Freetime Crash Issues
LJaneW:
FYI I have all Expansions as well as Glamour Life, Family Fun, and Teen Style Stuff.
Since the first day I installed Freetime I have been having issues with it crashing. I thought, initially, that it was due to my custom content but now I believe otherwise.
When I first noticed issues I realized I had installed incorrectly, My fault and I should know better. I removed my content than reinstalled properly. So I played for a bit and no issues so I slowly added my content back bit-by-bit, no issues. Than all of a sudden the game started to crash big time. I couldn’t play for more than 5 mins. Without a crash. Then I installed the No CD Patch (Fixed .exe). I played for two or three days without any issues until I started getting better in a few areas of freetime. My issues now seem to have to do with freetime itself. For example; When my sim reached the top of the spy career she got the reward, a listening device, when she used it the game crashed. When my sim won first prize in a cooking contest the game crashed. When my sim got a promotion with a new career the game crashed, twice. When I tried to select a secondary aspiration the game crashed.
I think there are a couple of other bugs that are to do with freetime but not causing the game to crash. My sim seems to be repeating enthusiasm benefits. Meaning, she gained enthusiasm in cooking and was able to serve a cheese platter than a little bit later the same thing. It was the same day and she had not lost or I was not informed that she had lost enthusiasm in food and dining.
The other bug I am not sure of yet. I might be losing days in the seasons when I save and quit. I save at 3 days left and load back up with only 1 day. I am still not sure about that one. I am going to start keeping a better eye on that and correct myself if I am wrong.
There you have it. My issues with freetime! I am certain they do not have anything to do with my content and everything to do with the expansion itself. I will update if I have any corrections or any more issues.
For the record: My specs are fine!

if you've added in the CC bit by bit, and got issues after a time, then it might be the CC you put in last or next to last that is causing the problems. if you have no issues at all without anything of the CC in your game, then it might be a free time issue.
right now, I'm playing without any CC except a few hacks, and my game is running smoothly without any problems or crashes so far.

Here's a problem I've discovered... actually a couple of problems: When I first got the game, I played and I played to see what everybody's "predestined hobby" was. I loved the whole idea of the complete randomness. Turned out not to be so much randomness... several Sims had the same interests! *yawn* Some didn't seem to have ANY innate interest AT ALL! So then I found a hack over at simwardrobe.com called the "Predestined Hobby Adjuster". What THAT does is 2 things... you can view any Sim on the lot's predestined hobby, or you can assign a NEW predestined hobby to anyone on the lot. I figured this would fix my problem, so I installed it. Now EVERYONE'S predestined hobby is sports according to the "predestined hobby adjuster". Keep in mind that I haven't actually TESTED whether or not this thing was accurate in reporting all those Sims' hobbies as Sports, but I just got really frustrated with having to choose a new hobby for all my Sims. Afterall, as I said, the main part about the whole "predestined hobbies" that I liked so much was that it was supposed to be RANDOM!
Anyway, sorry for ranting a bit there, but what it boils down to now is that i actually DO have to get EACH Sim to try out EVERY hobby, and HOPE that they all find one, and that it will be different from everyone else's :/ AARGH!!! *runs around in circles screaming*
Theraven:
well, predestined hobbies are that from the beginning. it's got something to do with the personality traits of the sim. if two sims has got the exact same personality, they'll probably have the same predestinated hobby, too. (at least I think it's this way it works)
