So I've noticed lately that when I play my game it freezes when I try to save the game after hours of playing. Also if it doesn't end up freezing while I save it, it will completely close the game all the way. I ran a BE report and there's some mods I know I need to remove but I don't completely understand. Could someone please help.
As you already noticed there is a high probability that this behavior is related to an outdated or broken mod. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to most of these problems. I think you need to look at your mods to find out what is going on in your game.
As always make a backup of your game data before you start tweaking your game to have a fallback option if you don't like the result.
Try the following, to see whether your game works without mods:
Your game will probably work flawless without mods. If that's the case you have to go through your mods and find the culprit.
Using @luthienrising`s "Broken/Obsolete and Updated Sims 4 Mods" list here on AHQ will help you a lot >> AHQ link
Also the 50/50 search might be a good method for this task to get a result in a reasonable time. Have a look at this post for directions >> AHQ Link
Attention:
All modded content will disappear from the game if you remove it, so if sims are wearing CC it will vanish while you're testing.
Because of this it's really important that you do not save the game while testing.
That way your CC will still be there when you bring your mods back into your game.
@idontmccall To delete mods, go into the folder Document > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. Look through it for the name of the creator and mod, and then delete all the related files. After you're done, go to the folder Document > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 and delete the file called localthumbcache.package.
You can check Broken/Updated Mods & CC for lists of broken mods (delete these) and updated mods (delete the old versions, download the new ones, and put them in the Mods folder).
If you still get issues after this, let BE generate a new file and I'm happy to look at it.
