@Cinebar gimme your computer ahah because I have also a lot of gigas of cc as you and it stil crashes despite all the cares I do with my cc. I noticed recently that also the cc that kept the texte and the description of the cloned object makes the game not stable.
I also have custom houses I decorated I saved in s2pack they are not playable at all always crashy .
If the cheats codes makes the game crashes I swear I cannot
Anyways I don't play it anymore I am so angry with this game. I switched to ts4 and I kept my sims 3.
Lot corruption sometimes happens when you build a lot with stuff packs installed and then no longer have them installed. I only mention this because some people here don't actually have all packs installed. It can be loaded, and you can enter that lot but it will eventually crash.
Another reason lot corruption happens (crashes etc.) is the lot (if previously used) may contain left over data from Sims who lived there and those who visited. (Including NPCs, mailman, paperboy etc.) This can cause corruption and eventual crashes. There are mods to clean this up, however, it's been my experience those well known mods that clean that up only caused my game to implode (made it much worse).
One big thing that causes lot corruption (other than moving Sims to a new neighborhood which is a big fat no), is players may delete a cc object from their files before they remembered to go to that lot to sell it first off the lot, then they can delete the cc from the files. This is one of the top reasons lots crash or won't load. They would need to put back the custom Object in that case.
OFB changed a lot of game rules deep within the game. So, did Family Fun Stuff. Any lots built before those packs may be bugged and or cause crashes if people keep their original saved builds etc. and try to add them years later. It doesn't always happen, but if you ever notice base game lots built by Maxis are somewhat buggy to begin with, so best to only use lots you built after FFS and OFB.
It's been my experience not all lots should be downloaded and installed without using Sims2PkCleanInstaller, for many reasons, hidden hacks or cc that the creator didn't clean out before sharing the lot, and or NPCs in that lot. They may or may not be listed in the Clean Installer, but you load the lot and there is a strange Sim in the lot..get rid of the lot.
Bad lots in the lot bin (as described above) can be half the problem (even in the bin) of crashing.
A few years ago, I beat my head against the screen trying to find a piece of cc that was crashing my game at the same time every morning on my own built lot. It was driving me crazy. I removed everything, it still crashed, I sorted things for days....lol, I finally narrowed it down to a clump of grass, called grass....it had corrupted my whole hood and crashing happened every morning on that lot even on a freshly cleaned lot of that house, so, even if you remove cc from lots and try to use the lot, it may still crash once you find out what the cc was that was breaking the game.
