Game Crashing when Accessing Various Lots in Newcrest

EA_Cath​ 

As suggested in my previous post, I'm starting this thread for my Newcrest lot issue.

I'm having this issue as when trying to add residential lot builds in Newcrest for my latest game save.  The game crashed when trying to enter the Lookout Cookout lot and did it as well when trying with the Sandy Run lot. I don't use any CC in my game.  Have been playing in Sims 3 until Newcrest is usable again.  The newest patch did not fix this.   I have been able to add three of the game's venue lots and one residential on the Rippling Flats lot.

The main lots that crash are Sandy Run, Lookout Cookout, Hillside Highlands and Oak Alcove.  When entering build mode on these lots it fails to load and the game stops working.  It's been happening for awhile so I've gone back to playing Sims 3 while this is being sorted out.  I've tested it after the last two patches but it has not been resolved.  I do not play with any CC or mods.   Some lots I've been able to enter but when placing one of my lot builds the game crashes as well.   

About two months ago, I got a new gaming laptop but when trying to share the builds from my households to transfer to the new game save, the gallery stopped accepting lot saves but would accept individual rooms and households.  I really didn't want to have piece together my previous builds, especially the large ones.  

I hope these issues are fixed soon, so that I can get back to playing Sims 4 with the households I have lots saved for.

Thank you.

    Thanks for the info puzzlezaddict​ .   I've never preordered any of the Sims 4 packs usually due to financial reasons and time away from playing the game.  Generally I wait for the sales to make my purchases.  That's probably why I get that message.  So far there doesn't seem to be anything important to a house that is missing when it happens.

    One thing that I've also noticed when getting builds from the gallery since getting my new laptop is that even though I uncheck the boxes of the packs that I don't have, it still loads the lots that include those packs.  When I played before, the gallery would filter out the builds that included packs that I don't have.  It's not really a big deal but it makes finding the right lot to fit longer to find.  During my game play, I tend to update the homes of the 'In world' families when they start having kids or adopting horses with the Neighborhood Stories so that they have necessary cradles, bassinets, toddler beds and stalls since I don't have time to remodel the whole house.

    Happy New Year!
