Game keeps crashing (different occasions)

Hello everyone! :)

sadly my Game is kind of unplayable for more than a week now.

First it was crashing a lot when traveling or placing lots (when i wanted to travel, it went on the loadingsscreen and then just crashed after  a few seconds; when placing lots, it was randomly, sometimes after 1 , other times i could place 4-5) until it didnt even start anymore (i got stuck on the loadingscreen after the white SIMS/EA Screen).

I have tried vanilla testing (crashing sill happened here as well) , folder refresh, uninstalled the game and the app. After the folder refresh/game repair, it worked for a little while. So slowly I redid all my mods (checked exactly when the release/update has been etc).  It worked for a little, a few hours. After that, there was another issue:  i wanted to change my sims (mother & child) used: cas.fulleditmode and went into CAS (with MCC), changing them wasnt an issue, when i safed and wanted to go back into the game, i got into the loadingscreen for a few seconds and it crashed again.  I have tried going into cas from the world to change househould, the same happened (with and without "cas.fulleditmode, with and without MCC). After it happened a few times again, my game wouldnt load/start at all anymore (crashed on the blue loading again). Soooo I did all the steps again, re-installed, repaired, vanilla etc. now i got a few mods back bit by bit (again) and tested after almost every mod/cc i added, game loads again, but the crash after editing in CAS still happens.

I am super frustrated with it, especially after trying so many different things. On top of the above mentioned things I have also tried:  I tried graphics card changes (updated drivers, tried to run it from NVIDIA and Intel, firewall/defender check ups (if anything might block it), starting in dx9 version..

I have been reading and searching in the forum and almost tried everything that I have found. 

I really would appreciate any kind of ideas/help! 

  • I am having the same issue. When I go to the world map, I am able to select a lot to visit, but as soon as I hit "ok" my game crashes. Hopefully we get something to fix this soon.

  • Lunosca  Your dxdiag lists a few crashes of the graphics driver, so please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the driver, as described here:

    Please test with no mods or custom content at first, and only start adding back the content when you're sure the game is stable without it.

    crystal_gurl17  If you have mods or custom content, does it help to remove the Mods folder?  You don't need to save your progress.

    If that doesn't help, or you don't use mods or cc, please try to create a new save and let me know whether it works properly.

    BlueBoatWithSam  Please provide more information about the context of the crashes, and please do test without mods or custom content.
