[Needs Patch Fix] Certain BB Sections Crash Modded Games!

Before anyone asks, I've tried everything. 50/50 method, repairing, resetting to factory settings, reinstalling, etc. and my DxDiag is fine! Also, none of my cc is corrupt or incompatible with the latest patches!

Before the May 4th patch my game was fine, but now, whenever I try to access the Paintings & Posters and Rugs sections in my modded game, they crash!

It seems to be an ongoing issue with the game patches. Sometimes it works after patches, but then other times after a new patch they break again. I've also had issues before with the clutter and misc decor sections. Something with the way the game works after patches is causing issues with cc and specific sections of the game!

I've been able to fix this in the past with the 50/50 method, but this time, no such luck! I kept splitting them and testing each part until eventually the game just stopped crashing with either split anymore. However, once I put them together it started crashing again! There's no way I could possibly have hundreds of mods conflicting with hundreds of other mods. Especially when this was not an issue before the May 4th patch!

Please fix this in the next patch!
Thank you :)

  • You most likely have one Mod in each batch conflicting with one Mod in the other. If the conflict happens specifically with Paintings and Posters and the rugs sections, I would suggest looing at those specific files. If you don't keep your files in Subfolders try the Mods Manager at Mod the Sims, it looks like it categorizes Mods.

    But it couldn't be a conflict because before the game updated it was fine! and I hadn't gotten any new mods since before or after that update happened. I've done through research online and have found any possible mods conflicting with the new patches and updated all the ones that needed to be updated. This also has happened before in the past with previous updates and different sections (misc decor, clutter, rugs, etc.) However, once the game updates again, it's fixed. I feel like this is due to Maxis not fully supporting the modding community so when they update the game they don't take into account the issues that may arise between the new patch and people's mods.

    So, it still requires a patch fix in my eyes!

    Please take this issue into account @SimGuruModSquad and let the other guru's know please!
    Thank you!
