@Jaydee2906 Your save is using a lot of memory but not so much that that's definitely the reason it crashed. For the sims floating when sleeping, please evict the household, save the house itself to the bin, bulldoze the lot, place a copy of the house, and put your sims back. If you do this in one Edit Town session, without saving and replacing the sims themselves, they'll keep their jobs and relationships but lose their promised wishes and opportunities. If you don't like that result, there are workarounds, but please test this first; it's easy enough to quit without saving.
I still need a few things from you though:

I still need a few things from you though:
- a dxdiag
- the values you see when you use the fps on cheat
- the optimization guide you followed
Good evening,
My computer was recently repaired, so the issue with The Sims 4 is most likely resolved. Additionally, I evicted my family in The Sims 3, moved them back into their house, and deleted the house itself.
I used DxDiag to create a report, and I also activated the FPS cheat, which showed my max FPS at 165. The reading confirmed it went up to 165, which I believe is the maximum limit. I followed “The Sims 3 Performance & Bug Fix Guide 2024” by Anime_Boom, available on the Steam website.
Attached, you’ll find a screenshot of the DxDiag report and a screenshot of the section you sent me earlier (the most recent crash).
P.S. I think I may have overlooked your question about moving, as I see I forgot to respond to it. My apologies for that. At the time, I moved using the "Move" option on the phone.
Thank you again.
@Jaydee2906 This particular Sims 3 crash, the one that generated the info in your screenshot, happened because the game ran out of memory. (No matter how much RAM you have installed, the game itself can only use ~3.7 GB due to its being 32-bit.) That, in turn, is usually due to an overly complicated world or very active mods overloading the game engine. So I would suggest testing with only NRaas mods, if you have them, but NOT StoryProgression.
Let the game clock run for a few sim-minutes, then put Sims 3 in windowed mode, open the Task Manager, and see how much memory Sims 3 is using. Play for about 20 minutes, if you can, and check again. Let me know the values you find.
Moving sims to a new world via the phone's Move option can be a problem because sometimes bad data comes along for the ride. Since this method doesn't preserve the old world or much of its data, it's best to save your sims to the library and place them in a new save, quitting the game in between steps. If you wanted them to have a connection to the old world, there's a way to do that with NRaas Traveler, but you'd need to have a copy of the save from before they moved to redo the transition.
Please do let me know if you run into any more Sims 4 issues as well.
For the scripterror, the "error" is a problem with the program reading the file. Please open it in Notepad and copy and paste its contents into a reply here. But it may not be relevant if you keep getting out of memory crashes.
