ve been experimenting with the new expansion pack and noticed if you take ANY supernatural sim thru the time portal, it ends up crashing the game to the destop of your computer..although i had it happen with a normal human sim, it seems to increase when you use Supernatural sims for some unknown reason..i did the following tests to see what crashes happened:
1. Normal human family with 3 members - went thru time portal and ended up in future
2. 1 supernatural sim (fairy type) and 1 normal human - Crashed to desktop
3. 2 supernatural sims (fairy and unchanged werewolf), and 1 normal sim - Crashed to destop
4. All Supernatural sims (fairy, unchanged werewolf, 2 vampires, 1 witch) - Crashed to destop
Testing parameters:
1.No mods used.
2.Cache's cleaned after every test to see if it worked or not.
3.Using the most current patch released by EA thru launcher and auto-updated.
This is clearly a bug as i see no supernatural sims in the future (s) also. Everyone appears to be normal humans. This is something EA might wish to address in a patch or test themselves to see how it works..all i know is even if i use different families, using supernaturals thru the time portal tends to crash the game more often then using a normal human sim..
Ive tested this theory for 2 days, and i established this hypothesis based on testing this in the game itself. I can play normal in any neighborhoods with the supernatural sims..but as soon as they time portal into the future, it crashes. Please look into this EA technical people. I know your busy, but i believe this is a genuine bug.
Accordingly, ewilson1114 said in my other post about this issue that someone sent a fairy to the future, so perhaps it is not the fairy that is causing this issue, but a unchanged werewolf or a vampire.
Ewilson1114 recommended i posted this issue here, but EA phone support said i should post on the tecnical discussion forums about this issue. I am posting in both places so EA technicians and support staff are able to see this and try the above test's themselves that i used in order to try to re-create the issue at hand.
