It really is an odd set of circumstances.
I do play with CC, but I’ve updated every mod I have and I’ve done the 50-50 method several times now.
I’ve gotten to the point of troubleshooting where I’m blaming the weirdest things so now I’m on to thinking my keyboard is an issue…only because I bought a new one (wireless, not particularly high end) around the same time my game started crashing.
Last night I did the 50-50 method again, and of course I wasn’t able to trigger a crash. The only difference in gameplay? I wasn’t using my keyboard to move around like I normally do. I rather let the game play out with minimal interference but I did use my mouse to make my sim travel to several lots as that can usually trigger a crash.
I did run memory diagnostics and everything came back 100% and I’m not having any issues with other games I play so I’m really at a loss.
For what it’s worth, I also “uninstalled” For Rent. I guess I’m just going to have to focus on another game at this point!
@mskellyanne0 Please do test more without any mods or custom content. I know it's difficult to pinpoint the source of error when crashes are completely random, but you may be able to speed it up as far as cc is concerned by forcing sims to wear the clothing and hair you're testing, and placing the Build/Buy items. A lot of cc isn't a problem until it's being used. That can also explain random crashes: an inactive sim might show up in the zone wearing a broken item and cause a crash before you even see the sim.
Given everything else you've tried, bad mods or cc is the most obvious suspect here. Even updated or cleared items aren't always fine—you're trusting that the creator is paying attention to every update and skilled enough to be absolutely sure the items in question are compatible with the current game version. A lot can slip through the cracks, and it's happened to talented modders too.
