I dont know how but this is my first time i'm having this issue i've had the game since it came out and has been recently crashing since the last update.
Did you change or add anything recently?
CC?
Mods?
I had mods on there but i took them off because i thought that's what was making it crash but it still crashes. How would i move them to a new save file just change the name when using save as?
Not yet but im going to try it now and see what happens
I've learned (the hard way) to save every time my Sims sleep and every time I do any major reconstructions or purchases in Build/Buy mode.

Loki, no it's not mods or cc. Checked.
Gotcha, the OP gave very little initial information. So was just trying to figure out the history of it all.
*shrugs*
Thanks.
I was kind of leading up to what happens in my game. If I play for longer than 25 Sim weeks? I start getting odd little freezes and then the Sim will leap forward to where she should have been. The crashing starts after that. I pretty much never make it to 30 weeks without having to start over (it's why I know so well how to cheat everything back that my Sim lost by having to start over).
I think it has something to do (in my case) with my love of collecting and how I have these massive family inventories to try and keep the money down. I just buy expensive stuff and keep it in the inventory because I don't like seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars accumulating and doing nothing. My file gets too big and bloated and crash!
You can add that to your trouble shooting notes, it's the only time I ever have any sort of game issues.
It's why I asked her how old her save file was, I was wondering if she'd been playing the same one since day one.
I have an 8 gb ram. the new save file seems to be working but not to sure yet
lol I noticed when doing the curator aspiration my game would constantly lag but I have 3 different families i've played since the game came out i have no idea how many sim weeks i've been playing though how do you check that?
LOL!
I have no idea....*blushing*....I only know because I've been obsessively tracking the over zealous random townie spawning. So, every week when I have to pay the bills? I write down the week number, the total population, and what Sims were spawned or deleted by the game that week. It's how I know how many Sim weeks I've been playing that save file.
I'm sure there is a way to know but I don't know it.
Do you play with Origin online?
Do you have a ton of stuff in the inventory?
Maybe try taking Origin offline (if it isn't already) and emptying out the inventory. Once the collection is complete, you can sell everything. It still credits.
If you've been playing the same file since the game came out? You probably are at the 30 week or more mark. I tend to do these marathon sessions. I did the 30 weeks in 1 real life week but then I won't even open the game next week, lol, or something.
Cthu I normally get rid of all that stuff in my inventory, because I noticed the lag when I open the inventory with a lot of stuff in there. Learned my lesson while gardening one day trying to fertilize lol it froze on me. So i figured it was the inventory and sometimes its online sometimes its not mostly offline, only online when i check my downloads from the gallery.

if not can you post computer specs, to post hit windows key + R. enter dxdiag and select ok to run report. then select "Save all information" and a notepad doc will open. copy/paste the whole long report here. If you have win 8/8.1 you may need to copy/paste the report into two threads, thanks!
as for crashing as in any demanding game there are myriad of reasons as to why many are crashing. or to state it in another way, a computer has only a few ways to express many different problems thus its best to just work though all options until you determine your individual issue.
Im on a mac playing on an installed windows OS. So the commands are not working correctly. All I know is that i have 186 GB 28.1 free and a 8gb ram and i believe this windows version is an Ios 7
ah i missed the mac info
That is when the issue occurred, I believe that is the issue was just trying to see if anyone else had a solution.
Thanks.
