Sims 3 crashes when loading a family.

<< < (2/2)

Slymenstra:
I was having the same problem and I did a few things and it now works.  I started off with a total clean install.  I noticed my games were not all properly patched.  So I decided to start from scratch.  Loaded the game chose a household, loaded it, unpaused and CTD.

So I then did the DEP fix and added all of my Sims 3 exes to the list.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700810.aspx  The area that is important is "Enabling the DEP Exception List"

That for me fixed it.  I was able to play.  I readded my CC and hacks slowly.  Items that have altered scripts crashed my game so I removed them.  Example was Treeag's treasure box.

I then added back my saved sims, saves and Library.  All of a sudden crashing to desktop.  Finally I found it was my Library that was crashing me.  I did have a lot of houses, sims, and sims with houses in there.

I just totally deleted and can play just fine now.

I am not sure if that will help you, but maybe this will help someone.  I spent a lot of hours trying to figure it out.

Mr Crinkles:
   The Crash Error Log tells me I need 3 - 4 GiB of memory. Now, the LN box says 1 GB, and I have 2.7 GB Ram. Why would the Crash Log tell me I need more? This happens with no mods/CC of any kind installed.

If you're on XP, you're fine.  On Vista or 7, you really should have another gig or so of RAM.
