Why is Sims 3 crashing at the loading screen?

Crashing on loading is usually due to an incompatible scripting mod. Either you still have one hiding somewhere or you forgot to delete the cache files.

Best is to move the entire mods folder to the desktop and then delete the cache files.

Go to documents\ea\thesims3 and delete these files

• CASPartCache.package
• compositorCache.package
• scriptCache.package
• simCompositorCache.package
• socialCache.package

Thank you, I just did what you suggested, but it still wouldn't work. But thanks for the effort.

Hmmm, well I just searched through folders again, and I found something. I removed it, I'm going to try Sims again. It worked! Thank you for the help. 😕mileyhappy:

Great.

Thanks for the feedback and for accepting a solution 🙂 

Can you share what you did that made it work? I'm having this same problem.

What did you search in the folders? My game is doing the same thing

@RedVelvetGirl1  This is an extremely old post, and the solution only applies if you tried to add mods to the program files instead of the game folder in Documents.  If you'd like help with your current issue, please describe it more fully, including where in the process the game crashes as well as any error messages you see.
