Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Game Crashes after November 2020 Patch

I had an issue as well but my game would crash before it even got to the main menu. I would get the intro screen but as soon as it got to the initial loading screen *poof* game crash. I went to https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/FAQ-Sims-4-Crashes/m-p/3586547 and worked through some of their suggestions and turns out that my in game Origin was causing problems. I turned off my wifi so that I would be in offline mode and my game worked fine! Will update if anything new happens!

@crinrict I tried re-adding one of the save files and it didn't crash.

Hi, 
I'm having the exact same issue. My game suddenly shuts down after playing for several minutes. Initially, I used mods but just in case I removed them all. Tried re-installing en fixing the game afterwards, but it keeps on crashing the same way it did before. 

Attached is my DxDiag and my last crash file. 
I really hope this will be fixed soon. I'm having a little mental breakdown since I already bought Snowy Escape and I was so excited to start playing as soon as possible.

@TheVioletPegsico Try adding all of your saves back then and see if it works. Then put back screenshots/tray/videos and other personal stuff you have added.

Leave mods out. You don't need to put any cache files back.

If it works without mods, it's probably one of the mods and you need to find which one. There's a list linked in the first post.

 

@amberspitaels LastCrash didn't upload. You need to create a rar file or c/p the content to a post. Also: Is this happening on a specific existing save or also on a new one ?

Good Luck

@CrowlingLore There's some Error with the Origin Webhelper in your DxDiag. Can you try turning that off (in Origin options) or reinstall Origin.

Thank you for providing the other info.

 

@LahLahX Thank you. Loosing a bit track here so, when does your game crash ? Only certain saves or all ?

Good Luck

@mariiicarmen1 Crashes can have so many reasons and not everyone is having the same problem so it's very important to test without custom content/mods to make sure that is not the issue.

 

@LahLahX Is that a pre-patch save ? If so, could you test if it also happens on a new one. There might be an issue related to sentiments on existing saves so it would be good to have that info.

Good Luck
