Yea I'm thinking about starting a new save. The old saves may be permanently corrupted and always have some degree of crashing.

Definitely give that a go. I even downloaded a bunch of my favourite lots from the gallery and I haven’t even experienced any crashes yet. Test your new save and report back if you’re still having crashes. Just make sure you don’t download or create too many households in your new save.

That's the problem. EA should be making sure the game is capable of handling whatever we throw at it. If we want to have hundreds of Sims, the game should be able to handle it, especially considering what modern games nowadays can handle in terms of graphics and everything going on at once.

Also, I have noticed lately before the recent patch was released that when Sims watch movies, the progress circle doesn't budge.

@Ace150 It's not looking good. Started up my new save, messed around in buildmode for 20 minutes and the game crashed while I was scrolling through my library looking for a household to go on a jungle adventure. The screen blacked out then the error code.

@adamclark83 I see no point if I can't build up the worlds and rotate between households. I never have more than 5 played households at a time with under 80 sims in the world.

It does look like an autosave issue. My game is crashing while I'm not doing anything. It crashed on a world map and it crashed scrolling through my library. This is a new save and I have not touched the world besides adding a couple of community lots and redoing 2 apartments.

@adamclark83 I absolutely agree. This game has a huge number of bugs that I’ve noticed, there’s too many too name. Not being able to play with more households does sour the experience too. It’s amazing how this is the only game that crashes so frequently out of all the other games that I’ve played. Seriously, the crash reports on my PS4 are full of Sims 4 reports. Honestly though, the crashing has stopped so far since I started a new save with limited households. It’s not ideal but all we can do is stop buying more packs until they fix this mess but that’s not gonna happen because the masses will continue buying more. Complaining to them directly is not doing a whole lot and they don’t have any incentive to fix this game. At least PC has mod support and CC but console plebs are stuck with the option to buy overpriced and underwhelming packs. I heard they bring in more revenue from console players which doesn’t surprise me one bit.

Hi sorry to dump this here, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to create a topic on this forum (am I dumb)

Anyway reason for this post is to see if anyone else is having the same problem I am, since the last update the right stick on the ps4 controller doesnt work in Create-A-Sim so I cant zoom or rotate my sim, when I press the left stick to bring up the controller layout the right stick doesnt even have anything mapped to it

Even stranger if I am in game and go to edit a live sim then it works fine, its only when creating a new one, has anyone else had this issue, and if so any solution thanks

One of the reasons you cannot, yet, make posts of your own is that you're too new. You have to earn so many points by participating before you can make posts on your own. I gave you an awesome to help boost your points. As for your console problems, I'm very sorry I cannot help you with that. I don't play or even own a console.

I feel as though my game is borderline unplayable now. I have Sims that will freeze up as if waiting for some invisible task to complete. Tasks drop from their queues all the time.

NAPs have too much power, they should not override my commands if autonomy is set to be off I have them selected but it does!

I have Sims waking up in the middle of the night to go harvest the crops in the garden or wake up to do a push up.

The lag oh my gosh the lag!

Anyways anyways..... In trying to remain positive and happy but it's very hard lately. I just want the game I paid a lot of money for work the way it is intended to. That's all.

Speaking of NAPs. I spent $40 on a pack I cannot use because of this feature which is a major feature of the pack itself. How can they mess this up this bad? I foolishly re downloaded the pack thinking they fixed it and NOPE. Now I have to re download all packs onto my console.

The lag is bad... really bad. It’s not playable at all. Why do we waste our time with such a bad game? I suffer regret from purchasing these packs. I’d have a lot more money if I didn’t.

@iamoz96 Awww another console gamer feels my pain. I really don't regret buying the games cause I got lots of joy out of them but that being said they really need to crack down on these bugs and also if the modders can do it why can't they?

Bug fixes > New DLC.

I was hoping the patch they released before Journey to Batuu was going to be slightly more substantial than it turned out to be. I swear if I find any more future cubes in my sims inventory I'm going to scream.

Why doesn't EA put out a disclaimer for all players? Something like this:

"To all players, for optimal performance of this game please abide by the following:

1. Have as few Sims as possible.
2. Avoid building highly detailed lots. Keep it plainly simple.
3. Try to avoid using objects from numerous different packs in your builds.

The console port was originally made for PS3/XBOX360 but we ran out of time. No changes were made to improve performance for release on new consoles."
