Re: Sims 3 keeps crashing

Thanks! Turns out it was the culinary career at the bistro that was causing problems. Does this mean I can't use the culinary career anymore?

    @NickyKoppert2710  The issue may be the bistro lot, in which case you can delete it, save, quit, reload, and replace it.  Or it may be one of the sims in that career spinning into a broken outfit.  There's an easy way to test this with mods, specifically NRaas MasterController, if you use it or are willing to install it.  Click on City Hall and select:

    NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career > Days Off

    Choose Career as the filter, then Culinary, and you'll see a list of sims in the career.  You can try giving a day off work to one at a time, and whichever one stops the game from crashing is the issue.  You could force them into a different career (MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career > Choose Job), or promote/demote them or make them quit (Level and Quit, respectively).

    Without mods, you could still temporarily switch households and manually choose new careers for any affected sims.  Or you could delete the bistro and diner, which will remove the option to work in the Culinary career at all, making all these sims unemployed.  Replacing the lots will allow sims to join the career again but won't restore previous employment or levels.
