Solved: Sims 4 crashing after installing Horse Ranch with no error message...

Hello! 

I've been trying to play my generations save after installing the new expansion pack (Horse Ranch), but something mysterious (probably a mod) is causing the game to abruptly crash only a few minutes after entering the game. I was able to finish building a ranch earlier today on a 64x64 lot, but playing with my actual household has been kind of a mess. There's no lag, no error or exception messages, no visual glitches - just a sudden cut to my desktop and a "lastcrash" file in my Sims 4 folder. 

I recently cleaned out my mods folder, going from 7000+ package files to 3700 (almost all of which are CAS items) to ease up on the game. Before installing Horse Ranch, I had no problem running the game with my insane amount of mods. But now it's unplayable... 

I do have these gameplay/script mods installed: 

- Carl Dine Out Reloaded 3.3

- Tmex TOOL

- Tmex Better Build Buy

- Tmex All Cheats

- Tmex Always Testing

- Tmex Always Full Edit Mode

- Tmex Always Free Build

- Tmex Always MOO

- MC Command Center

- Little Miss Sam No Auto Food Grab After Cooking

- Little Miss Sam Unlock Door for Chosen Sim

- Little Miss Sam Let Friends Age Up

- XML Injector 4

- Rex's Place Custom Club Activities (multiple package files)

Because the crash takes quite a few minutes to happen in-game, it's taking me too long to sift through the mods and find the culprit; hence why I'm here to ask for help! <3 

I'm worried that my primary save file is corrupted because of all this, so any advice is appreciated!

UPDATE: The issue was TOOL! Twisted Mexi updated the mod and my game is no longer crashing. 🙌

    @theFrostySlime 

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

  • Thanks for the reply! 

    I already tried this, and it's definitely a script mod causing the problem. 

    Several hours of the 50/50 method later, it seems like MC Command Center might be responsible for the crashes. This sucks because of how essential MCCC is to my gameplay... But Deaderpool is usually pretty quick about updating. 

    I'm gonna do some double checking to see if MCCC truly is the culprit. I'll report back soon!

    Update: I stand corrected... I still have no idea what's causing the issue. :/

  • I still am having this problem - I've tried literally everything you listed along with updating the TOOL mod. Is my save file corrupted? I have no idea what to do anymore.........

  • Usually when I have this problem, I need to update my graphics card driver.

    Games will simply close down with no error message, if it's outdated.
