Re: The Sims 4 - getting stuck on building screen while placing lots
@JanaKrchovova Apologies for the delay. It seems that we're on different schedules. :-/
Thanks for answering those questions! Unfortunately, there have been a lot of lag / crash issues reported with the game since the patch for and release of For Rent. It does not seem to be consistent for everyone though. For example, I added a Gallery lot to 4 Olde Mill Lane with no problem. I tested the Ro Kaya Rockside lot as well and had no issue with it. I sort of wonder if the issue may be related to the lot itself. You may want to test placing a few different lots to see if some work but others do not. If you are still having trouble, regardless which lot you place, please try these steps.
- Create a new save for testing. This step is optional but it will prevent any inadvertent changes to your save while Mods are out.
- If we can get your game working properly, you can add the Mods back and see if there are any changes
- It's probably not mod-related but we need to rule that out completely
- Move the Mods folder out (if needed). Delete that localthumbcache file again. Run a game repair.
- If you're not sure how to do this, go to the EA app, click on the TS4 game, click on Manage, then click repair
- Let the repair run for all your packs
- Launch the game. Load the save you want to test. Click the "4 Olde Mill Lane" lot in HonB (I had to evict poor Cecilia Kang first in my game). Click the Build icon in the lower right corner of your window (looks like a hammer and wrench). Once in Build mode, bulldoze the lot and the terrain. Then try placing the Gallery lot.
- You may want to save the Gallery lot to your Library first and then place it
- Some users have reported that the Bulldoze tool causes crashing, so you may need to manually remove all the Build items (what a pain in the butt!)
Please come back and update if these steps worked or not.
