Re: Sims 4 crashing in build mode since latest update + Reaper's Rewards are bugged

Hi! I cannot find the items in build mode. Tried searching boney and it didn't show up.

For the crashing, it doesn't matter. Any item seems to crash the game at some point. Have had that happen in different lots and saves too. I've attached the dxdiag below.

Thanks!! 🙂

I am having the same issue, it does not matter what lot i am using or how small the build or changes made are, any attempt to return to manage worlds after entering buildmode causes the main screen to go black while still displaying the games frame (ie the items menu and build mode buttons) and any attempt to close out other than through task manager does not work. The game worked normally on Monday, but by Wednesday it was crashing as described above. As far as im aware I did not update the game in-between so im unsure why this is occuring

@Ajade_x  For the crashing, please try forcing the game to run in DirectX 11 mode.  Open your EA App game library, click Sims 4 > Manage > View properties, and enter -dx11 in the command line box.

For the missing items, I double-checked my game, and the boneys are under Decorations > Misc, and they do show up in a search.  I'm not sure why you can't find them, but as a test, please move accountDataDB.package to the desktop.  It's in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  Don't delete it though—if it's broken, as in, removing it and letting the game generate a new one fixes the issue, I'd love a copy to poke at myself.  If you're willing, please upload it to a third-party filesharing site (e.g. Google Drive) and link it here.

If you still can't see the item, please repair the game and test again, still with no mods or custom content present.

@techturndudebro  Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Hi! So for the crashing, running the game in dx11 worked!🙂

I only played for about 30 mins but no crashing. Just to double check, I went back and removed the command and sure enough, game crashed in build mode almost instantly. Thanks a lot! Any idea why that might happen?

And for the missing items, both generating a new accountDataDB.package and reparing the game did not help. Also something I've just noticed is that weirdly enough I cannot see the boneys, but I can find the grimaphone.

you saved my kitchens. Now i can build top shelfs, before it just crashed the game if i wanted to place them. Thank youuuu . So so so much ! ❤️

I am having the same problem. All my drivers are up to date and yet build mode is still crashing even when changing lots. What's going on? :(
