I still have it occasionally. In fact, just before I started up the game this last time I had to restart it 4 times because it kept crashing. I don't mind though because i'm a persistant sob  Grin I check for updates to awesomemod several times a day and update when there is one.

my game stopped the loadup crashes recently - I saw someone else say something about defragmentation, and I did recently defrag, around the time that I noticed I was no longer getting crashes. 
but, sometime around that same time, i also downloaded and installed a config file tailoring awesomemod (didn't update the awesomemod file itself).
either way, I'm happy. no more loading crashes. at least, not in several days.

If it was a problem within the .exe wouldn't everyone encounter this problem? I personally have never had the sims 3 crash while loading and I've had it since release.

The crash is caused by a race condition between two threads, so it won't happen every time.  The crash only occurs under the right conditions, but we have no external control over the conditions.

Intermittent problems like this are actually fairly common, especially with multi-threaded code.

I don't think this level of hostility is necessary
