November 17 Patch - can’t load save files

[Coco2loco56]

Hi, so after experiencing the now supposedly fixed crashing from the November 10 update I was excited to update the game and get to experience it with sound again. Sadly I get through to the “load” screen click the save I want to play and then away the plumbob goes.... trouble is it never stops. It just keeps loading and loading and loading. The game isn’t fully crashed  as as I can minimise it and the messages on the screen change and the mouse works but other than that nothing happens. What’s also interesting is that when force quitting and trying again the “time last played” now shows the time I tried to load it before rather than the time I actually last played it. I’ve removed all mods and cleared cache and still nothing. Was working fine before I went to bed last night

@AnaiDesign same here (using Mac)

Same is happening to me. I was loading up my main save I played just yesterday before the patch. I attempted to load it 3 more times before I went into offline mode to see if that maybe helps, it didn't. I then tried loading another save which also didn't work. Then I tried creating an entirely new save which resulted in the same issue I had a couple of times before now. None of the saves, or even creating a new one, work. I am stuck in a loading screen. Just to be sure that I wasn't rushing anything I was waiting for 3 minutes but nothing happened still. Just like OP it happened after the patch that fixed the excessive crashing. I have all EP's except for Discover University, and Snowy Escape. I have all GP's expect for Journey to Batuu. And Luxury Party, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Movie Hangout, Fitness, Spooky, Nifty Knitting, Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden, and Laundry Day are all the Stuff Packs that I own. I am playing on a Mac as well.

@User19341 Please try right-clicking on the game in Origin and hit repair game.

@staypuftfish  Try the same. Are you on mac too ?

Did you try repairing your game? It worked for me (Open your game library on origin, choose sims 4 and select “repair” under the cogwheel symbol.).
