I can't get out. (Can't save The Sims: Medieval after latest update)

First topic message reminder :

Hey,
I just want to say thank you for the game advice and I have also installed the Sims Medieval. It works fine especially with the new updated fix, but I have another problem. I'm not sure if it is even the game's fault. I can get into the game perfectly, but it won't let me leave. When I try to save and exit it just cuts the saving and doesn't exit. I tried to press the button but it doesn't work. All of the other buttons work except for "save and quit", "save", and "quit", and the Quests button (It won't come up). I hate to just completely restart my computer because I will loose saved progress. Like I said, I don't know if this is the game's fault, but I was really hoping for a solution to the problem.

Thanks

Having the exact same problem. Has it been figured out yet? I'm cool with rolling back to the un-patched version while I wait, so no rush.

Nope, it seems EA is in no rush either You could keep an eye on this forum: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/categories/show/220.page

In 'royal proclamations' they announce new patches.

Like expected... *Sight*

These are listed in the games readme.txt file and you are asked to 'contact customer support' about and it says' others not listed' have not been fixed?
Does that mean it is fixed but they have you sign into EA website and ask thus they know if you have a honest copy before they let you have the fixes?
below are the exact words:
readme.txt found in programfiles86/simsmid/support directory using win7:

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/6392028.page this page seems to say they can save just have other problems?
Several pages sound like they can save? That is why I believe they help them with the save problem just not us that can not go to them?
Do you guys have a bought copy so you can fix the problem using 'asking them' and then fix our problem using your download?

//EDIT

Ok I may have found the problem. I use motherlode and set up rooms and spend tons before I tried to save. Did anyone try to save before they decorated a room?

when I save during a quest or something like that it works perfectly- saves fast and it's ok.
But after I decorate a place, and I mean decorate a lot like a full room decoration and I want to get back to kingdom mode to save [Because I can't save in furniture mode] it does the loading mouse cursor and it just load and load and load, I left it there for an hour (!) and when i got back it was still loading.

I think something isn't ok.. and now after I decorate a place- full decoration I just can't save and all of my work is for nothing.

P.S.- When I decorated the room it was from Kingdom mode->Furniture mode, I wasn't during a quest.

Haha, that's a good one! It'll certainly help, I'm sure. He could probably get a better non-EA game for that.

Thanks so much for the game, patching it with the 1.2 version worked, but now it is crashing halfway through the tutorial every time? It didn't do this before updates or even when it wouldn't save with the latest update...?

i don't mean to be annoying but how do i downgrade sims medieval?

I think it ís possible. You just need to do as following:

*Backup your savegames! (Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims Medieval\saves)

1. Uninstall the game.
2. Restart your PC!
3. Reinstall the game, but DO NOT apply the crack yet!
4. Apply the v1.2.3 patch, which can be found here: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims/patches/TheSimsMedievalPatch_1.2.3.00001_Update.exe
5. Now, we need to apply a crack that works with the v1.2.3 of the game. That crack can be found here (Or look for one yourself, if you don't trust it): www.games4theworld.org/The_Sims_-_Medieval_1.2.3_CRACK_ONLY.rar
6. Start the game and it should work fine now! Good luck!

Ps. Just ignore the launcher if it says that there's an update available!

I'm so pissed off at those stupid EA newbies.
They should put their donuts and coffee down and get their asses to work.

I'm slowly starting to reconsider downgrading to 1.2.. I wanted to wait but I guess I could wait for a whole while longer >_<

I looked at the ea boards my suggestion is we all respond to the can't save messages on the board and put the pressure on ea there are at least 3 i saw

I have been experiencing the same problem, and I want to try to apply the 1.2 patch to see if it works.
But I'm on a mac, and ... How do you apply the patch? I have downloadet it and everything, but it just shows as a document, and I don't know where to place it.

Hello,

Well, you could try to download the same patch, but then in Mac format from the EA website or Google.
If you need more help that's Mac -related, please post it in the Mac section of this Forum: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/f32-mac-support

I had the same problem. I don't know what caused it but my boyfriend fixed it. I had had updated my game and he found another update and a crack. I didn't install the update he found because I had already updated the game but I used the crack. Aaaaannndd it works ! Now I can save the game. It worked for me and I hope it helps. Here is the link: http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2620314/008522825736/

I downloaded the torrent. I can help you if you have any questions. Thanks )

I'm guessing this hasn't been fixed yet?

Hello,

Looks like a new update. I have to reinstall Medieval anyway, so I'll check it right out when done. First I have to finish The Sims 3.

I let the game update itself from EA , I cracked it and I had the save problem. I found this and I only used the crack not the update so I am not sure how it really works. Hope it helps.

Hello,

Could you please describe us what you did, so we can share this fix with everyone?

First install the game like you would normally do. Then open the launcher and let EA update the game. Finally use the crack above.

I am not sure how it really works 'cause I tried so many things. However I am pretty sure that this crack is what fixed the game.

I haven't tried the update which is given with the crack, so I am not sure if it works.

Anyway, this was the only thing that actually worked so give it a try. I hope it helps. Thanks.

It has fixed all my problems as far as I've noticed except for the CAS sims pictures which still load quite slowly.. but that's not a very big issue in my opinion

Thanks so much!!!
