Sims crashes after newest update

Since the newest update (29th of April 2025) the game keeps crashing after a few minutes. Dont use CC or Mods and never have in the recent save file. Played before the update and everything was fine.

    copying from my other comment-

    What I did is go into the "saves" folder of the save that kept crashing and first removed the file ending in ".save."

     I then picked the most recent ".save.ver(insert number) backup file which is ".save.ver0" (but you can choose any of them) and removed the ".ver0" part of the file name and it then converted into a save file type.  Doing that loaded it back to the second most recent save state and it worked fine for me so I didn't really lose any progress but you may or not have to try with the other versions if that one doesn't work.

    Same. Looks like we are defintely going to need a patch as nothing works. Uninstalling, repairing or removing mods.

    Update: Yeah so after going through the forum, I was seeing people go into the Sims 4 folder and removing their saves, miraculously it worked! However, when I tried to put my saves back in the folder it crashes. So not only did I have to remove my saves, I had to COMPLETELY rid them all, mind you I didn’t put any of my families on my gallery, now I have to start ALLL over, thanks a lot EA for that amazing update! 😁

    Unfortunately this solution didn't work for me, only when I deleted my whole save file the game opened ):
