Seeing this is a sims blog, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my problem?
So here's what happens: I load up the main menu, click on my family, and wait for that to load. Once I'm in my family, I click play. The game runs for about 5 seconds, then freezes. Only, it's not really frozen, because I can still move my mouse around the screen. Just the rest of my screen, or everything but the mouse, becomes unresponsive.
I was wondering if anyone knows what is causing this problem, and how I can fix it? It has been happening for a couple weeks now, and google has not been of much help. Thanks ♥

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling?
"Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling?"
That's a bit drastic and always seems like the go-to answer on the official forums. Lots of problems can be fixed without having to reinstall.
Do you have any outdated mods? Have you tried removing all custom content and mods and then loading the game up to see if you still have the same freezing? What are your computer specs? What patch level are you? What expansions, if any, or stuff packs do you have?
@Anon with problematic game: I've got it too after updating for the last patch, since my game was vanilla at that ocassion, except for awesomemod, I thought it was the problem. But even after deleting AM I still got that problem so, I made a backup of my saved games and deleted the whole Eletronic Arts folder (from My Documents) and let the game generate a new one. It worked after that, even with all my previous (but updated) mods. You may want to try that and see if it works? But don't forget to make a backup copy of your games and move downloads and screenshots you want to save, of course :)
On the actual entry, I like it a lot, specially that we can change the colors of the freckles too and and just give the sim a pinkish nose.
:D So much awesome in one sim. Her nose looks like it has a pimple on it, an angry inflamed pimple at that. Not as bad with the sliders not set to full-on Rudolph. It's no wonder she's got a pimple, look how greasy her nose is to start. Together with the slapped cheeks and herpes lips, this chick is one fine package, dontcha think?
I think this would actually look quite nice in more neutral colors. A little bit of detail is nice...but sunburns are a little too harsh to be versatile on most sims.
Hahahahahaha!! Baby face? More like burnt face.
ReplyDeleteNo but in all seriousness I actually like this.
Somebody's got a cold.
ReplyDeleteSomebody's got a cold.
ReplyDelete^ similar to my reaction, although I was thinking she looks like she's been standing outside in the freezing cold for too long poor thing.
ReplyDeleteLOL this must be a crocked baby then ;-) the name is a bit fail but otherwise it´s ok.
ReplyDeleteShe's.... sort of done this twice. With minimal differences in-between.

^ Your game is corrupt if you've exhausted all "Google" could offer.

a nose in need deserves puffs indeed
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help :)
ReplyDeleteMy game is updated, so I'll go take another look at my cc folder, and see if there is anything I missed updating and whatnot.
I think it's cute. Reminds me of winter XD
ReplyDeleteI think its cute too.
ReplyDeletePigg ugly imo (in my opinion).
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking baby or burnt face... I was thinking DRUNK face, lol... Sorreh.
ReplyDeleteThis could be cute if that pink was toned down much. :)
lol that nose coloring makes me want to ask for a nip of whatever is in her flask
ReplyDelete"This could be cute if that pink was toned down much. :)"
ReplyDeletethat's why the color is adjustable

ReplyDeleteI like it :D
ReplyDeleteNasty! The previous posters are correct, she looks like she has a bad cold or the flu.
ReplyDeleteY'all won't be laughing when Santa asks her to lead her sleigh...
ReplyDelete^ LOL XD
ReplyDeleteGin blossoms! Looks like someone had too much to drink for the last 10 years!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously,this is cool.
Looks like my aunt when she got drunk and sunburned at the beach in PR o.O;
ReplyDeletewtf
ReplyDeleteshe drink too much ;D
