Keep crashing after done everything suggested
« on: June 06, 2016, 10:44:12 PM »
I've played my sims 3 for about 4-5 months after reinstalling because of some problems.  There was no problem until about 2 weeks ago it started to freeze and never got back to normal. I noticed when i played Sims university everything was fine, but when my sim graduated and went back to the town the problem started. I've tried 3 towns so far; Sunlit Tiles (lasted 3 days until it's start to freeze), Isla Paradiso (lasted 2 days) and Apaloosa Plains (lasted 1,5 days).  I don't want to stop playing Sims 3 but if this happens all the time i might have to consider it.

Installed some useful mods? check. mastercontroller, saver, errortrap, overwatch.
That-DEP-things? check. every single expansions and stuffs.
Troubleshooting? check.
Reinstall? check. i've done this 3 days ago.

Expansions and Stuff Pack I've installed:
- Base
- World Adventure
- High-End Loft Stuff
- Fast Lane Stuff
- Late Night
- Generations
- Town Life Stuff
- Pets
- Seasons
- University Life
- Island Paradise

help me resolve this freezing problem  >:(

The only thing I can think of is take out Errortrap to see if that might help. As I've had problems with that mod and have to play without it.

Also, did you try using Ccleaner and it's registry cleaner after the uninstall/reinstall?

Run Ccleaner and it's registry cleaner:  (Standard Edition is Free)

https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac -- Mac

-- This helps clean up temporary files, internet cache files and other files that are left behind that are no longer being used.

Ccleaner also done 2 days ago.

I'll take out the Errortrap mods.  I'll inform you if there is any improvement.  Thanks for the help!

Thanks for letting me know and letting us help troubleshoot the problem. Something that might be worth trying (?) is playing a test game - if you haven't done so already?

Create a fresh/new Sims 3 folder without mods or custom content.

Sims 3 Factory Reset (What & Howto)
http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=20732.msg401814#msg401814

Instead of playing any of your previous saved games. Start by creating a new test game. Create a Sim or use one from the library to test. See how that works.

This will rule out conflicts between game and mods or cc.

Try playing with fewer stuff/expansion packs installed and seeing if that is any better, perhaps.

I think I remember people saying that there were problems with Isla Paradiso and the game freezing, something to do with houseboats, I understand.

I also seem to recall I had all kinds of issues with freezing when I had seasons and pets installed.

about packs, i guess i'll uninstall town life and isla paradiso, it doesn't really impress me though. 

i also read some posts from other forums, they said that seasons sometimes makes the game freeze. but i really like seasons...  :'( :'(
