I'll check for you if it works on a Mac. (through Mono, of course)

Nah, it doesn't work. Just spews some code at me and then does nothing. D:
Too bad, this is a cool program.

I don't really have a problem with my game crashing, but when it does it annoys me that I don't know why, so this is great ! Thanks

What directory are the crash logs in (assuming it generates them)? Are they .txt and .mdmp files?

I have had several unknown crashes and thought I'd copy and paste the results to help make this program even better in the future. As far as my crashes, they are definitely random. I can recall what may have triggered the latest crash (8/21/2010). I selected a painting that is from Desdren's Breuer Livingroom set. After I changed the color of the frame, the game started to freeze and then I was sent back to my desktop and the game had crashed. I am only operating the base game. I hope any of this helps. Here are the results:

thank you so much for this. i'm going to try it out.

Thank you for this tool. Unfortunately 7 out of my 8 crashes are unidentified*, but one was found to be a LAA problem, so I downloaded your LAA-tool to see if it helps.

*) They look similar to wescole07's crashes, so I'm not going to attach them here. Additionally they're older and I don't know the exact cause and situation when they happened, so I guess adding them would not be helpful.

THANK YOU so much for all your help and your hard work :lovestruc


N.B. I remember what I was doing as the game crashed:

1) 26/07/2010 Was decorating a house.Was trying to recolor the " Rose Bouquet" from "Wedded Bliss" created by Purplepaws.The flowers were on a table against a wall and as I wanted to click them with the design tool it was not responding well and....crash to desktop.

2) Since Ambitions its no more possible to enter the free camera in build mode.I have tried and tried...
05/08/2010 New try...After loading the game and the lot I was working on, pressed "F4" instead of "tab" ...And...the game began the process of opening the store. I didn't want that and immediatly tried to close it...CRASH to desktop.

The only things I can honestly remember is that during gameplay are the majority of crashes.. I don't ever go into town in fear of it crashing but now with the FAA thing Ill give it a shot and see how it does. Mainly what I do before I play is that I use Delphy's Sims 3 Dashboard and clear nearly all of the cache and fix any corrupted files (though I haven't had any for a while) and then go in the game a play. I don't really have any issues after I do all that but it might hiccup on me a few times. So yes I do have CC loll.
Merci!

-Does it crash while loading?

none of those crashes were from loading.

-Does it crash randomly?

the last, most recent crash happened while i was in map view, about to follow my sims to the park. i don't remember if it crashed IN map view, or while i was zooming in,

-Do you have custom content installed?

yes, including custom sims.

-Have you changed anything between crashing and not crashing?

from the most recent crash, i've deleted a package that was a mod which took of the fade on sims while zooming in. i haven't had problems since then, but i don't think that was what did it.

as for the earlier crashes, they happened in create a sim.
i don't have any 'custom skins' installed, but those sims were ones that used those skintones. i'm pretty sure 2 of the crashes were because of that. and the problem was fixed when i deleted the sims with that 'black' skintone.

there was one crash that happened around the time i was trying a challenge (it was the bachelor/bachelorette challenge) and while i was creating the fourth sim or so, it randomly crashed. that cause has been unknown.

i haven't had create a sim problems after those incidents, though.

-What version of The Sims 3 and Expansions do you have installed?

i have the sims 3 base, world adventures, high end loft, and ambitions. it's all patched to 4.2.

That might be a DEP crash. <unknown module> is often indicitative of a DEP crash. I don't know why it didn't flag that.

Those three are practically identical. Were those three the Create-A-Sim crashes you described?


As for all the rest, I noted them in an archive.

Whoa, just noticed it crashed twice on the same files... hmm

EDIT: I don't remember anything about the crashes, but the game doesn't crash too often and I only have Base Game with plenty of CC and some store

Thank you so much for your quick reply.Well,a DEP crash...I thought that it would no more happen, since I have followed all advices to prevent it.Maybe have missed something.

Here is a pic (sorry,its in French) of my DEP panel:



Should I add all EPS and Sps?
Thanks for your precious help.

When you launch The Sims 3, it always starts the executable with the highest version number:

4 Ambitions
3 High-End Loft Stuff
2 World Adventures
1 The Sims 3

If the highest you have is Ambitions, you'd want to do add Ambitions (TS3EP02.exe) to the exception list. If the highest you have is World Adventures, you'd want to add World Adventures. You shouldn't need to add any that are below it because they aren't ran.

I have two unknowns, which crashed randomly during gameplay. I remember a glorious day when my game didn't CTD, but that was months ago, and I believe it was before I got Ambitions.

Those are both very interesting. MSCTF has to do with a Microsoft Text Service and d3d9 obviously is the Direct3D 9 core. You might try updating you graphics driver and running a stability test on it like FurMark (which would also tell you the temp of the card).


I'm thinking about adding code to make CLA automatically detect Custom Content, report version numbers, and report which games are installed because even if the launcher says you are fully patched, you might not be. It is difficult to know how many crashes are due to version conflicts between expansions/stuff packs.

I love this tool thank you!! I have 2 unknowns so I thought I would post here.

-Does it crash while loading?
No
-Does it crash randomly?
Yes, most often when switching to map view or clicking on sim to follow them in town
-Do you have custom content installed?
yes, just mostly clothing though, no hairs or Sims
-Have you changed anything between crashing and not crashing?
Not that I know of!
-What version of The Sims 3 and Expansions do you have installed?
I have The Sims 3, WA, HELS and AMB all patched to latest (4.2something)

I'm so thankful for this tool--I don't understand these things at all, and have never posted them before because I'm too embarrassed, lol.
These are my "unknowns"
My game doesn't crash while loading, but does crash randomly.
I have Base, WA, HELS and Ambitions
I have CC (a selection of various things) & my game is patched to 1.14/2.9/3.5/4.2
