I just lost a save file I’ve cherished for over five years due to Error Code 800, and it’s devastating! I’ve come to terms with that, but I’m trying to move my old Sims and lots into a new save to recover what I can. The problem is, I can’t find the official forum thread discussing this error. Is there any info on whether this issue is being addressed? Also, if anyone else has experienced a similar loss, I could really use some support and would love to hear your stories while I’m dealing with this. It’s a tough time for me!

Oh no, I’m really sorry to hear about your save file! Hopefully, you can migrate to your new save with minimal issues. Is this the thread you’re looking for? https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/please-read-save-game-corruption/5037272
I feel you! I lost my save to a different error (801) after two years. What helped me was saving all my families and builds to the Library so I could rebuild later. I took a break from the game for a month, did a fresh install, and spent a week recreating everything. It’s not perfect, but using MCCC helped restore my relationships. If you’ve got rentals, consider switching them to regular lots or just avoid using apartments in your new save—they’re pretty buggy now. By the way, there’s a thread on the EA forums where many are sharing their experiences with Error Code 800: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/load-error-code-800801/11901236
Thanks for the tips! I’m following your advice and saving everything. It’s frustrating with these features not working as they should. I really hope they fix it soon, too.
Yes, that’s it! Thanks a lot!
