In-Game Problems/Crashes

Hello all, multiples problems with my game :

- I can't change anymore the length of the sims lives (wich is super annoying for obvious reasons);

- In one of my worlds, two people are in university but when it's time for them to go back, the loading screen will appear and the game will crash;

- In my main world, If i go to modify the city in the menu, and want to evict a fimily of one home, then the game crashes after a brief loading.

12th Gen Intel with Task Manager method 1 core to start and then enable all cores

Mods : using nrass (but not the story progression part)

PS : when i talk about worlds, i'm talking about different saves.

  • @NewYorkCityTM  If you haven't added NRaas Traveler, please do so now, before you try to get your sims home from University.  It's best to have Traveler installed before they leave for a vaction or University term, but it may still help here.  Either way, I'd like to know what other NRaas mods you have installed as well.

    For the issues evicting a household, is the problem only the one household, or are others affected too?  You don't need to test all of them, just a few.  If you have NRaas MasterController installed, does the Evict command, followed by going to Edit Town, cause a crash?  Please test it and let me know.

    For the length of the sims' lives, where are you trying to change it?  This only works while a save is loaded, and it may not work in University; I've never tried it in a vacation world.

    Also, I moved your other post, about World Adventures not loading, to a thread about packs being installed but not showing in the launcher.  It's not something the user can fix; you'll need to contact support.

    It would be helpful to know whether WA was originally present in these saves, because removing it may have corrupted the saves and be causing some or all of the issues.

    I'll do it now.
    I also have NRass :
    - ErrorTrap
    - MasterController
    - " " cheats
    - Overwatch.

    EDIT : since yesterday i added

    - GoHere

    - Register

    - Traveler

    For the eviction, the problems seems to be general (2 households tested). I'll try it right away.

    About sims's lives, the more i played, the more i optimized and personalized their life lengh, but recently i started to figure out that they grew up super quick so i went to the options menu only to find out that i can't change it anymore, it's stuck to default.

    WA was indeed present in my main world, but when it disappeared, it said in an incrusted window that a dlc wasnt there anymore so all the things who used it have been replaced by their equivalent. (not word by word)

    I installed the Travel mod, but i kept crashing when i made them leave university.

    About eviction, i used NRass to evict them and then went to modify city but the family was not in the notepad, so basically i can make them homeless but that's all.

    @NewYorkCityTM  I think the problem may well be that WA disappeared.  Removing an expansion from a save that's used its content can and usually does corrupt that save.  It's not simply a matter of removing items; sims have EP-related data attached to them that now points to nothing and that the game doesn't know how to handle.

    My suggestion here would be to put aside this save until you've sorted out the issue with WA.  If you have a backup save from before WA disappeared, keep that around until WA is present again.  If you don't have such a save, I'm not sure the present copy is fixable.  I'm happy to keep trying, just saying it's not worth doing right now.  Attempting to address the current issues is likely a waste of your time as long as WA is missing; once it's back, we can figure out what's still broken and go from there.

    @puzzlezaddict Yeah I understand but WA disappeared a long time ago and I could play these two worlds without problems.

    By the way, the traveling problem is in a world that don’t had to do with anything WA related.
    I only used WA in my main world but like I told you, when it disappeared, it only told me one time that it was missing and everything will be changed to their equivalent (I only used 6 lights from this dlc so not much to change anyway) and that’s all, I played this world fine without it until the day I changed to a 12th intel gen pc, I will try to downgrade to 1 core will attempting to make the changes to see if it’s a little different or not.

    @NewYorkCityTM  Running the game on only one CPU core is going to make things worse, not better.  Instead, try an MC reset of each town where you're having issues.  If the game crashes or freezes, try a reset of only the the active lot, then in the case of the inactive sims you can't evict, try reseting that lot separately too.  To see the option, click on the ground of the lot and select NRaas > MC.

    Removing an EP from a save that's seen it can and does corrupt the save.  It doesn't always mean that the save will be immediately unplayable; problems can surface much later.  And replacing missing objects has nothing to do with it—this is about data attached to sims, for example visa levels or skills or relationships.  Still, if reinstalling WA isn't an option right now, we can try to fix the save.  I'm just not sure it'll work.
