FT: game keeps crashing when sim is about to become elder - SOLVED

<< < (6/6)

Aggie:
Crash, I would advise a reinstall if the folder removal technique did not work. Back everything up and try it.

Crash:
yeah, I guess. I am just confused.

What's the definition of 'working' in this case?

When I removed the entire downloads folder the aging did work. But how would some random sofa object I downloaded interfere with the aging? Would custom eyes interfere? What kinds of CC are we talking about? I thought only Cc that are connected with the sim or the sim that I age 'with' my sim would be interfering? Like skintone, custom eyes, hair and clothes?

And how is it possible that I get different results with the same folder content?

But yeah, I guess I have to do a reinstall, but I still would like to know how this works - because if it is indeed some CC causing this, what will stop it from causing the same error when I reinstall?

Zazazu:
You'd have to do boolean (half-in/half-out). Most likely it's a body cc file, though, so might as well try removing hair/eyes/skins/makeup/clothing/accessories first. See if bug reoccurs. Half in, see if occurs.

Jelenedra:
If the game crashes with the defaults, (I am assuming those are default replacements you mean) Try a different set.

Crash:
Guys, you've helped me alot!

Folder removal technique PART 2:

I took Zazazu's advice and redid the whole folder removal technique - I removed all folders with any connection to the sim: defaults, skintones, eyes, hair, clothes etc. Including saved sims and a weird folder I had named 'Unknown'  :P

After that, the game worked, so then I added back one folder at a time - and cleared cache in between every time- until the game crashed again. It turns out there was some skintones and such placed in a folder where it shouldn't be, that's why I couldn't find it before. Apparently I had put some files from sims I had downloaded and installed in there.  :-\

After I removed most of the files in that folder, I got the game to work. I have now aged two sims to elder! Yay!

I am hoping I won't run into any trouble again soon...this was energy draining. But thanks to you guys I don't have to reinstall my game. Thanks.
