Game Crashes When Interacting with Coffee/Tea Drinks and Objects

hello!

i'm experiencing constant crashes in my game, and it seems related to coffee and tea drinks/objects. the issue arises whenever my sims interact with anything involving coffee or tea, including bars, coffee machines, and tea brewers. 

i already tried 50/50 method and removed my food and drink mods and enablers individually but the game keeps crashing. the only time it doesn't if I play without any mods or cc. 

the crashes happen before the game generates any Last Exception (LE) or Better Exception (BE) reports, so I don’t have much to work with in terms of error logs.

i also play my game on macbook m3

is anyone else experiencing this issue, or does anyone have suggestions on what else I can try? I’d appreciate any help since this is making my game unplayable!

    @naznsl This particular issue is probably caused by having conflicting drink items from multiple creators and/or duplicate recipes. You have Somik & Severinka "all recipe" collections plus some separate recipes, so likely duplicates. Also, check if your S&S mods and SCCO are compatible with each other, especially because SCCO includes some overrides. Srsly's Patreon lists S&S as partially compatible, not fully. Srsly doesn't list BrazenLotus or Balkanika cooking/ingredient mods as compatible, so look into that.

    Overall, though, you have a lot of cleaning up to do. I will comment here only on non-18+ content.

    REMOVE:
    the Tray files from Moniamay72 - Elegant Dressing Room
    the file ending .blend
    the desktop.ini file from 2022 sitting in a subfolder
    something called 1.package from 2015
    The SCCO_Log.log files in the folders 2024 PART 3 and 2024 PART 1
    The pandas_mod.log file in the folder 2024 PART 1
    The Resource.cfg files in various subfolders
    The Lot51 log and dat files in the folder 2024 01

    DELETE AND UPDATE
    Lumpinou's Toolbox
    PiedPiper and Mirai mods (lots of updates recently to those and you might be missing some of them)
    Oni's Custom Grocery Mod
    MC Command Center
    Cepzid (Zulf) Arcade Room Pack
    pre-August Kijiko eyelashes

    REORGANIZE BY CREATOR - currently organized in multiple ways that are bound to lead to duplicates - some separating out script mods (but some script mods are in other places), some by creator, some by when you downloaded them, some by set name, some that seem to have come in someone else's mod collection. When you reorganize by creator, you can check for duplicates, including things you might have both merged and separated. These might not be broken, but it could clean up your CAS and Build/Buy catalogues.

    Check file names with odd special characters (wingding-type symbols especially) and rename them:
    one in the SONGTAO folder (that's not normal square brackets]
    at least one by Joyce
    some in the folders MAY 15, Garden at Home, FURNITURE, CLOTHES, ALMOST SEPTEMBER
    some AbbyPIGGG files possibly (these are in many different folders)
    one by charmy
    some by CHARONLEE

    Given all the build/buy here, run a DX11 batch fix in Sims 4 Studio

    These are broken:
    Ravasheen (RSVN) Slide into Your Mods
    all mods by pbox

    Try removing:

    SAC and QMBibi mods (often problematic, and you won't find updates reported here)
    charitycodes Selectable Pets (not confirmed compatible for quite a while)
    Robin food mods (not confirmed compatible for quite a while)

    @naznsl You might be dealing with a conflict, not an individually broken item. You can try an alternative testing method of gradually adding mods in batches to the Mods folder. I'm also happy to look at a list of your mods. See the last post in How to Use Mods and CC for how to generate one I can use.

    I have the same problem and I don't have any mods installed. Any suggestions?

    Hello!  I am having this exact same issue.  I have a sim living in San Myshuno, and I am trying to get her to earn the Caffeine Addicted Lifestyle.  Well lately, when I have her brew a cup of coffee, my game crashes.  I've repaired the game, removed my mods, played on a save without any mods, and it does not crash when I do that.  I figured it must be a mod issue so I did the 50/50 method.  It continued to crash from something in my BuildBuy sub folder as I have it organized, so I narrowed down my 50/50 method again to just that sub folder.  Well, I just finished doing the 50/50 through my entire BuildBuy sub folder and it didn't crash!  I don't think that means that the issue is solved, however. 

    The only food mods I have are Somik & Severinka and Insimnia.  I have some vending machines and food stalls from RVSN, QMBiBi, and SYB, but no food mods from them.  Somik & Severinka's Realistic Food Mod appears to require the SCCOR by Srsly, so I have the updated version of that in my game as well.

    I currently have no duplicates, all my mods appear to be up-to-date, I do not get any LEs (although I do generate a UI exception in my The Sims 4 folder, but not in the game).  Also, I play on a Mac, so DX11 does not apply to me.  Is this something you can please take a look at?

    AkennArt​  It sounds like you have mods that conflict with each other. I'd suggest trying adding mods in gradually, as opposed to the 50-50 method. I'd do this by creator. Note that not all the creators and mods you list are supported here, so there could be issues I don't know about.

    If it's helpful, the PandaSama Makeup Kit mod seems to be the culprit in causing my game to crash when ordering cafe drinks "for here," particularly the script file:  Pandasama_MakeupKit.ts4script

    AkennArt​ PandaSama cleared all her mods for the patch. Are you on the version released March 2024, or an earlier version? And did you test the mod alone, with no other mods or CC?
