Help lol. I launch sims and it works completely fine and loads into san myshino where i last played my game with those sims i made. I literally just bought cottage living today as a gift for myself for completely my 3/4 unit exams for university. I made a new sim. to move into a cottage expecting to you know garden look at animals. i dont know havent seen the gameplay yet so really was just tryna experience it and have fun with it. As soon as i click “move household” and the check button. it goes into a loading screen as it always does except this loading screen is taking 3 hours to load. Literally have restarted the game 3 times and my computer once. Its not my mods or cc as i have checked. Idek whats going on but its really upsetting me. all i wanted to do was play the new pack cause this looks like the best one yet

@jesele12345 How do you know it's none of your cc/mods ? Did you test without anything ? That's the only way to be sure it's not mods/cc, especially since it could also be a conflict between mods. Also make sure to delete the localthumbcache file.

Do you have lots of empty households generated in your household manager ?

@crinrict Hey! Ive downloaded the better exceptions mod. so its supposed to let me know if any mods have broken the game. but i’ll probably find a day to just spend all day removing mods etc. i’ve been avoiding it cause i have so many. it just doesnt seem like a mod issue to me. cause i can still go into cas and go to different worlds. it just doesnt let me load into an actual game

@jesele12345 Also had this problem, but I just accidentally pressed the “m” shortcut key. Got the spinning wheel thing and gave it like 20 minutes before I had to force shutdown my computer. Never had this issue prior to cottage living patch. Never used any mods.

How did you fix it? just by shutting down?

@jesele12345 Just remove all your mods, test your save without them, if it doesn't happen, you can start hunting.

There's many reasons for stuck loading screens and mods is always the first that needs ruling out.

There's currently a known issue if you travelled to the snow festival.
