Switch [HELP] Game crashing when I sleep

[zpc150]

I'm about 140 hours into a save on the Switch. Every time I try to sleep the game crashes with error "The software closed because an error occurred". I went through posts on here and Reddit for the same issue over the past few years and tried the following:

Having only tools
Having no items
Adding an item to and sorting every chest
Emptying coops, barns and slime hutches
Moving the save data to the switch memory and making plenty of free space
Emptying fridges
Passing out instead of sleeping
Sleeping as soon as game loads
Quitting to title and reloading before sleeping

I'm only playing single player and new saves do not have this issue, are there any other suggestions to try?

Hello zpc!

Your problem sounds very similar to the one in this thread, and identical to this one.

Could you please try following the steps in the first (obviously slightly altered because that was multiplayer), and post in the second to raise attention to this bug?

Hope this helps!

Ive had this same issue since April of last year. I’m on day 1 of winter, year 5. I have done everything recommended. I’ve uninstalled and redownloaded Stardew, checked for any new updates, checked for corrupted data, switched stuff around in my chests, I have all the tools in my inventory (took them out of my inventory), everything I could find to do. Every time I go to sleep to save and move to the next day the same message pops up “The software was closed because an error occurred.” And it will bring me back to my home screen. My problem file, however, is my original first file since starting this game. When the new update came out introducing the islands back in like February of last year, I experienced the bug where the ground at the islands was missing, it was just a reflection of the sky instead of dirt and grass. Everything operated just fine minus the ground being blue. I know another small update came out to fix this issue, but I’m wondering if the fix-it update is what’s throwing off my ability to save now. I haven’t been able to play this file since like April/May of ‘21, and I don’t know what else to do or what could be the issue.
