Large Save Crash

[velham6]

Has anyone else experienced a crash caused by a save file being too large? My game crashes so often that it's been rendered unplayable - just the one save...my primary that I started September 2014. The problems began shortly after installing Spooky Stuff, though I doubt that the pack itself is the issue.

Most crashes happen when Sims try to travel, when I try to save anything (eg., a lot to my library, a new save file), when launching, and other random "The Sims 4 has stopped working" crashes. I play a lot of households rotationally; almost all are descendant from my the Sim I created on the first day (the multiple birth glitch resulted in large families). I have all packs, no cc, no mods, and my save file is over 75K KB. The problem is not insufficient computer memory (DxDiag available).

I have a query in to the Sims 4 Forum and on the EA Help site but have yet to try a fix that works. I have created a new game (now only about 4K KB) and it works fine, but I fear as my save grows I'll experience the same problem. I do have files (a .zip copy of my save, a DxDiag) saved on Dropbox - if anyone wants to take a gander, I can provide the link.

Thank you in advance.

I have experienced crashing due to large save files, and saved games that I've played for a long time. Large game saves are known to have issues. Plus the longer you play a saved game the more issues you will have.

I don't think there is a fix for it, that I know of. You can try a Save As and a factory reset - if you haven't tried that before to see if that helps. But other than that, there may not be much that can be done.

However, you can try the tips listed in this thread to see if any help.

Thank you. I have not yet tried clearing the Origin cache, so I may try that when I get home.

Much appreciated.
