A patch, a patch, a patch........I hope....

I have a save from 2017 that's laggy but I tried a new game and it's so smooth. I wish my old file worked.
I might save it to the cloud and download it and see if that'll help but I doubt it.

I won't be playing TS4 until after the fix. I mean, telling players to mute the game so it won't crash as often, maybe? Nah. Guess my partner gets extra time playing AC:V.

Nick says sound cutting out is one of the reasons the game is crashing. The emergency patch is expected next week.

At risk of sounding like Kim Kardashian when she lost her diamond earring in the ocean, I’m kinda miffed about this.

I mean they’re telling us that, by the company’s own admission, that console players have a somewhat inconvenient workaround that maybe/probably/potentially not work for us? On launch day for the brand new EP people already preordered, right before a weekend??

I mean, hopefully now maybe now that they narrowed down the trouble, they’ll pull a fast one and get the patch out before the day’s over, but really?!

There are people on YouTube doing deep dives, new builds and playing with the content with sound and with minimal glitching, while people can barely get into the save files they’ve already established. Like... can they share their good fortune with the class here?

Like, console players hardly get to take advantage of sales on all of these packs unless they’ve got saintly patience, and a large chunk of us are locked out. I wouldn’t be surprised if the vast majority have shelled out at least $100+ in content alone, and that’s a conservative estimate.

I’m lucky in that I didn’t preorder Snowy Escape yet, but I was very close to doing so.

I know, I know.

Has anyone on PS4 tried if the "turn the sound off" solution works?

In my country, the EP comes out past dinner time so I will buy it and play tomorrow. I will probably wait to start the real gameplay after we get the "fixing" patch (hoping it'll work) since I don't want to play with the sound turned off. But I could probably continue to prepare my new families and a couple of lots I'll need so I was wondering if the volume workaround works or not or if I have to delay also my gameplay preparations...

I only had the sound crash once so I don't know if it works.

Just experienced a new bug (in my game, at least) in build mode, every time I change a wallpaper all the doors on that floor get deleted and random items will end up in the household inventory.

Oops, sorry. That comes of just pressing on Discussions and not going through the Categories choices section! :s

SimGuruNick said that it’s a mixed bag. I think that will probably be the case, especially since I feel like on PC/Mac you’re disabling audio all together, whereas on console, you’re just lowering in game volume. I think you’ll be fine as long as you save often.
