Game crashes on Saving

Hello Sims Community,


In the last 2 days my sims 4 started crashing to desktop when initiating a save. No file is generated and I lose the progress I made. I have turned off mods and scripts and tried saving and the game still crashes when saving. I am playing the game on a laptop. I installed a fresh copy of the game on my desktop PC and transferred my save folder over and loaded my most recent save game. When saving on the fresh install on my desktop PC the game also crashes exactly the same as my laptop. The game completely closes to desktop and no error message is displayed. I am not sure of the exact scenarios that cause the bug but what thing I have confirmed on my 2 PCs is that building on a vacant lot and then going to save causes the crash to desktop. This is making the game unplayable for me. Please help.

    @Funbags666  So you can in fact load the save, but building on a lot and trying to save causes an issue?  Have you tried using "save as" instead of "save"?

    If that doesn't help, please test the same lot in a clean folder, and try building on a different lot in the existing save.  (You can use "save as" again if you don't want to save the build you've made.)

    I've narrowed down the issue. In Rippling Flats, if I build in an empty lot called 'New Crest' is crashes on saving. Nowhere else does the game crash unless I build on the new crest lot. Very strange bug. I will just not build on new crest.
