Hopecarver Life States Dynasty - No Story/Speed Run - COMPLETE

[LivvieLove]

Congrats on finishing! And I'm very jealous of anyone who gets their last heir on the first try.

I'm also moving this to the Completed Dynasties board.

I was so insanely happy, you have no idea. I about cried. I already knew it was going to be a struggle with the Imaginary Friend versus Genie thing going on, but fates worked in my favor! I got that camera out and went "OH MY GOSH! Imaginary friend! Holy Cow!"

Thank you kindly for moving it. I'm so happy, my first completed Dynasty.

Congrats Livvie!  So glad you triumphed over all the horrible bugs and glitches!  I might have thrown something through my computer screen about that time XD

Thank you!
You have no idea how tempted I was. I was literally going to bed when the worst crash happened. I was saving and all the sudden "The Sims 3 Has stopped working." and I was like "WHAT?!" So I had to stay up another 15 minutes to boot the game and make sure it was still in one piece (it was, barely), but it kept crashing after a minute after that. I was a week away from being done and so, thoroughly upset, so I went to the challenge team and we figured it out - thank goodness!

Congratulations, LivvieLove! I enjoyed your unique way of presenting this challenge.

Congrats on the speed run! That was probably very hard with the last generation crashing the game so much. I have had similar problems, even suffering Errors that prevented me from saving. Maybe I suggest two solutions?

(1) Delete your caches every time you log out - the game will regenerate them and clean them up.
(2) Get a much faster computer with twice as much memory. My old computer had similar issues because it couldn't BARELY handle The Sims 3. Then my mom surprised me at Christmas with a much stronger computer with more memory.

I hope this helps and the people of Carl's Guide are very supportive.

Thank you! I appreciate the suggestions. I do keep my computer very clean, and I had this one built to the specifications of the Sims (actually more than that), I just think my graphics card sometimes struggles with it a little bit (It's a high-end Card, but AMD playing games is like a picky eating child trying to eat their vegetables - it has a few bumps along the way and needs quite a bit of encouragement). I do plan on building my next computer from the ground up, so that should help, until then I'll just have to keep encouraging my dear computer and struggling on!
