Re: [FIXED] [XB] Crashing during travel, save the game, in build mode

Thanks for your support I have tried all the options you have given

My console is up to date with 

I only uninstalled the magic pack and the issues were resolved.

once I reinstalled the pack the issues continued

I'm abit hesitant to unistall all the packs and games as when I removed the magic pack once it was installed again all the progress I had done with building was lost so Im not fully confident in doing this as I don't want to loose any progress as I have over 100+ hrs of game play saved

    @helenajade863  The only objects that should disappear from a build are the ones related to the pack you didn't reinstall. So long as you reinstall all the packs, you should have no trouble with items disappearing. You can back your save up to the cloud before you uninstall/reinstall your game if you are worried about losing save progress. 

    There have been many reports since the December patch of crashing with these specific instances: traveling, exit/entering build mode and CAS.

    That's what I thought would happen but none of the items restored it just kept the items the pack content was replaced with. I've seen alot of people reporting the same issue... Is there any contact information for the game development team to raise awareness of the issues? Or isit just these forms?

    I've had similar issues. I'm on xbox one and have lost hours in gameplay as well as when I load the game back up it takes 20 plus minutes to load the game in. So it's like I'm spending 80% of my time in loading screens just for it to crash every time I save again. Then I have to replay those few minutes or if I forget to save for a while 30 mins. I cant travel right now unless i want to spend over an hour in loading screens just to get somewhere because it crashes 90% of the time when I try to travel and 80 when I try to save. It's getting frustrating and I ended up rage quitting on sims last night because it will not let me save. I have tried every single troubleshooting step and even contacted ea support but nothing is working. Everything is up to date and I check every single day for a new update because this is awful.

  • Hello I can understand how frustrating this is as it happened alot to me and it made me just want to uninstall the game all together but the amount of money that has been spent id be loosing out. 

    Have you activated the cheats? 

    The way I resolved the issue without support from ea was saving the houses I made to my library and making a new save then deleted the previous save with issues 

    It now allows me to travel the issue is still there but its very less frequent that it crashes its still frustrating but I believe on one of the houses I've used glitched out when useing cheats.

    @KatrinaNJ Exactly. Its definitely a known issue so if anyone is reading this you're probably wasting your time trying to fix this terribly broken game on your end by going through hard restarts and uninstalling then reinstalling. What's the point? We already know the game is broke. You didn't break it, the developers did!
