Hey, my game still crashes when I try to run the game via steam, and I cant even create a sim, It doesn't give me an error code.

Processor:    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor                3.80 GHz

Installed RAM :   32.0 GB

Graphics card: GeForce RTX 3070 TI

updated all my drivers and that still did not fix my issue

  • Hi 27b05828df2c874b and icemanxman8 ,

    I saw this fix over on the Steam community forums and it seems to work for most people whose game is crashing:

    1. Go to where you installed the game. If you don't know for certain, right click your game on steam, go to local files, then click on browse.
    2. Copy the folders :
    UserData
    UserData2
    UserData3
    UserData4
    UserData5
    UserData6
    Userdata7
    UserData8
    3. go to C: > Users > YOUR USERNAME> saved games > Electronic Arts > The Sims 25
    4. Paste the folders in here.

    Hope it works for you!

    yeah, I tried that, I didn't have a folder for Electronic Arts in my saved games folder. so I created it and made and copied and pasted 

    UserData
    UserData2
    UserData3
    UserData4
    UserData5
    UserData6
    Userdata7
    UserData8

    into a C: > Users > YOUR USERNAME> saved games > Electronic Arts > The Sims 25. but no go. still crashes.

    my map is empty so I assume it can't find that data but I don't know why. 

  • thanks for all the replies, after trying for two days straight after getting home from work and just giving up. I just went to see if Sims 2 would even run (it didn't, it crashed as soon as I tried). I refunded both games, I will wait to see if EA will fix the issues with the next few updates later down the road :(
