Hi,
I have a macbook pro OSX 10.6.8 w/ 2GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3. I'm playing with the sims 3 delux (ambitions), latenight, and custom content including mods such as "cmomony poseplayer package," "granthes OMSP package," "Buzz AgingManager," etc.

My problem is that once I updated the game about two months ago, the only interactions my sims have been able to have are "mean" ones. Other than that, they won't interact. I've played then minimized the screen, then extracted each of the mods mentioned above one at a time and brought back up the game to test it to no avail. Do I have to re-start the game each time to test which one of these is causing the problem? Or is there an easier way. I know that Dashboard doesn't work for macs, so I'm kind of out of luck there. But if someone knows something I don't I'd be very very grateful.

PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
tukutookx

Sims 3 - Incompatible CC
Every time you patch or install a new EP, most of your hacks will need to be updated or removed. If you are having any kind of problem and you've just patched or installed a new EP, remove all your custom content and delete your cache files (http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Sims_3_Delete_Cache_Files). Then, unless the problem is specific to one sim or lot, make a new town and see if the issue occurs there too.

If, having done so, the issue is fixed, then you have some incompatible CC. Any hacks - things which change the game's behaviour - are likely suspects and should be updated or removed; things like objects, clothes, hairs etc are generally safe.

It worked! Thanks for the help! I found out which mod it was, after removing behavior altering mods, the game worked, fine, so I narrowed it down by slipping them back into the game one at a time and it turned out to be one that allowed vampires from latenight to drink from anyone; called "VDrink_from_everyone+Ask to"
I also ended up deleting some custom content packages that were the main cause for the ridiculous loading time I've been loathing. Thanks so much again!

Best,
