Now for my issue which I think may be related to the patch itself, more specifically what was done in the 1.55 patch and possibly Seasons EP after some testing I did before and after I reinstalled my game:
When I go into my Jolina in Sunset Valley save, the mouse does not move smoothly when I right-click and drag and when I go into another Sunset Valley save for my Louis family, which was my first sim family that I made for The Sims 3, the game loads fine but when I click on the Elder sim the game freezes up but all other sims (1 adult, 2 YA, 2 teens, and 1 toddler) are fine. I did go into my Mitchell from Ap. Plains save, a family made using sims from the pre-made sims section but with some changes, and the game loaded fine so I exited the save, either to quit the game or go to the main menu I can't remember which, but when I went back into the save it wouldn't load and an error with no number popped up so I exited the game, deleted my Mitchell from Ap. Plains save then copied it back in from my back-up and all was fine. I don't know if my Bunch from Sunset Valley save had issues because I didn't really test them long enough to see if there were any.
All of my saves were fine when I had the 1.50 patch and everything up to University Life and when I reinstalled everything was fine for my Jolina in Sunset Valley save, which was the easiest save to use for checking, at all the checkpoints I did from just the base game up to and including the Master Suite Stuff were fine but when I got to the checkpoint I did after I installed Diesel Stuff, Showtime, KPST Stuff and Seasons the mouse was back to not moving smoothly when I right-click and drag and the elder sim in my Louis from Sunset Valley save once again causing the game to freeze. I decided at that point to uninstall Showtime and Seasons and the problems went away so I went ahead and installed Supernatural, 70's, 80's, & 90's Stuff and University Life. I did check my Jolina in Sunset Valley save and my Louis from Sunset Valley save after each install and there were no problems. I know Supernatural come out before Seasons but I am so glad I goofed and installed it afterwards. I did reinstall Showtime and there were no problems with my saves.
I have come to the conclusion that it's the patch and Seasons EP but more specifically what was done in the 1.55 patch because something in that patch could have done something that made the game unplayable for me with the Seasons EP installed. When I have the Seasons EP uninstalled and the 1.63 patch, the game is fine and when I had the 1.50 patch and every expansion pack and stuff pack up to University Life installed, the game was fine. I would like to know if someone else is having this problem so I know if it's just my game or if it could a bug/glitch. I have since left the Seasons EP uninstalled so I can, at least, play 2 of my saves.
