@ziekinka There is a decent chance that the problem is not every single cc item you've installed but rather something else in the Sims 3 folder. That's why I keep suggesting you test in a clean folder. Disabling cc through the launcher is not the same and doesn't provide the same data. So please try the clean folder and get back to me.
I did as you said, however the results hasn't been much different since the last time I posted.
I cut and pasted my old The Sims 3 folder onto desktop and then created a new, fresh one. Everything worked just fine when I put my save file along with my Options.ini file (I just find it irritating not to have my game settings as I like them) in there and opened the game without any mods. Then I copied in my Mods folder and I suppose it's important to emphasise – it all went smooth as well, no crashes, nothing. Lastly nonetheless, I tried opening it after putting in all my sims3.pack files and installing the CC and Store content from the Downloads folder; I copied it in and installed them through the launcher because I had a few items and Store worlds in there that I tended to regularly use, and I even decided to delete some old ones not necessary to me anymore to make more space. From then on, after no crashes so far, having a fresh clean The Sims 3 folder and almost 1GB of old CC out, I had some hope that my game would be fine but again it was not. After I turned on my save with the stuff downloaded through the launcher, it crashed immediately. Are you sure it is not the core of the problem? I have honestly no idea how to deal with it or what else could be the issue after doing what you had said.
Also, while installing this Store content, I had a problem with a small numer of items which hasn't occured to me ever before, as they wouldn't get installed with a message alongside saying "Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates and try again". Not sure if it is any significant in this situation (sorry if it is not, I just don't want to skip any changes I notice) however in the past it would be installed just fine. My game version is 1.69.43.024017. It's the latest version, isn't it?
