@rosemow I am not sure what my problem was, but I deleted all cache files and save files (I was starting a new legacy anyway) and remained problem free ever since. Hopefully I will stay that way. Thank you for your suggestions.
I am glad that your game is working without the issue now .

Well, everything was going great until my sim asked her boyfriend to move in. This is such a bummer. I was getting really attatched to this sim.
I only had one mod (no relationship decay). I was kind of bent on keeping it because relationships deteriorate so quickly, but I removed it and was able to load the last autosave with the two of them living together. I don't currently have time to continue playing right now, but I think that mod was the culprit because formerly I couldn't load any save after the bug occurred. I will update again later.

Hello @FearTheMeggles I am sorry but the No Relationship Decay mod has been the cause of this issue in many games. Once simmers have removed it, their issues have been fixed.

I'll be sad to see the mod go, but not as sad as I would be with a game breaking bug. Thank you @rosemow for your help!

Same here. I just got GTW and I started my household. I wanted to create a disguise for my alien so I did that, lol, and then I clicked the check and it took me to the main menu or map. I couldn't get back in or even when I started a fresh, new game.
I had the same problem,here's how i fixed it : go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder and copy the map named saves ,then delete that The Sims 4 folder (don't worry,the folder will be created again when you start the game) and just start the game and you should be able to create your household,then create at least 1 sim and save the game,after you done that exit the game go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder and replace the new saves map with the old one and it should work,maybe it won't work the first time you start the game so you will have to start and exit the game for a few times,i hope it will work :) (sorry for my bad english)

Also, Go to your save folder and move the slot_00000001.save file. to your desktop. That is the autosave file and could be causing issues. Then launch the game. Go to the load button ( the one with the file image) in the main screen in the game, load one of your game files ( not the autosave ) and see if it works.
If the issue is still there, use these links to roll back your save game files to an earlier version.
So, after taking 5 weeks or so off, I updated Origin and applied the latest patches to find that I, too, am stuck in a loop that will not allow me to load any of my saved games... pretty much the same problem everyone else is having. I've tried most of the "fixes" mentioned here but, alas, no joy. Without launching into a diatribe of how much time I had put into this game, I will say that we need a definitive "official" fix for this that will allow us to restore and play our saved games. Having to start over would be a game changer...not something I would be willing to do.

If after that the issues remain, do this:

Have you tested a new save game file to see if the issue is fixed in that game?
I am sorry. You may need to save your sims household to your library, then save their house, and start a new save game file. Then place them in the new save game.
Ughh, tried everything in this thread and the associated links and nothing has worked bar starting a new game.
This is the second time this has happened and frankly if the devs can't make a game that doesn't shred peoples saves seemingly at random like this I'm done.

Have you downloaded any lots from the gallery that contain items from packs that you don't own? Some simmers have found that this has caused the issue. If you have, try deleting that home and see if that helps.
All I had to do was log out of everything, and then turn off my computer. But it erased my progress
Hello @Xman0706. I am sorry to hear that you were affected by the issue too. I hope that you didn't lose too much of your progress since your last save. I am glad that logging out and shutting down your computer helped to fix the issue.
I'm having this issue, but only if I have my cc on. If I turn it off and play vanilla, it plays just fine.
Hello.
Move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and a new mods folder will be generated, Exit the game. Then n put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder one by one or in batches and testing after each one to see which is the cause of the problem.
There has been many mods/cc that have been conflicting with the game since the latest patches.

I just started having this same issue last week. I had played in build mode & even created a new household. But when I tried to play with one of my previously saved families (3 generations deep) it kept going back to the map. This is very frustrating. I just want to play my game. I don't want to have to start all over. Hope they fix this issue asap!

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.
If you need to start a new save game, you can save your sims to your library and save their homes to your library, then start a new game and place them into the new save game.
They will lose though any relationships that your sims have with sims not in their household, and will lose their inventory and collections progress. They will retain though their skills and their careers.
My sims 4 is do the same thing keep taking me to the map after I click family takes me back to map
Hello @Breasia .
I am sorry that you are having this issue.
Shut down your computer completely. Start the computer again, then launch the game and see if that helps.
Do you have cc/mods in your game? If you do, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if the issue is still there.
