Re: Sims 3 Crashing when UI menu goes black

@puzzlezaddict  thank you again the clean folder start up worked. I have made a family and moved them into a house, this is the furthest I have gotton since the crashes started.

When the game crashed last time I had the fps locked at 60fps through Nvidia inspector, in the top right corner of the screen shot last post had 56fps. I haven't had any custom content on since my full uninstall of Sims 3, EP and SP.

would you know if there is any issues with the sims 3 Roaring hights custom content pack? If I should even think of installing it?

@TiaMaria0780  If you're talking about the store world, it's fine, it won't cause any problems.  There are occasional routing issues with the world itself, but that's true of pretty much every world EA ever made, and from the reports I could find, Roaring Heights isn't any worse than the others.

If there's some third party custom content pack meant to be used with RH, I have no idea.  Sometimes bad cc can stick to an upload without the creator knowing and then get downloaded by unsuspecting users, and it's a matter of separating the hidden file(s) from the ones you want.  But the advertised files themselves can be poorly made as well, and you might only find out when you try to use an item in-game.  So there's always a risk with cc.

If you want to try it, I'd suggest downloading it into another clean folder and testing.  If you see a problem, you'll know you got some bad cc.  Whether you want to go through the effort of removing it depends on how much you like the rest of the content.  Here's a guide for removing bad cc, in case you want it:

Awesome thank you for looking into that for me. I rather be safe than sorry 🙂

Appreciate all your help and your time.
