Hi,

Since installing TS3 WA my game crashes everytime i try to switch active household when a change of circumstance to the family has happened while i haven't been playing on them.

I have been playing on Family A and whilst doing so, another family in the neighbourhood, Family B, have moved house 'by themselves'. Another family i have played on in the past, Family C, have also in this time added Agnes Crumblebottom to their household (they didn't even know her before!) whilst i have been playing on Family A. Now everytime i select either of these families to be the new active household, my game crashes.

Series of events: i load the game up, go in to the Family A i was originally playing, go to edit town & switch active household. Then, when i pick either Family B or Family C and click to proceed to go into their lot, the screen doesn't change from the neighbourhood view, but the control panel disappears. I then have to go back to Windows Desktop and get the task manager up to exit the program and by this time it's Not Responding. I have switched active households with other families whose situation is the same (ie they havent done anything drastic while i've been playing on Family A) and i can do that fine without any crashes.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I don't have any custom content or 3rd party downloads, i am running version 2.2 of the game after installing WA.

Apologies if i have overlooked this topic in another thread, but any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

I've decided to make a basement with several rooms.. one for all the egyptian stuff, another for chinese etc etc

Just went into my sim's inventory and i couldnt select anything. Went onto his wife's inventory and that was fine, then went back to his inventory and all of his items have disappeared... what the hell?!

i had SO many treasures in there.. anyone got any idea of what happened? ='[

EDIT: Just got my sim to clear a pile of rubble, and he used Pangu's Axe which he had in his inventory even though it isnt showing up.

So I was in China, and I didnt know about the billboard at the hotel, but the very last day my sim was there, she got a quest, to find some treasure of a sort.

Somehow I managed to find the crypt, and use the key, and just as I had put the key in the lock, I got a message that my sims vacation was over and she got ported home.. *Very annoying*

Ok, so now im back in China and wanna find that crypt again, but ive been looking everywhere and I cant find it.
It really frustrates me that the questlog dosnt say anything about a location, and I dont remember how I found it last time.

I have to find an old hidden treasure for Abi Yat Sen in China..
