Re: sims 3 64 bit Game crashing when placing lots

@daisyorgana  Is this true of any lot, or just a few?  You can experiment with the premade lots in the bin if you want.  For me, four caused problems, not crashes but flashing red on the screen; the rest were fine.  The base game lots should be particularly stable.

If you're trying to place a custom lot, I'd love to test it myself as well.

    @puzzlezaddictEvery lot from the sims 3 store and a few from the expansions. It seems like it is too much to process. They are all bigger than some of the base game. It least it didn't work for me now. I'm gonna try again.

    @daisyorgana  The reason I asked is that I tried placing all the lots in the in-game bin, and I saw red flashing with only four of them.  But I didn't test any store lots, and I only placed one lot that's already in one world in a second, and I saw red flashing there too.  It's entirely possible that some lots are too complicated to be processed, but it would be useful to know which ones those are.

    @puzzlezaddict Sorry for my late response. Got a little busy this past week. Uhm I can place them now. I don't know if the update fixed it itself or the macOS update fixed it. But it works.

    @daisyorgana  The update definitely included a change to help with performance, although I didn't know it would help in this case.  At any rate, it's a win, and good to hear.

    @Aislingxoxoxo  If it's a specific lot that won't place without a crash, then the solution is to not place that lot.  There are plenty of custom lots that don't work as well as could be hoped, and the problem can be exacerbated on weaker systems or in the 64-bit Mac version of the game.

    If you can't place any lot, that's a different issue, one that does need some troubleshooting.  Let me know if this is the case.
