PS4 blue screens after patch and DLC on 6/5

★★★★★ Novice

The game is unplayable and will blue screen every 20 minutes of gameplay.

 

The symptoms are as follows:

 

  1. Select an interactive item (laptop for example)
  2. No interaction options appear
  3. The game freezes on in game time (6:15p.m) for example
  4. The game will then show the interaction options about 2 min later 
  5. Game time catches up for the time that it would have elapses to (6:36p.m.)
  6. The game then goes back to the frozen time 6:15p.m.
  7. Game locks up and blue screens to a PS4 blue screen message

This has happened everytime since I installed the new DLC. The game is unplayable. Please fix this.

I have the same problem.

 

Playing on ps4 with all packs installed (including eco). Everything seems to work but after clicking on the in-game computer time freezes but the game seems to continue running (sims still moving arms while playing instruments, stars are moving etc.)

 

After about 1 or 2 minutes (real time) the game crashes and ps4 reports an CE-34878-0 error and ends the game.

 

I installed ECO pack together with the june patch so I cannot decice which of them introduced the problem.

 

Please help,

thanks

@niander  I don't understand what You mean, Sorry. Can You please elaborate? I haven't at this point made/ started a new Family/ saved Game. I moved an old existing family, into the neighbourhood. But I'm willing to try some experimenting, if You can give me some guidelines.

The video wouldn't attach so here's a google drive version of the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VF01e1acUHfGKWas8ikOQc4yaPIRjwBz/view?usp=sharing

(Also the video says it's currently winterfest but the bug still happens not on holidays)

Additional information:

I was able to fix this issue by creating a new save (moving my existing files out). Repairing the game did not work. Once I restored my old save, the issues continued. That being said, I spent an entire year with this save file so I would rather not have to resort to completely playing a new game due to purchasing DLC.
