I'm having this same problem on my Mac, and whenever I try to do anything else when it does that it just goes to the loading screen and then never loads. I have no clue what to do

@GreenHummingBird Do you have an endless loading screen or are you getting booted back to the map ? Do you have mods ?

The first time I click I get rebooted, but if I click again I get an endless loading screen and I don’t have any mods

@GreenHummingBird Any error messages ? Sounds like the lot is corrupt.

Is your game updated to the latest version ? Did you have the father winter issue in your game ?

I didn’t have the father winter issue and I’m not sure if my game is updated or not

@GreenHummingBird Check in origin if there's more or not. If not, try repairing the game

I've tried repairing the game three times and nothing has changed, and I can't get to the place where you actually talk to origin

@GreenHummingBird Does it happen with every lot and every save game ? If it's just a certain save, how big is that save ? Do you have platforms on the lot where it's happening ?

> I can't get to the place where you actually talk to origin

Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean support ?
