A quick update on how my uninstall and reinstall is going with all my games and what I have discovered.
First I have the physical copies of these:
The Sims 3 Deluxe
World Adventures
Town Life Stuff
Generations
Pets
And I have the Digital Downloads of these:
High End Loft Stuff
Late Night
Fast Lane Stuff
Showtime
Now I am on the uninstall and reinstall process number 4. By that I mean I have tried various times to completely start from scratch with my installation of all stuff and ep. No cc, no mods, no store content.
The first time I installed Deluxe and World Adventures. Loaded the game and it worked fine. Then I tried to install HELS digital, because I wanted to install them in order. Well, I downloaded HELS and it said I had to open the launcher and install the update before it would allow me to install HELS. So I did this. And it installed update 1.31. I then installed HELS and loaded the game. It crashed as soon as I loaded into a house.
I did this entire process again, and it crashed in a different house. It will load the home fine and the sims, but as soon as a sim goes to interact with anything that's when it crashes.
So I did all of that again, but I loaded the game with the update before installing HELS. It crashed.
So, now I know that 1.31 is the culprit, I went and uninstalled everything again. I have installed all my physical copies, and they run fine without the launcher update (1.31).
Now what? I still have the digitals to install, that don't seem to work with that 1.31 update. :cry: :cry: :cry: I know I should update and install the digital versions to see what happens, but this has been a very long and tedious process.
