error code 0

[susanleona]

OK, I give up. While my error code 0 issue used to work when I did save as,  now it won't. The saves I make don't appear properly. The name I give is there but underneath it shows the name of a save family done prior to the current one, which has reverted to an earlier save and each time I play it, while I'm not getting code 0, it is NOT saving.

Hey all,

We're investigating this issue and would like to gather save files to help us out. If you're currently running into this on an unmodded save, would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions here: http://x.ea.com/74420

Thanks!

Just wanted to add that the game is saving changes I make in build buy but not the progress of my sim family and anything they do.

My corrupt save file

Sims 4 file

I was using the file to play with the default households, but I started encountering the error after I started to play with the Goths.

I tried adding the exception that I got, but I couldn't attach it so I uploaded that to Drive too.

@EA_Cade Sorry, unsure what text file this wants (likely why I'm unmodded lol) Still experiencing Error 0. Save As seems to be working now, and only if I don't save over an existing file, but start a new. No other save methods work still.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What happens when the bug occurs? I cannot save and then it deletes the one I was trying to save.
What do you expect to see? Improvement, I should be able to save and, if not, find out what is causing it and why
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No mods, I have downloaded a little from the Exchange
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It started happening after Lovestruck went live, even tho I do not have Lovestruck.

I think I may know why it's happening for me, but need verification. The houses that I make for my Sims are HUGE, sometimes 3 basements deep, with a lot of testingcheats bb.moveobjects "[" or "]" (enlarge or shrink) applied. I paused playing my main Sims, who both have 10-15 (or more) Skills maxed (in case that may be a problem, too) and began playing a newbie Sim (only Painting maxed) in a small 1-story house. The Save Code Error: 0 has not occurred with him even once.

Is it possible my problem is my house is now too large because Lovestruck assigned a size-limit when it updated the game? However, I had no problem with Saving no matter what size my house was until AFTER Lovestruck went live.

As an aside, after Lovestruck went live I also suddenly couldn't travel between worlds, a bug they recently fixed, (YAY), and, as I write this (8/13/2024), none of the Fishing signs will let me fish (this includes with my newbie Sim), and I can't fish from a boat either. Strangely, I think the fishing bug applies to even NPC Sims, because tho I used to see them fishing all the time, now none of them are ever fishing no matter where I go.

##UPDATE## Since I wrote this, I went to another couple of worlds and the Fishing signs worked! So now it seems the problem may be down to my homeworld Sulani... but I didn't go to all the worlds to check.

@LucyBrea I personally have had this issue and when saving in the save files there's a tmp save file; remove/delete it and your game should be able to save properly; do back up your saves just in case though.

Thanks for your reply @freakyteen21  Where would I find the save files? Is that through the route folder, or when I load up the main menu?
