    Hey everyone, thanks so much for the responses.  So just for reference if anyone else is seeing this.  I did have Java, Adobe, and IE all up to date, and it was still crashing.

    Yesterday, I read how to bypass the launcher.  Believe it or not, that seemed to do the trick.  I was able to play for several hours without any interruption, enter CAS, Edit Town, travel around, switch households, everything with zero issues or even unreasonable loading times.  

    I can't comment on how long it took to load or save the game, because over the past few days of dealing with this issue, I've gotten in the habit of leaving the game to do its thing while I go make a snack.

    I hope this helps anyone else who was having this problem.

I'm getting the same error, it stared on the 16th, so it's been a week today that the game is completely unplayable. I sent my Dx info to EA and they said my system wasn't the problem. I was actually talking to over 2 hours and nothing they suggested helped. 

Mine also just takes me to a black screen, I guess from what you said it will load eventually, but I have never waited that long. Maybe 5 minutes at the most.

    Try restting the game - follow this link - how to reset TS3. I don't think the script error is causing the game to crash. It may be some bad data in the user data files. Following the instructions in the provided link will make the game think you just installed it. If you still have the problem further trouble shooting will be necessary.

      The error is gone, and now the game starts up fine again. I did nothing, I read somewhere it was something EA had to fix(might have been on this site). I was checking it about every hour and when I checked at 9pm EST, it was gone I hit play and the game started like normal. I don't know how, but I do think the two were related.
