Game crashing over and over
109 posts
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

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.
Really frustrating.
Lmao sorry.
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.
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.
Its really not enjoyable at all
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.
But my anonymous town works perfectly well.
It's a memory problem!
EA: HELP!!!
