Game crashing in build mode: PC

Every time I'm in build mode the game crashes. I have tried everything from updating graphics drivers, clearing cache, removing mods, and even completely reinstalling the game (losing 8 years of game progress). I double checked and all my computer specs are well above the game requirements. It doesn't happen immediately when I go into build mode, sometimes I'll be able to build for up to 30 minutes then it'll crash. What else can I do?

  • CreepyAlpaca​  Sorry for the late reply.  If you still need help, please let me know whether this happens in a new save, in one of the base game worlds, with a default EA-made build or a blank lot, nothing from the Gallery.  If that's fine, you can try a Gallery build or another world.

    If you get another crash, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    It happens everywhere. New save, blank lot, existing lot, every world. It doesn't make a difference where I'm building. It'll freeze up and the only way to get out is by using task manager. 

    I'll do that when it crashes again. 

    Thank you!
