Continuous Crashing during household loading
The Sims 4 is unplayable for me right now. Creating a new household runs smoothly without any problems, but when I place them on a lot and then click to play that household, the game crashes without ...

This didn't work. I loaded into the main household fine, but when I went to manage worlds, placed another household, and then clicked play on that household, the game crashed.
@LittleMissVirgo Please try this deeper test:
- Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
- Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options.
- Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game. If you have any option other than New for starting a game, please let me know!
- If that works, start putting old content back: Exit and copy files out of your old Saves folder into the new Saves folder. Important: Don't just copy the old folder! You want to use the newly created folders.
- Launch Sims 4 and use Load to select an older save to test.
I don't want to take over this thread, but I've been having very similar problems for weeks. I've tried so many things, but 8 of my 18 houses/households are no longer playable. The loading screen doesn't stop when I want to go into live or build mode.
PS: I created my own post about my problem here about 30 minutes ago and it was marked as spam. It only has one post so far, mine. I don't understand it, that's why I'm writing here now. Sorry. My post said everything I've already tried. I'm really desperate. :/
@Romisto Does it work if you remove mods/CC? Please do a "vanilla" test: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.
- @luthienrising Thanks for responding... And yes, I tried that and so much more...
What I have tried so far:
- repair the game using the EA app
- rename my entire Sims folder and copy it somewhere else to generate a new folder after starting the game
- created a new save file in the game
- vanilla test (my 3-4 mods were never the problem, - without CC, but with mods in, everything worked)
- batch fixes through Sims 4 Studio
- tests with the mod: Better Exceptions (no problems with mods, a few CC duplicates (I solved them) and a single defective package file from Cicada ("Hout-Huis Master Bedroom Mattress Solids") which I deleted
- test with the mod: Lumpinou Milestone Fixes (FixForCCObjects & LoadOnPlayedButNotActiveSim) where I could not find any changes
- 50/50 method for mods and CC, but this is extremely detailed and has already cost me over 30 hours (my 3-4 mods worked without any problems, I was able to exclude many of my over 3000 CC files, but I haven't been able to conclusively find the errors yet)
- I checked the lists of Broken CC here in the forum, but found no matches
The error, if it is the CC, is probably in files from these creators/downloads: [novvvas] and "PC-TS4-BowedLiving"
Despite many hours of using the 50/50 method, I haven't been able to find the specific problematic files here.
And I haven't read anywhere about other simmers having problems with these creators/downloads. I've tried downloading the files again, but the problems are still there.
I really don't know what to do next.
