Game freezing or/and crashing

First time playing the sims in awhile. Went and spent $40 on some new packs. Now whenever I fire up the game, it always crashes or freezes. I'm assuming it's a bug. It does this even when on the main menu sometimes. But it's completely unplayable. I'm sure others experience it. Seems to be a common thing. Any word on a fix? Has EA even knowledge it?

    This has happened to me as well after Cottage Living but I'm on PC. I started a new save with one household and it was still occurring. I did a full reinstall and deleted the cache in the save file folder with the help of a guide from Carl Sims site. I was mainly just deleting the localthumbcache before. I was able to play a full week without freezing but I will continue to test. I had about 6 script mods in my folder but when I played without mods It worked. I've been playing with 3 script mods without issues so far.
  • And we are back to this non sense. The issue seemed to go away for bit. I started playing again after a couple months. Worked fine until the update. Now anytime I try to place something from the gallery, it crashes. UGH EA is so frustrating. I own damn near every pack or else I'd just delete this game and move on.

    Mine was working fine until the November update now I can't load any of my households. I have spent too much money on this game for it to just not work and it falls on deaf ears. Please fix....soon

    Sorry yous both been experiencing this, Is your game and console up to date ?, have you tried using the rebuild database option it's deletes any corruption ?


    How do I do the rebuild database? I am desperate at this moment I would try anything.
