is it actually closing the game or is the app saying it has to close? Today I had my first issue with ea app and it was the app said it had lost connection and had to close, but I was able to save my progress b4 closing it. It didn't look like I'd be able to, but it did let me. I had to reach behind the app notification to click the save button.
and I don't have many mods at all - mccc, ui cheats extension, pandasama's birth mod, a set of eyelashes & some random bug fix mods.
UPDATE: I am NOW experiencing game crashes too after only 2-3 weeks of use.
