What Happened EA???

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???

    Does this happen to you if you start a new save?

    From what I understand they are always facing risks with the game crashing for people every time they add new content. I think they added a lot of new changes with Discover University and Eco Lifestyle which caused the game to crash for a lot of people...especially those that play on older saves.
  • I play on xbox and have only had it crash once, but since it updated it takes forever to load in or travel. I have an external hard drive so I know it's not a memory issue.

    I always thought it was a memory issue. I play on xbox & I kept rotating packs thinking that it was just taking up too much space. My game crashes ALOT. To the point where I've lost numerous builds (regardless of how much I save.) I have another bug that makes all my more full figured sims skinny when you zoom out, lol. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but annoying.

    I play on ps4 it has never crashed


    I play on PlayStation, too, and the game hasn't crashed for me either. The only issue I have is the time it takes to get in game from start menu - I timed it. It took me... 6 minutes and 28 seconds.
