Save file I put hours into is now unplayable

I had it crash after create a sim but it thankfully saved the sim I made. I put them in a house and played and just saved a lot since it would crash randomly every now and then but it was still fun and I really was loving it. Now a couple sim days into the game and my dog gets home from work and it crashes. I reload and try again about five times now but every time he gets home it crashes and since I last saved while he was at work it is now unplayable. I'm really hoping with enough negative reviews EA will actually fix it but I know what kind of company they are and plan on getting a refund from them until these issues are fixed.

Evict the household and move them back in. This sort of crash was common on all releases of the game and is difficult to diagnose, but you can fix it easy. Just "reload' the family, essentially.

There is no universe where every single bug was going to be fixed. That's not how games work, ever.

I have a very similar issue, pet returns home from job and the game crashes.

This appears to be a new bug, I can not find any mention of this problem commonly in previous versions of the game. My guess, is that something to-do with the patches EA have applied to things like memory use, has caused this problem.

If anyone finds a solution, please post here.

I am getting a game crash when the pet returns from their job as well.

Same issue here, once a pet gets promoted at work and returns home it crashes the game.

This seems to be a known issue discussed on /r/sims2help with the edition of the game, keep an eye on this subreddit.

As a temp fix, a sim can call a pet's job via a phone and quit the job. When they return home they will not get the promotion and the game will not crash

Good to know that a sim can be saved before there is a crash. The game should not be crashing constantly after sometime enters CaS. Not even The SIms 3 is that bad with CaS.
