For some reason I stopped getting notifications for this post but thank you so much for your help! I stupidly forgot to convert my .packages to .world but after taking them out and downloading them via launcher I didn't seem to run into any problems. I tested it by playing in Los Aniegos with one of the pre made household for 20 minutes. Although, I still don't see any of my saves in the library.puzzlezaddict wrote: ↑November 12th, 2022, 10:24 pmWorlds should never be converted to .package form, let alone merged. While most custom content can be treated this way, worlds and patterns should always be installed as normal through the launcher.
Did you merge or otherwise alter the files for the lots that aren't showing up? If you save a new lot, does it show next time you load the game?
Sims 3 crash logs are typically useless, but this one might be an exception. If this log is correct, you have 10 GB RAM installed and just under 3 free when the game was launched. Sims 3 was using almost all of that when it crashed. Pair that with the very little page file space available, and this could definitely be an out-of-memory crash.
Try again to start this new save, except this time, restart your computer immediately beforehand and don't open anything except Sims 3 and the EA App (or Origin). And before opening anything, check the Task Manager to see how much memory is in use. If it's more than about 3 GB, that's a problem that should be addressed.
Please also let me know if you've artificially capped the size of the page file. Windows would normally increase it as needed, up to a point.

In the future, know that it's perfectly fine to not use the launcher (and is a much more efficient way) to install your worlds as long as you change them to .world and put them in the appropriate folders!
Mods suddenly breaking my game?
Hello I know this thread is old but I've had a chance to sit and assess my mods and I just can't figure out what is crashing my game at the first loading screen.
I first took out all my nraas/ani mods and the game worked. I thought this was strange as I've never had an issue with these mods so I thought it might have been incompatible with another mod. I organize my mods in folders (cars, clothes, objects etc). I took out a folder one by one and the game still crashed. I tried this until only my nrass/ani mod folder was left. And the game crashed with only that. Ive already made tried repairing my game, deleting cache and trying a new fresh folder but nothing seems to be working. I really miss playing and I feel like I've exhausted all efforts. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Do you have the NRAAS Cupcake mod installed, but NOT the Store bakery set? That will definitely crash the game on startup.fruit wrote: ↑April 6th, 2023, 1:31 pmHello I know this thread is old but I've had a chance to sit and assess my mods and I just can't figure out what is crashing my game at the first loading screen.

The other common cause of a consistent crash on startup directly related to NRaas mods is having the MC Progression add-on module in play but not StoryProgression. The module requires both base mods, MC and SP, as it is designed to be a bridge between them and the game will not load if SP is missing.

Okay, let's go back a step or two to see if we can get to just the point where your game changes from stable to crashing on startup.
New game folder, no added content of any kind, fresh Mods Framework but nothing in it except the two test mods (or nothing at all). You can start a new test game, correct?
Add one or two NRaas mods. Let's say Overwatch and maybe the MasterController base mod only, freshly downloaded to make sure we are talking about the current versions. Still good is or is this where the crashing starts? How about a few more NRaas mods (not Ani's yet), then the rest of the NRaas mods you use except for Cupcake, then maybe a custom world, and then a small amount of CC...at what point does the crashing start again?

Should this be split to a new topic?
Can you post your deviceconfig.log to make sure the game is recognizing your graphics card? Have you updated the drivers lately? Is this a steam/disc/EA install? Can you repair or refresh the files to make sure nothing is corrupt or missing?

Thanks for the help. I narrowed it down to 2 folders causing issues. The rest of my Nraas-Ani mods and a folder I have titled "Misc" which is just a bunch of mods I didn't get around to organizing. I've posted pictures of the contents. Any idea which mods might be responsible for the crashing?igazor wrote: ↑April 7th, 2023, 1:15 amOkay, let's go back a step or two to see if we can get to just the point where your game changes from stable to crashing on startup.
