My game crashes, please help!

<< < (8/10) > >>

Kristof:
I think I found one of the bad files.
Part 2 folder of the folder 3 (thuh.. a bit complicated) doesn't crashes anymore in the deco - misc section :)

Kristof:
When I put only folder 3 in the downloads folder, it runs perfectly.
I tried loading my game with ALL the CC, and it crashed. Any ideas?  :confused:

Didn't you say you had a crash in Folder 5? What happened with that?

You might also have what I call a "sleeper conflict". I just had a crash situation like that. I hadn't downloaded ANYTHING in the last few months except a few clothes. I hadn't played the game for a few months, either.

It turned out in my case that I had two conflicting files that independently worked fine, but if I put them both on the same lot, they crashed. Now I was lucky. I thought long and hard about what I did recently, and realized that I had put the two modded objects together in one household for the first time ever. I simply deactivated the old one using the Clean Installer, and there were no more crashes. As soon as I actually have time, I'll check all my lots in all my neighborhoods and make sure that the older modded object is gone off all lots (it should disappear completely, but I need to make sure, using several lots to check); this time, deactivating the new modded object. I will probably then delete the older object for good.

Downloads can be a tricky thing. :(

Theraven:
Something conflicts with something else. Or you just have too much CC in at once... The game has to generate thumbnails for everything, and sometimes if you've got a lot of downloads it's too much to handle for the memory, and you get a memory crash.
One way to figure out if that's the problem, is to put in the folders one by one, click and place every object, and use all items in CAS, so that the game generates thumbnails for them. If it still crashes, then it's not the thumbnails.

My own XP laptop (512mb of memory) spent ages (about 1-1.5 hours) loading if I had more than 9GB of downloads. It didn't crash so much, but computers tend to be different...

Did you try to check all the hacks/mods together, by the way? Could be some are not compatible with each other, or not compatible with your EP/SPs.

Yes, I loaded my game only with folder 5, and it was fine.
I'm loading it now with folder 1, 2 and 3. I have to play with the folders to see which are the bad ones.
