Game Crashes (without warning or error message)

Anyone else finding that their game will crash without warning after the new update? 

In the past whenever I've experienced the game crashing it has always come up with some variation of an error message and then I have to close it. This time the game loads generally fine (other than being a bit slow when The Sims 2 loading screen is displayed), it allows me to pick a world and start playing with a household and then without warning the screen will go black and the game shuts down. Then I'm left with the EA App still loaded like nothing had happened. 

This only started happening when I updated the game yesterday.

    Hi! I found it sorted itself out after the update but it wouldn’t let me play with the belladonna cove (I think maybe because that’s where I was playing when it kept happening?). So after the update I followed a tutorial and reset all my worlds back to factory settings and it’s been absolutely fine since! I didn’t use any cc or mods at the time but I’ve seen a couple people say it’s caused by those so if you play with cc or mods maybe try removing them as well? But yeah if not resetting back to factory settings may work! 


    I hope it gets sorted! :)
