Game keeps crashing in the middle of gameplay

For about 3-4 days now, my game has been crashing midway through gameplay (about 30 or so minutes, sometimes a bit longer)

I've tried repairing my game, playing on a new save (thought it was a corrupted save issue), playing without cc - nothing seems to work

Is there any way I can figure out the issue here? Can someone help me? Thanks!

  • Hi Crin,

    Thanks so much for the reply

    I followed the steps but my game still crashed anyway (except this time instead of saying "game not responding" it just crashed and brought me right to my desktop without warning)

    Are there any other steps I could take? Is there anything else I could send you?

    Please let me know!!

  • *Including the info as per a post I saw on the forums. If there's anything else you might need, please let me know

    HI @julucinda

    Let's try clean user folder approach then.

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
