Game continually locks up in buy mode

[crinrict]

And you didn't put back any custom content ?

How did you move your doc folder to D ? Manually or did you use the method to tell Windows that the docs folder is now on d ?

[tamimica]

Right...no custom content.  Everything is gone.

I believe my computer came set up that way from Cyberpower pc...with the docs being on D drive.

edit:

Okay so I had this thought...it started acting up when I moved the base game to D drive.  I moved the base game back to C drive - which now is almost at capacity since its the smaller drive - and now it runs perfect.  I am going to put the rest of the games on the D drive and see how things work.  I thought moving it to the D drive would be fine.  It seems very strange it locked up.

Ok.

Do you have any crash logs (current) ? You'll find those in documents and the they have xcpt in their name.

[tamimica]

No.  Don't have any crash logs that I can find.

Anything here ?

1. Click on Start and then type the following into the search prompt at the bottom: perfmon /rel
2. Press Enter to proceed.
3. A window will open and in there you can click on the red circles with a white X.
4. After clicking the X, the info on the bottom will update. Choose the Sims 3 Critical Event one and right click on it and choose "View Technical Details"
5. Now on the next window, choose Copy to clipboard at the very bottom and post this into a reply to us here.

So no crash.

Could you try the other way round and try if you can run the game on the intel chip ?

I made an edit to one of my posts but I am not sure that you saw it.  

I actually moved the base game back to C and now it runs perfectly.  Almost better since I switched the game to run off the Nvidia card.  I am not sure why this is the case for it to work again with it on C drive.  I put World Adventures on D drive and still everything works great.  It doesn't lock up at all.  But now my C drive almost a full capacity..that was reason for moving it to D drive - hoping to clear up C drive.  

Thank you for all of your help.  I appreciate it very much.

That is indeed rather weird but I'm glad it's working now.

Happy gaming.
