Infinite Loading Screen issue

Hello!

I've just downloaded the Sims 3, as well as all the EPs and stuff packs available. Unfortunately, after I select a city and the loading screen pops up, the green bar is stuck at like 99 %. I've heard that outdated / broken mods are the problem but I don't have any installed. . This is my first time installing the Sims 3 so I don't know anything about these..

As I'm doing a lot of install and uninstall on Sims-games, trying to solve problems posted on this forum, I noticed that in the G4TW downloads sometimes other neighbourhoods are not even visable in the list where you can choose a neighborhood.
I've no clue what caused it.
Re-installing Into The Future + the crack sometimes fixes this.

I admit that the G4TW download is very complicated because you have to install all separate expansions individually.
My suggestion is to use THIS DOWNLOAD which is much smaller in size and installs all 21 EP/SP's incl. patches, updates, no installationcodes, just mount in Poweriso or Daemon and click on Setup.
