Many players of the popular life-simulation video game, Sims 4, have recently reported experiencing an error, specifically mentioned as “Sims 4 Game Failed to Load Error Code 102“. This issue usually arises when users attempt to load a saved game, leading not only to interrupted gameplay but also potential loss of progress made in the game.
Upon investigation, it was found that the error is majorly linked to corrupt game data or outdated Sims 4 versions. It also often occurs when there are missing or damaged files in the Sims 4 folder. To resolve the problem, players are advised to use the ‘Repair Game’ option available in the Origin client. This function checks the main game directory for any missing or corrupt files and downloads replacements where necessary. Also, keeping the game up-to-date by frequently checking for updates may help in averting this issue.
In case these quick fixes fail, a unique, but effective method to handle this error is adopting the ’50/50 Method’. This involves the gamer to remove half of their mods, loading the game, and checking if the error persists. If it disappears, one or more of the mods that were removed are the culprit. They can then further levitate the process by removing half of the remaining mods, repeating this process until they identify the one causing the Error Code 102. This issue is proof that while numerous mod options enhance gameplay, there’s a need to stay updated on their developments, as they could occasionally lead to game errors.
