Sims 4 - Corrupted Save File

Hi, I think my save file is corrupted. It starts lagging as soon as I enter the household and after about fifteen minutes it just crashes without an error code. Happens with or without mods. I repair...

    @ZaraDonna You would probably need to delete a lot of them. I do think it's the culling mechanism that makes your game crash cause the game just goes over the amount of RAM you have. For me it ran at > 8 GB from start so it's curious that it doesn't crash for you right away.

    The save itself is also > 100 MB which is because of the many households and probably why it crashes.

@crinrict Wow 8786, that's crazy :0 I remember distinctly that it tended to happen at the same in game time. Once I managed to pass the first in game time it chose a different time to keep crashing and so on. I have 8GB of RAM, never had this issue before. Might be a combination of MCCC and the game itself generating new households. I'll try to delete some household and check out the MCCC setting and see if that helps. Thanks a lot for your help <3

    @ZaraDonna It would be interesting to know if they re-create in masses or if it just happened at some point.

    Did you notice any jump in save game size at any time ?

    @crinrict No, I didn't really need to look at my save files before xD I'll keep an eye out once I actually start playing and let you know. Thanks for all your help 🙂
