@tbluitt2326 Some bad custom content doesn't cause any problems until a sim is wearing it, or tries to spin into an outfit that contains it; or until a sim is assigned it that shouldn't be able to use it, as in the case of clothing or hair that has not been properly categorized. Saves can also get corrupted all on their own, and constant crashing in your current save doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your installed content.
It would be very helpful to play in a clean game folder, no cc, for a while, to test. If you don't get any crashes, you can test your save in the clean folder, without moving over the cc; just make a copy of the save, so you don't have to worry about missing objects. You can also test your cc in a new save, again in an otherwise clean folder; copy over the .dbc files in DCCache and test. Let me know how things go.
@puzzlezaddict So far I only flagged a animation mod. Just like my save with cc, as soon as I put it into my clean one, the game crashed a few seconds in. Weird enough I didn’t have any issues with this mod until I changed packs and couldn’t open up a town.
Regardless, the crashes has happened even without this mod in my game. I only got it cause I was told it was compatible with Nraas.
Edit: I got the mod working. I think I downloaded it wrong. Game hasn’t crashed yet. Will try to add more cc to see what happens.
Hi there, this topic hasn't been updated since June, so I was wondering what your current status is. I recently downloaded Sims 3 & Sims 4 back onto my laptop a few weeks ago (after having general non-Sims performance issues over the summer so I reinstalled Windows onto a clean drive). The Sims 4 worked perfectly fine from the get-go, but The Sims 3 was always crashing like 5 - 10 minutes into it, and just like your issue, with no visual error message evident. I was wondering if you're still having the crashing issue as I did something so simple that fixed it for me, was actually quite shocking to say the least. :-)
Hey, what did you do to fix this issue? I’m having the same problem?
