Even though CC only changes appearance and adds clothing, it still functions like a mod and takes up space like one, which can cause bloating and larger save files. There's also the case that you're overloading your computer with so many mods and CC. I, stupidly, once added some hats to my game thinking I would like them, and found out I didn't, I was doing a legacy at the time and now I'm stuck with them until all of my saves that I've opened and played with those in are finished and I can take them out (or I could just take them out, but like I said, that can cause issues long-term, especially since it's at least a 10 generation legacy I'd rather not mess that up).Īs for if your game crashes on a new save (brand spanking new from the menu), then you probably have a conflicting mods or outdated mods. So once you get your mods in, try to keep them in for the duration of your saves. If you do this on a larger scale (removing whole mods that affect the game like story progression, or all of your CC) it can make those issues happen a lot faster. By taking it out, you're creating error logs that can really bog down your files causing lag and eventually cause bigger issues (like crashing). You can be causing some major issues with the other sims in your town who may have aged up into the dress or gotten changed into it by the stylist career. Think of it this way, you add a CC dress to your game, play the game for a while and decide you don't like the dress so much so you take it out. CC and mods, though everyone acts as though you can change them out easily, are very permanent parts of the game once you add them. >If an old save is being used, and you frequently change out CC or Mods that can also cause major problems. I guess we need to know more about your problem to pinpoint the source of the issue.īy 'crash' I'm assuming you've gone into an old file and played for a while prior to the game telling you 'The Sims has stopped working' right? If it only happens in old saves, you are likely just having a file bloating issue (or are in a particularly poorly routed town - like Isla Paradiso) which is causing issues with your saves.

Those are usually my go-to strategies for games. NRaas has a few great mods for keeping the game clean and long-lasting (such as Overwatch to clean the cars up and Errortrap to watch for stuck sims/aging stuck sims as well as unnecessary copies).

Depending on your system you may have overloaded your Sims a bit.
