Sims Keep Freezing and I feel like I've done everything!!
Hey sorry I've never used this forum before so I'm not sure what I'm doing. My sims keep freezing within thirty seconds of starting my game. They will go to do an action but then just freeze and can't complete the action, even though the little green circle surrounding the action is full. Once they're at this state they can't fulfill any other commands.
I've removed all cc. Even Turned off the option for custom content. Reinstalled the app. Validated the files through steam. I'm trying to move the entire Sims 4 File to my desktop, but it stays in quick start no matter what i do so I'm not sure how to get rid of it. (I'm not very computer savvy whatsoever).
Also, i have a bunch of files that I don't think belong in the general sims 4 file, like "lastexception", but I'm not sure. I had some mod with the name last exception so maybe it has to do with that. I'm not sure what a clean, new sims 4 folder looks like, so I don't know if these files belong. Maybe they are causing the issues since I've totally emptied the mods folder.
Anyways, it's been multiple days now and I feel I've done everything and it's frustrating me beyond belief!
I ended up saving the household and the lot to my library from my old save file and bringing it to a different save (the new one that I started in my blank game). Using the same exact sims and same exact house, the issue went away- just uploaded from my library after saving it myself (so it technically isn't the exact same household).
The pausing/freezing isn't an issue with this clean Sims 4 folder, although when I transferred that old save over and tried to play it, it was.No big deal though, as long as I could play and I couldn't tell the difference I don't mind. I guess it was something wrong with that save specifically. I had been using it for a while and never made new ones when I moved onto new households.
I also moved most of my mods over except the scripts, and reinstalled the only few script mods I wanted, so I know they're up to date now if they weren't previously. After adding all my cc back, that didn't cause any issue.
Thank you so much for your help, as I wouldn't have even been able to move my stuff over and play the game without figuring out how to get a clean slate.
