We all are.

has anyone come up with a solution or do we have to wait for a fix?

No solutions yet or fixes. I don't even think G4TW knows about it yet.

For those whose mods conflict with the game try and download this program called "ModConflictDetector." It's from ModTheSims and it basically does a scan of your mods folder and see what's wrong. On the bottom left corner of the program it has a key to show which color means what. Try and give it a go.

They have to know, though, ( I believe I've seen admins mention the "infinite loading screen" problem in their play-testing).

If they knew then it wouldn't make sense to release the crack if it doesn't work.

I tested the update myself on a clean G4TW full game up to City Living, and I can confirm that:
- no freezing at the loading screen;
- no giberrish language;
- kept all my mods and saved games;
- I was able to play smoothly without bugs or freezes or crashes.



My G4TW Sims 4 is stuck on the loading screen as i was trying to go to a household and I can't quit, exit or reinstall the game while it is like this. I can normally make a family but when I try to move in, the game stuck on loading screen. I have no CC, start a whole new game, no saves, anything and I don't know what seems to be the problem. Please help me!

That's weird. This probably means there's a problem with the game files itself.

What version of The Sims 4 were you playing before updating? 
Were you using the G4TW/Skidrow/ZLOrigin version, etc before this happened?
Where did you download the new update from?

I just followed the instruction on the Discord channel and Tarac's guide as well. Too bad it requires you to be connected to the internet though and ZClient is a bit finicky.

Anyway, after playing a with the ZLOrigin TS4 version for a while, here's what I did to make the new G4TW update work:
1. I applied the crack files by Tarac for the ZLOrigin TS4 from here.
2. I tried running the game without ZLOrigin and ZClient to see if it works (it did).
3. Then I downloaded the G4TW update and extracted the zip to a folder.
4. After that I transferred the extracted files to my Sims 4 game folder, replacing the existing files and ran TS4.exe. I didn't encounter any issues; no eternal loading screens or anything..

Note: My 'The Sims 4' game folder was installed on C:\Games the entire time.

Note2: Move your 'The Sims 4' folder from C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Electronic Arts before trying this to another location to avoid any conflicts or issues.
