@puzzlezaddict Update: I tried a new save and attempted to add a lot in edit town and it crashed....I did add custom content back in so I'll try adding a lot without custom content.
Second Update: The game seems to crash whenever I attempt to add custom lots. It frustrating, because custom content is such a large part of the gameplay.
@Serenoz99 You might just be adding bad custom content, either an item that's corrupt or one that doesn't play well with Edit Town. Try installing just one lot into a clean folder and placing it. If it doesn't work, install one different lot and test it out. That's a good way to test whether the problem is the presence of the cc or the particular lots you're downloading.
There are plenty of problematic uploads, all the more so because lots (and worlds, and even sims) can come packaged with a good deal of cc. Sometimes it can take a few tries to find something you like that also works in-game the way it should.
When installing something that can carry other cc with it, it's always best to install it first into a clean folder and test it out. That way, if it doesn't work, you've kept it away from your main user folder and don't have to go through the process of getting rid of it or moving your other content to a new folder.
