Sims 4 game Xbox failed to save

[Sierrah378]

I keep trying to save my Sims 4 game on my Xbox One and it constantly says, “game save fail error: 0” I tried deleting some things off of my Xbox to create extra room for sims 4 data, and I tried seeing if there was something wrong in the game settings but nothing is working. Can someone help me out?

One of my saved games disappeared after i downloaded seasons yesterday. Im looking for some answers too.

Same code here... Just bought cats and dogs and seasons and game won't save. Seasons was a download, pets is a CD disk. Sometimes pets doesn't show up on main screen either. Also old saved games were deleted. What a mess and not so great present for the kids.

i have this exact same issue and it's genuinely upsetting me. I've tried everything I can think of. I dont want to have to start a new game because ive been playing HOURS with this household and i'm genuinely attached.

This is happening to me now after downloading new packs, and the solution here hasn’t solved it. I also get a black and white llama picture above a house in manage worlds - and the house is always gone.

I had the same problem. It started after trying to add too many photos to the wall of the house.  (My sim was a freelance Fashion Photographer.)  When I went to place the 250th photo (I think), a message popped up that said something like 'you have placed too many custom objects.  Please remove one or more.'  The message had an okay button but clicking it did nothing so I was forced with powering down my console since nothing else worked.  

After that, I saw the white flying lamacorns over my houses in the world map and saving began to give the above mentioned error.  I tried creating a new game and went to save it and got the same result.  So, I deleted all saved games and started over again to no avail.

My only recourse was to uninstall all of my extras for Sims 4 and try saving from the base game.  That solved the issue for now.  I'm currently reinstalling all of my addons but hope the problem has doesn't return.

I know this response is nearly a year after your post but hope that it will help someone.  If you've found another solution, please share it.

Thanks.

Okay, so got most of my extras reinstalled but the problem came back with one of them.  I'm not sure how to solve this but there has to be a way.

EDIT: After uninstalling the base game and all extras, I reinstalled and have not had the issue since.
