A serious error has occurred...
Alexina:
I've spotted that one guy has commented on what sounds like the same issues I have at http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18226.msg524619.html#msg524619 however since the topic is 3 years old I got a big warning about regurgitating old stuff.
This is something that I've read around on other forums of people complaining about, although nobody seems to know of a fix for this issue or are giving random suggestions that work for some and not for others. I was hoping someone here might know something a little more solid to what causes this and how to work around it. I didn't start getting this error until I started downloading packs and a few packages for multiple storage of items and I'm wondering if that may have caused some file corruption or if using some of the testingcheatsenabled codes might've messed something up.
So what happens is this - it's usually random but I've noticed it tends to happen some time after I've hit the 2nd generation in my family and when there's been a few glitches prop up such as a ghost hunter not getting credit for banishing ghosts or an NPC telling me they're heading out and it's time I left too even though none of my family is at their home. After I've saved/quitted and then try to play the world again I get EA's very own blue screen with the error "A serious error has occurred while loading Twinbrook. Please restart the application" (or sort of similar to that) inside a speech bubble and get sent back to the select a world screen.
Now like the guy from the age-old topic posted I can keep attempting to load the world and eventually it may load up, sometimes it works ok but other times I've noticed my family has befriended a duplicate of themselves and can even invite them over to visit! If the latter happens then a world of weird errors can occur such as if there are any family members not at home when it occurs then shortly afterwards they disappear from the family altogether including their portraits and their duplicate cannot be interacted with despite being a friend of the family, and if I try and invite the duplicates before anything happens and delete them then next time I log into the world I enter an empty home with no ui.
If anyone has any insight on what causes this and how to fix it without having to reinstall everything and start over I'd love to hear your feedback.
Update: Well seems nobody else here has any insight on the cause, however someone elsewhere mentioned about only saving then quitting instead of doing save and quit prevents the error from propping up next time you log in. It does seem to work, but since it's a random occurrance I cannot confirm that this will 100% prevent the error from making a surprise appearance in the near future. It's something to keep in mind for anyone else suffering with the dreaded serious error of doom. Doesn't work after all.
Madame Mim:
So you've decided that if somebody doesn't answer a forum question in 5 and a half hours it's because they possess no insight. Have you considered that:
a. You answered your own question when you pondered the possibility it was your CC causing it.
b. You haven't made any attempt to isolate the problem before you came here expecting us to jump to and fix it.
c. What the hell is your configuration/patch/CC version anyway.
d. SEARCH MOAR!

Did you actually mean 5 and a half hours or did you mean 5 and a half days? The original post was 2nd Feb and it is now the 7th, or 8th, depending where you are.
The 4 points as to why no one answered are still valid, as they are with most of the noobie idiots, and you could also add that no one bothered to read it due to its length and boredom level, also the identification of the actual problem isn't very clear, I have seen mud clearer than the problem description offered here. Not to mention the OP talks about, and mentions, a 3 year old thread while the linked thread isn't quite 12 months old yet.

Not to mention TS3 only came out in 2009. Was this a PSYCHIC thread from three years ago?
Madame Mim:
Obviously time is relative in this thread. I wonder where the black hole is.
