This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, Pets, Seasons
Default Sims 3 won't load!
I been trying to play the Sims 3 now for days, I've got everything how I wanted it, but the game won't not load, it kept getting stuck on the town loading screen. So, I removed some of my Mods, hoping that didn't work, tried again, still didn't work, removed more still didn't work and it's come to a point where it's getting more annoying to play than it is playing it, because so far I've done nothing on the damn game. I don't understand why it refuses to load up, please can anyone help me?

Have you made a factory reset? You rename your sims3 folder in your documents (for example, to Sims3. old) and launch the game,that way a new Sims3 folder will be created by the game.Ä°f that works you take only the half of your mods from your old folder and restart the game. if it works then the problem mod is in the other half.Sorry if i wasn't clear enough,i'm not a native English speaker.

Woohooer broke my game. I had to find alternatives. Take WooHooer out and try it then.. if its Woohooer there are alternatives you can use. I'll check back and see if that fixed your game

Also- bad cc can cause games to not load. I see you have a "Downloads" folder, so you must have some cc, since that doesn't come standard with the game. Have you cleaned your cc ?

If woohooer broke your game, you either had an outdated version or you had something else that it conflicted with. (Which can be easy to do...)

I thought that too. But as far as I know it was up to date. It was the #1 mod I would remove and try and test without anytime my game crashed- and 9 times outta 10 it was the offender. It was almost like it was corrupting itself or something, because I could play with it in game for months and months, but as soon as the game crashed for whatever reason, if that mod was in my Mods folder, my game would not boot. NO matter how many cache files, no matter how many other mods, no matter how much cc- it got really frustrating. And after while, I just left it out. Idk what the deal was. I ended up replacing it with a mod from XTC on SexySims2.com - I really like that I can change clothing with it without making them actually change. But yeah. Just my experience The weird thing was once I got my game running, I could exit out and place Woohooer back in my Mods and it was fine again. Very strange.

If still interested, there is a website one can go to get assistance with a crashy Woohooer. It's...somewhere in my signature line I think.

But this is not at all a commonly reported problem with that mod.

Thanks for that! Eh.. I only needed it for a specific storyline. I had a high class escort Sim.. and I wanted the KamaSimtra. It was fun for a while. I have the mod still saved in a (Sometimes Mods I use) folder on my desktop, but atm I really dig this Mod by XTC. I know its not common for sure! Nraas mods are typically all fantastic! I know I wouldn't be here posting about playing if it wasn't for OverWatch - OMG. That mod SAVED my game! And then there are so many more that I have that I can't play without. MasterController for sure!

Hey Op? Did you ever get your game running? I have put together some guides (mainly for myself) for when I break my game. Which is like a dozen times a month probably. An ya know, in my experience its always the last place you look. Most times its not the Mods. (Aside from what I said about WooHooer) But that was only the issue when after it crashed) Most times its bad cc attached to Sims, houses, Patterns, even Sims 2 content.. I have found Sims 2 clothing can make the game run extremely slow. And TS4 content (at least poses) crashes the game altogether. That being said, I have experienced all kinds of issues with TS3 - but never the one you are referring to. Have you ever just let it load? I know sometimes mine can take in upwards of 10+ minutes to load a neighborhood after I clean the cache files and reboot the computer...

Either way - I'll link you my guides, maybe they can help you out. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A COPY OF YOUR SIMS 3 FOLDER FIRST- I don't want you to lose anything you would be lost without!
