After the last Update my game crashes after editing male Sims in CAS. It's only happening on male sims. I do have Mods, CC and this never happened before.As example, I have the same pants for male and female sims. Putting it on male Sims, the game crashes after leaving CAS. It does not on a female Sim. But sometimes if I only put on the pants and nothing else and exit, the game does not crash. I am so confused. Basically I might be able to create a male sim by putting on a piece of clothing, leave CAS, save, and then enter CAS again and put on another piece, only to repeat that.For sure is: It crashes 100% when putting together a whole outfit. It crashes maybe when only putting one piece of CC Clothes on. I am not sure right now if it's CC - because it only happens on Male sims. But I don't know what to do. I downloaded two new CC Clothes for men to find out if it's certain CC I already had. It seems like CC on only male Sims does not work, because even with new CC that just released it crashs. I am not sure what to do. I took out all mods and it still crashed. I created a new save, created a male sim with the same clothes. It did not crash after leaving CAS but when I tried to move onto a lot.

@Lenaxdo Have you tested with no mods and no custom content at all? If not, please do so now. You don't need to save your progress, or you can start a(nother) new save. If the game crashes with no mods or cc, please let me know when it happens, and also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

@puzzlezaddict Yes. I removed my mods, only kept in CC - it still crashed. It does not happen when chosing non CC clothes, but then again it is totally fine chosing CC clothes for my female sims. It doesn't make any sense to me that it happens with only male sims. I also tried out creating a new save file. I created a male Sims with the same CC clothes. I was able to leave CAS normally and chose a lot, but as soon as I chose a lot it crashed again. Again, this only happens since the last update. Putting the male CC on my female sims does not crash my game. So I am not sure what is wrong here with the male sims. Edit:I am not 100% sure if it is truly fixed now, but I took out all my CC from SeoulSims and since then I didn't had any crashes. So it might been the Custom Content from SeoulSims, eventhough I didn't even put it on my Sim. Not sure if it is truly fixed now, but I'll try it out over the evening now to see if there are any crashes.

@Lenaxdo Thank you for identifying a possible culprit! CC was definitely your go-to here, and it's the presence of the file, not using it, that makes the most difference. If you're able to narrow it down to a particular file, I'd be interested in knowing (that does also take a lot of localthumbcache deleting!).

@luthienrising It indeed seemed to be SeoulSims CC and several files caused the issue. These are the ones that I had:-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#01_Nuptse down jacket (Female)-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#01_Nuptse down jacket (Male)-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#02_Top-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#03_Top-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#04_Skirt-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#04_Top-[SEOULSOUL] 2023_#05_Dress-[SEOULSOUL] Boss_Shearling Jacket_V2 (Female)-[SEOULSOUL] Boss_Shearling Jacket_V2 (Male)-[SEOULSOUL] JC_01_RIBBON JACKET & OPS-[SEOULSOUL] JC_02_BASIC JACKET-[SEOULSOUL] JC_03_BASIC HALF SLACKS-[SEOULSOUL] JC_04_JACKET & SHIRT-[SEOULSOUL] JC_05_BASIC SLACKS-[SEOULSOUL] JC_06_JACKET DRESS-[SEOULSOUL] Modern_N1_Turtleneck Dress-[SEOULSOUL] Sleeveless T-shirt (Female)-[SEOULSOUL] Leather Dress+ShirtIt seems like their CC simply does not work atleast for me since the problem happened with every single file.

Thanks @Lenaxdo I'll grab some of that and see if I can fit in some testing this weekend. It's odd that it's all files from the same creator.

@Lenaxdo Could you please test a clean folder again -- drag The Sims 4 to your desktop -- without putting any mods or CC into your folder, and then test in a new save to make sure you don't have crashing when there's no CC? If that works, save it as "test save".

We'll go single step by single step after that, rather than trying to do a lot at once.

@luthienrising That was the first thing I did following your guide before. Started a new game without CC and Mods after making a completely new mods folder. There was no crashing. After that I did put my saves back in first and tried it again - also no crashing. The game also does not crash only with Mods and no CC. It does crash when there are no Mods, but with CC inside the folder.
Another thing I tried was: after putting everything back in, I tried to edit the outfit of my male sim and didn't put any CC on, while it is in my mods folder. I only chose base game clothes and it did not crash. Chosing CC clothes on the other hand leaded to another crash.

I just dragged the EA folder back onto my desktop and started Sims 4 again. The new save file did not crash, I was able to exit the CAS and move onto a lot without any problems.

@Lenaxdo Okay. Please download a CAS file from peacemaker (because I know these files are okay) and add it as the only file in your Mods folder, and delete localthumbcache. Then test what happens. Please also screenshot the whole Mods folder, including the bar showing its location.

@luthienrising No need for that anymore - I was finally able to fix it!! I had some CC inside a folder that was deeper in my folder and I overlooked for a few times, apparently. Inside was CC from Busra-tr that caused the crashes.
I was now able to testplay Sims 4 for a while and I had no crashes! So it finally seems to be fixed!

Thank you for all your help! Starting with a new folder was a good advice!

@Lenaxdo Awesome! Good opportunity now to reorganize your stuff 🙂 I've got some tips on that in How to Use Mods and CC
