In short, my problem is that CAS freezes, starting after installing new CC, but continuing to do so even when it's been removed. :help:
Details:
So, yesterday I went on a bit of a CC binge and downloaded a LOT of stuff.
Later, when I loaded the game and went into CAS, it froze when going from 1 (name/gender/age/skin) to 3 (face/eyes/hair). Obviously, related to a DL causing issues, right?
So I remove EVERYTHING, and start adding it back in, bit by bit, with the least likely things first and the newest stuff last. Each time, I am able to move from 1 to 3 without freezing. In the end, I'm left with 3 things, 2 default clothing replacements and 1 thing that recolours all the roof edges and undersides to white.
I try two of them together, it freezes again. I can't be bothered to figure out which it was, and I don't really need any of them, so I toss all three and go back to playing the game.
CAS freezes.
So, I figure it's just too much new stuff for the game to load at once. I pull out CC based on category, and stick them back in folder at a time, with the worst offenders for size save until the end. Each time, it starts freezing again near the end of the pile.
--- interesting note, when it was borderline, I could get from 1-3 in a male, but not if I was making a female.
So, I start culling by size. Dump all but 3 hairstyles, SERIOUSLY reduce clothing, etc.
Nothing seems to help.
Eventually I create a file with only my Top Priority CC - eyes & default eye replacements, face replacements (hate the maxis faces), skins, and a couple other things, including hacks, and try to play with just those. Left out my replacement pollination techs & plantsim dads, altheticwear, etc. (It usually froze when I put my full Default replacements folder in.)
Freezing. :faceslap:
So, now it's only the ABSOLUTE minimum for me to want to play this game. 2 folders: Yumedust eyes (not even the default replacements, just the eyes, which have been in my game forever) and default face replacements.
I go in, and it's working! Hurray! I'll play around for a bit and figure out later what I can add back. :gjob:
I successfully create a sim. About to save & return to the neighbourhood, decide to change her mouth. GO back it. Change from 1-3 okay. click on mouth.
FREEZE.
:cry: :cry: :cry: I just can't do this anymore. I need help. I just want to play my game again.
