New Patch 11/17 - Game won't load any saved games

[KRamz24]

I wasn't having any problem with the November 2020 update, when the patch was released today (Nov 17) however, my game doesn't leave the loading screen. It will load and open the main menu but when I click on a saved game the loading screen comes on and then that's it. It just loads. I sat here for 10+ minutes multiple times waiting for it to load and it never does.

@KRamz24 Same for me! Looking forward to any fixes!

@KRamz24 Do a "Repair" on the game. That should fix it.

Exactly the same issues here, I had no problems with the last patch. I tried not to update it, but Origin said I had to update to play the game. Now I can't play the game. Is there any way to go back to the last update?

Repairing the game worked for me too!

@AnaiDesign There are several topics on this issue already. Try a “Repair” on the game and that should fix it.

I just tried to play after EA sent a notification that the crashing issue had been fixed. Now my game is stuck on the load screen. Any ideas?

My sims game opens just fine, but will only go to the loading screen right after the opening Sims 4 screen. Why is this happening? It was working fine before the latest update on November 17, 2020. Another problem I had before this was when I could create a new sim, but could not place them in the worlds, because the world options would not load. Please help!!! ( Im on MAC. )
