Tonight i will restart and make sure no body gets that thing and make sure it does not do that again. I had played the household like I said 2 sims weeks - so I will definitely strive to get past that spot just to make sure.

Some of your apartments have negative price tags. I recall in WA a negative price tag would glitch a lot - not just the house - but i have no clue how it will affect Apt - but they have a 0 price for furnished and a minus price for unfurnished. You also have a few places showing that long EA name with the number and world in them - so you will need to give them a proper name.
But other than the hard freezes with Generations related things the world played fab, was easy to navigate, is well laid out, and does not appear to have any misplaced trees or tears.
I cannot check any further as I can't keep letting my maching freeze up on me like that - so you might have some people without Generations to test it further - that is providing you don't have Generations. If you do, then I have no clue..
ETA - in the meantime I'm going to see if I can't find out as to why Generations things are making it do that. Maybe some of the modders have seen something - as I think it may be in relation to the new way we start the game with the new exe as that is the only thing i see mentioned in the log on all three occassions is that new EXE. Thing is i can't read all those codes so I have no clue what it is saying. If I find out anything I'll let you know.

I am going to test your world some more later today.
Thank you for testing it as much as you did, WR
It looks beautiful, SimRealtor. I love all the different areas you made. :thumbup:
It is a sudden great big freeze that disables everything. It is not the freezes people saw that Dep fixes, where sims stop and everything else goes on. It is nothing like that - it is a TOTAL CESSATION of anything working or moving as if someone suddenly pushed pause - the picture freezes, all the commands - everything freezes solid and you can leave it there for hours and nothing happens. The harddrive is not searching for an answer - like you see when something is incompatiable - it just stops period. If it was lag, you have the pc looking for solutions and the game will eventually either start up or crash. This will not do either. It won't crash, it won't start up, it is as if i shut off everything and left the last picture up I was looking at . When I shut it off in Task Manager - it shuts off instantly - no emptying caches - no nothing - just instant shut off. The only facts I have to go on is the game log error report which shows that new EXE - and other than that no other information. So it tells me is that EXE responsible. But the fact I play three other worlds without getting that with the same sims says it is not my pc or the game itself, but a combination of factures that is somehow creating a virtual - STOP GAME - as if it has been massively paused. It is one of those instances one does not know who to consult - the world maker, the game maker, or my pc tech. The fact I cannot duplicate this action in any other world so far leads me back to your world where it is guaranteed to happen. Last night I loaded 10 worlds of various sizes just to see if it would do that using the same sims I used in your world - but so far i have checked out 5 of them and even Stw big Sand point does not do this nor does RFlongs new Little Legacy Island do this.
But i loaded up besides those two - Awesome Cove, Grey Meadows Island, Positano Italy, Plum Grove, Riverdale, Green Valley, Small World, Sunset Valley Second Edition, and rflongs redux Mone Key's Island. Half I have played and passed the same challenges and had no freeze with the same sims.
But for regular worlds I play I have Broken Hearted Island, Mesa Valley, Mesa Island, Longview, Longview II new version, Picaroon Island, Plunder Island, Harmony, Red Desert, and Two Mile Island. I play each of these several days during a two week period and have tried all of them since I got in Generations but EA's worlds and two of these. I have another one two I have removed that was a regular because the World Editor messed it up, but even in that one that had lag due to the world editor I did not get this freeze. It is possible it might be all those zero and negative prices on apts or the misnamed lots perhaps, as I cannot find anything else wrong with this world. THERE IS ZERO LAG though, so looking for lag where none exists is sort of strange. This is not lag. It's major shut down only the game does not have enough oaf to shut off or something. If it shut off i could call it a crash, but it isn't even that. The crash analyser does not see any crash - but I certainly can't move.

So, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the issue itself - I am about 98 percent sure this is not necessarily specific to any world - so it's not your fault and probably not anything you can do about it; but suggest to users to retry the world again. It may be a combination of factors that is creating a stop game freeze - but the main one seems to be the new memory system in a brand new world. I don't know about your world, but I know a lot of creators will not install a new ep or update when they are close to their world being finished - then a tester like me comes along with all eps and all updates and tries the world and introduces a bunch of foreign stuff -( commands and stuff from EA no less) that this world has absolutely no information on including a new exe - and when one of the new - and major commands like the memory system is triggered - it goes against what was initially programmed into the world - so it just freezes. It does seem if players do not respond to the trigger - the thing that comes up when you get a new memory to record it, and instead just play the world without hitting that trigger may allow time for the world to be fed the information from the game engine it needs so it can handle all these new commands.
Now I am thinking perhaps if the creator has the new ep and new update and plays their own world and then put the world up for download - it might instill in the world the new information - but then I also do not know if you have done this or not. If you have, then that throws that theory out the door. Because Tangie said her second time repeating the same steps did not cause the freeze - which suggests that in her game this world now has the new information it needs to process what it couldn't process the first time just by her playing it.
I'm not sure if this makes any sense at all to you, as I am still going through this in my head and trying to put two and two together -
I also believe I might know why the other worlds i installed to test didn't do that, as not one of them did I click on the memory thing if it was triggered, as I just wanted to see if any would just freeze by doing normal stuff. Either that or because I did not play them long enough - as a few were not worlds I was asked to test or that I would have been interested in anyway. So still trying to figure it out, but rest assured it seems to be more a game configuration problem with the new ep and update over any thing.
Just wanted to keep you abreast anyway. Let me know when the final is up - i will still give it a run through because quite frankly I want this new world of yours anyway. hehehe - So I want it to work probably as much as you do. hehehe
