I have Into the Future as my only DLC, and I just installed the Master Controller - all of them because I wanted to have more than 8 sims, ErrorLog, WooHooer, Traveler, StoryProgression, and PortraitPanel, and my game won't even start a new game, and I've tried to Origin > Repair Game and disabling ITF, nothing. So, can you please help me? Thank you.

It gives out no error codes and just exits the game.

Well, let's try to find out . First, what is your version of the game? Secondly, are you sure that everything is installed as it must be? One slightest mistake and the game will certainly refuse to work correctly. Third, are you sure you didn't accidentally install a module of some mod without having a base mod?

If you happen to have the MasterController Progression add-on module but not the StoryProgression mod, the game will crash on startup every time. The MC Progression module is not a substitute for StoryProgression, it is a bridge between the MasterController base mod and the StoryProgression base mod and requires both base mods to be in place.

Okay, igazor. since I'm on a different computer than I installed TS3 on, I'll install the base mod for MasterController later.

Also, I have version 1.69.

I see igazor already knows all the possible causes of the crash. Maybe it would be worth adding descriptions to some mods that will not work without something? Admins and old-timers know how any mods complement each other, but beginners often face a similar problem. On the old site, for example, it was more clearly written that you cannot live without the basic module.

tyson67roberts, your version of the game is fine. I was asking this on the off chance that you could purchase the game five years ago and leave it without an upgrade to better times.

Sara_Darkees, - I am aware of the shortcoming in the module descriptions page but those pages are not unlocked for editing. Only Chain_Reaction can fix that.

You downloaded the 1.69 version of errortrap not the 1.67 version? Both are on that’s page and I know I have made that mistake once or twice. That one has to be the correct version for the game, most other mods here are compatible with both 1.67 and 1.69 as they are script mods not core mods.

Mandelyn - The wrong version of ErrorTrap, 1.67 vs. 1.69, shouldn't make the game crash. It should only cause the core version mismatch warning to display. Some players will end up with the game minimized or stuck to the task bar when this happens (admittedly the stuck the task bar thing is almost as bad as a crash though). Except for the core version check, all three current releases of ErrorTrap are v100 and are exactly the same as each other.

It's when the game or Core Mods are on/for Patch 1.63 or earlier where serious issues like corrupting ongoing games can happen when a mismatch occurs and the warning is ignored.
