Re: Sims 4 crashing after Feb 2022 update
I'm on a ps5 and I'm dealing with constant crashing. especially going between build and live mode, or taking pictures. (selfies or otherwise)
Forum Discussion
@LathyrusLoon A couple bug threads for issues with those modes:
- [ALL] Experiencing Bad FPS loss/Lag in Build Mode please use Severe FPS loss (Lagging) when entering/exiting Build Mode
- [ALL] Experiencing Bad FPS loss/Lag when taking pictures please use Huge FPS loss when taking pictures
I haven't experienced any crashing like this on my PS5, but the fps loss is very bad even on the newer system when switching from build/buy and taking photos. In build mode you can open the cheat bar and close it to clear the lag, and open the sim info panel in live mode to clear it on PS5. For photo's you can press the options button to pause the game to clear the FPS loss.
For your crashing, you can check to see that your save or console hard drive isn't too full. Try starting a new save to see if the issue persists. It could just be your save is too full of households.
Try simply powering down your console completely. The PS5 was touchy about rest mode, but perhaps they've patched it.
- @PoptartJuniper I generally turn off my ps5 when not in use, not rest.
I have less than a dozen played households. and less than 100 households in total but maybe if I cull all of those random townies and some of the premades that have been affected by neighborhood stories it will help?- @LathyrusLoon Does the crashing happen on a new save?
If your save is very old, it could be affected by some of the very old issues that have since been patched. One fix required you to run the game as long as possible so it could cull extra hidden households each sim night.
