a serious error occurred while loading (name). we strongly recommend restarting the application.
so every time i try to get into sims in the last few days this mesage keeps coming up. it gets as far as the town background and the box with my sims and the game tips and after about 5 minutes of waiting it comes up with a black screen and the above message. i've tried reinstalling the last EP and even put on a new one, but it keeps happening. i'm on PC.
It only does that with that household right? If you choose another household or create a new one, it should load without any issues. Since you want to play with the current household and not another one, I suggest you go to your saves folder on your Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 3 , see if you have a file in your saves folder that has the exact same name as the game you're currently playing but ending in .backup If you do, then copy the files in that folder and replace them with the ones on the folder that has the name of the game that you're playing but ending in .sims3 After you do this, the game should load normally.
