Game no longer saves
I have recently purchased The Sims 4 the other day via Steam and have enjoyed it so far. However, within my first 3 days of playing, I have now been struck with an Error 21 message that pops up whenever I try to save the game. It happens when I try both the “Save” and “Save As” options, and also if I click “Save and Exit to World.” I tried creating a new game with a new family, and all was well until it got to confirming the family. Then I was stuck on a permanent loading screen, which let me click off it, but there was no way of continuing to the world. I do not have any custom content/mods. The only expansion packs I have are Cats & Dogs, My First Pet Stuff, Parenthood, and the base game. It has now come to the point where I can no longer play, which is really disappointing, as I haven’t even been able to play for more than a couple of hours because it’s just unplayable now. I am not signed into my OneDrive and have no antivirus apps running. I’ve tried looking for help online, and still nothing seems to be working. I know its a different game entirley but i never had these problems with Sims 3 or any other game when it comes to saving. Does anyone have any advice?[LS] Romance Consultant: Research Romantic Satisfaction Not Working

Hello! My Sims4 game keeps turning all plots “off the grid.” It is not just residential plots, but plots like the gym and bar too, in all words (multiple DLCs). I have tried trouble shooting with CC packs, restarting the game, opening it up with Steam and EA, restarting my laptop, and starting a new world. Nothing fixes the bug. For residential plots, I can just go to the plot makeup, select off the grid once, then go back to live view, then go back to build mode to turn off off the grid. However, this is annoying because it seems to turn the plot off the grid once every sim day, which is only roughly ten minutes or so of game play. Furthermore, I can’t do this fix on commercial plots because the game blocks the plot from being “off the grid.” So I can’t turn it on then off again. The actual plot itself does not say that it is off the grid when I initially go to venue traits, but none of the utilities work and all say that I can’t use them because they don’t work “off the grid.” This has been happening consistently and I don’t know how to fix it.Save Error 21
Hi, I play sims 4 on pc. I have been getting the error code 21 for the past couple of 2-3 weeks now and it started before the update. I have tried taking out my mods folder, doing the antivirus suggestions, the windows defender fire wall, repairing my game, unintalling and reinstalling. I have LITERALLY tried everything. This is ridiculous. This needs to be fixed and I can see that others are having the same issue as me. 3/27/26 I have updated my game and still cant save my game. PLEASE help me fix this!SolvedLast Exception errors despite no mods/cc (PC)
Please help. My game keeps generating Last Exception errors nearly every time I play despite using no mods/cc. I uploaded a link to some of these recent files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fGsWtiatLbm5JZok2-vv-J3IzZ1Yj4yt?usp=drive_link The Last Exceptions errors affect multiple different save files and it's been going on for quite a while. I'm very worried it's corruption and my saves might become unplayable. :( Uninstalling and reinstalling the game did not help.Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can create sims, but I can’t play the game after. Everytime I attempt to play or pick a house, it takes me back to this with that error on my screen. I’ve already deleted many mods and custom content and still nothing. I even removed all the mods at some point (I believe) and it still shows this every time I try to play or click a household. I’ve been having trouble with my sims 4 lately, so I haven’t played in a while because of it. I made sure to update all the mods I had. Also, I had to rebuy all the add-ons again because they were all disappeared from my Sims 4 Manage add-ons for some reason and it said that I haven’t bought them??Repeated init.py Error Affecting Animations and Building Mode
Hello, I would like to report a recurring issue related to init.py errors in The Sims 4. I am currently running the latest version of the game: 1.122.218.1030-1.200.000.699.Release. The problem appears frequently and seems to affect both animations and Build/Buy mode functionality. I experience glitches, broken interactions, and occasional instability when placing or editing lots, as well as during certain character animations. My setup includes all expansions except for Royalty, Vampires, the Magic/Fairies pack, Rental, and Eco Lifestyle. The issue appears persistent rather than isolated, suggesting it may be related to core game files or scripting conflicts rather than a single corrupted asset. The repeated reference to init.py makes me believe it may involve internal Python-based scripts used by the game. I have already ensured that the game is up to date. If needed, I can provide additional details, logs, or steps to reproduce the issue.Please let me know if there is any further information required. Thank you for your time and assistance.Lost Content After Update
After not playing for a while, I realised there was an update.. so after logging in I've lost all my pets from my family but also my house I worked so hard on throughout the years I've had it. I'm so down about it.. so I tried to add a new animal and it's not even giving me the opition to add any.. And also looking into my gallery they are not there either.
