Have you recently downloaded any custom content or mods? If so, try removing it from your Downloads folder and try to start the game. If it starts, then it's possible you downloaded something that requires an EP you don't have. If it still hangs, then there is another problem.

If it was working fine before, there is a good chance the problems are related to something you downloaded.

i am going to try that ..hopefully that will work!!! thanks!

Happened to me. I knew that I had a 'problem' family in one hood and only the night before attempted to play and fix that house after a long period of not messing with it. I took out the neighborhood and the game loaded just fine. (The neighborhood was holiday oriented, so I may attempt to salvage some parts, but it's probably best to scrap it and start over. Besides, might have 'Seasons' by then).

have you put any songs on it? If you have put too many on it, it wont load proberly same with downloads if you have too many it wont work... I know this because my sims 2 has done it about 23 times!! Lol
