Re: Game Crashes when Making Drink

HI @tv2rock 

Try the following

  • Close the game
  • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
  • Repair the game
  • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
  • Start a new save game
  • Check if you still have the error
  • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

  • Hello! I had the same issue for a while now, and it's the same when they drink coffee/tea. I started a new game and same thing happens. If someone has the solution please.

    Thank you!

    @adrianacanet Just to be clear, when you started the new game, was it completely mod-free (and did you delete the localthumbcache folder before relaunching Sims)?
  • @crinrictYes I've tried as you said and the new game without mods didn't crush, then I started trying the mods and it was working fine. But then I enter ed in the old game and it crushes... I don't know what could be the problem...

  • @crinrict Yes, I've tried a few things and my main game it always crushes when they have coffee/tea, but now my sims are on vacation in a free cc lot and it doesn't happen. So it must be cc but I checked everything and don't have food mods or anything, just cc kitchen furniture etc... I don't know what could be, I have to check more things.
    Thank you for your help

    @adrianacanet By checking everything you mean you removed all your mods/cc, deleted the localthumbcache file and tested on a backup of that particular save up and it still crashed ?

    Hello
    I have the same problem with item CCs only (no gameplay mods or anything else). I spent many hours testing. I discovered for example that a shelf of the CC creator Pierisim caused almost every time the crash bug with the coffee. So I tested a lot of CCs like that, but it still happens, but less often. It's really hard to find the cause, sometimes there's no bug for a while and then all of a sudden it happens... I play on Mac M3

    Hi

    I've already tried a lot of things but I'm going to continue my tests. The problem hasn't occurred for a few games following a sorting I did in my CCs.

    You said that when the game crashes it establishes an error report that we could exploit?

    Thanks for your help

  • @Lonoath Sometimes there's an LE with a crash and sometimes there isn't. If a crash occurs only with CC and not without, we'd like to see a crash report too (though I personally can't read that, it might be useful for devs eventually).
