Hey all,

This issue was resolved in Patch 1.70.

Please be sure to fully close and update your game- if you're still having crashing issues once your game is fully updated, please create a new thread here so we can investigate further.

The QA team is aware of the crashing issue for XB1.

For any other issue, please read this thread [Read First][Current Issues] Game Issues or Crashes

For Crashes with Error codes, please open a bug report on the Bug Forum.

A current issue exists that is affecting saves and can cause issues. Please check this thread and post there if this is what you are seeing: [CURRENT ISSUE] Game creating tons empty households/Save game bloat/Insane Lag

For Crashing without error codes, please see the following:

These crashes are not reproducible crashes, they happen without warning and at different times during gameplay.

This issue is most common with:

Original XBox Consoles
Owning a lot of packs
Very old Saves
Saves with lots of played households
Lots of items in builds, including the use of lots of different packs in builds
Lots of Sims in relationship panels of played sims because of lack of game relationship culling (Think friend of the world on a sim without aging on, etc.)
The use of large lots (50x50, 64x64)

Deleting everything from sim and household inventories for all played sims may help with the crashing.

Saving your played sims and households/houses to the library and placing them down in a new save may help with the crashing.

A help thread with more ideas that may help to reduce crashing is here Autonomy and Simulation Lag

The following is general troubleshooting, and may not help with this specific issue.

1. Turn off Your system completely

Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

Patch 1.34 was just released to address the crashing introduced in patch 1.33. Please update your game and restart your console before launching your game.

This patch does not fix the longstanding crash issues reported in this thread, only the ones from patch 1.33. Please see the checkmarked post on the first page of this thread for any updates.

The 1.34 patch did not fix my issue. My game still crashes at 2am game time. Every time my sim goes to sleep, time does not automatically speed up. I've tried no sound and with sound. This is a bit ridiculous. I really don't want to uninstall all my expansions because itll take me 5 years to reinstall them all and I have a feeling that wouldn't even help the matter.
I guess my next step is to delete all my saves and hope for the best. I seriously wish there was a way on xb1 to uninstall recent updates. I believe it would've caused less of a headache.
I understand there are people working hard on the issue, but damn this sucks.

Okay, so I deleted all my saved files and started a new game. That seems to have worked for now. I'm able to save frequently, and make it passed 2AM without the game crashing.
Fingers crossed, but this is the most I have been able to play since that update last week 😬🤞🏻

  @lowkeyplantlady I had to upload all of my households and lots to my library, make a new game, re place everything and its been working great now. Makes me question is my previous save files were corrupt or something
