In this guide, we will take a detailed look at the most common causes of the problem and how to fix them.
The Game Crash [Fixed]
Short Advice
Many, many, many mods can cause this. There’s a high chance that what causes it for you isn’t the same as for someone else.
Have you tried restarting EA app, clearing EA app cache, and repairing the Sims?
All of those need to be done in the app, but you could try opening task manager and ending the EA tasks.
- Ctrl+Alt+Delete -> Task manager
- Click on the name of the thing you wanna close down then at the top itll show close task.
- You can also download EA app installed and repair the app.
If you’re getting a message that the game is already running, after you do a Task Manager stop and restart, try turning background processes off in the app settings.
The last short advice
I had the exact same problem to initialize my game, a did a bunch of tutorials and nothing was working, so I decided to open the game by its official app file (u can find it on the bin folder inside the game folder) and it fixed my problem 100%. But first, try the file’s verification on steam (I did it too before everything), cause sometimes it fixes the bugs in general.
Step by Step
Game crashes/endlessly loads before main menu
- Delete your Cache file. Also delete the scratch folder in your saves folder if there is one.
- Remove all your mods and test without them.
- Make sure your computer meets the minimum specs. Be aware that they increase if you are using lots of packs, mods/CC.
Game loads endlessly when trying to load a save game
- Remove all your mods and test without them.
- Use the load button instead of resume and see if the save loads this way. If it does, test other lots than your regular family to see if they load.
Game crashes/endlessly loads reproducible when loading a certain household/lot
- Remove all your mods and test without them.
- Move out the family and test if you can visit the lot or enter in build mode when it’s just the lot. Also test your family on a different lot/save.
- Sometimes the game throws last Exceptions while you trying to load. These give an indication on what’s broken.
