Game stops responding after installing Supernatual and using Ultimate Fix Empty Game stops responding after installing Supernatual and using Ultimate Fix

Post by Guest Tue 11 Sep 2012, 15:56

Hello!

I've been using the Ultimate Fix to update my game for about a year now, and I've never ran into any major problems that I couldn't find a solution for, until now. I used the Ultimate Fix to update my game to the newest patch via the manual patch and my game is fully updated. I installed Supernatural and then things got weird. I always start my game using TSW.exe and when I do, it gets to the Supernatural screen and then stops responding and I get a Windows pop up checking for the problem. I have two Nraas mods installed but even without them the game isn't working. I have followed the instructions for installing and still the game stops responding. Please help anyone!

Edit-may have fixed this, but still does anyone know what the problem may be/have been so I know for future reference?

Hello,

What if you back up and then completely remove this folder: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ ?

Do as he said, back up the folder.
REINSTALL.
Completely update the game (use the 1.38 updater in the supernatural download to save time. It's in /support/updates/)
Install all EP/SP.
Then, backup your ts3w.exe and tslhost.dll files from your /the sims 3/game/bin/ folder, and replace them with the ones in the #crack/ folder from the ultimate fix.
YOU ARE DONE!

When a new update comes out, replace the cracked exe and dll files with the originals, update it, and use the new crack that will be up. got it?
If you update with a crack installed, it WILL give you errors, and you wont be able to play until you run the update with the original, uncracked files in place.

I KNOW THIS WORKS! I had the same issue as you did SEVERAL TIMES. I found that the "cracks" for each EP and SP are unnecessary, and just waste time and cause update issues later down the line. The ONLY files you will ever need when you crack the Sims 3 are ts3w.exe and tslhost.dll. I hope this helps! Very Happy

NOTE: you CAN install any EP or SP with the game cracked. You do NOT, EVER, have to put anything into any of your EP or SP install folders. They will install just fine, whether your game is cracked or not. I have installed every single EP and almost all of the SPs, and I have yet to have an issue with them.

Okay so I did all that and it still crashes on the supernatural loading screen. Whenever I just delete the electronic arts folder and start up it loads fine but all my saved games and mods/custom content is gone. And I hate playing without them what should I do?
What do you think is the problem?

Hello,

Go into the backed up folder and put back the "Saves" folder to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves

Main reason to backup+move the mods from the EA folder is to check if they are causing the problem with the game, if you remove them and it works, slowly start adding stuff back in, until you find what the the problem mod is, then either check for a update on it, or leave it out.

Thanks guys. I found out it's most of my NRAAS mods were making the game crash. This sucks cause I basically can't survive without those mods. But your advice helped none the less! Thanks broskis.

Did you check for if your mods had a update for 1.38?

Not true, as long as you use the manual patch. The smaller patch will not even start to install with the crack in place.

They don't, since they're no crack but original files included in the fix to overwrite any cracks you may have used in the past, to prevent issues with updating through the launcher.

Hello,

Did you get them here? Do you have any other mods that could be conflicting with Nraas mods? I have a bunch of these myself that don't cause problems at all.

Hello Lady ElDi,

I didn't know that the stuff in the other folders were original files. The tutorials that I found the link to the Ultimate Fix in said they were files that you put into the expansion pack install folders, and that they were necessary for the crack to work. It seems they lied to me about the entire reason for them being included. Laughing

I did get it from there. I don't think you can get Twallan mods anywhere else... I do have other mods but they've never conflicted with NRAAS before. Plus I've tried starting the game and only having my NRAAS mods in the folder and that's when I realized it was making my game crash on the loading screen. The only NRAAS mod that works with my game right now is the decensor one.

Hello,

There are some questionable Chinese websites that also host Nraas mods Wink
I did hear that there were some problems with some of the mods that have been updated again since, so it may be worth checking their website again.
