Game won't finish loading (The Sims 3)

by Guest Sat 17 Aug 2013, 19:54

Hello,

I have installed The Sims 3 + All the expansions (not stuff packs) up until University Life. I have applied the latest update fix and the ultimate fix. The game launches fine, but when I load a town. The green bar seems to stop forever with a tiny silver bit of loading left. I am not sure what to do. (I saw how great you guys have helped others and thought I could make account to share my problem as well).

Hello,

At this point I'm not sure, unfortunately, if there are so many options for you. My standard explanation in such a case would be that the loading of a town can take a while to complete.

But do you have any mods installed ?

I don't have any mods installed. And I have left the room for hours before coming back to the same loading screen.

Though, I have installed everything inside D:\The Sims 3. And in the folder, I have created a folder for each expansion and install them there. I wonder if this could be the problem?

I am a little bit surprised that you can actually start your game. Shocked

But you are NOT supposed to make installation folders on your own; the installation program will do that automatically.

Try to get rid of everything: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Uninstall Afterwards, re-boot the computer.

And, to be on the safe side, I actually recommend you make space on C: and re-install your stuff there. Again, do not make any program folders on your own - let the installer do that work.

Hello,

I have already reinstalled everything to C:. The game still has the same problem. I really don't know what's going on. The game worked fine back when Ambitions and Late Night were out. I just recently came back to the game with hopes of playing around with the new updates Sad

Hello,

Be sure to notice that before changing the installation path of The Sims 3 base game + expansions, the folder where you wanted to install them in must be a blank folder.After installing The Sims 3 base game, make sure the other expansions' folders are shown in this way. That way you won't mess up with any files:

Have you deleted the registry entries before reinstalling? If not, please follow carefully this: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Uninstall
