Vertical Challenge Rock Wall causes crash
Every time my sims interact with the Vertical Challenge Rock Wall the game crashes.

@leverettken Please move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you open the launcher, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily not read by the game.) Don't add any of your existing content to the new folder; just download a fresh copy of the climbing wall, install it, and let me know whether it works in a new save.
If it doesn't, I'll try messing around with it myself. I own the wall but haven't installed it, but I can experiment a bit. Please also let me know what kind of install you have: Windows and Origin/disc/Steam, or macOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
@puzzlezaddict Ok tried that too, and it still quit! The climbing wall file might be corrupted?
@leverettken Interesting. Try adding the store patches, which may or may not be a part of the 64-bit version's program files. They certainly don't get downloaded anymore though. Instructions are here:

- @puzzlezaddict tried that in the new sims 3 folder too, and still quit!
@leverettken and @jbd00 Sorry for the late reply. I didn't have time to do this before, but last night I reinstalled all the premium content I own and tested most of it. (I didn't have a toddler to test those items and was too tired to manufacture one.) The rock wall caused a crash for me as well, but none of the other items did, which I really wanted to check before reporting it.
Having said that, if you own any other premium items, please test them and let me know whether they work. I don't own everything, especially the items that come with certain venues, so I can't be sure that the rock wall is the only one affected. Regular (non-premium) items shouldn't be affected since they're just new versions of existing base game objects.
Edit: attaching crash log
