I heard I'm not the only one with this problem after the update.

    @Julia041219 Yes, the question marks are quite common but I repairing usually works. Did it not work for you ?
  • I've exactly the same problem... Cant do anything besides create a family... 

  • @crinrict Yeah... (I already created a post about it)
    I've already tried all the methods described.. and the game still crashes..
    This time I was able to play for like 5 minutes, was cooking and bam. The game crahses.. And it din't gave me any error.
  • I can relate, my main problem is that endless plumbob loading, it doesn't allow me to play at all, I guess is a problem caused by the last update, I hope that they will fix it. I can play 5 minutes like you and then the game crash.

    @Julia041219  Have you tried repairing the game yet?  I saw from the other thread you posted in that disabling Origin's web helper service didn't fix the problem, but a repair is still worth trying.

    If that doesn't help, please remove your entire Sims 4 game folder from Documents\Electronic Arts; you can put it on your desktop.  Start a new save, just for testing, and play for a bit.  Let me know how it runs.

    If you get the same crashing with the test save, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    Hi, I also tried to remove the "The sims 4" folder and start a new game, but I still have this problem. I just tried the clean boot suggested by EA, I will let you know if the game woks again. I didn't repair the game yet, I will try on Monday when I go in my father's office, in my home I use my simcard connection, I would use all of my cellphone gigabyte if I repair my game here, btw on Monday I will let you know if I solved the problem after repairing the game. Thank you so much for your help !
