I really hope you answer, but it does work after removing the files so i can download, but when move the files back of course the game still won't run. So do i just have to cut down on my cc or is there another way.

@Simoholic1722 It's not the amount of custom content necessarily; the more likely cause is that you have one or more corrupt items installed. If you can find and remove those items, or the file(s) they're in, you can keep the rest of your cc. Try this guide; scroll down to Method by Mell:

Don't know if you will see this, but I'm playing my sims 3 again after many years..sick and tired of the sims 4 and miss everything about S3. I also had the same problem and tried what you said and it really worked. Thanks.
