Game will not start

<< < (8/11) > >>

Daria:
coconnor's information worked for me too, although my game is still randomly being killed by something (it crashes to desktop with no warning).  

The MTS2 link advising how to stop Windows from causing it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem, although I find it very easy to believe that Windows is behind this one rather than the game itself, simply from the fact that it falls over completely cleanly - one second it's running, the next I'm looking at my desktop and the entire Sims3 process has gone bye-bye.

So at least I can get the game to load again: now I just can't keep it running. I've tried creating new neighbourhoods and new Sims in case something's corrupted, but it's still borked.  My only hack is Awesomemod, and no cc anymore aside from a half-dozen custom hairs that I'm going to take out before trying again.  I really didn't want to do that, since they're very pretty, but as Blackadder says, "(you do what you) must when the devil vomits into your kettle".

I'm getting Windows 7 shortly; if removing the hairs and starting a new neighbourhood doesn't work, I might just give the whole thing a miss until then since it'll require re-installation at that point.

Same thing happened to me as-well. Someone here suggested using the Awesomemod story driver feature and it worked for me.

Incognito:
I have tried all of the advice in this threat, but when it came to following the advice quoted by coconner on installing the files into the World Adventures root installation directory, I find that I don't HAVE any World Adventures folders, just those for the base game.

aymiee:
Can we all stop being retarded and install the framework in the WA directory please? TY.

Oh look, the noobs who said it was flawed and it didn't work are all managing to get it to work when they READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I'm proud of you all!
