How To Tranfer Sims 4 Game Save From Pcto Mac

Problem

I get the the following error message when trying to load a save game: The saved game you are attempting to load was saved with a newer version of The Sims 4 than is currently installed. Please update in order to safely load this saved game.
I get the following error message when I trying to save a game.
‘The game failed to save. Error Code: 0.
In Build mode I can build exactly one thing at the time.

Cause

Seems to be a conflict/corruption with the current save games

Solution

If you just have save error 0 you can try if you can save by using save as and save to a new name. If you have have three issues, follow instructions below:

Close the game
Go to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/cache
Delete all the cache files.
Move your saves folder to your desktop
Start the game to create a new saves folder
Your game should now be back in working order but your existing save games are also gone.
Try to put each save game from the folder on your desktop into the new one (one at the time) and see if any of them still work. The one with the name slot001 is the auto save and is most probably the culprit since they tend to corrupt when the game crashes.
The game keeps the last few saves you make. Here’s instructions how to recover them: How do I restore a backup ?
If not, I’m afraid that you will need to start over.

How to prevent

This issue is most often caused by a corrupt auto-save (slot_00000001). Because of this, I recommend to not rely on it. First thing you do after starting a new game is save it under a new name so it’s saved to another slot. Save on a regular basis. Use save as and not save to have multiple saves you can go back to.

Also backup your saves folder after every play session to an external drive or just a different space on your hard drive.

Before you begin

To prepare for a smooth migration:

Make sure that Windows is up to date. Migration Assistant works with Windows 7 and later.
Make sure that you know the name and password of an administrator account on your PC.
Connect your Mac and PC to the same network, such as your home Wi-Fi network. Or connect an Ethernet cable between the ports on your Mac and PC to create a direct network connection. Some Mac models require an Ethernet adapter, such as the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
If you're using Microsoft OneDrive on your PC, follow Microsoft's instructions for uninstalling OneDrive before continuing. You can reinstall OneDrive after migration is complete.

Then use the check disk (chkdsk) utility on your PC to make sure that your Windows hard drive doesn’t have any issues:

Right-click the Start button, then click Run.
Type cmd and press Enter. Command Prompt opens.
At the prompt, type chkdsk and press Enter.
If the utility reports that it found problems, type the following, where drive is the letter that represents your Windows startup disk, such as D:
Press Enter.
At the prompt, type Y, then restart your PC.
Repeat this process until the check disk utility reports no issues. If the utility can't fix every issue that it finds, you might need to have your PC serviced. Then migrate your data to your Mac.

Move your data

This section guides you through migration, post-migration, and what to do if the steps don’t work for you.

How to move your information from a PC to your Mac

How To Transfer Sims 4 Game Save From Pcto Mac Os

On your PC, download and install the appropriate Windows Migration Assistant, based on the version of macOS on your Mac:
- Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Big Sur
- Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina
- Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Sierra and High Sierra
- Windows Migration Assistant for OS X El Capitan or earlier
Quit any open Windows apps.
Open Windows Migration Assistant, then click Continue.
Start up your Mac. Setup Assistant automatically opens the first time you turn on your Mac. If you’ve already set up your Mac, open Migration Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
On your Mac, follow the onscreen prompts until you get to the migration pane of the assistant. Select the option to transfer your information “From a Windows PC,” then click Continue.
When prompted, enter an administrator name and password.
Click Continue to close any other open apps.
In the migration window on your Mac, select your PC from the list of available computers. Then wait for the PC to show the same passcode that your Mac shows.
When both computers display the same passcode, click Continue on your PC and Mac.
Your Mac scans the drives on your PC to build a list of information to migrate. When the scan completes, select the information that you want to migrate to your Mac and click Continue. Learn about some of the data that you can transfer.

You can watch the progress and estimated time remaining on both the PC and your Mac. They tell you when migration is complete.

After you move your data

When migration completes, close Windows Migration Assistant on your PC. Then log in to the new user account on your Mac. The first time you log in to a user account migrated from your PC, you’re asked to set a password. You can use the same password that you used on your PC, or create a new password.

After logging in to the user account that you migrated, authorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases. It’s important to authorize before you sync or play content downloaded from the iTunes Store.

If you have issues moving your data

Quit all open apps on your PC, then try migrating your content again. For example, you can press Alt-Tab to choose an open application, then press Alt-F4 to quit it.
If your PC doesn't appear in the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant window on your Mac, make sure the computers are connected to the same network. You can create a network by connecting a single Ethernet cable between your Mac and PC. If that doesn't help, check for firewall software on your PC and turn it off. After migration completes, you can turn firewall software on again.
If Migration Assistant doesn’t open on your PC, turn off any antivirus software on your PC. Then try to open Migration Assistant again. After migration completes. You can turn that software on again.
If you still can't migrate your information successfully, you can use an external drive or file sharing to manually copy important data to your Mac.

Migration Assistant lets you choose the data to move to your Mac. Here’s what moves over for specific apps and data types:
