Hello all, So I don't know if this has happened to any of you or if it's the new patch, but my game keeps crashing when my pregnant sim gives birth and names it (click ok to name and then game crashes). I haven't tried aging up a sim and I tried a new pregnancy post-patch install and the same thing is happening!? Has this happened to anyone else today after the new patch? I only have some cc, no mods. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Do you have any mods or CC (custom content)? Try taking that out.See this for more information: [PLEASE READ] Usage of Mods and Custom Content If that isn't the issue, could you post a DxDiag?Please follow this how to on how to gather your DxDiag. You can post the DxDiag by attaching it to your next reply.Don't paste it directly into your answer, because that won't fit.

Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/You can attach the txt file to your post directly.

My game has been doing this as well. At first I thought it was a bad piece of cc but it crashes without any mods in it. I just want to play the game and have a toddler. They need to fix this bug asap.

Um. They aren't that old. I'm looking at the exact same diagnostic I sent you in my last reply, and while the hardware is that old, the drivers themselves were last updated just earlier this month, and are far more recent than their 2012 versions. And in any case, I really don't feel that this kind of problem would be caused by something as simple as an outdated graphics driver. Thank you for trying to provide a helpful suggestion. I really appreciate the attempt to help, given this situation is getting increasingly frustrating and I honestly just want to play my game. But it's not exactly helpful to suggest that someone update something that's already fully up to date, and it's a bit alienating to be glossed over when stating that system specs aren't actually at fault here given it had already been thoroughly tested and checked... ☹️

Hopefully someone else can provide you with help then.

Like, I genuinely thank you for trying to help. It's just no one seems to know what's causing this to actually provide sufficient help.

Because with or without mods, it was happening. With fully updated system specs, it was happening. With having repaired the game and all my DLC for it, it was happening. With having fully uninstalled and re-installed the game, it was happening.

I don't know why it was happening, and honestly no one else seems to, either. Especially given all the advice that I've seen given out to fix it so far is all stuff that everyone's already been trying and just hasn't been helping/working.

All I know for sure right now is that it was happening after the toddler update, and that after a fifth re-installation it's now suddenly running just fine.

Hopefully others with this issue will have better luck than having to aggravatingly re-install their game five freaking times.

I am having the same issue. I do manage to get my babies home. The I get blinking words "Text Field". I did discover I need to update MC Command center, and I haven't tried since updating that. It is concerning. I know it isn't my system. My computer is a a msi GA65 Stealth with a GForce GTX 16 series.

Hi @Teachergotgame,
