The Sims 3 Pets For PS3---Game Freezing On Load Screen

[Grim Reaper]

This may just be an issue of my PS3 being active for almost the entire day and evening.  But, I have The Sims 3 Pets for PS3.  I had like four saves going on at once and decided to just delete them all and stick to won and keep using it over and over.  I like to see the town sort of progress after a while.  Anyway, my last sim finally died of old age on my first save and I immediately send her to the underworld so I can start creating my new sims.  At first, when she was sent to the underworld and I got the message that I can continue the save it went straight to create a sim.  I started creating my sims then I played with genetics to see what the couple sim I had created, what their toddler would look like.  I wanted to create a toddler after and when I went back to create a sim if froze on me.  It was stuck in loading and took way too long.

So, I had to reload my save and my sim was still alive so I drowned her in a pool to make it quick.  Then I saved my game so I wouldn't have to keep killing her.  I've tried a few times but after I send her to the underworld it has the main screen where it gives up tips and stuff while the game loads and the load isn't moving on.  You don't have a load bar with a percentage, just the sim icon that spins and says "loading" underneath it.  I can't even get to create a sim now. 

Like I said, it might be because I had the PS3 going all day and evening.  Sometimes it gets glitchy like that when I've had it on for too long.

I'm going to try again tomorrow.  I'm just frustrated because I finally get my save finished and I can't progress and start creating new sims.  Hopefully it works tomorrow.

Thanks for reading.

I'm moving this over to the Console board since it's for the PS3.

Thanks.  I was going to put it there but thought I would get better results on the general discussion board.

Hi Again, Grim.

Best suggestion Hubby and I have is to turn off the playstation and let it sit off for maybe a couple hours or so.  Turn it back on, load Pets, then try to load the saved game to see if it loads. If it doesn't, try creating a new game.

It maybe that your saved game got corrupted some how. If that's the case, you may need to start a new game.

OK thanks.  I did try that before and let it cool down.  I tried several times yesterday and even had my ghost sim continue on until the 5 days were up, saving each day and the sims icon keeps spinning, it says loading and I hear background stuff.  Timaeus Goth suddenly walked into my house yesterday without being invited in.  My ghost went back to the underworld upstairs and I could hear Timeaus Goth still playing the game he was playing upstairs, I could hear him laughing and commenting on the game, while the game was loading for create a sim.  I tried waiting for the game to load even an hour later and it still said loading.

I think you're right, I'll have to create a new save.  Hopefully it works.

Thanks for the suggestion.
