Sims 3 crashing on loading screen
I've been through the threads/reddit/EA customer support and believe I have to give up on attempting to solve the issue. I have one save file that crashes on the loading screen, without fail. It was working just fine the day before and I saved and closed as normal. Today, it is not possible to open this save file anymore. There is no CC or mods used. I have since redownloaded the Sims 3, emptied the cache, opened the game with the lowest graphics settings in windowed mode -- nada. I'm playing on a Mac, OS up to date. It didn't work in 'safe mode' either. EA customer support suggested I post here to document that the issue could not be resolved. If anyone out there knows of some magical way of retrieving the lot I was building, I'm all ears. I logged quite some (read: much too many) hours on this home renovation before the issues started and I would be over the moon to see it again.
Trouble getting worlds/content to work
Hi there. I am having a bizarre issue. So I downloaded a custom world called Hawsimoor which heavily uses roaring heights, when I loaded the world, almost all the buildings were missing. So I uinstalled both roaring heights and the custom world and reinstalled. And again it does the same. I also notice when I load roaring heights, some of the shells are missing there as well.
Tired of losing co-workers to other "jobs"?
I have been frustrated playing sims who are forever losing co-workers to showtime careers. After looking all over the web and finding no real solution other than major tweaking with one NRaas mod that still didn't guarantee no co-worker loss, I tried a simple solution. I created a household of eight NPCs with random traits and gave three of them the LTWs that would ensure they would want to be a singer, magician, or acrobat. This worked for me as I saw the random sims around town doing "acts" and my sims were able to progress all the way to top in both their careers without losing a (young) adult co-worker. One sim in the sports career lost one co-worker once, but I think that was an elder sim. Any way, sometimes there are simple fixes we don't think. I know other sims have looked for a solution barring uninstalling Showtime, so I thought I'd share this idea. Happy simming.Sims 3 64 bit not showing in Library on EA App
After origin was discontinued and i was forced to download EA app to access my games i noticed the Sims 3 64 bit version was not in my library. After speaking with an EA agent they said they had added it onto my library but i could still not see it. After 3 hours and 4 agents i tried everything from safe reboot, reinstalling the app, clearing my cache and writing a code through my mac terminal. Every single ticket or case i raised was marked as 'fixed' despite the issue not being resolved. I have been trying to contact EA Help via twitter (X) for months and have been given 0 response. I was told by one agent to keep an eye on socials. The sims 3 is an old game i dont think EA will be updating this issue on socials when the churn out a £35 dlc for the sims 4 every month. I am now left with a game i cannot access, 0 help from EA and no further way to access live chat as after clicking start chat it says ' 0 agents available' . How are EA allowing this ? very dissapointed. Can anyone help me with this please. I have a mac book pro 2019, Intel core i5 and ventura 13.6.6...
