ThrifTea Shop Causing Crashes

I'm having problems with traveling to ThrifTea shop causing errors. I think it might be something to do with the poetry night event. 

I was normally traveling and then suddenly my game came with an error asking me to restart. I had repaired my game and kept trying to load in, but it seemed like my sim was stuck in travel limbo.

 I had to made a temp sim to add to household and force the sim back to the lot, apon loading, my original was just sitting on the computer. I bulldozed the shop and the temp sim and all seemed well but when I tried adding the shop back by copying it from another save my game crashed apon loading from the main menu.

Any idea why this is happening? I do not have any CC installed and removed all folders from the game files regarding this.

 

  • I've been having that exact error. I had, admittedly, installed mods, but that was years ago and the folders were empty when I looked in them. I have already done the hassle of trouble shooting all CC related issues and it still threw me this error. I have not replaced the shop back and am just playing in the save without. Other saves from 2023 seem to work fine. Seems more recent saves have this issue I believe...

  • I have the same problem! I do have CC installed though but this started happening since the last patch. Even after repairing, bulldozing and replacing the lot the same thing happens, taking out all the CC it sitll happens. I don't have a solution yet but  you're not alone.

  • I'm having the same problem too- Not matter day to event is going on, if I try to go to the ThrifTea shop my game just gets stuck on the loading screen and I have to forec quit the game. I have no CC and it's only started since I've updated. 

  • Glad to know I'm not the only one, at least. The last game patch was just savage, so many bugs. I've tried to travel to ThrifTea both with and without CC, both cases throw the same exception and game freezes, as you described. Here's an screenshoot with the error code. 
    I play in spanish, but the message translated to english says "The game could not be loaded. Error code: 123:fflec833:362d10e9. It is recommended to restart the game."

     

  • I'm having this same error; error message when I try to travel to ThriftTea.  the game goes from the loading screen to an error message on the world screen.  So far, my game is okay as long as I don't try to visit the lot but the store has a yellow triangle over it when I hover my mouse over it.  I don't have any mods or cc and this started after the last update.  I have repaired the game twice so I hope there is a fix soon.

  • So, hi, me again. I bring you bad news and kind of "good" news too.

    Bad news first: The bug (or a similar one) is happening with another community lot type too (Bar). At first, I thought it was rather awkward because I had successfully visited a Disco and another Bar in the same save file.

    But then I realized I didn't travel to the Bar the first time (when it didn't crash). It was a residential lot and I changed the lot type after the Sims arrived.

    So... "good" news: the error didn't occur when I entered to edit the lot type, nor when I changed it a second time with Sims visiting!

    For now, if you want to play with ThrifTea or other bugged lots, I'd suggest doing this: change the lot type to one that has no conflict (like a residential lot) and change it back after traveling. I've tested this a few times and it seems to be okay. But of course, copy your save files just in case, lol.

    Besides that, this error code is different; it might be pointing to another lot type or something like that.

    What MitziWho says about the save files date is even stranger, but it might be interesting to test too. I don't know if I have a save file older than this year, but it might be worth trying.

    I just got this same error message. I think its when you try to travel option in the phone. I was able to fix it by clicking on her lot from maps view and clicking visit so she could go back to her lot than traveling by pressing the m key on the keyboard.

      Interesting, it might be a slightly different case, because I only travel using 'm' on the keyboard and it happened anyway. I'm still trying to figure out how they messed it up that much. xD
      Is there a new lot type in the EP, or something like that? I mean, when CAS and the trait panel crashed for me, it wasn't justified either but at least it was kinda understandable because they added features to those parts, but regarding lot types and the travel action?! xD

    Most 123 Errors have been fixed.

    If you still experience this error code, please create a new thread.

    Make sure to post the first two parts of the number. They are relevant to distinguish between issues.

  • Having the same issue on console, so...no CC installed. I had to use another playable family to force my sims there, then back home.  I tried to download a different shop from the gallery but it does the same. My game has crashed consistently after the update and I never have issues playing on console. 

  • Just had the same thing happen to me in my game; tried to take my teen sim to Thriftea, got that same error suggesting I restart. I had the triangle above the lot, it's got no CC in it. :(
