You guys helped me cover so much ground that I'm fairly sure the issue was with either the amount or type of storage.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions & help! I'm giddy that I'll get to see my friends' in-game houses this weekend.
I'm glad we were able to help! Yeah the issue sounded like either an ISP or space issue, and I'm glad it was something you were able to fix yourself. Congrats on getting the game to run!
