When you see people reporting these same crashes for over a year you really lose hope for any fix. I crashed 3 times today. Exiting build mode, after using the tripod, and the last crash happened while I was saving and exiting the game.

Has anyone sent in their save file ? I wish I had some insight before I go through the process of trying to figure it out.

I've played Sims 1-3 on PC and even though Sims 3 was an issue for me at times it was never so bad that I wanted a refund for the entire game!!

@Reaganbogan The sharing of a save file is really rather simple and if you are experiencing that kind of crashing I would totally advise you to do that.
I think this crinricts post on AHQ explains the process of sharing a save pretty easily, but please only do share a save if you are asked to do so by someone on the AHQ.
I really feel your pain as I'm as well losing hope and feeling sad and disappointed most of the time nowadays, but if you've been asked for a save and you provide it they _might_ be able to do something at least to keep the game playable for you. This is not how it's meant to be but it's kinda your only option :/ Hope your issue gets fixed!

Can you share save files on console? I wasn't aware that you could.

Glad I read through this, it's made me a little more wary of buying packs! Now I know! Sounds like a headache sometimes

When I moved three Black-eyed teens into a new house last night, one of them is a spellcaster and noticed that using the code to raise her mastery level wasn't working. She goes to practice magic and isn't learning any spells. The bar is stuck at Neophyte and won't go any higher.

Sorry for spamming this everywhere: i want a patch to base game that adds the following:

Sorry, it seems i can't yet create a thread, so here i post my wish for a mod (or patch) that does this:

I want a mod that exactly tell me how old ( in years, if possible even months and days) my sim is, instead of saying... 81 days left, then you turn Adult... (young adult with 81 days left before turning Adult is about a 24 years old person btw, according to my calculations).

I just want the game to tell me i'm 24 years old and not 81 days left of Young Adult.

In real life we have:

Newborns: 0 days-28 days old
Toddlers: 28 days- 1 year old
Childs: 1-2 years old
Still child: 2-6 years old
Again still child: 6-9 years old
Puberty and Teens: 10-22 years old
Young Adult: 22-39 years old
Adult: 40-59 years old
Elder: 60-75
Very Elder: 75-90
Legendary Elder: 91+

So...

Considering the long life span of 364+ days that is 4 times the normal life span of 91 days and considering 1 day in game = 1 year for our sims with normal life spans so they live at least 91 years (not too far off from the average life span of 72.6 years old worldwide in real life).

I thought: ok, i chose long life span, so 4 days in game = 1 year for the sims.

In game we have with long life spans:

Newborns: 0-12 days
Toddlers: 32 days
Child: 56 days
Teeen: 56 days
Young Adult: 94 days
Adult: 94 days
Elder: 40+ days


So to understand how long for our sims a day is ( in a certain life stage)...well, it depends on how long that life stage is in real life.

So...

Doing the maths:

Newborns: 12 in game days/28 real life days means... 1 in game day as Newborn= 0.42857143 real days

Toddlers: 32 in game days / about 11 in real life months means... 2.90909091 in game days = 1 life month for a Toddler, so 1 in game day = 10.31249999677734 real days

Child: 56 in game days / 8 real life years means 7 day in game as Child = 1 real year as Child, so 1 in game days = 54.14285714285714 real days

Teen: 56 in game days / 12 real life years means 4.666666666666667 in game days = 1 real year as Teen, so 1 in game day = 78.21428571428571 real days

Young Adult: 94 in game days / 17 real life years = 5.52941176 in game days = 1 real year for Young Adults, so 1 in game day = 66.01063835405161

Adults: 94 in game days / 19 real life years = 4.94736842 in game days = 1 real year for Adult Sims

Elder goes from 60 to 91+ so 31+ real life years so...

Elder: 40+ in game days so... at least 40 in game days / 31 real life years means 1.29032258 in game days = 1 year for him ( if the elder lives 40 in game days).


So... how old is a Young Adult with 81 days left before turning Adult (with long life span selected)?

He completed newborn so: 12x0.42857143 days

plus

He completed Toddler: 32 x 10.31249999677734 days

plus

He completed Child: 56 x 54.14285714285714 days

plus

He Completed Teen: 56 x 78.21428571428571 days

He entered Young Adult: (you enter with 94 days left, he got 81 days left so 13 in game days passed.

So as Young Adult 13 x 66.01063835405161 days passed.

So he is 12x0.42857143 + 32 x 10.31249999677734 + 56 x 54.14285714285714 + 56 x 78.21428571428571 + 13 x 66.01063835405161 DAYS OLD.... (about 24 years).

One thing I hope they fix is San Myushino's apartment visitors who have trouble talking. For example, an apartment resident has visitors from another town, every thing is fine. But if their visitor is another apartment resident they seem to talk like this:

"It was a... Hmm. We went for... Ha!. And then we... (gestures silently). After that we... Hmm. We got... Ha!"

That’s a vocal track bug that’s been out since CL was released on PC and they haven’t fixed it. It’s the neighbor sorting through mail voice track and it gets stuck. Can’t say I’m surprised it’s still there since release. Haha

A ton of EL bugs you didn't have before/during EL's release pop in during release of Nifty Knitting. It's the norm.

When are we going to get the patch that fixes all these crashing problems?

Try to return to the World map after playing a household (regardless for how long or how short), it crashes.
Attempt to play a household after being in Build mode on another lot, it crashes.

Many of my households that I want to play, it's like the game doesn't even attempt to load it. It's seems it's more of a case of "Nah, don't feel like playing this one so why bother?" As soon as the loading bar completes, the game crashes. It even does it sometimes on new households that worked fine for the first couple of days.

Last night my game crashed when saving it. When I went back into it, I noticed that I had lost about 30 minutes of play time.

Honestly, when is EA going to fix these crashing problems?????

Never. That’s why I stopped playing and started playing other games worth my money and time. ??‍♀️ Just started facing the reality and truth of the developers/EA. They’re not very good.
