Bug: Build Mode Crashing 1.55+ patch
Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? All the time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.55.108.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Mochino Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to Windenburg (the Villareal lot - 64x64), go to Build Mode, import the "Windenburg Castle" by Rediredtorch, and then go back to Manage Worlds. If it doesn't crash there - go back into Build Mode on that lot - crashes.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game crashes to desktop. Prior to 1.55+ patch, I have had no issues with this lot, graphic settings, or mods.
What do you expect to see? To enter/exit the Build Mode without crashing
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes - Have also tested without mods, issue still occurs.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes - patch 1.55 (with and without Realm of Magic)
I have made a post about this issue before, but it seems to have been ignored. I have attempted to build in Brindleton Bay, and the crashing occurred there as well. Before any replies are made about suggestions that I have already tried, I will repeat them here:
- I have already "factory reset" the MyDocuments\ElectronicArts\The Sims 4\ folder
- I have already tried removing mods
- I have tried lowering graphics settings
- I have updated Windows 7 64bit and my NVIDIA graphics drivers
- I have uninstalled Sims 4 + cleaned out all other folders from the computer -> Reset PC -> Reinstalled Sims4
- I have attempted a New Game with the above tests - still persists
PC Specs (Just in case):
- i74790k@4.0Ghz
- 16gb of Ram (corsair 2133mhz)
- 2x factory superclocked ATI nVidia GeForce GTX 780 TIs (1 dedicated to PhysX)
- Maximus Extreme VI motherboard
- Corsair H100i water cooling system (temps run smootherly in mid 30s)
- 500GB SSD + 2TB HDD @ 7200rpm (Origin and Sims 4 is on the HDD)

Can't seem to upload the lastCrasht.txt (site won't let me)
@JarrenV I tried this and it crashes my game too when placed on the Van-Windenburg Mansion lot on the island in Windenburg world; when exiting to Manage World, just like you said. When placed in Del Sol Valley it does not crash when doing the same. From the 64x64 lot in Del Sol Valley I saved it to my library, both under a new name, and with its original; and then used those versions to place in Windenburg, neither crashed, even when going in and out of build mode and switching household. But I do not have all the packs it is created with and cannot know if the object count is what matters most.
Could you try to place it in another world, and from there save it to your library? You will find 'your' version by looking for you as 'creator'. Place that version in Windenburg.
If that doesn't work: place it in another world and rename it completely (Not Windenburg Castle). Then save it to library and try to place it in Windenburg again.
What is the lot's name on the island when you are trying to place the house there?
Do you get any lastException.txt in your The Sims 4 folder? I'm not sure how to interpret them, just wanted to compare to mine.
Let me know if it crashes again.
