My Game Keeps Crashing, Still! (A Slight Rant) UPDATE!

Did you also clean out your caches. If you did and still crashing your save might have gotten corrupted. You could try a repair but if all that does work - you might have to go to an earlier save or start a new game.

Game started crashing again, so I removed the last mod I reinstalled, played for a bit and it crashed again. Then I removed the mod I'd installed right before the last one. Game still crashes. What gives?

As far as I can perceive there is nothing in this latest patch that I needed, personally, yet it's making it nearly impossible for me to play my game! I have just decided (as I was about to ask for some advice) that I will do a 'repair game' and see what happens. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter what's coming along in the future, as I won't be able to play. :open_mouth:

Are you taking pictures with the tripod that came with Moschino? This will crash the game.

In what way does the game crash for you? In my game I have an issue with all sims on a lot freezing in place and I have to save and exit to unfreeze them. This has only been happening since the latest patch for me. Like you all my mods are up to date.

Are you sure none of those mods conflict with each other?

Have you tried not putting in any mods and see if it crashes?

Is this a recent thing? Just asking because I've played a ton with the tripod and the photo career. I have not crashed. Haven't had a chance to play in the last week to 10 days though.

It’s been a thing since release. I think it’s caused by going through poses too fast?

No. In fact the only picture-taking that goes on in my game, is when the Paparazzi snap away and my Sim via RTF goes to a photoshoot.

I attempt to save and not only does it freeze, but I get the popup that the game is no longer responding and Windows asks if I want to shut it down. It's an actual crash.

Yes. I had all five mods working splendidly until the latest patch hit. Sacrificial even stated that his mods work with MCCC and that we could go ahead and add back one or more of his mods to test them, leaving MCCC in place. I only have his RTF mod.

Yes. I played without my Mods folder right after I patched, waiting for word on what the patch did to the game.

Thank you for your many insights. Since this game is my main source of relaxation, which I really, really need in these 'trying' times, I'm even being excluded from that. I can actually feel the tension in myself. :open_mouth:

I recently did a repair game. I also threw out my saves folder, since I presumed that it was corrupted. I realized, too, that I had repaired without removing my Mods folder. So, I reinstalled all of my mods again. As it happens the Meaningful Stories mod was also recently updated. Now, I have a problem of another sort. Some of my Sims, even as I was creating them in CAS, have a rather garish red and white about their entire bodies. I'll try to snap photos so all can see. It's not the multi-colored Sims that suggests a vid card failure, but looks more intentional. One of the girls even has a red question mark on the front of her jacket. I had an ah-ha moment upon awaking today. In the one mod I use, the emotion colors used are changed, but I believe we can also set them to how we want them. For instance, 'happy' is now a translucent white. I was able to bring the family back into CAS and discovered that in one instance of changing out the clothing, one of the two girls affected went back to normal. Sadly, only one of them. The only cc I have is Khitsule's Pointy Ears. I don't deal with skins or the like, and I no longer have any cc clothing, as those haven't been updated in ages. My next fix, after I take a photo or two to show you, will be to remove that part of the mod which has the colors to see if that does the trick. If so, I shall be certain to reach out to roBurky and let them know this is new, as it's the first time I've had this extraordinary problem. :open_mouth:

This is totally mind boggling - I do hope you get it sorted and figured out. I am really at a total loss as to what could be happening to your game.

@Writin_Reg, me, too!

I have a couple of photos to share!

Another player gave me a link to follow. Seems a few of us are having this particular problem. It's not mod-related, according to this person. I clicked on Me Too and posted my picture. Crinrit is on the case. (And I know I've spelled that wrong) :open_mouth:
