Game crashing over and over

Prev1
My game has crashed nearly a dozen times today.The lag and constant crashing needs to be sorted out quickly. Why should I bother pumping any more money into this game if it's going to be completely unenjoyable/playable for the next three weeks

    Same here. Can't visit KL or visit my neighbors at all, and it randomly crashes when I'm scrolling around town. Hoping the update to fix the update comes soon...

    I am playing using an ipad3 and the game has been intermittently freezing.

    I have to close the game and wait a few minutes before it will unfreeze. I usually go play sims Freeplay, as have tried closing and then re-opening, which doesn't suffice. Unless allow a few minutes the game is still frozen. My issue only happens in my own town, so far at least.

    Yup, freezing, crashing and refusing to load KL. It also often deletes my friends towns, although if I restart the game they come back.

    Really frustrating.

    As the thread I was complaining about lag myself. Someone had posted that there is a stuck character. Sure enough my hitmen Legs was gone. So scan your people or start randomly putting char buildings away. Some say Nelson is a big cause. Hope this helps some.

    When you "wait a few minutes", the app's memory is basically just being reallocated when it's in the background. Instead of waiting, speed the process up by double tapping the home screen. If you have ios6 then you'll have a bar on the bottom open. Click and hold the Simpsons app until an X appears and click it to force close. If you have ios7, the screen will show the list and just flick the Simpsons app up to force close. Either method you can then reopen the app immediately.

    is there any fix to this issue? my game still keeps freezing and closing, reinstalling, force closing, nothing has helped. I am getting sick of not collecting money and now goo, because every time I try to click on something the game freezes and boots me out. It's beyond annoying at this point and its taking the fun out of the game

    Mine often crashes when I'm trying to visit neighbours, so annoying. Sometimes I just need to turn my ipod on and off again and then it's fine, but a lot of the times that doesn't work :cry:

    The crashing is getting worse. I guess there are some processes that are ****##ing up the memory of my Galaxy Tab 3.

    Some things I have observed:

    - It doesn't happen as many times and as severe on the iPhone 4 of my girlfriend; so the os could have something to do with it. (my GT3 is brandnew)
    - On the iPhone only the game crashes, while on the GT3 the whole Tab is being screwed and has to be booted.
    - My girlfriend (luechsli) can easier access her town on the Galaxy Tab 3 than me (woelfli304) - so I guess the size/proportions or characters/setups maybe have some kind of influence on the memory problem.
    - Over the last 24 hours I was only able to access my town on the GT3 when I first entered the anonymous town and then my main town (woelfli304).
    - The crash happens
    a) right after the first screen (Gracie Films/Fox/EA) -> black screen/Tab crashes
    b) after the "welcome back, woelfli304"-screen
    ba) before and
    bb) after the halloween sound
    c) during tasks on my home town. One crash was for instance when Count Burns transformed into a bat - the tab gave up.

    And then there was this funny screen:

    Game & tab crashed and so I had to do the printscreen with my phone camera ...

    Please help - it's really getting annoying.

    Game has been booting me out since yesterday and it's pretty obvious that it's because of the Halloween event.
    At times, after the loading screen kicks in (spinning donut), it would go straight to black then crash.
    The VERY rare times that I actually do see my town, the game would immediately crash again the second I tap on the screen.
    What sucks more is that the longer I'm not able to enter my own town, the more Halloween items are going to continue piling up. Plus, all the icons of finished missions and rent collecting will be all over, so combining all those with the haunted houses, spirits & gremlins is just messing up the game play and connection.
    I'm sure my neighbors have been getting dc'd once they hit my town too.

    I forced stop, removed and re-installed and used another device to log in, but nothing.

    Freezing for me and I have a brand new Galaxy 4. As 10 million people have mentioned, has to be the game.

    It's official: I can no longer open my towns woelfli304 and baerli304 on my brand new Galaxy Tab 3.

    But my anonymous town works perfectly well.

    It's a memory problem!

    EA: HELP!!!

    I can log in 2 of my 3 towns but my main town logs in, donut spins then it crashes to the main phone menu. I see where people have been reporting this issue to EA for MONTHS on their help page and STILL no fix to it. I'm gonna quit if they don't fix it soon. I'm boycotting my other 2 towns til it's fixed even cause how long til they have the issue too. THIS is why I refuse to spend money on this game, if they would stop having issues like this I would gladly buy donuts

    game freezing over and over, each time after about 30 seconds of play, on iPhone 5s. I've hard closed the app and restarted the phone several times, to no avail.
