLEM OR REFUND THE MONEY.

We play no other games on our Xbox. Still get error codes 34 and 21.

Error codes 34 and 21 showed up on my new save file and it disappeared AGAIN tonight after 2 months of building up this multigenerational family AGAIN. I’m so done with Sims.

Error code 34 and 21 are back smh. FIX THIS ISSUE ALREADY, this is ridiculous. And this is on my new save file. It was fine for a few weeks and now it’s back to unplayable. Do you see how many people are having this issue?
