Freezing again???
AloeOwl:
OK, I just downloaded the newest version of the 1.8 AM and entered my game. I go in normally and start editing a house I was making. I was continually going back into edit town to save my work. BUT for some reason this time it freezes.
Let me clarify:
- Keyboard commands don't work but I can use my mouse to move around.
- I can't zoom, but when I move my mouse over buttons labels appear normally.
- I entered task manager and for one second it shows that it isn't responding then shows that it is.
- Also, the loading mouse thingy is spinning normally.
This has never happened. What's going on?? I've searched for freezing issues but non of them are like this. I'm lost for words. What should I do?
I must also point out that the cheat console won't open, so I'm guessing my keyboard isn't responding.
EDIT: I didn't realize I didn't say this: Once I click on edit town, it freezes. Not when I try to save.

My Wife was also having this issue, but only with a particular save game, so changing games, rolling back to an older save, or starting a new game seems to fix it. This seems to be the case whenever neighbourhoods go bad. Over my time with sims 3 I've had to start new games and import all my families to the new hood about 3 times to fix corrupt neighbourhood issues, but most those times i've worked out it was due to a particular mod, sim or item in the game world, not AM. In my Wife's case, which sounds identical to yours, we still don't know why it was happening.

Actually I had deleted my documents sims folder to try a fresh game. All I used from before were my saved sims and library. I'm supposing the new patch had something to do with it, since it most definitely isn't caused by the two folders I used (I didn't even use any of my old saved sims!). This patch (As we've all said time and time again) really is screwing things up for us. But then again it could be caused my something else.

I wish we had a way to find out what the current evailuated thing was - I suspect there's something that is iterating to whatever MAX_EVAL is, and then aborting. There seem to be numerous conditions that reach this - because I've seen it in a few games, even one utter stock game in a fresh adventure world with vanilla ts3. Once it starts it seems that it can persist for an arbitrary time until the condition goes away or I lose my patience.
