Bloated save? What do I do?

Perti23 · March 14

Since the latest emergency patch last week my game either won't load at all or crashes unexpectedly. I've done some research on the internet and I think that I might have a "bloated save".

Is there a way to fix the affected savefile?

Hi there, you'll probably need to post this on the bug forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

Have you tried doing a game repair?

Several times. Didn't help.

That "bloated save" thing was a pretty long time ago. Head to AHQ to the Game Issues forum there. There's a pinned topic for infinite loading problems. That's a good start point. There are many possible causes.

If its in connection to specific lot (= game always crashes when trying to load that lot) it also might be that theres routing failure somewhere in that lot had that with blocked stairs once

Something has definitely changed with the load-in since the last patch. My game still gets to the main screen pretty quickly, but loading the household, travel and shut down are definitely taking longer. Thankfully, I don’t have any crashing. All loads were taking much longer, at first. I updated my graphics card and that helped some. Taking the game offline seems to help some. But, it still takes longer than it did a few weeks ago. I’m slowly cleaning out some old cc, to see if that helps. I already cleared out unnecessary mods.
