Sims 3 Showtime simport problem
Okay so I just bought the sims Showtime not too long ago. I loaded the CD up and the game played great for a bit but then it started crashing for no reason. I decided to make a copy of the town because when my game crashed before it worked for me to play the copy. Anyway after that I tried to play on my comport but for some reason I click the button for it in the menu, I log in and then it just starts playing my game. I have tried restarting, closing the game down, I used the phone and computer to try to access it. I am able to get onto my sims 3 internet page while in game just fine but the comport won't work.
I am running this game on windows 7. I have not gotten any error codes I am not as concerned with the crashing since it works just fine in the new town but when it did crash it froze and did one of those windows close things. I do not use CC or moods. I used to use the woohooer mod but I deleted that way before I got my Showtime. As I said before I have tried to restart the computer and make a copy, I haven't tried to put my family into a new town though because I really wanted to use the Showtime since it was new. If need be I am pretty good with computers but if I need to do something technical it is not that hard to Google so please even if the fix is difficult let me know.
did you cleare the cache files after you removed the mod ?
•CasPartCache.package
•compositorCache.package
•scriptCache.package
•simCompositorCache.package
•socialCache.package.package
it's safe to delete these files as a new ones will regenerate
and before simporting save your game before you send your sim off to simport i'll be back with some troubleshooting guides and a ctd faq also you can save the family to the libiary to place them in a new town to see if that will help

the black screen issue has been caused by some tmp files which was supposed to fix the issue of store items from uninstalling in the launcher BUT the tmp files seem to stay another thing that will be fixed soon i hope, bypassing the launcher may help with that again i'll be back with some info on that
