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.

Thank you both for your continued concern, it really is greatly appreciated. As I keep feeling as if it's some dumb thing I am causing myself, in just trying hard to figure out what I can do to correct my errors. Not sure the beginning part was but this one may have been. Upon getting my new system, I did just transfer everything so I think I may have just moved the problem over. So I took it away and redid it all. Although more issues happened. After thinking today I realized I am still technically still on both Xbox's and all packs are on both. Maybe that may be the issue(?) So I uninstalled everything from both of them and then reinstalled directly from the store only on the new one. However, I can not log my account out of the other Xbox since my kids pay for their own XBox live on my account. I also seen that I needed to switch the S to my current "home XBox" so I did that as well. I have now been playing for about 4 hours and no issues yet. 🤞 I did go offline as well as suggested. Other than the gallery or the store I'm not sure why you'd need the internet anyways. My girls are still wanting to use the cd version on their Xbox so I will try the clearing cashé as you suggested since I never knew how to do that, thank you. So once again hopefully this will help. I do have discord, is this an open group you all are in? I was looking at the version x but they were out of stock everywhere and I only play this game so I'm OK with this. Thanks again to you both.

I've got crashing too since the most recent update with colour swatch additions. I had to upgrade to Xbox series S about 6 months ago as it was crashing on Xbox one, but worse I was losing everything to save error code 22.

Now it's suddenly crashing to home on Save and Exit. Then it's doing a data synch when I login the next day. For me it's more annoying than anything especially on top of all the other bugs in my game. I know the team is looking at these things but every time there is an update I'm scrolling through it for some of the major issues in my game and left disappointed. Colour swatches could have waited in my opinion, there are major issues affecting gameplay that need addressing. I do love this game. I've played every incarnation since day one on PS, PC and Xbox. I've never spent so much time whinging about it as I have this year though.

@simsplayer818 I've stopped playing completely now as it's been going on for about 2 years now for myself. Raised it countless times but nothing seems to be happening with a fix.
Maybe some of the trouble shooting methods from other players might be able to make the game abit more playable but sorry to say once this happens it will continue and it will be a continuous crash.
Its disheartening to say after all the money we've spent and we can't even play the game.

This is becoming increasingly unplayable, crashing 3 times in 4 hrs gameplay and yesterday it took me about 20 minutes just to load it up again. On my new Xbox series S it usually takes less than a minute.
I cleared some saved data, did a data synch and it still made no difference. Today I'm going to uninstall and reinstall.
It's becoming less entertainment and more of a hassle just getting the thing to work. After over 1k spent on content and console I'm rapidly losing faith in a game I've played since day one Sims 1.
This was billed as a breakout season of content. I keep reading articles about exciting things to happen...guys we just want it to work. Right now I'm throwing good money after bad and I could kick myself for buying 2 new packs. New additions can wait, stability needs to be the first priority, some fundamental issues need addressing. Of the over 50 glitches and bugs in my game right now (mostly starting in 2021) crashing, for me is unforgivable.

@simsplayer818 I feel the same way... I enjoyed playing didn't mind buying the additional packs but once the issues started it felt as though as they didn't care about the actual game play aslong as they could bring out new content and make more money.. We was just pushed aside like we haven't just spent £100s on content even upgraded consoles to see if it was the older consoles not being able to keep up with all the content ect but it's generally a bug or something within the game causing this to happen I've gone beyond the point of even trying now I've contacted numerous advisors from Microsoft they all come with the same solution... There's no direct contact to ea/maxis so it's near to impossible to make them fully aware of these issues... Guides on here have stated that they are working on the issues but I've had them since mid 2018 I think or 2019 I can't remember but it's whenever I made this post lol. Still though we aren't valued enough for a fix...

@helenajade863 I crashed just on Exit yesterday so the main thing for me is to save my game and back it up before hitting exit. I'm going to leave the cottage living area again today and start a new fam in a different area to see if it helps but I'm having to leave the city alone too, just like I had to leave the snowy escape towns for stability problems too for a while. To get a new pack with so much promise that's so beautifully made...and yet so buggy, it's beyond annoying. I wish they'd just pick their release date then scratch it and add another couple of months beta testing just to be sure. I'll leave it a few months before buying new packs in future. It feels like we are guinea pigs helping them work the bugs out ourselves and while I understand there will always be an element of that, I think this year, maybe last year too it's been a bit much.
I've found base game worlds a little easier to work on, redeveloping Newcrest for example as I'd lost it all when I lost my game. Soon as I returned to cottage living it started again. So I'm going to Newcrest today I guess lol.
I don't like to sound so negative and I can see that some love goes into the creations so if we could just get these big things right is all we are asking. I don't want to buy something that's broken already.

I feel the same way to. I am now finding other things to occupy my time. It has got to the point where I didn't play it for weeks. They don't value us at all. They don't care. The more money they make the less they will do.
