Hey Guys, this is my first post on modthesims so I don't know if this is solved already.


Does your game crash on loading? Does your game not load at all?

I downloaded an HQ mod and did what it said in the instructions. Then it told me to delete my cache, and I've never done that before, I went to the sims 3 wiki and said to delete these files

CasPartCache.package

compositorCache.package

scriptCache.package

socialCache.package

I deleted my files and loaded the game, it crashed when it was loading so i thought it crashed from the HQ mod, (my laptop is old) so I overwrite the graphicsrules.sgr with my graphic rules.Then I deleted the cache files again, and started the game, it crashed Again. Is it crashing because I deleted the wrong cache files? someone help!!!

those cache files you mentioned are safe to delete. you can, and should, also delete the files in the thumbnails folder.

1.did you install the correct hd mod? compatible with your current patch?
2.try placing back the original graphics rule, does it still crash?
3.does it give a message when the game crashes?
4.did you installed anything else? like mods or hack?
for example, when i installed a mod that wasn't compatible with my sims 3 patch the games crashed even before loading.

I can't even overwrite my hd graphics card with my old one because everytime I do It says it dosen't support this cd format, I've been trying to solve this problem for weeks and still, I cant overwrite it, I can't wait to play sims 3,

we are talking about the graphic rules still (not card), arent we? when you downloaded the mod and read the instructions on how to install it (by overwriting EAs graphic rules with the new one) and you did that. simply do that again BUT drag (copy paste whatever) the original file back. i really hope you kept that graphic rules (GraphicsRules.sgr) file.

also if your labtop is old, you maybe should not use any hd mod at all. it could damage your computer.
