Re: Sims 3 keeps crashing whenever the game clock is at 01.42pm.
@wilsmith1924 For the store content, repair the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Repair. Running the Origin reset tool removes a couple of files that are necessary to make store and custom content work, and repairing puts them back.
The most common cause of this kind of issue is a sim spinning into a corrupt outfit at exactly the time the game freezes. It's a bit early for a sim to be leaving for a 3 pm work shift, but that's certainly possible. If you have custom content, try playing without it. You don't have to save your progress; the point is to see whether this helps. An outfit that contains bad cc could cause the problem, although outfits can be corrupt even without cc. (A certain uniform for a female sim in the culinary career always seems to break for me, and I don't use cc.)
If that doesn't help, please let me know whether you use mods, specifically NRaas mods, or would be willing to add a few. A MasterController town reset, or maybe a more targeted one, could help here.
