Weird Crash --- can't find any sort of solution.
Daz:
Hey everyone, I've been searching foreverrr for a solution to this, but I can't find one that 100% applies to me and solves my problem. Well, my game crashes to the desktop every time I get to the main menu and choose my neighborhood. It won't even try to load the neighborhood, it automatically closes. It's not random or anything it does it every single time and I've restarted the game about 50 times at least, and it always finishes loading at the first screen. I have the 1.3 patch and I play from the CD. My game is not a crack. I have tried installing enablescripterror and it didn't fix anything either, so I deleted it and still no good. I've deleted the caches about a billion times and still nothing. It's absolutely driving me insane! I have been everywhere and nothing has been a help.
Thank you so much :)

It has been talked about many, many, MANY times here in numerous other threads.
DO NOT USE THE SCRIPTERROR package. It does NOT fix anything. It never did. It never will. It ONLY gives a log of some errors. If you are not a coder or reporting your findings back to one it will do you zero good and in fact has been reported to cause problems for people with the patch.
Again, if you don't have a specific reason for using it, don't use it!
As for the crash, I have seen 80 bazillion people kermitflailing on and on about it but I have yet to come across anyone who claims to know the reason for it. I and many other of us are not getting it.
First off are you using PC or Mac version? If the latter I have no clue about Mac and cannot speak for it.
What I would try is taking out ALL custom content. Everything.
Move your resource.cfg and mods folder somewhere. Move your My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder somewhere.
See if you can still get the game to start. Don't worry about your saves just try a new neighborhood.
If that works then something you downloaded is causing the issue. If not maybe it's a bad patch job, I don't know.
Next time try to search as probably every 5th post here lately is about this particular issue.
Daz:
I knew about the scripterror, but I heard it occasionally solved an issue, so I thought by trying it no harm done.
I am using a PC and I have already tried taking out all custom content (which is only hair) and the Resource.cfg
It won't even let me create a new neighborhood without closing down.
Most people who had this issue, that I saw did NOT have the patch, but I do...so that's why I posted.
Sorry for the annoyance. I really didn't mean to just take up space. Again, the ones I saw didn't have the same things that applied to me.
Motoki:
If you are getting crashes on the base game patch with absolutely no mods or custom content running then it is not an awesomemod issue and you probably should inquire with EA support or at sims3.com or modthesims.info etc.
Daz:
Nope, the base game works absolutely perfectlyy.
