@igazor thank you I will definitely look out for that this time.
If by fresh game folder, you're referring to the process of saving the sims 3 folder to the desktop and starting up a new sims 3 I have done that. It worked fine then and I tested out my mods as I put them back and only put back a fraction of the cc, nothing from around the time this problem started. But I guess that wasn't enough since here we are
Okay, but does the fresh game folder with your mods and fraction of your CC perform well still? If so, you will probably want to keep that game folder and see if your other saves work well with it. The problem then has to be with some form or amount of CC that you haven't added back in yet.
If the problem reappeared, sorry if I'm not understanding that part, with the fresh folder, mods, and fraction of CC, then I would be suspecting the mods or that some of that CC is the cause. It doesn't take much to impair performance or stop a game from loading. One bad CC file or a mod not intended for your patch level, or an errant TS2 or TS4 file ending up in the mix somehow, could do it. Added content issues like this can remain dormant for ages, then suddenly things try to load up in a different order during the startup sequence and the problems surface where they didn't seem to be there before.
If you cannot get your saved ongoing game to load, the one that won't load at all, even on a fresh folder with only minimal content and mods required to make it function properly, I'm afraid that one is still in danger of being declared unusable.
