I did a fresh start. Which worked for about 20 minutes and then started having issues.
No error code, it would just stop working. Like, the build tools would make noises when you tried to use them or place objects but it wouldn’t do anything. When I tried to save it would just bring up the saving screen and stay like that until I force stopped the game using task manager. I reached out to EA and they suggested all the things I’d already tried and said they’d have their team look into it to see if there were any bugs/issues on their end. Now, on my “fresh start” version, it will load the game but crash while trying to load a new game or resume play.

I’ve added sims as an exception but I’ll try adding the EA app!

I went ahead and uninstalled the antivirus and tried to run it. It still crashes after hitting resume on the title screen. So, that rules that out 😕
I have another desktop I can do a fresh start on just for poops and giggles but I just don’t know what it could possibly be on my end at this point.

Please describe the patch or change you made. The patch from 1/16/23
Objects and furniture disappear or don't even get grabbed from the catalog. The first item places fine but then any item after that totally disappears and cannot be placed without having to rush and hope it places right.

I've had this issue on and off for years. Typically it flares up when I have moveobjects on. If it's happening, I usually have to go in and out of build mode or every object. Or restart the game and not turn on moveobjects until I have most things where I want them.
It's still something that shouldn't be happening...but I don't have high hopes EA will fix it unfortunately.

I had this happen in a save before the Jan 16/24 update. Do you have it happen if you try a new save? I only had the issue in one save and I heard since that it may be a sign of corruption for that save. I know in my case it only happened in that one save and when I moved that household and their home to a different save the problem stopped.
Make sure you close your game before trying a different save as some corruption can spread between saves if you don't do that.
Good luck!
