Hi. My Sims 4 game crashed today - not sure why, but it may have something to do with Origin being unavailable? Lost 3 hours of gameplay. I can live with that.
However, I have tried at least 15 times to resume playing the household, and it will not load. I cannot get past the plumbob and the game hints. I get a message that The Sims has stopped responding and Windows closes it. This is my favorite household, so I would really appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide.
I can get into the lot via Manage Worlds and sneaking in to Build that way, but I can't actually get in to play the game.
Thanks,
Jennifer.
If you close down the game completely and restart and then start a new game for testing purposes, does that load ?
If so, you might wanna try a backup: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/backups/

Hello again. I shut down my computer, restarted, played another lot, and then returned to the one that wouldn't load. Now I get past the plumbob and game hints, and the lot loads. However, now if I try to Save or play for longer than about 3 minutes, I get a message that the game has stopped working and that Windows is closing the program. This problem is happening on multiple lots. Could it be a size issue? I don't even know what the possibilities are for Windows to read the program as not working, even when it seems to be.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jennifer.

Did you try a new save game to see if it's the save game or a general issue ?

Hi Crin. I played a new game for awhile, then that one started crashing. Someone else suggested it might be my driver, so I updated that today and will play for a couple of days to see if the issue repeats or if updating the driver solves the issue.
Thanks,
Jennifer.

@Jennifer4Sims how much free space on your system (c) drive?

Hi Roberta591. It's a new (to me) computer, so it was wiped and is mostly empty. I've got 182 GB free.
Thanks,
Jennifer.
