Sims 4 City Living Lagging

Since downloading Sims 4 City Living expansion pack I have been unable to actually play in the city! It continuously lags and crashes each time I enter the map to play. 👎 All other maps/worlds are fine and run smoothly.

I have lowered graphics, no cc or mods, repaired the game, new sims 4 folder, I seem to have done everything possible! If anyone has any other ways I can fix this please share! I'm a bit annoyed I have paid for this and I have yet to be able to play it ☹️

p.s. I don't know if this helps but it tends to be when the day changes or if my sim is in the city, not in specific locations.

    Those are exception files with reference to the pose player. Do you still have that in ?

    Just looked and yes it was still in there. (can't believe I didn't see it before...🤨 silly me!) Removed it and the game seems to be working so far. Thank you for all of your help! ❤️ Maybe it was conflicting with something! anyway, thank you for your help and time

    Glad it worked

    Check if there's an updated version you could use.

    QUICK UPDATE: It seemed that the 1,000+ tray items in my "Sims 4" folder were causing lag as well! I removed my "Sims 4" folder and in turn when I started the game up it automatically created a new, empty one. Everything reset, including graphics, which now has enabled me to play well! No lagging, FINALLY!

    I am now enjoying Sims 4 City Living without the worry of the game crashing.

    (just to note this did mean I lost all of my saves - which I could have copied and pasted back into the new folder - but I didn't mind this as I did not play on any of them anymore)👍

    Yeah, that's a bit much

    Just upload the Sims you want to keep to the gallery or save the tray folder to a different location on your hard drive, then delete everything you don't want through the library.
