The household and grounds are maybe corrupt

Dear Community

I have an issue with the household and the grounds in Sims 4.

I have one specific ground where a household lives.


When I try to load in to this household and ground, the game crashes, sometimes with and sometimes without crashlog.

There is not only this ground and household which doesn't work, but this is the one I tested through.

Already tried:

  • Disable mods, remove cache and repair
  • Different household (which works) on the corrupt ground
  • Family of corrupt ground on different ground
  • Restart computer
  • Taking older save

So maybe both the household and also the ground could be corrupt?

I read, that I have to start new (not exactly but similar case), but I wanted to ask if there are other options?

I hope I explained this good enough.

Thanks for you help!

Best Regards,
Fabian

  • Hi dacarbill349​ 

    do you have any LastException too or just LastCrash files ? 

    Can you upload them to google or oneDrive and post the link here ?

    Is it just happening in that particular save game or always on that lot in any save (just for testing it would be good to check out a new save game)

  • Hello crinrict​ 

    Thanks for your reply!

    I have been testing this a bit, unfortunately I only have LastCrash files and not a single LastException.

    I tested also with another save, but this didn't work either, is this what you meant by save game?

    Here's the Link to my Google drive: Link

    I'm sorry for the late reply, I wasn't at home the whole week.

    Best Regards,

    Hi dacarbill349​ 

    could you make the link to the upload public ? Seems you linked your entire google drive which isn't accessible.

    upload the crash logs and then make sure those are public and post the link to those.

    Is the other save a completely different save or a backup from the one you had issues with in the first place ?

  • Hello crinrict​ 

    I made the link public now, i'm sorry about that.

    Here's the Link again: Link

    The other save is a different one, about a week ago, also the same with a save which is 2 weeks ago, so it's not a backup copy.

    Thanks!

    Hello crinrict​ 

    I tried the Clean folder approach and the saves are the problem I suppose.


    With full vanilla game, it works. I tested on the specific ground where I had problems before.

     

    But with the saves folder used it doesn't work. I also tried some of the older saves, but they didn't work either. 

     

    After the crash I couldn't find any LastExceptions or LastCrash Files.

     

    If the save files are corrupt, is there any way to recover from that?

     

    Best Regards,

    Fabian

    Hi dacarbill349​ 

    Is it all families/lots ? You said you only tested a specific one but others are affected. Do you see any pattern who is affected ?

    The one you tested seems to work with another family, do I understand that correctly ?

    I can take a look at your save but I can't squeeze it in before new years. If that's ok, please upload that and DM me the link.

    Hello crinrict​ 

    I can't see any pattern but I will test further for sure and report it if I could see one.

    Yes, other families worked with that but not all and not on all grounds.

    Here's the link to the google drive: link

    Please take your time for that.

    Thank you very much!
