Ok, I think this is where this needs to go. If not, can you move it for me? Anyways, I'm attempting to play my game and everytime it comes to my little sims birthday from toddler to child, the game just stops. It freezes between 8:15 and 8:20. The first time, it stopped at 8:15 and I had to force shut-down and I re-opened it, and it did it again at 8:17 the last time was 8:20. The first 2 times, I had the radio on the roots channel, so I thought that was it and as soon as I opened it the 3rd time, I turned the radio off before hitting play. It still did it. I'm hoping the file is not bugged because I have been working on this family for about a month now. This is the 3rd generation it keeps doing it on. I use no mods or CC. The game works fine until birthday time. It's really starting to irritate me. Hopefully someone can help?
EDIT: I just tried again. This time, before hitting play, I turned all the TV's off and made sure the radio was still off. It froze at 8:19 this time. I think I'm going to try a different file and see if I can have a successful birthday on another game.
EDITED again: I have bad news for my family I've been working on for awhile. I just opened a file in Twinbrook, edited town to put a toddler with my single woman, it was his birthday. I saved it, triggered age transition and he aged up fine. Then I reloaded it and let the birthday happen naturally, he aged up fine. So I guess I answered my own question and that file is bugged. Which really bums me out.
