Whenever i try to open manage employee tasks, i get an exception. Im not sure if its the character or her employee but i keep having to introduce them. Im not sure if its a trait or something added to the tray but even tested vanilla (with only mccc) it still gave me an exception. Im also having an issue where one households furniture and belongings are disappearing and ending up in a different families household inventory. Last Module Called: small_business_manager.py Last Function Called: populate_employee_msg Error message: Exception occurred while attempting to populate a repeated field: (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'sim_id'), CategoryID: small_business_manager:930 Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

its not creating an exception because it keeps crashing

You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created. First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken. Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back. You will need the following folders - Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)- Screenshots (if you've taken any)- Videos (if you've taken any)- ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)- Options(.ini) (although I recommend to just redo your settings in the game) Now test again. If that still works, you can put back your mods. Put them back in groups and make sure they are still compatible with the game. All other files are recreated and not needed.

Possibly a problem with the save game then. Would you be willing to share your save with me ? If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

Please test your issue on a vanilla game (no MCCC) To verify on a vanilla game, move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the following files from your user folder. - localthumbcache- Any lastException Files- Any LastCrash files. Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back. If you still get a lastException file, please post the entire content of the file to your post.

Save crashes for me too. Backups as well. Unless you have any older backups than what you send me, I'm not sure there's anything you can do.

Since you can play with mods, can you try removing the employee that's causing issues from the game by deleting her through the household manager (on a backup of your save) to see if that solves the issue ?

What's the name of the employee ?

i added a mod or something a few weeks ago that i cant find, i think its in my tray because ive combed through mods and couldnt find it. it was for more logos for the business and business activities. when i go to the business part it looks like this now. and i think its whats messing up the game.
this is a different household with a business i mightve switched too and whos logo i also changed, cant remember but i tried going into the game and looked at her business and the logo is missing/replaced by grey emot so it must mean its still in my game and i cant find the mod name/visible in tray. is there a way to find it?? or to see things in your tray that arent visible in build/buy mode?

Tray contains sims and households so it would be odd for a mod to be installed there.

Could you post in the mod forum for help with that ? You will get better help there for mod related issues. I personally don't use many mods other than for troubleshooting stuff.

Or ask in the MCCC or SAD discords.

Going to leave this on troubleshoot for now so do please come back if you find it's a vanilla game bug causing the crashes for you.
