Re: Xcpt file

@carolina18c  Please attach your deviceconfig.log to a post; it's in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.  (You'll need to manually open the folders; the file won't show up in a search.)  You can delete your user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in that file that can identify you.

 

Please also list the packs you currently have installed, and the world in which you're playing; let me know whether you're using any mods or custom content as well.

The packs I have installed are World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Seasons, Generations, Supernatural, Pets and University Life, with the Town Life, 70s 80s 90s and Diesel Stuff Packs. I'm playing in Twinbrook. Thanks so much if you can help!

@puzzlezaddict  Forgot to mention I also have no custom content, and all mods have been uninstalled - the problem is my game crashing every time I try to save, despite having just been downloaded. I'm using a save game file I originally created on the 32 bit version.

Re: Xcpt file

@mountainlions123  Does the game crash if you try to save your progress in a new save?  Before doing any other troubleshooting, it's worth testing, just to make sure the issue isn't the save itself.

 

If the game crashes with a new save, please let me know whether you have iCloud active and syncing the contents of Documents with cloud storage.

@puzzlezaddict thank you so much for replying! I made a new game and it saves fine, must have been an issue with the old save. Looks like I’ll be saving a lot of sims to the bin...

Re: Xcpt file

@mountainlions123  If you use mods or are willing to try, the old save might be salvageable.  Let me know if you'd like help with that.

@puzzlezaddict I’m very up for using mods, willing to try anything really! I’d love help, thanks so much

Re: Xcpt file

@mountainlions123  Okay, then I'd start by adding NRaas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and MasterController.  The first two run various cleanup routines on their own, without any need for player intervention; MC doesn't do anything unless you use it to issue a command.  In case you're not familiar, here's how to install mods:

 

https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files

 

With the three in place, try running an MC Town Reset: click on City Hall, select NRaas > MasterController > Town Options > Reset Everything.  The command can take a few minutes to run, depending on the state of the save and the speed of your hardware.  This will also reset your active sims, so be prepared for that; you can disable the reset for the active household in MC settings, but at this point, it's better to be thorough.

 

Once the town reset has finished, let the game clock run for a few minutes, then try using "save as" to rename the save.  If it works, quit, delete the five cache files in your user folder, reload, and see how the save plays going forward.  For reference, the cache files are:

 

  • CASPartCache.package
  • compositorCache.package
  • scriptCache.package
  • simCompositorCache.package
  • socialCache.package

If you can't save your progress, or the save doesn't load at all, let me know.  There are still a few tricks to try, plus if you get any scripterrors in your Sims 3 user folder, they're worth reading.  For those, you'd need to post on the NRaas site, where the mods are still fully supported and people can read the logs; my interpretation skills are rudimentary at best.  And just to be clear, you almost certainly will get at least a couple scripterrors, because ET lists the actions it takes, but many of those are just routine cleanup and can be ignored unless your save is displaying symptoms of corruption.
