Crashing and Freezing/Bugs and Fixes...

A while back I had submitted problems I've been having with my game crashing or freezing with at first using only 3 mods in my game

RVSN No Snap Curtain Slot OVERRIDE

I went as far as to uninstall the game and the EA App and start over fresh with no mods at all and was still getting the same problems. 

Since then, I made some drastic changes to my PC. Now, mind you... I have a really good gaming PC, so it is not a matter of graphic card issues, space, etc. 

What I did is I found I had an antivirus program that simply was a waste of money, so I switched. I discovered my PC had 5 malware viruses!!! Once they were eliminated my game ran smoother. I also noticed my hard drive space kept decreasing with time and for what little I had on my PC it didn't add up. 

So, I cleaned my PC by doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of Windows 11. By the time I put in all I had once before, I had over half of my hard drive recovered with soooo much room to spare! 

In doing this, all my graphics cards, and important components of my PC were all up to date.

After all is said and done... I have not had one issue with my game... at all! I pray I am not speaking out of turn, but my game has been running smoothly since November when I did this overhaul. 

Now, this is NOT to say our games do not have issues and too I fully realize that bugs can happen due to so many variants to people's PC's and content their computer's hold. With this... it makes it very difficult to know what games or any software will be negatively effected by other software or installations made to the game. 

But for the sake of the EA team... I just wanted to let you know that with all the packs I have installed... I do not have crashing issues, my game is no longer freezing, and my saved games are being saved correctly. 

What I have noticed in the past too is the more we add Custom Content or Mods we add to our games the more stressed our games become and the more bugs I have found. Going Vanilla with these games is leaving me to enjoy my games far more.

To make it easier I have all Packs with the exception of the following below: 

Expansions:

Love Struck

Life and Death

Enchanted by Nature

Adventure Awaits

Kits:

Carnival Streetwear

Bust The Dust

Castle Estates

Goth Galore

Sweet Slumber Party

Comfy Gamer

Secret Sanctuary

Casanova Cave

Refined Livingroom

Business Chic

Sleek Bathroom

Sweet Allure

Golden Years

Essential Glam

Autumn Apparel

Modern Retreat

Garden To Table

Prairie Dreams

All SpongeBob Kits

*** As of Late December, and Early January, I recently added the following:

Kitchen Clutter Kit

Grange Mudroom Kit

Business and Hobbies Expansion

I sincerely hope this will be of some help to EA and to the players of Sims 4.
