Stuck in loading screen after installing latest Ultimate Fix

Linnapinata wrote:Hey!

After installing the latest version of Ultimate Fix (version 1.7.65.1020) including the new DLCs, the game doesn't get past the loading screen to the neighbourhood. I waited 15 minutes and decided to shut down Sims through Task Manager, tried again later but no success. The loading screen is 'working', it's not frozen. I am in offline mode and Origin is definitely not connected. While being in the loading screen Sims 4 does take up a lot of RAM. Before installing the Ultimate Fix I only had Sims 4 + Get To Work, that was working just fine!

Did anyone else experience this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Hello and welcome to the forum,


A theoretical possibility could be that this is caused by a damaged/glitched out savefile. In which case you should try restoring an earlier version of your savegame. See part 2 of the guide I described here:

Good luck for now !


P.S. alternatively, you could start a completely fresh savegame too.
