I know I’m late BUT since Xbox players are being told to create new profiles and start over, I’ll say that I did that and you will eventually run into the same issues, so don’t waste your time. It is fine for a while but once the first generation kids get to about teenager, it happened again. Crashes on home lot only. I’ve moved, built an entirely new house, tried different worlds. Nothing matters. I can do get to work jobs, I can go on vacation, but I can’t exit on a home lot and I can’t travel consistently off of the home lot. I can tell some work has been done because it isn’t doing it everywhere, but it can’t handle being at home. I can make beautiful exquisite builds on Xbox but the game can’t handle it, so minimalistic is my sims new way. I even made a generic lot and put all our extra things like collectibles, pictures, and basic storage stuff. I’ve emptied inventories, not build with moo, I’ve uninstalled/ reinstalled, deleted saves and re-saved, deleted profiles. Final step started a whole new profile. Nothing matters. The game will eventually start crashing for everyone playing on Xbox 1 regardless of how they play or what they do. There is no solution on our end. It’s a coding issue and it seems to be related to memory. If EA or maxis or whoever built their games right before release, this wouldn’t be an issue. They build backwards. They throw out the game with the minimum where it’s barely a game and add to it as they go, which then makes the game too big for the systems to handle without having a desktop from Mars built in 2050, and it throws the coding off. The game will always become unplayable. You can only throw out subpar products for so long before people quit trying. I’m there. Others will be too. I won’t be purchasing Sims 5.I’ve been a fan since sims 1 was released, but I know waaaay too much about the inner workings of this game and troubleshooting than I should ever need to know. Eventually, another company that can code will pick this idea up and actually make a playable game. As far as I’m concerned the sims was nothing but a great idea that never came to full fruition since it is unplayable. Just wanted to let people know that are “troubleshooting” their game, spending hours trying to get back hours of gameplay. I’m not saying not to do it because you never know. It may help this time. I’m just saying eventually just expect it to be unplayable. Rip sims.
