Into the Future Crash[Mac]
Hey everyone,
I have been playing the Sims 3 since it first came out, and I was also super into the Sims 2 when it came out as well, so I am very familiar with the game. I just recently dealt ...

The best way to start a new, clean, uncluttered game is to move out the Sims 3 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts onto your desktop and relaunch the game. The folder is recreated with no saves/CC/Mods/Downloads and the default graphics. It's like a brand new game only without the uninstalling and reinstalling of the actual game. Launch the game and play around a bit to check it's working ok. Once you're happy with it you can start reintroducing your store content and downloads.
OH! okay! That sounds great. So is there any way at all to save some lots and sims? What about my "design tool" stuff? If not I can try my best to recreate them
As I explained in my previous post, save them to the Library in game then 'share' them. They will be saved to the Exports folder in the Sims 3 folder. You can then install them into your new game.
Not sure what you mean by design tool stuff?
So they'll be saved in the exports folder in my "old" Sims 3 file? Do I just go in and drag them to my new game file?
Sorry, by design tool I mean how you can edit objects to whatever colors and patterns you would like... I can't remember the actual name of it. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yes, in your old TS3 folder. You can double click them and they should install into your new game.
And I think you mean the Create a Style (CASt) tool? I would just save items with the patterns on them, as if you were going to upload them, and they'll show up in your Exports folder.
Hello again 🙂 It has been a while - I have been extremely busy as of late. I won't bore you with the details but I have messed around with my game and nothing seems to work. I finally moved my saves folder out of the EA Games folder and started a fresh game. I created a family but when I went to move them in a house, the game crashed. I remember you telling me that if it didn't work after moving my saves folder, that its my Mac.
I've been really thinking about that and I just don't think that could be... I had been playing Sims 3 on my Mac for about 6 months with no issue. It started when I bought the Into The Future EP. Around that time, though I had bought some other things in the Sims 3 Store.. Could any of that contribute? I'm upset that I can't play my game anymore! It just doesn't make sense.
