Forever-lasting loading screen

[Ijzabela]

Every time I tell my sims to "change appearance" or "plan outfit", the game gets stuck in the loading screen and it will just load forever. I always have to open the task manager and close the game down. I have no other problems with the game. I read somewhere that keeping the cheats on could make the game crash and such, but I haven't noticed any difference. It always happens when I choose these actions, no matter what. So, why is this happening and how can I stop it? I guess I could just never do those things, but I'd still like to know why it happens.

Have you added any cc?  Since your crashes seem CAS related that could be a cause.

[Ijzabela]

No, I don't use CC.

Hi Ijzabela,

You could try deleting the cache files to see if that would help. Here's a link that can help with that.

Hope this helps,

Also, see if it still happens if you start the game with Origin offline.

Seems like clearing the cache did it, even though it was only a couple of files. Thank you for the replies, everyone!
