Sims 4 - Households Won't Load

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Hello! So I have a problem with the Sims 4 which has been going on for a day already. I have looked on other forums and such to try to help solve this issue, but nothing has worked for me so far. I have tried loading a new game without any of my mods and the problem is still there. I have done the repair option for the Sims 4 on Origin and I have disabled Origin in-game for the Sims 4 (since one of the forums says to do that), as well as checking the saves file (though I haven't gone through every single save yet). At first, when I try to load the household it kicks me back to the world menu and tells me to relaunch, which I do and nothing ever changes, then when I go to load another household, the household itself won't load at all. The picture of the household glitches and whenever I click on the lot itself, none of the sims show up at all. When I try to edit the sims inside the household, the game gives me a new randomized solo sim. My game is up to date.

Here's the example of the household glitching: https://gyazo.com/0b581ca5e471a2c150ab7387596ce1e9

Again: It's nothing wrong with my mods, so please don't ask me to pull the mods folder to the desktop and run the Sims from there.

 

If you do know how to solve this, please respond ASAP.

Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"

Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/Library - right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.

Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new

Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder - launch a new game with a random sim.

If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.

Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.

Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.

Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder

Step 9. Copy and paste the TrayDeleteItems file.

Step 10. Copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method

Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder working properly.
