Sims 4 crash after latest patch
I recently updated the sims 4 to the newest patch and bought the Toddler expansion pack. Since then my Sims 4 keeps 'beach balling' AKA freezing. It will not react and the only thing that'll work is ...

A 22Gb Sims 4 user data folder is not going to perform well, that's crazy high. Do you have a ton of CC/Mods? If so then maybe one or more is not compatible with the latest version of the game. You need to try a clean game. You can move the folder to your external drive to keep it safe and not lose any of your saves etc. If you don't want to move the whole folder then just move the Mods folder over to see if it is CC causing the issue. Just don't save the game if it loads because none of your CC will be loaded.
No, I don't have any mods or CC installed. I never have before. My sims 4 folder is already on the external hard drive, because there isn't simply any space for sims 4 if it's 22 GB. How do I try a clean game?
I think you're muddling up the Sims 4 folder 🙂
The Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 folder is your user data where your saves etc. are stored. This is the folder I am asking you to move temporarily to see if a new game will launch correctly.
The game is installed in your Applications folder and has the Sims 4 icon. Is that what you are saying is 22Gb?
I have moved the folder you asked me to move. Do I need to delete the original if I'm keeping the folder in my external harddrive? It's 570MB. The game is not installed in my applications folder, it's in my external hard drive. Over there it's called Sims4 and 22,14 GB. Included is the screen shot where it says it's 22GB
Leave the game alone on your external drive (the one in your screenshot), we don't need to do anything to that yet.
After copying the Sims 4 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts over to your external drive you can delete the original as you have it safely stored on the drive. Now try launching your game.
