Re: Game Keeps Crashing After About 20 Minutes of Gameplay

@puzzlezaddict Hi, I did as you asked. In Create-A-Sim I've noticed the FPS would fluctuate and settle at 170 a lot of the time. For regular gameplay, I've seen 112 to 135 sometimes higher, and as you mentioned while playing, lower when I move the camera around and settle at 117 FPS or 116 PS. My laptop doesn't get excessively hot while playing though. It heats up but not to a point where my laptop would close the game and go into recovery mode until it cools down. I do have it set up to perform on Turbo mode which helps the system and fans in my laptop adapt to how much cooling the system needs. Please let me know if there is anything else you need on the matter.

    @Dustodawn Did the game crash while you were testing in the clean folder?  If it did, try playing in a clean boot:

    When you reboot, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running, including any Asus software you see.  A number of programs will still run in a clean boot, for whatever reason.

    @puzzlezaddict I didn't check to see if it was as I was just trying to relax and play games on Sunday. I ended up closing the game but I will try to see if it crashes sometime this week since I work full time and only have time during the weekends to try and get this fixed. I sincerely thank you for your help and will let you know once I have tried it when I want to play again.

    @puzzlezaddict Hey, thank you so much for your help. I troubleshot my game and found out that it wasn't the base game giving me problems. In my frustration, I discounted the fact that some lingering mods could be the issue and went through and found the culprits. They're now removed from my game. It was the LittleMsSam's Pregnancy Overhaul Mod, LittleMsSam's RBF Elevator Fix mod, and the KS - Education Bundle Mod that was causing my game to immediately close. I'm going to troubleshoot it some more next weekend and make sure it works without a problem in the game. I hope this can help anyone as well. But I'm marking this one as solved.

    @Dustodawn  Yeah, I thought that might be the case, which is why I suggested playing in a clean user folder with nothing added to it.

    Glad you got it fixed.
