For crashes that can occur in The Sims games itself, see Game crash. A Crash To Desktop (or CTD) is a computer program crash which is said to occur when a program (especially a video game) unexpectedly quits, abruptly taking the user back to the desktop. Usually, the term is applied only to. Game keeps crashing. This is the first problem I've ever encountered with TS4. I really enjoy the game but lately every time I go to play it stops working after 10.

Rename Saves
Go to the Documents folder in the User’s library. There you find a file named [Saves]. You can find this file in the ..Electronic ArtsSims 4 location. Rename that file with some different name, and then re-create a new file with the original name.
Remove Household Items
