Re: The sims 3 bin
@MirandaJonesDiz Try evicting the sims and saving them, and the lot, separately. It's a good idea to delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 user data folder in Documents\Electronic Arts before you try, and any time the game crashes. For reference, those files are:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
Please also go into the CurrentGame folder inside that same Sims 3 folder, and delete anything you find in there. That folder should always be empty unless you actually have a save loaded and running. But it doesn't always get emptied after a crash.
