Please describe the patch or change you made. After updating my game to the lastest patch Sep 3rd, 2020

Hello, I'm currently having a couple problems with saving my game and editing a lot. This first problem is that this particular save cannot be saved properly, i.e. I had a sim walk from the kitchen to the bathroom; I clicked the save button before I went to the main menu; I reloaded the household to play and that sim was still in the kitchen instead of the bathroom. The second one is kind of similar to the first. In the save, no matter how much I edit a lot, it always goes back to the original form.

 

The first problem started occurring immediately after I've updated the game to the lastest patch (Sep 3rd, 2020) however, I noticed the second one way before I updated the game (probably 5 months ago.) It usually happened with some lots, especially that bar in Sulani. At first, it was not a big deal for me as I could edit any other lots and everything added remained. But now it happens with every lot in this save.

 

I've already tried everything I could do such as removing MCCC, WW, the pose player, the teleporter, etc; or even updating all of them but nothing seems to help.

 

Down here are the videos showing you what I mean.

HI @Plantyl 

 

 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck
