The trouble I had with The Sims 3 Late Night

School and the Sims

Hello peeps, in the last blog I wrote, I was debating on buying the Sims 3 and finishing a paper. Well I finished that paper and have sinced graduated from college with my bachelor's degree. Yeah for me! Anyways, I also bought the Sims 3 and all the expansion packs. Now her is the trouble that I experienced with the sims Late Night and I hope that this helps someone or maybe it won't.

So I bought The Sims 3 Late Night and loaded it onto my computer! That's when the trouble started. It seems that the new update for the game has done something to the sims 3 game launcher. Everytime I click out of it or click to play the game I get an error message that the launcher is not responding. So that was my first problem. Once I finally started to play the game it would crash after a minute. By this time I am frustrated and angry that I bought a game that I couldn't play. I decided to unistall all of my sims 3 games and the original sims 3 to see if that would fix it. It didn't and I can't even count on my fingers how many times I unistalled all my games and reistalled them again. By this point I am hoping mad so I go online and research and fin out that there are many people that are having the same problems with the game that I am having. I look up ways to fix the problem through recommendations that other people used to fix their game and still nothing works. I finally try one more fix, which was updating my graphics driver but it was still having problems. At this point I have given up. I turned off my computer and didn't turn it on for a couple of day.

One the third day after I had purchased the sim 3 late nigh I decided that it was never going to work, so I was going to unistall everything, however, I decided that I would try to play my game one more time and guess what.... It worked! As soon as I went in to play some random family I saved imideately, exited out, restarted the whole thing then went back in to play that family and I no longer had anymore problems playing the game. I still get the error about the sims 3 launcher but I just click out of the error message and play my game.

After going through all that I went through, I figure one of those things I used to fix it worked ( though I'm leanging more towards the updating of my driver) so now I love the new expansion pack and have been playing it nonstop since it stoped crashing. So like I said in the beginning I hope this helps anyone who may have had trouble with the new expansion like I did, if nothing else know that you were not alone. :)

Happy Simming Everyone,

Hi! There is much to find about possible crash causes on the forum. Have you tried setting DEP and CFF explorer allowing over 2GB memory use? Also just close the error message the launcher gives you, the game should start anyway. (meed to download the newest DL manager from EA though) Good luck and try browsing the forum for good examples of how to do the DEP settings for instance....
