I was not able to meet my CAW deadline. I got caught up with trying to fix my game, because I have not been able to solve the problem of my constant game crashes since Pets came out. TS3 Crash Log Analyzer diagnosed it as a problem of corrupt save game, however, it occurs continually no matter how many new games I start. I've become very discouraged about simming in general. Yesterday I removed all CC save for store items (simpacks), hacks, and default replacement skin and eyes. I played for a few hours last night without getting another save game crash. If this continues then I can only conclude that some corrupt CC is causing my crashes. I don't know how I will figure out which item is the culprit. It seems that many people have encountered this problem since Pets and yet I haven't found one solution that works.
Also, I've decided to rethink the lot sizes/house types for my new world. I had originally intended for the homes in the city center and historic district to be narrow multi-story town houses or apartments. However, while attempting to play my legacy family I've discovered a lot of routing issues that I usually shrugged away, most particularly pertaining to toddlers, play toys, and stairs. Essentially, it's a pain to have toddlers in multi-story homes when the nursery is on the upper floor unless there is a lot of unobstructed space. This likely explains why EA-made houses are all ridiculously large. I, however, like more realistic, compact rooms. It leaves me a lot to think about.
More than anything, I want to fix my game crashes. I hope I can. I did promise screenshots of the house I built three weeks ago. I intend to get around to those later.
