Error 12, the bane of my existence. This mod is a very clever idea! Hopefully it'll help a little.

This is a great idea to try, the code 12 error still haunts this game. I hope that one day someone can overcome this error once and for all, making the game 64-bit or something like that, who knows one day it will be possible.

Just a side note - for anyone who wants to drastically reduce RAM usage - use DXVK and set it up as shown in this guide (https://nornities.tumblr.com/post/7...with-the-sims-3 ) I have 40 weeks old save and after 1 hour of gameplay and 2 saves (I save every 30 minutes) the RAM usage is only 1.5 GB (it used to be 2.2+ GB with the default DX9).
This mod is great addition to reduce RAM usage even further.

I didn't know about this tutorial. I'm going to test it to see if it works for me. It's always good to have new ways to avoid this damn error.

PS: The only thing that's a little different for me is that the file "TS3W.dxvk-cache" is appearing in the folder before the "bin" folder. My video settings were reset, so much so that I thought it hadn't worked, because the tutorial says that the file appears in the "bin" folder. In my case, it appears in the folder in the first game installation folder. I don't know if it really changes anything.

I can't wait to try this on my long gaming sessions!
I just noticed that you forgot the pictures of 2 ITF lessons, the descendants, and the memorial statues. I thought it might be useful to point this out to you!
