Sims game stops responding when entering lot

[animefangel]

It works perfectly until I enter a lot. It loads it up but it doesn't take me there. I had boolprop testingcheatsenabled true turned on, but turned it off (false) and that didn't fix the problem. I can create families, and pets. Go to the downtown, vacation spots, and universities, but not the lots. It's been three days since this problem started and I want to play my families. I created a family and had them move in, but it didn't load the lot. I got out of the game and back in and the family was in the lot. This time it loaded the family , but they didn't do anything. They just stood there. I could still click on them and tell them what to do, but they wouldn't do anything. Is it boolprop when you can click on the mailbox and it says something like 'make me know everyone'? I tried turning it off again, but it's still doing it. This happened three days ago and now it won't even load the lot. Now that I think about it it did something like this last week, but after a few tries it started to work. Now it won't. Help please!

Greatest likelihood is that you have incompatible or conflicting custom content in your game.

Often times, it can be an item or a hack that comes along with a custom lot you may have installed.

Ferreting out and removing the offending file(s) will fix the problem.

Time consuming to do all the steps, but more than worth the effort.

One other possibility is that you have one or more unpatched EPs/SPs. If so, get the proper patches and install them.

I had a similar problem. It wouldn't load, it just stayed at the loading screen forever. So I reloaded the game and it loaded fine, but none of the sim's plumbbob showed up, and they wouldn't move at all.

So I put in boolprop testingcheatsenabled true to see if any error messages popped up.
It did, it was a CC problem, so I pressed 'delete', and it worked fine.

I'm not sure whether or not I was meant to do that.. but it worked for me.

So I would guess that its a CC problem. Try taking all your CC out of your downloads folder and loading it again. If it works, it's definitely the CC.

Thanks everyone. It was the CC and it's solved. I think. I haven't really been playing it lately sooooo...
