Crash on resized lots at 7PM -- any ideas?

Nope - no crash even with shrunk-off groundpaint. :( I feel as if I don't fit in! Everyone else has managed to make at least *one* crashing lot
Not me. I haven't had any crashing at all. Not with my lots or anyone else's.
nil:
lol, I could only make a crashing case with ambiguous result for the half gable wall in the base game with LE. 127B. But then the rest are fine.
only with LE1277 did I get some crashing cases.
I guess I've already stated the procedures of my approaches in the testings, so I can't think of reasons other than the HW and OS.
I personally still think there's at least a conflict with the shadowing... probably the arrays for it may not be not interpretted as the way LE/LA treats them or it's interpretted in more than that way..
My standing points are:
1. day/night toggle is related to the sun lighting and shadowing: the direction and coloration (RBG ; more yellowish during daytime while bluish at night) are simply switched
2. 1900 is the time when these switch. If we can start a lot before 0600 to check out the 0700 change, we may further confirm it something in the day/nioght switch that caused a crash.
3. out of tests for the roof crossing the trimmed and the reserved, it shows the shadowing has problems.
I'm making a 20x20 in a 1x1 lot to see if any additional array added will follow the manual preset values.
Inge:
But one person said they had a mod to make nighttime start at 6pm, and they still got their crashing at 7pm. That's how the 7pm walkby rumour started (I think)
nil:
so, what's the mechanism to get the game to switch to the night around 1800?
Does it affect other settings?
If that reported case is true, then my suspected cause is false or that can be an another factor for a crash.
Pretty unfortunately, it can have more than 1 factor. :-\
1. Shadowing,
2. nighttime sounding,
3. what else happens around 1900? Maybe, we need a list of that... :D
dizzy:
Many things like vampires awakening happens at 7pm, plus there are range checks that will come up like IIRC exterminators stop showing up if you call after 7pm.
