Game Crashing (CC Related)
« on: December 25, 2021, 03:24:02 PM »
Hi! Hello!

I installed the game yesterday for the first time in years, since I got a new computer and I wanted to experience it with nice specs. It's all new and fresh form the factory, with a new savefile to re-experience the game.

So I don't know if it's the fact that I started impregnating every sim in the neighbourhood one after another or what, but after a bunch of hours of the game working perfectly it just started crashing all the time. It lasted like 6 hours and then it's started to crash every 10 minutes or so.  It doesn't chug or anything, the game works nice and smooth and suddently it's gone. No freezing, no weirdness, no warning whatsoever.

I've done everything for the game to work as smoothly as possible, every recommended mod, every tweak, everything created by modders and fans to make the game run better but towards the end of my impregnation campaign, when my sim was about to become an elder, it just gave up on life. I started another save to see if it was a game issue and I played for 30 minutes without an issue so it's this specific savefile. I know people do 100 babies challanges so I'm not sure it's an overpopulation issue (I only have 25 kiddoes total) but it just seems the most likely reason, considering how fast the file went bad.

Although I remember that right before the crashings started the park had an issue where the bathroom was inaccessible, as if it were a neighbours household (it's Sunset Valley's main park, with the tiny two-room bathrooms somewhere in a corner). I forced it to open with Nraas and still couldn't use anything within the walls so I returned it to it's weird inaccessible state because the camera was acting funny. I don't know how or why that happened and if it could have anything to do with the crashes.

I don't mind giving the save up but I don't want the issue to repeat. Does anyone have a clue about what might have happened?

Thank you for pointing out that you tried a new test save and it's going well.

That leads me to beleive it is something within that save file. What glitched to make it crash I don't know.

However, if you have Nraas Master Controller, try Reset Everything.

Selected Sim > Nraas > City Hall > MasterController > Town > Reset Everything

Make sure there's not a lot in Sim's personal and family inventories, as that can cause issues.

Get rid of objects from the whole town -
City Hall > Nraas > MC > Town > Object Stats > Global

If you have any error reports from Nraas ErrorTrap or Overwatch, please share them over at Nraas as they can help with those. :)

Hi! Thanks for replying ^,^

I tried the reset and it still crashed within minutes. I couldn't find the object stats option so I couldn't try that one, though. But I guess I'll just start a new game and if that one dies early too I'll try new things.
I didn't think to take out the mods folder where I dumped my old stuff 'cause back when I played years ago it never caused me any problems but if I have more issues I'll check into that as well and go full vanilla then go from there.

I'm really hoping it'll be just a first unlucky run and new saves will live long and prosper, though Y,Y.


Nvm I found it, it's the CC. Took it all out save for NRaas stuff, the game worked for 20 minutes without issue. Put it back in, it crashed within the minute.
I'll just start the fun process of hunting down the piece causing issues... ** it.

I'm happy to hear you were able to find what was causing the issue. We have a post linked below that can help with fixing problems with custom content and mods.

I'm sorry, I didn't share the full path to finding objects stats to help clearing inventories.
