SIMS 4 CRASHING IN LIVE MODE

My Sims 4 game keeps crashing in live mode. It works fine in build, but crashes whenever I order a sim to do something. When I removed my Mods folder completely from my Sims 4 folder, my game worked fine. However, I combed through my mods and removed about 100 items at a time, testing to see which mod was causing the crash, but my game continued to crash even when I ended up removing the mods out of the mod folder. The only thing that seems to work was actually removing the entire Mods folder out of the Sims 4 folder. 

I have a MacBook Pro running on MacOS High Sierra.

Processor is 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5.

Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB.

Please help.

  • @shanjmcg, Did you recently update your Sims 4 game? if you haven't played for awhile and recently updated your game, you may not be aware that EA updated its compiler program which rendered core script mods useless until their creators updated their mods to work with the November update. Check the creators' websites to see if their mods were recently updated and download new versions if they have. One or more mods are definitely causing your game to crash. 

    Please keep us updated.

    If you're 100% sure that you removed all of your CC/Mods from the Mods folder then it may have been the resource.cfg file that somehow became corrupted. By moving your whole Mods folder out you will have forced the game to recreate the folder and a new resource.cfg file. Have you tried moving a Mod into the newly created folder to see if it works?

    I removed all my mods and deleted the resource.cfg file and it still crashed. Now I just removed my entire Mods folder, and my game just crashed again. Do you guys have any idea of what might be crashing my game?

    @shanjmcg, try moving the entire Sims 4 folder to your Desktop and do NOT delete it! This is where your saved games are stored. Next, start up your game allowing a new Sims 4 folder to generate. Start the game and create a new Sims as none of your saved games will be present. Play for about an hour to insure that nothing else strange happens and then you can either save your new sim or simply quit the game without saving. If you can get the game to start and play without it crashing, then move your saved games back into the new folder.

    To test to see if one or more mods cause the game to crash, you can add back your mods one at a time. Start up the game as normal, either play a previous saved game or play a new game to test if the mod you just added worked. Repeat adding back mods one at a time until the problem returns and then you know that the last mod you added was either bad or out dated. 

    Please respond back.
