Sims 3 won’t save after building
Hi. Ive been having this issue where my sims 3 will endlessly save after build/buy mode. I originally thought this was an issue with the save file bloating but after reducing the size of my save fil...

@dedewade The 64-bit update hasn't happened yet (and is only for macOS anyway), so it wouldn't be affecting your game now. If you're worried about your mods causing this issue, try playing without them or any of their potential residual effects: Move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and let the game spawn a new one, which it will do the next time you play. Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just see whether you have the same issue as you do now. Let me know either way.
If you still can't save, it would be helpful to know more about your computer. If it runs Windows, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post:

If you have a Mac, please post its full specs, as described here:
Either way, please also list the packs you currently have installed.
Hey! thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it 🙂), I did exactly what you said and gladly it worked but sadly I still want to play with my mods ;(. is there a way I can play with mods and just find the bad ones other the Delphy's dash thing because I don't want to break my computer ☹️(.
@dedewade Now that you know that one of your mods is (probably) the issue, you can test them to find out which one(s) you need to remove. If you have a lot of them, the 50/50 method is the most efficient way to sort: test half your mods, and if they're fine, add half of the rest. If you can't save again, remove half of those you just added and test again. In this way, a large number of files can be pared down very quickly.
I forgot to mention though that there might be a shortcut. If you have buydebug on, you may not be able to save after building; turning it off again fixes the issue. So if you like to turn it on while building, or you think you have a mod that might enable it, that's the first place to look.
- @puzzlezaddict I did everything and it still worked. I did every merged cc package with the 50/50 method and it still worked!!! This is getting very annoying! 😤😤 I'm honestly so done lol.
@dedewade Are you still testing in a clean save? You can try with your existing save now; maybe there's an issue with that particular save that's causing the crashes, and the issue doesn't show up in a new save.
