50x50 lot in Willow Creek won't load
Lately, I have a lot in Willow Creek that's 50x50 that just won't load. On another save, it worked just fine. But with my main save it won't work. It tells me to restart my game, even though I've already done so. Multiple times. I've never used mods before and I've restarted my game multiple times now. I don't know what else to do. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Is there someone in Maxis or on The Sims team who can help? If so, please by all means, help me! I'm scared that part of my game might be broken and I don't know when the next update will be. And I'm also afraid for one of my households who don't have a house that can safely be loaded anymore. And I really, REALLY don't want to have to start my save all over again. 😔😢

I just found a bug that totally breaks and ruins the game for me. So I have 2 senior chicken and I've already gotten the notification that they're gonna die soon. Here is what happens: I hear the noise for when a farm animal dies but then the game freezes and I can't do anything. I can't klick on anything and I can't even PAUSE the game. When I press escape the game just continues on the speed level I selected moments before. I've tried saving the game but obviously that just doesn't do anything so each time I had to exit the game via Task Manager. I tried it without mods. I tried selling the senior chicken and it STILL happened?? I guess it breaks everytime the grim reaper should appear. I've left the lot with one sim and came back a few hours later and it still didn't work. I've never had this problem before and I don't know what to do. I'm afraid this might ruin the entire save file. Please fix your game, EA.It doesn't let me buy a slot or an apartment
I can start the game and make my sims all good, but when im going to move to the slot/apartment that i want it doesn't let me. It shows the loading screen for like 3h and then my computer just shuts down or when i have bought the slot/apartment and it has loaded it throws me back to the point where i have to choose the world i wanna live in. When it does that i cant see my sims, the money i ahve and just big blue box comes to my left corner. and now it doesn't let me in the game.Booted back to world
so I recently started playing the sims 4 again after a break from the game. When I first opened the game after about 2 or 3 months and opened my save to play, I couldnt open any of my households. when i try to load any household in any of my saves, I get the loading screen then I get sent to the worlds screen. Its very chaotic and I did NOT spend over $350 on a game that doesnt even work. By the way, I do not have any mods or cc downloaded. also, when i get shown the select world screen, at the bottom left corner, there is a blue square that is glitching its behind off!!! it is very weird and annoying because i cannot play!!! EA PAHLEASE FIX THIS BUGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue
Glitched screen can't load past main menu
Since the 'CC fix' update that came after the release of Marketplace, my game refuses to load past the Main Menu. The loading screen to get to the Menu is much longer than it was pre-Marketplace. And referring to it as "loading" the MM is strong verbiage. The screen is glitched as though someone took a baseball bat to my monitor. I'm unable to interact with the game at all once I've run the program & the glitched MM appears, and the only way to close the program is to shut my entire PC off. I tried this with and without my mods & CC folder installed, no dice. I tried un-and-reinstalling... even less dice. I've paid a lotttttt of money over the years for The Sims 4, even pre-ordered the base game way back when, so I'm sincerely hoping this can be resolved/rectified. [CM edit - descriptive title]
