@busanfaa: Does your house have a foundation.
I have been having this problem since I istalled Seasons and have been dealing with this issue now for 4 days.....I'm in build mode and building on 2nd floor. click on "edit town" to try and save....sometimes it hangs up on "loading" then "the sims 3 has stopped responding" error crash message. Sometimes it crashes when trying to save from edit town with same crash error message. Also when initally starting the game from the neighborhood view, I click on the lot that i'm building and once in the lot, objects appear gray and take a while for the graphics to appear. AND, while in buy mode, the object thumbnails take a while to load. AND, sometimes when I switch from build mode to buy mode (or vice versa), The menu (bottom left functions menu) flickers to patches of black to its original color of blue..........my game is borked big time!!! someone please help!
