Have you updated to the latest version (1.31) -> Fitness Stuff ? If no, update your game and see if the problem is fix.

For infinite loading, remember to rename your Game folder to Game_ before copy + pasting the Parenthood update.

Hi there,



Is it not necessary per se, by users had their issues with the loading to map fix by updating to Parenthood or Fitness. You can disable Fitness after installing the pack (though to be fair there's not much in the pack lol) and can read about that here. I'd also suggest, if you have not done so, to run the game with a fresh sims 4 folder in Documents (simply rename the current one to sims4backup). 


I should probably have asked this first though. Is your problem endless loading or being sent back to the world map?

The issue I have is that I keep on being sent back  to the world map every time I try to play my household. I've updated my game up to Parenthood and followed all the instructions. Tbh it's the second time I've had issues with G4TW TS4 releases. Prior to the Toddler update I had no problems whatsoever with the game. I wonder what happened.

Ageha wrote: Also, like I mentioned before, and also similar to what Tarac had said, if a household is corrupt, there's a rare (super) chance that the corruption will 'spread' through the game. I've actually read on the EA forum about this happening and their solution was to repair the game via Origin, which we obviously can't.

Yes, we can repair the game via ZLOrigin as ZLOrigin is basically the same as Origin. (In ZLOrigin rightclick on the picture of the Sims 4 and select Repair)
Only problem that arises then is that you now have to play the game via ZLOrigin on-line.

So, before you update or repair the game via ZLOrigin, copy your folder Game from your install folder to f.e. your desktop.
After the repair/update rename the folder Game on your desktop to Game Cracked or Game fitness (as in this picture) and place that back into your install folder



Now you can play the game on-line via ZLOrigin with a shortcut Game\Bin\TS4 or TS4_x86.exe and off-line with Game fitness\Bin\TS4 or TS4_x64.exe.

As the versions between pirated and original differ you will get the error "Unable to start game .... update via Origin")
To overcome that problem copy the file Default.ini from Game\Bin to Game fitness\Bin. (Repeat this after every update that results in a new version number).

I suppose that whenever a new DLC is published and you updated via ZLOrigin and a new pirated version becomes available you'll only have to copy the folder Game from the pirated version to Game Cracked (no other folders to be copied).
By adopting this method further pirated updates for new DLC's can be reduced to a new Game folder only (less than 200 MB instead of a couple of GB's)
