Can't load any games [ Edited ]

[FionaAMoore]

Hi, since this morning I am unable to load certain saves that I have made before today. 

I get a last exception file which I have tried uploading to the last exception page but it is unrecognised. Can anyone help? I've googled it but can't seem to find an answer.

@FionaAMoore I also realise, the title of this is can't load any games, that isn't true. I seem to be able to load newly created games.

@FionaAMoore  Can you load backup copies of your old saves?

https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/save-games/#wiederherstellen

If not, please move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  Launch the game to create a clean folder, copy over a save, and see whether you can load it.  Don't move over any other files.  If the save doesn't work, try one of its backups.  It may also help to try loading a different household within the same save instead.

I don't know what the lastexception is trying to say either.  One possible issue I can think of, which is kind of a shot in the dark, is that if a sim in a given household has only custom traits, and you've removed all those traits (because they're broken or whatever), the household might not load at all.  But I have no idea what the associated error looks like, so I don't know if that's what happened to your saves.

I also get that LE.

I can load the game, but can not continue with my last played household. Btw. I get the LE and an endless loading if I try.

So my workaround. Load the game, select an other household, play some minutes, and then switch back to the my first household.

Seems like some triggered situation in the savegame is breaking the loading, when switching back to the corrupted houshold the situation is maybe reinitialised.

@FionaAMoore , @Aramiteus  Please read this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Roommate-Get-Hype-Error/m-p/10345264/highlight...
and see post #11.

Could either of you please make a bug report in the bug forum, attaching the LE. I think it is the best way of making sure that it comes to the knowledge of The Sims Team/the SimGurus/QA.
