HI @kim7878 

 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck

I am having the exact same issue since I got eco lifestyle. I’ve never had any mods or cc. I have all packs. I’m on a pc. I have the most recent update that was released June 10th. I hope this gets fixed soon. Along with the other bugs I’ve reported due to eco lifestyle.

@Lyndie5708 What happens exactly in your game when you try ? Is it just that save or does it also happen if you try a fresh one for testing purposes ?
