Sims 4 crashing after entering household

Recently, I installed sims 4 Discover University and went to play the game when I couldn’t enter my household. It crashes and doesn’t even tell me what’s wrong with the issue. When I enter CAS everything is perfectly fine it’s only entering my household or moving in sims. I’ve removed my CC, Repaired my game, and Updated my game. Still keeps crashing.

    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.

    If this doesn't help, could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

    I have the same problem now...

    I have no origin.

    I'm playing mods, but its weird that if I play full new game (With mod) its running normally, no crash.

    But when I replace my saves, the crash is come back... What should I do?

    @hellgirl0904 What do you mean by you have no Origin ? Origin will always run in the background if you play the game.

    Could be something about the save ? Is it all your saves ?
