In Build mode or create Sims when trying to save after it crashes

Hi

I have all expansions and stuff packs installed, not any CC or Mods, everything seems fine, untill I try to build or make new sim. Crashes all the time I try to save, even if I go in Edit town mode and after trying to safe. Couldn't find any help, but notice this happen when I install Supernatural. So do please help, cause my Sims are stuck in a small house, wich I try to uppgrade. One more thing-custom music does not work, why? Thanks in advance

    I'm in the summer, just after it was Leisure day. Will try to fix with the step described, but honestly, why do I have to do such things? The game should work fine, without cheatsenabled.

  • I tryied to do the steps above, but still crashes when I save, Still need help

  • I have the temporary files which builds every time sims crashes, but I cant post them here. Where could I do that? they are the :

    xcpt date.txt

    xcpt date.mdmp

    criptError date.xml

    I got the mods Mastercontroler, Errortrap and Overwatch, no CC, just store bought, Playing in Barnacle Bay. Create sim works fine in edit town, even putting lots and save in edit town also works, the only problem is when I try to build, and even if I not save direct after building, still crashes.

    Did you turn off all the weather effects ? Is it raining ?

    And yes, you're right, it's a problem with the game. EA is aware of the issue and is trying to reproduce. The more info we give them, the easier for them to fix it.

    Are your mods updated ?

    Try the bulldozing trick posted in the link I posted above. It might be a while until they fix.

    But I cant export my family, it says they have to be in humanform in order to export. I have a ghost woman with child ghost, genie, with child genie, human, fairy child and witch child, they are totaly supernaturals and I'm guesing the game does not like the ghosts. But I created in Cas a ghost woman, and I could save her to bin, there are not werevolfs in my family, but cant export. What should I do? I so want these supernaturals ☹️

    Can you try to export if you get rid of the ghosts (just for testing purposes). Make a backup of your game and try evicting the ghosts and then export the household.

    Just to narrow down if it's all SNs or just the ghosts.

    I did manage to export it, in the night in edit town I split the household, save them separatly, and after I even manage to save all, why, I cant figure, but it worked. I even made in built mode another house and could save it. Is just that particular house, wich dont want to save.
