I am having this same problem. It gets past the first loading screen, but when the second comes up (the one where you've chosen your saved game file and are about to play) it stops right at the end, and the tips and music still play. I've tried literally everything, I only have generations, pets and seasons, I used to have island paradise, but I uninstalled it. I also removed a lot of CC. And have lowered every setting to low or medium. (Lol Sorry for the long paragraph) I have played sims 3 for over 7 years now and have never experienced this problem before. (This is of course playing the game on different laptops/computers.) I have played sims 3 on my current laptop for a year now, and this problem started 3 days ago. @melissalungu I would love to know how to do a test program, because I don't quite understand Ceejays explanation... sorry xD.
My sims cravings is growing XDD
