puzzlezaddict Okay, I'm soo glad to hear there's nothing wrong with my actual system. Thank youu! Also, I never merge mods, only cc (hair, etc). But there's something in there that causes the problems even though I've checked all my merged cc file soo many times. I'm going to start with adding mods into the clean sims 3 folder starting with Nraas, and work my way through. Question though, would it be smart to test my cc unmerged? like in a batch of 50 single packages at a time? Or would that make the game run harder, reading every small single package? It would definitely add up eventually
