Dear Crin,
I am having the same problems as Lloria and have followed the same steps (deleting my cache data, deleting my saves, and getting rid of CC) and now I am trying to follow your step, however I do not know what/where the "complete user folder" is. These problems started accuring for me after I installed the "Get Together" expansion pack. 😞 Thanks for your help, Oliver.
Basically this (factory reset): 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.
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)
- 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.
Dear Crin,
Thanks so much for the help. I had to completely wipe my sims 4 game and repair it through origin but a fresh game is better than none! Thanks so much for the help and sorry I didn't write back sooner, I have been really busy this holiday season. Happy New Year and I wish you all the best in 2016.
From. Oliver.
Thank you for your feedback
