So, I've been having an issue with my game since I updated to the latest patch.
I can't load or start any new save files. I get a pop-up message (seen below)
What I've done so far is reset the Sims 4 folder and it works then but when I add my saves file back in I get an error (again, seen below). I don't have mods enabled in game again yet so it's not that causing the issue and even if it was then I should be able to at least start a new save file.
Image of Error (It says: 'The game failed to load. Error Code: 3')
Things I've done:
- Reset Sims 4 Folder
- Put Everything but the saves folder in and it works fine.
- Repaired Game
- Clicked 'update' again to see if the update didn't download properly.
- Put save files into new 'saves' folder to try and see if that works
I really don't want to lose these saves as I have put thousands of hours of gametime into them (and some are actually really important for my storytelling with the game).

If you can access the loads menu from the main screen, try recovering an earlier version of your current save game to play and see if you load that game. To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version

Will give it a go and update to see if it works.
@rosemow Unfortunately, that didn't work. It sent me back to the main menu.

I don't have mods enabled so I don't think that would affect the game. But I can try. I'm willing to try most things at this point.
If the issues are not there, put in each of the saves, tray, mods folders separately to test when the issues return. If it occurs when only the saves folder is in the sims 4 folder, you may need to test each separate save game to see which is causing the issues.

Hello
Although you don’t have mods, you do have cc , which can also also cause issues. It would be good to move your whole mods folder to the desktop, then start the game and test to see if the issue remains.
If the issue remains, try recovering an earlier version of your current save game to play and see if that also has issues.. To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version
