Processing? Need help with 2 problems.[SOLVED]

PROBLEM 1
I can't move a family into a home. I've removed all my core mods and hacks but left the CC such as clothes, hair, accessories because, one, there's not much of it and, two, it wasn't a problem before I installed Showtime.

That said when I try to move a family into a home (any family, any home) in a new city it just says "Processing... Processing..." At one point I walked away for an hour and came back and it was still doing this. Help!


PROBLEM 2
I
was getting the "it looks like you have an unofficial..." error after installing Showtime (downloaded). I applied
the recent (post 1.33) ultimate fix to my downloaded CCs (which were
only Showtime and Generations). It didn't help. So I removed the entire
Sims 3 documents folder therefore removing all CC and downloaded
content. Didn't help. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled base
game, WA, LN, Gen, and Pets. I haven't even gotten to Showtime yet but
it's already giving me the error. I applied the ultimate fix for
Generations and get the same error.

When I get the game going it
tells me there's a network error and update the game. So I open the
launcher, which tells me there is a new patch for your Sims 3 Store
content. Would you like to download the latest patch? I click Yes. It
tells me it's patched, but does nothing. In other words when I refresh I
get the same prompt to DL a patch.

Help!

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply.
Please download and (re-)apply this manual patch: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1870-can-t-update-the-sims-3-to-v133-fix-manual-patch-updated

After it finished patching, re-download and re-apply the Ultimate Fix: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-ultimate-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems

Let us know the result. Good luck!

Which parts of the Ultimate Fix do I need to apply? Just the games I've DL'd, or the purchased games too?

Mmmk. Did all that you advised. I removed all CC but then of course had to at least "install" the NoCD package. When I put THAT in the packages folder if gave me the unofficial content error again. I also still had to start the game via EXE file in the Bin folder.

I managed to get the game running and a family in a home. But about 60 seconds into playing it froze up and gave me this error:

When using the fix properly, you shouldn't have any reason to use a nocd mod, because the fix has a crack for the game already. So I'd recommend trying playing without that mod also, and see if that helps with any of the errors you're getting tossed at you.

Hello,

Indeed, you must remove the "NoCD" mod in order for the Fix to work.

Wow, that did seem to fix it! No problems so far! Thanks so much for the help!
