Re: Build mode freezes completely...what do I do?/sims 4

Do you have any mods or custom content (CC) in your game? Could you test without?

Could you post a DxDiag? This gives us a bit more information into your system and what is going on.
Feel free to delete any personal information like the 'machine name'. You can attach the DxDiag to your next reply in this post.

    Well first try taking out the entire mods folder, just place it on your desktop and test the game without.

    I took out all my mods and the game worked normally but when i placed them back it was buffering again in buildmode.. does this mean we can't play with mods anymore????

    add them back in a few at a time.. if it works with some..keep those, then add a little more. I sort mine by date.. I begin adding those that have the earliest date.. then once I get to the latest date I'll add those a little at a time.. then I'll start figuring out what messed it up. I wish McCommand would work but I think it messes up some games.. my laptop works with MC command but my desk top does not for now. There also could be mods incompatible with it.

    Hi,

    Thanks @chey1960. @MargotBrijs could you try that suggestion? If it hasn't helped please open a new thread and share what steps you've tried so far. I'll close this necro'd thread in the mean time.
