Sims 4 will not let me play my household ! HELP !!!!!!!

LADYG1951

There is a big Glitch in the game. It started yesterday on 7/25/2015. The game will not let me play any of my households. It starts up like it should, but it won't launch, and it stays in the world view. It started when my pregnant sim went to the hospital and I joined her. Then the game started to have trouble, and she was in labor and no staff would help her, she was like she was limbo. My game has been having small glitches since the Spa game was installed. I have noticed that a lot of people had the same problem in 12/2014. Has anyone else had the same problem recently ? Will EA fix this with a patch ???? What can I do to fix this ??? Help !!!!!

Hello.
Try coming completely out of the game then starting the game again and see if that helps.

Remove any mods that you have and see if that helps.
The Relationship Decay mod has been causing issues, so if you have that mod, remove it.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try the suggestions in this link.

There are a variety of causes of your issue and there are a number of ways to help fix the problem.

Some simmers have found this helped :
Close down your game
Start your game and load the faulty save game
Go to the family you have last played with and go straight to build mode
Delete any easel/drawing tables including unfinished paintings
Go back to map view
Load your family

Another simmer found that the bath and shower from Spa Day was causing an issue so going straight to build mode and removing that may help also.

Also try doing this and see if that helps. Evict your last played household from their home, bulldoze their home, then place another home on the lot. Then put the household back into the home.
You will lose their home but may be able to keep the save game file.

If that doesn't help, 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. Start a new game and test to see if the issues have been fixed. Then exit the game. Add back the "options.ini" file, "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.
Don't add back the " saves folder ", but keep that in a safe place. Your game will be working now.
If you would like to try to recover the save games that are in saves folder , go to your saves folder that is on your desktop, and put one .save file back into the folder, ( not the ones that end in .save.ver ) go to the load button ( the one with the file image) in the main screen in the game, load the game and see if it works. Then take that file out and try another .save file. Every file that works, is a game file that you will be able to keep in the game.
Don't put the slot_00000001.save file. back into the folder because that is the autosave, and that could be the cause of the issue.
