what do lastException files mean?

im trying to fix my build mode (every time i open it, none of the build/buy menu appears and all i can do is move existing object). apparently the lastException files tell you something about why the game is crashing. i downloaded mc command center back in april, but immediately deleted it because it wasn't showing up. it's very possible that i didn't install or delete it correctly (after i deleted it, i had lost almost all of my previous progress), but out of nowhere in july, i think after some kind of update, my build mode broke. i've heard that the broken build mode is caused by mods, but i thought i didn't have any mods, which is why i'm having so much trouble fixing this. i do, however, have lots of lastException files in my sims 4 folder.

does anyone know what the lastException files mean? i have files that are lastException_(insert long number) and also lastUIException and lastException_(insert long number). are they related to the broken build mode? thank you!!

  • @shaila68 LastExceptions are unhandled errors in the game. So basically the game runs into a problem while playing and writes a file with the information what happened. LastUIExceptions usually are issues with the User Interface while LastExceptions are game issues.

    Since they have numbers for you, they might be older so best thing to do is, delete the files you have now and then run build mode again and see if the game creates new files.

    You can then post the files here for review
