Warning: I just needed to vent. Putting this in Saviorhide.
. . . This game is really starting to piss me off.
I'm not one to complain, or really talk about my problems.. but this is just really starting to upset me. As I feel like I've tried everything. I've never had issues before; however, the only thing I can think of... that could be the problem is when I made my sims3pack files into package files... my entire game comes up, but then it just sits there and stalls. A black screen. After sometime, it turns into a gray screen and stops responding.
I try to take out my custom content and my downloads... to see if that's the problem and of course -- game boots right up. So, I start taking a few downloads at a time... putting them back into the package folder... every thing works.. I put it all back in at the same time and the game won't boot again.
It's like my custom content is either: A.) duplicating itself, or B.) Something in my custom content is conflicting with one another and while it seems like it works when I put a few pieces of content into my folder, and then take it out and try new ones... I'll never be able to find out what exactly it is that's causing it to do this.. because.. it doesn't do it when I put a little bit in at a time. C.)It's like my folder is giving me some kind of limit to how much CC I can have....
Oh.. and yes, I've tried CCmagic (but it's a little confusing), I've tried Delphy's Dashboard as well.
I feel I have two solutions. A.)Uninstall and Reinstall every expansion pack, stuff pack, and the couple of worlds that I have purchased from the store; or B.) Rid of all my custom content completely and start over... once again.
Though, since the game seems to be working without custom content. I'm thinking maybe I just need to uninstall all of my Sims 3 store content because when I try to install .sims3packs it will do this same thing. The little window will pop up (it wasn't doing this the other day when I was installing stuff like this with sims3packs), but like I said.. after the whole.. .sims3pack convert to .package files.. it started messing up...
Sometimes... I feel like just uninstalling this game and waiting for Sims 4.
I think that's why I'm excited about Sims 4 -- a fresh new start. No BS, no custom content problems, no uninstalling tons of expansion packs to just reinstall. Just a nice clean slate.
But I can't. Because, I love this game and I don't want to wait that long to play a Sims game. & this is all a waste of time complaining.. because I'm the reason it's like this. I'm addicted to custom content and cannot just play vanilla.
So, feels good to get that off my chest and now I'm going to go fix my game.
