Cannot Play Household

-KendallKatz-

Hey Simmers!
So I have been having an issue which has limited me from playing the Sims for quite some time now. Every time I try to play a household the loading screen stays there forever. It isn't frozen, because the plumbob is spinning and the little fun facts are flying in and out at the bottom of the screen. I don't think it will ever load, and it's getting very annoying. I do have custom content which I'm sure that could be a factor. But is there any options where I can play with custom content? Regardless, any of your responses are welcome. Thank you, and have a blessed day!

^^^^ This is the loading screen that is giving me problems, right after choosing a household. CAS works perfectly fine.

Have you tried without the CC?

Hello,
Move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game, play for a little and test to see if that helps the issues. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem. Put one item in , test the game , take it out. Then test another one, to find the cause of the issue.

Sometimes having a large amount of items in the sims inventories and household inventory can also cause issues. Remove some of the items from the inventories and see if that helps.

Try lowering your graphics settings and see if that helps the issue.

Have you been playing the same save game file for a while? Sometimes that can cause issues. Try starting a new save game and test to see if that helps the issue.
If it helps, you may need to save your sims to the library, save their homes to the library, start a new game, and place your sims and the homes into it. 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.

I just did, and it didn't work. Does that explain it? @Jinsi

@rosemow Well, just before putting my cc back in I started my game over so no, I've only had my saves file for a few days. I will try to replace the mods folder and put them back in groups. Thank you both very much for your solutions!

Hello.
Try testing the game without the mods folder in it, and see if that helps.

If you are still having issues, try doing the other suggestions I posted in the above post.

Also, try switching back to 32 bit mode and see if that helps.
Right click on The Sims 4 tile in Origin.
Select “Game Properties”
Change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 32-bit”

Try also testing by starting a new save game, using random sims and see if the issues remain . This current save game may have issues.
