Game crashing after build/buy mode

After the wonderful /s update from the sims, I cannot even play anymore. My game will load and let me load into it, but once in build/buy mode and or attempting to play my sims, the game stops working and crashes; I have to force close the sims with my task manager because of it. Really upset, the sims 3 would never.

  • @GoddessLesbian  As a test, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, ia clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and let me know how it runs.

    Please use only default EA-made lots and sims, nothing from the Gallery.

    If you get another crash, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    As a side note, I love Sims 3 as much as anyone, but it absolutely would, and it has, and it still does.
