Sims 4 crash when clicking on custom content in gallery . Update 1.62

Hi

My sims 4 keeps crashing when clicking on custom content box in gallery, it does this from opening gallery at the home screen before loading/creating a new game. Also does this in CAS of an existing game.

Please help

  • @LolamarieOdunsi Do you have CC enabled or are you trying to enable it when it crashes ?

    Have you tried moving your mods/cc folder to the desktop and deleting the localthumbcache file to see if the crashing stops ?
  • @crinricthey thanks for your response.

    Yes ive just tried that, no success.

    Mods and cc are already enabled, i just go to the game as per normal and go to CAS, go to the gallery, click on my library and then my households, then i also click to include custom content households and then it crashes.

    I have tried this like 4 or 5 times, haven't ever experienced a problem like this before.

    Your assistance is appreciated, thank you

    Hi @LolamarieOdunsi 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
