Unable to Load Game / Error Code 123

I’m experiencing a probabilistic issue. When I launch the game and click “Continue” on the main menu, there’s about a 4/5 chance that it will crash and exit immediately. However, if I instead choose “Load Game” and enter Build Mode first, then switch to Live Mode, there’s roughly a 1 in 3 chance that I can successfully enter the game and play normally.

But once I travel to another lot and return, I always get Error Code: 123. This problem has been occurring since the September update, and it has completely halted the progress of my game for over a week.

This problem occurs regardless of whether I remove mods or not, and I’ve attached the crash report.

  • Hi SuperGangpao520​ 

    could you post the full error message you're getting ?

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    - Delete the ones you have
    - Trigger the error again
    - Check if new ones are created
    - If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.


    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

    You can't attach them. You need to copy paste the content.

    I have fixed the issue, ChatGPT analyzed my crash report and provided a solution, it is caused by the Build/Buy unlocker mod that I download in 2017. Because this mod leaves behind residual resources and code even after being removed from the folder, I mistakenly thought the issue wasn’t caused by the mod.

    Thank you anyway!!
