Well I'm probably the only one that has only one save, so I hope it won't be broken.
I wiped everything in anticipation of EL. I am going to try a legacy this time around. I kept a few of my fave families but I wasn't attached to anything in any of my saves.

I have 14 saves and they're all broke. Guess I'm waiting for another patch since I've lost the heart to start again. Some of those save set ups took me 16+ hours.
No CC or mods either and never have so I'm not sure how this is deciding who to break saves for.
New game does work, and I did jump in check out the makeup. I'm hoping they fix this fast because I do have a couple of sims I'd like to put some of these on!
Yeah, I really wish I'd checked twitter before I updated.
It's not everyone though, so I don't know how you would know who is safe and who isn't? It seems to be affecting mac, console and PC, yet so many are unaffected? Depends how much you want the patch I guess if it's worth the risk and if you're ok with playing a new save in the meantime?
I'm not at home so I can't test - but do affected players perhaps share technical components like AMD/Nvidia processors/graphics cards?
I have a Nvidia GeForce 970
IntelCore(R)(TM) i7-6700K CPU@ 4Ghz
As stated above my main save was fine & another one flickered for a second or two then was fine. completely Vanilla game
I have also never had crashing problems since I use Intel/Nvidia. With my former ATI (today AMD) card I could only start TS in window mode.
Edit: people on the other thread also report the bug with Intel/Nvidia.
They're also reporting on twitter with consoles and mac so it's unlikely to be the card? I do have intel and nvidia but also, why would a new save work fine (because it does) and I can't get into the old saves?
Oh, your game crash even when you take out the entire mods folder? There must be a file causing it, no, but I don't know if it is possible to add files anywhere else than in the mods?
Me too. It's not that at all. I've taken my saves out and put them back in and you press play and they crash.
Could that be because the saved games are not updated if you took them out?
I saved backups. Updated the game. Try to load my favourite save, crashes to desktop. I thought, this is why I backup! So I delete them, and add them back in. Same 🐸🐸🐸🐸 thing. I've tried every which way from Sunday, repaired the game. Origin. Windows and graphics cards up to date? Nadda. Everything is fine on my end. I simply can't load ANYTHING I'd started before the patch. Anything I started today is just fine.
There's so many of us, I'm sure it will be fixed pretty quickly. There's a few game changers on twitter with the issue so I'm sure that will help speed them up.

Are you allowed to start a fresh save?
Could that be because the saved games are not updated if you took them out?
Old save, no problems.
