im playing in the france world i think 🏀 Let's Play The sims 3 World adventures Part 1 stress! - YouTube that video shows what happens
@Blackredminty Please list the mods you use. Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

In the future, please don't link other people's videos to show me something; it's not particularly helpful if it's not your game. The video is also age-restricted, and not all of us want to have to sign into YouTube just to watch.
that video is mine to show the issue i use master controller and story progression and thats all
i hope i did it right the program seemed to change from that help post
@Blackredminty Sorry, I didn't think that was your video since you said you were playing in France and the video is set in China. It's still hard to watch though, especially with the voiceover; a shorter video with no commentary or (even better) a simple description of the problem is much easier to process.
Please try adding NRaas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and Traveler to the mix, and let me know whether it helps. Delete the five cache files in your user folder as well:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
Your dxdiag lists a bunch of network errors and a couple from Sims 4, but none from Sims 3. So if the above doesn't help, please look for related errors in the Reliability Monitor. Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes. You'll see a list of errors and updates, with a column for each day. (Today is all the way on the right.)
For any errors that mention Origin or Sims 3 from after you add the other mods, click "View technical details," then copy the information and paste it into a reply here. Sometimes the Reliability Monitor doesn't update right away, so if you don't see any related errors, be sure to check back an hour or two. The timestamp on the initial chart can also be off by up to an hour, so that's not an entirely reliable metric, but the one within the technical details should be accurate.
i tried to download the mods and they didn't show up on the main menu of the sims 3 and i tried the other command with windows and it didn't work it didn't find it
i tried in another save and the same thing happened
@Blackredminty Please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved, but the game won't be able to read the data. Please leave all those files where they are for now.
In the new folder, create or download the Mods framework and add NRaas mods if you want, but don't add anything else. Delete the five cache files as usual. Start a new save, pick a random household in Sunset Valley, and travel someone to China. Let me know whether the game freezes.
If it does freeze, please delete the cache files again, then repeat the above, except take your computer completely offline before trying to play.
ty i'll try it sometime and see if it worked
