Newcreast freezes when placing lots?
I never had this issue until Installed Get Famous, when I try to place a lot it freezes my game and I have to exit out of the game via ctrl alt delete, I moved my mod folder completely out of my game...
Forum Discussion
@graceymanors Sorry for your troubles. You said that you removed the Mods folder, which is good for troubleshooting this issue. Since your Mods folder has no mods in it now, please also try the following:
- Delete the localthumbnailcache.package file in your 'The Sims 4' folder and restart the game.
- Then run a game repair [ Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game ]. After that, please see if the issue has stopped.
Can I also ask... What type of lots are these that are not placing well? Are they lots that came with the game (EA designed lots) or lots that you downloaded from the gallery?
Lots I downloaded from the gallery, there's 4 lots in particular that I can't place.
And I placed them just the other day when I was playing them.I tried both in world edit mode and build mode.And in different worlds.
@graceymanors Did you do the repair and removal of the cache file along with the other instructions in the order I recommended yet? Also, it would probably be good to mention that right before Get Famous was released there was a huge patch that did break a lot of mods & cc. Since you noticed this issue around that time it's possible that this is part of your issue. Just removing the mods folder may not have been enough to fully remove any effects, which is why I also recommended removing that particular cache file and then running the game repair. It may also be possible that these particular lots from the gallery became broken with the patch also, (there may be content in them that was effected). But if you remove that cache file and run the repair in the manner I mentioned in my other post that is an initial troubleshooting step.
I literally just bought Get Famous last night, so I haven't had the pack for a while.
I just now tried what you suggested, its a no go unfortunately.
@graceymanors Get famous was not the part that broke a lot of Mods, it was the patch right before Get Famous was released. So both were released around the same time. Sorry if I was unclear, but that's what I meant.
Can you please try placing those lots in a new, fresh game save and see if the issue is present then?
Could you give me the names of the gallery items your are having issues with placing and the specific lots you are having issues with placing them in? This way I could try downloading them from the gallery test in my game.
Can I also clarify that you no longer have any mods or cc in the game, correct?
