So, after being unable to play since the HSY patch last year until January (only after I deleted my entire game and 200 Sims and started from scratch) it was working fine until this week's update. Now, this buggiest of all the buggy, buggy updates has caused me to start crashing again. It used to be build/CAS/travel but today it was totally random at the Blue Velvet at a social gathering, twice in 10 minutes. There was an unrelated club gathering with Partihaus there too but my Sim isn't in that club. She was there with the maximum number of friends she could travel with and I'd just renovated the Blue Velvet. I'd added a food stall, the one with falafel and kebabs and it was staffed. The Blue Velvet was busy and there was a DJ playing as I've added a DJ booth.
I'm on Xbox Series S so can't share saves but from the sheer volume of console players affected on both this thread and the console controller feedback thread, I'm sure that we've given a lot of valuable and detailed information to help fix the problem.
Edit: So I've tried a few different travel/social activities today to see what caused crashing. It crashed at Salty Paws Saloon with a small group, twice. It then crashed while visiting Discotheque Pan Europa alone. It hadn't been crashing on the home lot until today after my game installed a new SDX, it crashed when selecting Change Outfit on my Sim when she got home from work. The screen just shaded out, I attach an image.
So gameplay is now really difficult and I switched to building a new lot instead which didn't crash but was horrible to use because of these ridiculous and illogical changes to controls and build mode which made me actually feel unwell because it's so unpleasant. This all needs to be addressed immediately. We've paid a lot of money for this and I'm furious someone has broken it.
