Crashing every time traveling.

I was having this issue since shortly after IL came out. The game crashed so frequently exiting build mode, cas or just randomly.. it was mostly unplayable so I started a new game on a new save and no more crashes! I then tried my old saves again and it crashed so I think it’s probably corrupt data. I didn’t want to lose my progress from the old saves so I tried saving them onto a new save instead of overriding the old ones and so far no crashes! Thought I’d share if anyone hasn’t tried yet

That's good to know.

Ugh nevermind, I crashed twice today both times while traveling.

I did something similar. I took my big save file and broke it down into two smaller save files with the goal of keeping family connections together in one file and smaller families without many connections in another - I kept the big file as a backup. I deleted all of my 64x64 lots :( ,changed the max sim count from 150 to 80, then deleted a ton of townies that I don't interact with (although they regenerate) and deleted the homes for the sims that are now in the other save file. I can travel a bit more (and actually travel to active career locations like the hospital and lab, which I haven't been able to do since July). The travel crashing still happens, though not as much. It is stressful though to keep track of the multiple saves and not accidentally save on the wrong file, so I have to pause and think before I save which is annoying (whereas I only had one save to worry about and 2 backup slots that didn't matter how I saved).

The crashing in CAS though is BAD. If i want to make changes to a sim in CAS, I have to do it exactly when I load into the game in manage worlds. If I do it later into the session or after loading into a household it will crash. I've come too close to taking out my poor TV in frustration after updating multiple outfits in the each of the 8 outfit categories for 8 sims, only for it to crash and not save!!!

I did also start a 4th brand new save file which now has 10 active sims and so far so good. It runs smoothly, loads faster but it still crashes after traveling to multiple locations, but no where near as bad as my original big save or even the smaller saves do. Though no one should have to lose the sims they've worked hard on creating and cultivating stories for, to have to start fresh.

With all the money we've spent on this game, we shouldn't have to do so much to try to just be able to get it to play as it should. I haven't heard a peep about them even "working" on fixing these specific crashes...I almost feel like they don't even know what to do to fix it - I just hope they're quiet because they are trying to get it right. I've reported these different crashing issues so many times, between my ps4, twitter and the EA help form, I've lost count.

I do love the gallery and them bringing it over to console and being able to download PC builds, so they get HUGE props for that, I just wish they could put in fix & put a stop the incessant crashing and I will gladly throw my money at them for new content. But until they get their stuff right, I'm not inclined to support them like I want to.
