Sims 3 stops working and crashes while saving ONLY in Edit town mode

Do you have any strange objects on the lot. I hear there are issues with rain drop objects not clearing up properly causing the game to crash when trying to save.

Is this one particular community log or all of them ? Does the same happen for residental lots ?

Yes it was raining when I tried to save while building.   Tried it with NO rain but it still crashed.

For example I tried editting the pinoccle pond by building a shelter. But I couldnt save it because it would crash during the save.  I also tried to make an ice skating/snowboarding community lot but it would crash also. 

I havent tried editting a residential lot while on town edit because honestly, if it also doesn't save and crashes I'd get more frustrated ☹️ 
I've been working around the problem by not doing anything in edit town, but hopefully we find some sort of a fix. 

I`m having the same problem. I`m trying to make a second floor on my house, but every time i finish it and go to save, the game crashes, and a message saying that TS3 stopped working appears. I saw a lot of people with the same problem and they all say it crashes right after they use the build mode and make another floor. I only have the Seasons and Generations exps and no mods. Btw i`ve tried the save as option and didn`t work :/

Wow. I just tested it by bulldozing and putting down the grid and what do you know, it worked! O.O

The guy is right, must be the meteor rocks/daisies causing the crash.

edit: Or raindrops? :P

But I just cant bulldoze my own house when I decide that I want an extra floor to avoid crashing ☹️
Is there gonna be a fix patch soon or maybe a possible work around? 

OFF TOPIC:

Is this a place where I can report bugs also? Because one of my sims just RAN over the ocean water (Jesus style. haha) to get to a fishing spot. It was a shorter route (smart sim LOL) but kinda bizarre. 

You can report in that thread I linked but it's already listed. Also a common issue 🙂

EA never gives out infos on patches and what they are going to fix. So, really don't know what to do, but I'll add that to the Crash FAQ.

EDIT: Did you re-place the house from the bin as well ?

I'm a little unsure on the steps taken. Could you repeat them step by step they way you did it ?

Oh I was referring to busanfaa post.But I tried building another floor to my house and it didnt crash! :D

My problem was restricted to community lots, but bulldozing, putting the grid and then editting prevents the game from crashing.

Thank you so much for your help! 🙂)

Did you put the same lot back or is it just an empty lot now ?

I copied the pinocle pond lot first to the library, bulldozed it, then put down the grid then returned the Pinocle pond. 
Its a hasle but this way I could save it without crashing

I had the same problem...I was building a 2nd floor on my sims house and when I went to save, it crashed and lost all of the changes. The next time around I saved every few minutes (obsessive like) and figured out that it was crashing after I built my custom roof. Then I went back and did a few pieces of the roof at a time and found that it only crashed after I used the Mansard style roof. I don't know if this is a common bug or if it is just something unique to my PC...but as long as I'm not attached the the Mansard roof, I'm ok for now....but it would be nice if it was an option 🙂
