°Started New Game - Took my Saved Sim from the Library, placed him on an Empty Lot. Clicked to enter...SAME PROBLEM. Kicked to the World Screen. This means, any Sim that I had Saved during the Single Parent Household Bug will have to be Deleted.
If that still doesn't solve this Issue...Looking @ an entire Re Install and some very CHOICE NASTY VIDS for YouTube concerning the Testers @ EA.

This is UNBELIEVABLE. Out of sheer spite of past problems with CC Hair Files, I removed the only 1 that I had.... I recently DL'ed 1 CC Hair file that was on one of Sims4Nexus posts. It's not her' Hair file but it's posted on what she used to make her Sim - there is a Link. On that Particular Hair Link - Stealthic Vanity (Female Hair @ TSR), it mentions something about, "Crash Fix".
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have this Hair in your files....REMOVE IT NOW. This Crash will Stick to your Game like Super Glue, even after removing your Mods - you will have to begin a New Game.
P.S. - Got some new Hair CC? Sell it to someone else, no longer dealing with that.

Hi stevenssimsstuff, can you send me the hair.package that is causing this trouble? Also, I know that Stealthic is a careful creator and wouldn't dump out bad content to cause problems. If this hair, indeed, is causing issues I'm sure that he is not aware of that and that it wasn't causing this problem in his game when he tested it. Custom content is always subject to the vagaries of patches and that may be the problem here.

I need to mention 2 Basic things when it comes to CC Hair:
1. On the release of Sims4, the main culprits of random Crashes that I had, were due to just CC Hair Files. I had only 3 - took them out, Game was fine.
2. The reason, I DL'ed this hair is due to the Sims4 being out for awhile...gave it another shot. These things happen, I don't personally blame the person/s who make these files - they did not set out to intentionally do this. What I find Mind Boggling, at least to me - Why is it always Hair Files? Am I missing some unspoken secret about Hair Files? Why are they so different compared to other Sims4 CC?
Anyhows, Rock On....got some ReBuilding to do.... ;°P
(With the File in, Game worked just fine until that incident where the 2 Sims left @ the same time...how that triggered whatever crash to happen - no clue.)

There are a couple reasons why hairs were bugged at the beginning. The first is that the game itself had a bug which EA acknowledged and has since fixed. This bug caused some CC hairs to crash on computers that had certain video cards. A second reason was because many CC creators, in the absence of a better tool, were using s4pe to make their thumbnails with. That tool wasn't then, and is not now, able to consistently make game safe content. It damaged quite a bit of custom content when people saved thumbnails to their .package. People concerned about bugged content should try to steer away from old content and any content that was made using s4pe. Those who don't mind giving it a shot should put that single item in their game to test it before trusting it. It isn't difficult to check the date on a .package. Most reputable creators say what tool they made the item with in their credits. Since you have a strong objection to bugged stuff check the date and the tool the item was made with. If you want something and the creator didn't say what it was made with just ask 'em before downloading. If the creator won't say then give the item a miss. I think this will save some amount of annoyance

I checked out the hair and don't see anything unusual about it. It doesn't seem to have any of the old CAS mesh bug, the region map bug or any other corruption from those early days. All of its resources are readable in the Warehouse as well (and Studio is pretty strict about broken resources). It worked fine when I tried it in game too. I'm not sure how long you have had that hair in the game, but I would guess that if it were bugged you'd be crashing on day one. If your game is crashing after having used the hair for awhile and it happens to be coinciding with unusual gameplay circumstances, I would be more inclined to think that it is a bug in the game that EA needs to fix.

Had it for about 1 Day. Took Pics with the Sim that night, (Sat.) / Yesterday, (Sun.) - played the Household for about an hour, was checking out that Doctor Career, Funny stuff in that Career. Like I said it didn't Crash right off the Bat - But niether did those Original 3 on Sims4 release, certain situations or, I suppose - Script calls set that off.
