Game crashes at start - Error - Simulation failed: EndDeserialize(PropManager)
I have the issue that the simmulation fails with the error: Prop manager fails

I can start a new game and also go back 2 to 3 hours in my current city and restart that "older" version.
But everytime I restart that older version I continue to play and once I save the game again and try to load it again the simmulation fails.
So I can launch the old version, but for whatever reason as soon as I build something new, save it again and then want to start that newer version that simulation fails.
I tried rebuilding everything that was lost and the error occurs. And I even tried not using any prop / building that I used before, because I thought perhaps some building was corrupted, but the error still occurs even if I build something completly new.
And even when I only load that "old version" up, play in it for 2min and save it again. Then that new version won't launch, even though nothing is different from that "old version".

Game Version

Download Compatibility Report from the Workshop, then run your game. That will produce a report identifying any mod incompatibilities and the replacement mod, if any. That can be super helpful!

Simulation failed: EndDeserialize(PropManager) is usually caused by a combination of Prop Anarchy and Extended Managers Library. Make sure you have the updated versions of those mods, and if that doesn't help, I recommend unsubscribing both and getting Prop Control instead.

Thank you, I’ll try that

basically the cause of this issue is the fact this game sucks and rarely works with mods, and the updates always break the mods, the solution is that this game and it's lazy greedy devs will expect you to go through all your mods one by one and figure out which one is causing the issue, and if it happens again after that, to bad! they don't care so you'll have to do that over and over whenever these money hungry asses want to get some more money by releasing 3-4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dlcs that community creators actually made and even more community creators can easily make, i hope that solves the problem.

Did all of this and still get the same error. the only way to correct this is to start a new game, which is hours wasted on the saved game. ANy other help would be appreciated. TIA

I spotted algernon released a new mod which may help to remove Extended Managers Library and Prop Anarchy. Note that the mod is still in testing so make sure to read the description carefully.
