Last exceptions (again)
After this month's (April 2020) update I keep getting the usual last exceptions. This time, however, when I try to use "LastExceptionAssistant" online it says "unknown error", which means it can't re...

@DonroaAkashu Too much time has passed, but life happens and this year has been pretty terrible and it has been so for me and my family too (due to covid and other problems...). Now, what I would like to try for my game is completely reinstalling The Sims 4 and my packs/exps (since I have finally changed my connection's provider and it's way faster now).
I have a couple of questions before proceeding though. Do I need to keep my saves and tray files aside even with my LEs issues? Will my packs and expansions be automatically installed even though some were purchased in a store (e.g. I have Get To Work in CD format) and some digitally through EA's wallet?
Thank you in advance.

@Gaarel Any packs you own in Origin should be available to reinstall, for free. It doesn't matter whether you bought them in a store or directly from Origin. You can double-check that they show as owned in your Origin library first if you want. When installing the base game, you'll be asked whether you want to install your packs, and if not, you can choose to install them later. Origin will also probably try to download them the first or second time you launch the game, even if you disable auto game updates.
As for saves and Tray files, whether you need to set them aside depends on whether you want your previous content to be available after you reinstall. If you'd like to start fresh, just delete the Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts. If you want to preserve your old saves, move the Sims 4 folder elsewhere, let the game create a new one after you've reinstalled, and then move the save files to the new folder. The same goes for the contents of Tray.
- @puzzlezaddict Thank you for your reply. I just wanted to be sure (when asking about tray files and saves) because I've been experiencing last exceptions after a specific update (June 2019) and I was (I still am, actually) worried about the possibility that the same saves may corrupt my game and throw LEs again. But I can't "stand still" and don't want to wait any longer. So I'll try to reinstall and use my current save. Thank you again!
@Gaarel If you get any LEs they are important, and lets us know what the issue could be. Please attach them to your comment.
Good evening. After reinstalling I have not experienced any issue/Last Exception...except for (sorry for the pun) a brand new LE occured two days ago. I know it's "old" but it is completely different from the previous ones I have encountered and I am rather curious to understand what it could be, especially because I play with tons of cc and one of the objects/clothes could be the cause (despite I am not sure since my past problems were NOT cc/mods related as reinstalling the game has proved).
