Instead of waiting for answers from EA which I don't know when it will arrived.... :cry: And I personally don't know if this is just luck or something else I have finally managed to get past the loading screen the first time after Sim graduation and thus found the solution to my problem. :P
1) Use reset factory settings, I found this solution in other web forums from google search and not EA site and it is only by chance where I finally discover this is stated only in the forum where you can't get to university but not when the Sim can't return home from university. That dosen't matter my sim never hv problems getting to university anyways.
2) Copy and paste the particular save file where you have the problem of getting past loading screen from Sims 3 saves back up to new Sims 3 saves file. Note: The Sims 3 back up is created using reset factory settings. Search google for detail procedures on resetting.
3) No the above 2 solutions isn't enough to solve this issue, now the next part is to SPLIT the household you are sending your selected sims to university dosen't matter how many, either into a new household or into a new home, but within the same town. This way you will not lose any relationship and once they returned from university just MERGE them back into the original household.
4) So if you have problems from transiting to and from between homeworld and vacation or university at the loading screen you might consider trying the method of splitting and remerging household. But this alone dosen't solved the problem totally because this issue shouldn't even happen in the first place and it means your file is definitely corrupted and no one I have seen so far is willing to solve any corrupted file.
4) I also have plenty of mods pasted to my new sims 3 file so yes I can safely agree this has NOTHING to do with mods but rather a corrupted file from playing a household for a very long time, and has done plenty of saves. I have also send my dxdiag to EA and they said my drivers is good for this game and I even update drivers from a recommended site. I have also delete all the cache files, thumbnail files etc in the Sims 3 folder everytime before I start this game. Everything I could have possibly done.
Ironic I never have problems with large games like GTA 5, Beyond 2 souls, Last of us, Thief, ME, ME2, ME3 and other large games etc etc for PS3 but when it comes down to Sims 3 for PC microsoft....it becomes rather complex and I dread to think Sims 4.
So I have come to this conclusion it seems eventually all Sims 3 file will be corrupted if you play the same household for generations. And nothing much can be done to it.
