Hello,

I just did the new patch update for the sims 4 but now I have a problem with my game. I can enter the game and choose a family to play as or even create a new one, but after I have selected the house and pressed the play button, my game crashes in about two minutes of gameplay. I have tried fixing the game and uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing happened.  For the past few days the game worked fine. I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem and if there might be a way to fix it? 

Thanks in advance.

 

I will include the Diaxdiag and the crash report.

Weird. I've had the game about a week or so and played about 40 hours without any issues up until today. Tonight after the patch, however, I've had the game hard freeze on me twice already. Not sure if it's connected or not.

HI @Tonybravo802

 

sounds like some kind of save corruption maybe. 

 

A lot of mods/cc are outdated though.

  

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck
