Okay! So, since the last patch I have been experiencing an issue that never fails to happen under this circumstance:  I'm modifying a household in CAS (ex: adding cc skin details on them) and then g...

@SimzSlayerYt To be sure, did you just not use any cc on the Sims or did you move your mods folder to the desktop, deleted Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache and then tried on the new save ?

So after doing the 50/50s I have deleted my localthumbcache each time I was removing or adding mods and restarting the game. On the new save with no cc I did not use CC on the sims I tried to modify and then go in game. It happens both with and without cc

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Repair the game
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. Be aware that your claimed event rewards will also be gone for the time being but you will get them back with your other things.
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

      Hi I have tried this 2 times. With each steps being respected and created a 2 new saves and deleting localthumbcache while going in and out of game when it crashes. 

      Whilst having no mods and new save : placing lots from the gallery

      - 1 lot out of 3 is either freezing the game or crashing it 

      - and entering like the calientes for exemple doesn't crash my game but if I go in cas and I replace them with a different version of them from the gallery (2 different versions for each game repair I did) it crashes when I try to enter live mode and play.

      - Also when I manage to play with a household, if I like visit another lot (premade in the new saves or placed from gallery, happened in both instances) 1 time out of 5 the game crashes.

      I'm running with directx9.

        @SimzSlayerYt That sounds like a lot. There are lot in the gallery that crash the game but this seems excessive,
