Crash, crash and crash, again

(1/5) > >>

My game keeps crashing pretty much everytime I play it. Just at random times, I believe. The only mod I have is to extend my queue to 15 spaces. I don't have Awesome mod either. I do have a bunch of TS2 peggy converted hairs however. I don't know their names but probably their making my game crash? And I should take them out??? (they are pretty suckish anyway)
Or if I downloaded Awesome mod it fix it so it wouldn't crash? Please help; because even with my compulsive saving, it's becoming quite the annoyance :/.

CheritaChen:
Yes, it sounds like one (or more) of the hairs is the culprit. I recommend removing them all, starting up, seeing if you can play for an extended amount of time, then add a few back, try playing for a while again, and if it seems stable, add a few more, lather, rinse, repeat, until you get the current behavior again. Then you'll know which group of hairs has the culprit and can eliminate it/them. When you experience a crash, try to see if the same Sim is always in view, or different Sims with the same hair; maybe that will be a clue, too.

aspinL:
Alright guess I'll try that and just wait for some bonified beta tested hairs to be realeased from where ever. I guess that's what I get for being impatient and sims 2 cc homesick :)

Screw the last message!
I also forgot to mention that before I started this topic my game had crashed in the middle of saving. I didn't really fret about it too much because I know there was a save backup in the folder.
Then I just restarted my game after taking away a few hairs. I get to the menu and notice that my game I have been playing in was not at the beggining of the list of saved games so I scrolled to the end. There it was except; for no thumbnail with my family all standing together, just the empty blue one replacing it. So I clicked on it and clicked the big "play" button. It scrolls back to the beginning of the list and does nothing. I try clicking, double clicking it many more times yet the same outcome. So I think that since it crashed in the middle of saving the file must be corrupted and I exit and delete the save file so now the only other file with the same name in there is the backup save that goes along whenever you save. I restart the game, once again the saved game is at the end with no picture. AND once againnnn, I click on it and nothing happens.
Now... I know that there must be a way to use the backup save in the "Saves" folder or else why the heck would they make one? So. Any ideas to how the heck I can get my save to start up again. (I also have the save that was in the process of saving when sims 3 crashed, it's in my recycle bin of course.)

Really, really! need some help now because I could deal with the crashing but this save was my legacy family. My legacy family that is also the very first family I made when the sims 3 came out. :(

take the ".backup" out of the file name.  Restart game.  IT's ALIIIIVE!!!
