Hello, This is my first post, and I have a big problem with the game "The Sims 3." I installed the "World Adventures" expansion pack, but it didn't work, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I also had the "Ambitions" expansion pack, so I installed it on top of that, and now I’m playing with Ambitions along with the objects and options provided by "World Adventures." I had been playing for a few days, and now every time I click to create a door or place a statue or other things (I haven't tested everything), my game crashes, and I have to start all over again... So please help me, I hope I didn't buy the games for them not to work :/
Thank you in advance :)

a copy-paste of how to keep your Sims 3 backups:
"I imagine it's too late to respond, but I'm replying anyway for anyone who comes to this site with the same question: yes, it is possible to 'manually' back up our Sims saves, I am the proof! In fact, before formatting my PC, I saved the entirety of the Sims folder, that is to say (for the 'standard' backup) I originally took the folder called Electronic Arts (in which there were all my saves and object downloads), then I formatted my computer, reinstalled my Sims, and replaced the new Electronic Arts folder with the old one that I had backed up on a USB stick! There you go! I hope I was clear enough :) Happy gaming everyone.
PS: For all those who think they're clever by criticizing others' mistakes, to err is human, thank you =)"

Hello,
I would like to address my problem following the one mentioned:
Just like the title: "My game closes by itself" (without any error message), and on top of that, I don't have time to play. The closure happens after the launch video.
I also noticed that my installed (legal) content is no longer there, and it is impossible to reinstall it.
However, I changed the locations of my games, and it seems that only The Sims 3 is having an issue.
As a result, I uninstalled, redownloaded, and reinstalled; the error is still present. Reinstalling, and reinstalling again... This problem just won’t leave me alone é_è.
I am looking to find out if there is a way to resolve this problem without having to delete everything and redownload all my addons, which would take me a monstrous amount of time with my splendid connection.. ><!!
Thank you in advance! (:

Hello,
I didn't understand everything, but I think it's due to the mix of the 2 add-ons.
I have 'Destination Adventure', 'Ambition', 'Generation', 'VIP Access', 'Pets & Co' and 'Showtime'.
I know it's strange, but 'Destination Adventure' is the last one I bought, and since then I've felt like I've had more bugs...
I think it comes from the fact that you are playing with Ambition and using D-A with it. And unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about that...
It does about the same thing with Pets & Co. They are not very compatible. But as you keep buying more and more add-ons with updates, the bugs get reduced.
I advise you not to use EA updates too much because when I download one, the game doesn't launch at all anymore.
I hope this helps you!
