Known Issues
Corrupted save files
In rare cases, save files can become corrupted, causing players to get stuck on the loading screen when trying to load them.
We are sorry about these issues, and we are investigating them to prevent this from happening in the future.
You can back up your saves from time to time by duplicating them in the Load Game menu.
You can also save your household and lots to the library to keep a backup and use them in future save files.
We have created a page that may help you fix your save file yourself in some cases: paralives.com/news/fix-save-files.
Crashes and freezes
We are investigating and optimizing the game to reduce crashes and freezes.
Please make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements, as crashes can often happen otherwise.
Please read our previous Known Issues posts and earlier patch notes for more known issues.
We are aware of various other issues and will continue working on them in the coming weeks and months.
A huge thank you for your feedback reports. They are incredibly helpful!
