Re: Sims 4 "Not Responding"

★★★ Newbie

Having the same exact issue, but the problem is i've already done such a huge work on building houses on there including CC so i'm scared to remove it because i think none of my builds will stay in the game after i run it as an administrator and repair it. Am i right? Could that happen?

 

p.s. 

Can i just run the game as an administrator and repair it without having to cut and paste my CC somewhere else? And is that in any way a better solution?

 

Basically, just want to know that when and if i do this, is it possible my whole game stays the same, with no changes, including what's inside her?

 

Thanks in advance Standard smile))))

Hi @LovelySimmer222 

 

it depends on the cc you have. There's outdated cc that can cause issues so maybe you have something that others don't have which makes your game not load

 

Only way to be sure it's not your cc is if you test the game without it and see if it then loads.

 

If it does, you need to weed through your cc and find the guilty party that is causing the issue

 

 

Use the 50/50 method: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content

Hi @tazzy_boi13 

 

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
