Game doesn't load!

[Rawra]

I bought the game yesterday and it. Doesn't. Friggin'. Load! I press play, intro plays fine, but it doesn't load at ALL in the loading screen. It's driving me nuts! Thanks in advance to whoever helps me. :faceslap:

Is this a brand spankin' new fresh install of everything (i.e. new user files as well) or just a new install of Generations over an existing set of user files and installed game?

Sims 3 - Incompatible CC
Every time you patch or install a new EP, most of your hacks will need to be updated or removed. If you are having any kind of problem and you've just patched or installed a new EP, remove all your custom content and delete your cache files (http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Sims_3_Delete_Cache_Files). Then, unless the problem is specific to one sim or lot, make a new town and see if the issue occurs there too.

If, having done so, the issue is fixed, then you have some incompatible CC. Any hacks - things which change the game's behaviour - are likely suspects and should be updated or removed; things like objects, clothes, hairs etc are generally safe.


What have you done to troubleshoot?
Telling us the issue with no context like what games you have, and at what versions, or what happens when you try A, B and C...is like entering a restaurant and asking them if they sell food. Just sayin'...

You load via Launcher or the new TS3W.exe ?

Lol :faceslap: .. I was really excited to play and forgot about the mods which weren't updated to Generations. I had to remove the sliders, Master Controller and some other minor hacks to make it work. Damn me :|

Thanks anyway. :D
