Game crashes when I try to add a new sim to family

Ever since the toddler update today my sims game crashes. I tried to adopt from a computer in game and it crashed. I figured it was the computer I was using on sims so I tried a different computer after restarting the game. It crashed again. I then tried to add a new sim into the family via manage household only for sims to crash another time. Finally I tried making a new family to see what the problem was. Once I clicked add another member to the household the game crashed. 

  • do have custom content in my game, and it's never given me problems before.
  • It only crashes when I try to add a new member to the household (Adopt, or in cas.)
  •  Last crash

(edit)

After removing the mods folder and trying again I had no problems. Could this be because I updated the game without removing the mods folder? My game still only crashes when adding a sim to a household.

    Your computer is a bit low in specs. Also try updating your graphics drivers.

    If you have no issues without mods/cc it could be either a outdated mod which should be removed or it's the amount of cc/mods you have that puts it over the top with the low specs you have.

    The toddler update was a huge update so while it might have worked before, it could put it over the edge now.

    Did you have the same cc on your other computer ?

  • Sorry for the confusion, I was meaning to say a different computer in the sims game. I've only ever played sims on my laptop.

    Is there a way to single out what cc it is in particular?

    Thank you for the reply!

  • Thank you so much! I actually just finished doing that method and found the one pesky package that was ruining everything!

    Please let me know what cc it was! Im having the same issue and I've been trying to fix it for the last 10 hours! Would be much appreciated. Thanks
  • Sorry for such a delayed response! I've been busy with moving back into college.

    Unfortunately, I permanently deleted the file after I found out which one it was, just to be safe. I do remember the name had waffle in it? I'm not sure what it was. Waffle may be the name of the creator of whatever the item was. The file didn't say whether it was clothing or something I would be familiar with.

    I apologize I couldn't be more of a help!
