Game crashes with all updated mods - Mac - Big Sur last version

@bbescapist

There are several modders I know of off-hand that insist of charging for mods that are total garbage. Turbodriver isn't one of them though. His stuff is usually very good.

Personally, if someone insists on charging for a mod and won't release it to the public, I NEVER use them. I'm more likely to trust them if they put it out for free. No ulterior motives there.

Scripts ARE far more likely to cause crashes as they mess with the core programming of the game. Personally all my dozen mods I've made are all tuning file mods and aren't very likely to even cause LE's, let alone crashes.

It would help to organize the mods in your mods folder by type. Keep CC in one place as they rarely cause LE's or crashes. Keep tuning and script mods in another location as they almost ALWAYS cause problems in updates.

If its been a while since you went through them, I would remove ALL your mods (not CC), and go through each one, one-by-one. Check with that website I posted to see if any are known for problems.

If you have a mod that isn't showing as having been updated in a while, it may have been abandoned, and I'd remove it for good. Find a replacement. Good thing about Sims 4 modders, there are MANY and most things have several different mods doing the same thing. A lot of the better ones are usually picked up by someone else and may be updated somewhere else. Ask about those in that forum I posted. Someone will answer.

The problem with LE's is most of the time, it doesn't tell you what mod is breaking. Just what broke. It's like trying to figure out who set a fire by looking at the smoke rising. Can't be done. It can point you in the right direction though. Since the LE mainly references Vacuums it's likely to be a mod that changes that... but could be a lot of things.

If you have a bad mod, you'll just have to do without it.  It's sad but it happens. There was a mod called "San MyShuno: Become Human" that I REALLY liked. But it was abandoned by the author. I offered to take over support of the mod, but she declined and was never heard from again. I had to remove it and haven't used it since. Bummer.
