    @NNstine The first thing I would recommend would be to repair the game - right click the Sims 3 base game tile in Origin client and select 'Repair Game'.  

    If the issue remains, please move your 'Mods' folder to a different location (default location C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 - you should not have a Mods folder there when testing) and check if you can get your Sims to move in with out crashing. 

    If you can, then the issue is with a mod/custom content and you can try  creating a new 'Mods' folder in the default location and then place mods/cc in one at a time to test what is causing issues.

    Let us know how you get on!

I've tried to repair the sims as you said, and then I just tried to delete half of my custom content. It didn't work.
I then tried running the sims without any CC and it didn't crash.

The only problem now is, will I be able to run the game with CC now, and play like normal, I really want to play in Aura Skies, but if I run the game without CC Aura Skies are gone.

But thanks, it was the custom content, so now I know. It hasn't been a problem before, since it's mostly just clothes and a little furniture, but yeah. Thaks again, my sims is now working 🙂

@NNstine Glad to hear the game is no longer crashing :eahigh_file:

As for Aurora Skies - as this is an offical world it should still show in game. Does the world still show in C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads and can you see it in 'Downloads' tab on the launcher?
