Thank you Gazania and Theraven.


I have some modded objects: they are poseboxes. I deleted all of them (maybe 7 -8) because I don't really need them. I loaded the game with all the CC and without the poseboxes, and it crashed.
And I made some other variations:
folder = f

f1 + f2 + f3 + f4 + 50 % of f5 = CRASH (tried already with the other half of f5)

f2 + f3 + f4 + f5 = OK
so it's fine without folder 1...

then I removed all the bodyshop files (hairs, makeups, clothes...) - I can live about them, I always just decorate houses, don't make sims.  That was 405 MB and 1 175 files. Without them, it CRASHED.

having too much files could not be a problem then, I think.
I'm looking for other modded objects / hacks in my DL folder with download organizer.


@theraven: what is the thumbnail thing?

here are the news, I put there folder 5 + 1 other folder

folder 5 + folder 1 = OK
folder 5 + folder 2 = OK
folder 5 + folder 3 = OK
folder 5 + folder 4 = OK
folder 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = CRASH

I removed some stuff from folder 5, I'm loading the game without them. From the 600 MB of folder 5, I left there 400 MB, and I removed the rest 200 MB.

It works perfect with folder 1, 2 and 3 in the downloads folder.
I'm trying to put there folder 4, so it will load with 4 folders.
Will see.

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.

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? 

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

Yes, I'm doing this right now.
Thanks Ed

ok so I put there all my downloads without folder #3. it was PERFECT!
then I seperated folder 3 into 2 other folders, 50 % in part 1 and the other half in part 2 folder. I loaded my game with part 1, it crashed. after I loaded it with part 2, and it crashed too.
so both part of the folder crashed my game.

how to continue, what do you think?
I'm trying to find the bad file.

Yes, maybe there's the problem is folder #3. I just can't understand something. Before this whole crash thing, I had exactly the same files, like now. And I had no crashes in the misc. section. But now I do...
but thanks for the tip, it would be  lot easier like this.

And I noticed that I have another crash in folder #5, in the sculptures section, near the end. So I have these 2 crashes.
Tomorrow I'll try to put only folder 1, 2 and 4. And will see
*hunting for a bad file*

Yes, I did this, I made a new folder every day when I put a cc into the game, and if it was okay, I deleted.
but I think I started doing this too late (some months ago) because I already had the bad file before

so you think I should try the 50 / 50 method?

Gazania: I have Nighlife, I installed all the EPs, and I have some SPs too.

Ok so I used the sims2 file compressorizer, from 14,5 GB it made 8 GB! I seperated all my DLs to 5 folders. I put the first in the game folder, I went through the folder in game, deleted all the stuff that I don't need. And I did this with all of the 5 folders. I deleted more than 600 mb, but... In the folder #3, My grame always crashes when I click on Decorations -> Misc.
After, I put there the whole DL folder, started the game, and it crashed when I clicked any object, it started to load the object, after it crashed.
Why is this?

Maybe the problem could be that I put the whole DL folder in the game. Should I put it there like the folder #1 first, after folder #2, then folder #3 and so on... should I try this?
THANKS!!

Okay, thank you I'll do this. I'm patient so if I'll have to look through on the DL folder to find the bad file, I'll do that.

Yay, I'm so happy, I loaded my game totally vanilla, and it worked! It loaded for about 2-3 minutes (oh what a dream!) without any stuff in the game.

Thank you so much for the help everyone, you're all amazing!

And what should I do know? Try to put back the CC, or?
THANK YOU!

My Downloads folder is already moved to the Desktop.
And I'll try some other things tomorrow, for today I'm finished, here's evening already and I'm totally dead, so I'll go to bed now and tomorrow I'll try out some other things, thank you for your help, I really appreciate!

Hm, starting the game vanilla means that totally empty, without any downloaded stuff?  
If I can get into the game again, I'll surely delete lots of files, I already wanted to do this, just never found the time (and the mood).


*Caffeinated.joy: thank you for the help! I had graphic problems last year, from january till june, because I got a new graphics card in june, it's ASUS AH3650 and it worked perfectly till now.
