my game crashes when i use CAS

i have a GUA1200BST cyberpower PC and every time i use CAS it crashes after a minute or so of using it. i have no mods and 3 add-ons Christmas stuff ,get to work, and city living. what happens is i will start making a sim and shortly thereafter the game will freeze and i can only move the mouse but nothing else happens.

    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)
    • 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.

    Hi @Catthug

    that looks fine.

    Did it ever work for you or did you always have this crashing issues ? Do you have any lastcrash.txt files in your doc folder ?

    it use to work and i have no last crash files, probably because every time this happens i have to force shut down my computer because i can't even exit the game to do it right.
