The Sims 4 Won't Exit

★★ Apprentice

When I try to exit out of The Sims 4, it doesn't. The game itself and the saves are fine, I just can't exit the game. I typically have to use Alt+Tab to get to my desktop and exit that way.

Does anybody know if this is a bug in the game, or even have any solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also tried doing a clean boot with no joy.

Do you have any mods or CC (custom content)? Try taking that out.

Re: The Sims 4 Won't Exit

What OS do you have? (Mac or Windows)

And do you 'save and quit' or first 'save' and then 'quit'?

I'm using Win 10.

To answer your querey, I have tried saving and exiting, saving then exiting, even saving then returning to the main menu. No joy on any of them when it happens. It occurs about 75% of the time. It's a bit frustrating.

Thanks for your quick response!!

Maybe a clean boot will help solve this issue:

Have you had this issue since you've started playing The Sims 4? Do you have it on other games too?

I have tried a clean reboot prior to my sending the initial post.

Yes, this has been occurring since I started playing the game.

Is this an ongoing issue?

I am also having this issue with a mod/CC-free game.
