@zeetopia Try loading those saves in a clean user data folder. Move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then launch the game to create a clean folder with no content, and quit. Go into the Saves folder inside the Sims 3 folder you moved, copy the affected saves, then open Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves and paste the saves in there.
Load one of them and see if the problem is back. If would be better to test on a save you have from before the births, if you can. Let me know what you see.
alright , i will try this an dlet you know in about 30 mins. thank you!
OKay , i have just tried your method and the game hasnt glitched. the only differnce is , my custom content used for the lot and the sims is not showing (as expected) so the game just looks really weird haha. but the glitches i was seeing are gone! what should i do from here?
@zeetopia You can try adding your cc back in batches, testing after each one. As long as you don't get any glitches (be sure to play through the birth, or another point where you remember the game was glitching before), you'll know that cc was fine. Any batch that causes the glitch again needs to be split and retested until you find the problem file(s). Here's a complete list of everything in your user data folder, so you'll know what to move over:

While testing, be sure to delete the five cache files in the Sims 3 folder each time you quit. They should be deleted regularly anyway, and definitely whenever you add or remove content from the folder. For reference, these files are:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
okay! thank you so much 🙂
