Im not saying this will work for everyone but this did work for me

Hope this helps!!!!!

Would you mind clarifying what you mean with these steps? I was able to get the game to work, only the endless loading screen was back when I chose an existing household to play. And so I tried to add the new Game folder and add the fix all over again, and now my game won't start up at all.
I'm just wondering what exactly it was that you did. Do you have both the previous Game folder and the new one at the same time? Did you copy and replace existing files into the Game folder that was already there?

i didn't have the issue with the endless loading screen but i know some people were having the same issue.
When i installed the pack i just renamed my original game folder to game_ like it said in the instructions and copied over the new one.
When i was originally trying to fix this issue i noticed that there was more files in the original game folder.
so i copied everything form the new game folder to the game_ folder and deleted the new one.
after deleting the new one i renamed the old folder to game and when i started up the game it worked fine

To try and fix the endless loading screen you can try to apply the error code 3 fix but i honestly don't know what to do about that

Best of luck to you in trying to fix your game!

Thanks

what exactly did you do? I've reinstalled from scratch (following instructions to a T) and my game just freezes on the loading screen.
