game crashing after installing eco living

i'm having the same crashing issue as many other people, after the updates and installing Eco Living. I was able to create a family and move them into a home. One of my Sims traveled to a different lot. When I try to return home, the game crashes. Black screen and then it shuts down. 

I tried to reload my other Sim that's still on the home lot, and it won't even load the game before crashing. I can load the Sim on the non-home lot, but when I try to travel home, it crashes again. 

I have no CC, no mods.

  • @slerette82994  Does a new save crash, or just this one?  Please test if you haven't already.

    And if you get an error code, please post a screenshot of it.

    I am having similar issues. I was playing with a sim at the university and all of a sudden she couldn't attend classes. Nothing happened. So I saved and exited to main menu to try and reload the save and see if that fixed the problem. 

    After that, it would crash every time I tried to reload that game. I created a new game and I am able to exit out and reload that save with no problem. It's just the game that I have invested a bunch of time into that is affected, it seems. There is no code error. I attempted to repair the game with the origin tool without any success.

    Any suggestions? 

  • I'm also having this problem.

    My game crashes when I boot up the game, go into the neighborhood, and try to play my household.

    I followed this advice, and so far, my game is working again without crashing. I will post again if the crashes continue, but I think this has fixed it! Thank you!

    @fathomsealskin  Please go into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4, right-click on the saves folder and select Copy, then right-click on the desktop and select Paste.  This way, you'll havea backup of all your saves in case you need it later.

    Next, try manually recovering a backup save, as described here:

    Let me know whether it works.
