00SELAH00 Sorry for the late reply. Does this happen in any world, or are you playing in different worlds and seeing the same thing? You've removed your mods, but have you tried a clean user folder? As in, move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, allowing the game to generate a new folder the next time you open the launcher. This is the only way to be sure your data has no lingering effects from mods (other than the ones that go in Bin, like the Smooth Patch) or custom content.
puzzlezaddict Thanks for the reply! This does happen across different worlds. I recently moved my Sims 3 folder out and let the game make a new one. I played a new save for a while with no issues, until the inevitable happened. It is back to freezing and crashing. The only difference is that it seems like the game tries a little harder to push past whatever is causing the crashing.
