What happened EA? Last year, this game was amazing:1. Every single household in all worlds played perfectly all the time, first go.2. You could travel as often as you wanted. No problem.3. While playing a household, you could enter Build mode or CAS, make necessary changes and exit back into Live mode. No problem.4. The game would crash only once in a blue moon.The game was perfect!! I could play for hours with no problems. But then, ever since last year's December patch and the "Discover Universities" pack:1. All households in Del Sol Valley, WIndenberg, Brindleton Bay now won't load. Many elsewhere now won't, including Oasis Springs where many of my favourite Sims reside. My precious Brigitta. :'( :'( 2. Enter Build mode or CAS during playing a household, exit back into Live mode and it crashes.3. Go to travel, it crashes.4. Go to play a household after being in Build mode on another lot, it crashes.So I ask you EA, what happened to my beloved game and my precious Sims I have come to adore???

If you are on console my sister plays on ps4 and still cannot travel till this day without crashing or going into build mode. Her sims barely leave the house. And it started a while ago. We never figured out the problem. I think the ps4 cannot handle it personally.They even said they addressed this issue in a patch but didn't work

There are some troubleshooting on Answer HQ, I'm not sure if these will help.

The devs haven’t even acknowledged the issue. It’s possible they don’t know how to fix their own mess. Even without all the packs installed it still crashes.

I've been crashing consistently since April on ps4. Same issues with going in/out of bb or cas. I can get a couple of hours of playtime if I also don't travel or use the tripod much. I've had the game for about 2 years now with most of the packs. Very sad I can't create my own stories right now.

How is this possible?

the ps4 can handle this game, its built for games, if it can handle games with massive open worlds and amazing graphics even better than the sims 4 it can, I personally think it's the autosave that the playstation doesn't like and I think maybe its something we either have too do without or everytime our game is getting too crashy to delete our autosave to refresh it

I have run into other games that the Xbox crashes because of autosaves. I think some of the software developers are not aware of or misunderstand the autosave function on consoles when the code the game.

I think the developers should just get rid of autosave for us console players ,99 problems less without it lol it's not that important ?
