Why does my game keep crashing every time I try to search specific items in build buy search bar. It will freeze and crash the movement I attempt to type in a word. I get to one letter and then it will buffer like its trying to respond then it will completely crash where I have to keep reopening a game and redoing all the work I had done. This issue makes it hard to find all the gardening plants so I can plant them right all the way. Please find a way to fix this issue.

Hey, did you ever find out which mod is causing this? I am having the same problem and it's been happening for a couple weeks now. Thanks!

thepancake1-ColorSlidersUI-v2m-1.105

This one was the culprit for me.

@KingVicksII Thanks. V2n was released a few days ago.

{BarbieSimz} 2024 Vision Boards.package was the problem for mine

Thanks @_Yashemaa I'll add that to my testing for coffee break this afternoon.

EDIT: This seems to be paywalled content, which we don't support at AHQ.

for me it was one of:

{BarbieSimz} Tufted Rugs Vol.1

{BarbieSimz} Tufted Rugs Vol. 2 (Holiday Edition)

{BarbieSimz} Tufted Rugs Vol. 3

{BarbieSimz} Caked Up Preset

@mackenziebluth Thank you! Most likely one or all of the rugs. If you get a chance to narrow further, let me know? I'll add them to my test list, but not sure when my next round of testing might be. Meantime, I've added them to the solution post.

hey, the culprit was:

{BarbieSimz} Tufted Rugs Vol.1

Thanks so muhc, @mackenziebluth ! I'll get that into the next post update too.

@Xer0Yootz Please see the Solutions post on the first page. If when you do a 50-50 you find a culprit mod that isn't on that list, please let  me know what it is.

SOVASIMS Arch 1 for me. Thank you!

Hi the only one I have is color sliders updated and I even tried taking that out and it’s still crashing when I search. 

@goddess529 More mods and CC items could be causing this than have been identified so far, including new ones after last week's game update. Instructions for narrowing down the cause are here: Mod/CC Issues Be sure to delete localthumbcache when your remove or replace a Mods file.

I came back to this forum because I finally found the mod breaking my game and making it crash when I searched for items in build/buy mode! It's " {BP}_PIN UP BEAUTIES_ FRAME " !

I thought about how much I looked around and couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd add the CC here just in case anyone else runs into this issue and maybe has it installed!

@xAndromedax13 Thank you! I'll add that to the list!

I made this account to say thank you for this. I've been having this problem for such a long time, and honestly it made me not even want to play the game anymore.

My issues were the Pearls and the Rotary Phone from {BP} VINTAGE SET. I never would've known to delete them if not for this list! Thank you so much!!

Hi! I've been having this issue for nearly a year where if I search in the search bar in build mode the game crashes. I just stopped searching in it but I only now realized I might not be the only one with this issue and low and behold this thread exists lol. I don't have any of the mods/cc listed as causes except the color sliders, which I just updated with the newest version and i still have the issue. I'm thinking maybe its bc I might have so many files is why it not only crashes but the game lags to where it takes 10 minutes irl for my sim to complete an action lol. I'm on laptop instead of an actual PC so maybe my laptops trying to tell me I'm slowly offing it lol. I've done 50/50 relatively recently but I don't have time to do it all again in one sitting it usually takes me a week to do so. I have over 15k files.

@alltimejess1849 Check "previously broken" in Broken/Updated Mods & CC as well in case there's more there. For a 50-50, all items causing this are items from the build/buy catalog, so you can limit your testing to those.

Thank you. It was SovaSima Arch 1 for me. I had this problem before and I believe it was the same thing but couldn't remember what to take out. So happy for forums like this. THANK YOU! Saved me a lot of time and frustration.

I had this problem and it turned out to be both {BP}_EVERENDING STORY BOOK 

And  {BD} VINTAGE SET_VINTAGE PHONE
