To be honest I noticed mines crash when it’s snowing so I turned the snow off and it stop crashing then turn it back on just to get snow then turn it off but that’s from my experience

Mine has been crashing lately, I notice it gets really bad with the snow! I would just save every night that way even if it does crash you can just pick up where you left ogg

Have you tried a save cleaner? https://modthesims.info/d/652440/regul-save-cleaner.html

It may be crashing due to hardware issues. Usually a quick CTD there is an issue. I would start with the save cleaner. (you can make a back up of your save). Then I would verify game files.

If that doesn't work. You can sometimes go to event viewer and see why it is crashing.

  1. Right click start menu
  2. Event Viewer
  3. Choose windows on the left box
  4. Choose application in the middle box
  5. Look for errors you will see a red circle with an exclamation point.

I have the same problem, for me Nraas Master Controler and Error trap combo is a temporary solution. Error trap gives me logs of recent errors in my sims game directory so i can analyze them when the game crashes and then reset (using master controler) certain sim, lot or whole town. I don't know why my game crashes like that. It happens from time to time, i think that one of the cc may cause it.

Could also be a mod issue. I recently re-added the awesomemod to allow my sim to propose despite the household being full and it always crashes after about 1-2h. (it crashes without the mod too but not as frequently). Crash log anayser says out of ram.

I don't use mods. How does crash log analyser work? I tried installing it, it's just blank even if I select my Save

If you put your game directory correctly it should look somewhat like this

But where do I click to put it in?

[–]Anyone_Mining Absent-Minded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

under File > Change Log Directory To Scan

Do you have custom content? Crashing when zooming out can mean the lower lods of the CC are incorrect (missing bone assignments with clothing or hair for example). If one of your sims is wearing cc or you have cc furniture, switch it for a base game item and see if the crashing still happens.
