Re: Sims 4 keeps crashing when accessing the Gallery

Hi, apologies for this late response. Yes, my account is the administrator. I did what you said and it did indeed load the gallery without any problems. I did not try to load it up with cc on that account, however. My second issue is now with the game itself and how it keeps corrupting my cc. It will crash at the gallery even with cc that it previously had cleared as fine. Do you happen to have any advice on how I can stop this? Or what I should do? Never in my years of playing the sims has this ever happened to me. The update before this recent one really wrecked everything.

@natsubreeze

But does it happen without CC?

It started to do it now. I took out all of my cc and repaired the game + got rid of webkit but it even then crashed at the gallery. So I did a complete wipe out of the game and also origin. I followed your instructions from your blog. Afterwards the game started up and did not crash at the gallery with both my previous saves and tray folders included (because I thought it was some corrupted files in the tray folder but it turned out not to be true). I started to put cc back my mods folder when it again crashed at the gallery. These same cc files I have were cleared when I played it last. I can't understand what is corrupting them still.

@natsubreeze

When you move out the Mods folder you must also trash the localthumbcache.package file. It really sounds like the issue is CC related for you. Try the 50/50 method to try and figure out what specifically is causing it maybe?

I would like to add that I am able to upload to the gallery, but I cannot open the gallery page.

I am also having this issue. My game crashes every time I open the gallery. I'm on a Mac.

@queensnapdragon @Sylviadj was having a hard crash too that might be related. She reported ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/Info-The-Sims-4-macOS-Catalina-Troubleshooting/m-p/84... ) that resetting the NVRAM (hold down Command+Option+P+R immediately after you hear the Mac's startup chime and keep them held down until you hear the chime again). Can you give this a try and let us know if the crash still happens?
