Links to pics hosted on a third party site like Flickr, as J4Ks said. There is a way to embed them as links, but that's not important we just want to see them once not appreciate them as artwork. :)

The sim unable to go to work might have a corrupt career outfit.

Unless I missed it, one thing you haven't tried yet is pulling your entire game folder out of Documents to the desktop for safekeeping (it can be put back later), letting the game thus generate a new clean folder, and redoing the Framework on the clean folder to see how a couple of mods behave on their own in there.

I just renamed the folder and let the game generate a new folder. I'll re-d/l the framework and resource file. I just had another thought though. How much of this could be due to the game not reading my video card?

Ok, that didn't go so good. Let's try t his again. You can delete the post just above this one b/c the links are bad. Here are the good links: The first one is the actual error msg when the family was just about to load, the second one the contents of my packages folder at that time, and the third is the msg I got when I tried renaming the folder.

Okay, that doesn't mean the contents of your Mods folder are at fault. It means that your game is failing upon trying to read it. The most common causes of "A serious error has occurred..." are
-- Your hard drive is full or doesn't have enough free space for the game to function.
-- Your game folder or one of its subfolders is open in Windows Explorer when you tried to launch and it is locking up some of its contents. Windows doesn't like it when you start the game this way.
-- You don't have sufficient rights to your own Documents folder. This is an operating system issue.

Thanks Igazor! My problem was that I had the files open in Win Explorer. : / Once I put all the mods back into the game and closed out explorer, the game fired right up. :)

Guess we could have saved some time if we insisted on knowing exactly how the game was crashing/which error message was being displayed earlier on. But glad that's all it was. :)

Ok, I put my main save file into the EA folder and fired up the game. I also enabled all of my ep's and sp's. Now all I get is black screen. The game just will not load. I'm going through now to see if there is another mod that is hindering it.

I removed all, but the NRAAS mods and I still get nothing except the black screen. :( Next, I removed ALL package files including all mods and all cc and I still get the black screen. Maybe one of the eps isn't being read? I have win explorer completely closed.

Are you clearing your cache files before loading every time the contents of Mods/Packages changes? Can you get to the game selection screen and start up a new game instead of an ongoing save or is it getting stuck before you get to that point?

If those don't help, pull your TS3 game folder out of Documents to your Desktop and see if you can get a new test game going on the clean game folder that will be generated in its place.

Yes, all of the cache files are cleaned out. I think there is something in that file that is corrupted. All my other sims games start up just fine, but it's just my original save. I can try transferring some of the individual saves and see it that works or if it hangs up.
