Hello
Since the latest e-patch from 3/6/2023, I have been receiving a particularly unusual Last Exceptions report that I didn't receive before. It usually appears either shortly after I start up the game. If it doesn't, it is usually appearing after either A) I put on or take off charged jewelry, or B) I use an interaction connected with something the charged jewelry is supposed to do (ex. jewelry is supposed to improve romantic interactions, when I perform a romantic interactions, I get a Last Exception).
Using the Better Exceptions mod from TwistedMexi as well as double checking by taking one mod off at a time (again), it doesn't change anything and the Better Exception Report at all times states that it doesn't see a mod as the cause of the issue. What it does say that the cause might be is labeled as "jewelry_tracker". I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this issue or seeing this. Admittedly, the only game issue I've seen since the bug started appearing is live mode and build/buy mode horribly lagging either in character movements or when scrolling across the lot with mouse or keypad. In which, there are times where it starts scrolling to the initial direction I wanted to but doesn't stop until A) It hits an invisible barrier pre-set by the game, or B) mash the opposite direction on the keypad several times until it finally tries to go that way after a few seconds of lag for each following tap. Again, this issue has since only started after the e-patch.
My Sims were trying to get a Starlight Accolade to hit the Actor Milestone of "receive an award", with my Sim having 2 nominations, but the hosting Sim's actions lagged so bad in comparison to the game's timer that would sometimes jump when the game lagged really bad visually, that the timer ended after only 1 award was given within a 3 in-game hour timeframe, which is super unusual from my experience. In fact, the host of the Accolades took 1 hour after the event "started" to even reach the mic and begin the awards.
Whether or not this is linked to the Last Exception, I'm not sure but wouldn't be surprised. However, either way, I thought I should put it on here as a reported bug and repeated last exception that may be linked considering the lagging issue only started after the e-patch and when it was immediately followed by receiving the Last Exception error pertaining to the said "jewelry_tracker".
I do have many mods on my game, but like I said, none of them affected the issues I was seeing nor did Better Exceptions identify any mod as a root cause. I also have every single DLC except for the Dust Kit on my Sims game. However, again, I never had an issue with lagging like this that makes it almost unplayable and can seriously hinder gameplay outside of just the nuisance of the camera going off the rails or Sims taking several minutes to register or make their way to a location you selected.
I have linked the screenshots I've taken of the pop ups I received of the Last Exceptions and Better Exceptions Report for specifics.
Is anyone else having a similar issue since the latest patch? Or does anyone know how to fix it?
