This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Into the Future
Default *not solved* game crashes when opening worlds
so i have a couple of NRaas mods and some default replacements and about 5 pieces of custom content. i have all expansions except showtime and island paradise and no stuffpacks and i also own riverview, midnight hollow and sunlit tides. when i load a world (it doesn't matter which one) it crashes every time. i'm not really technical but i know mods can cause some issues and so i moved the mods folder to my desktop. when i ran the game without the mods folder it didn't crash. i made sure the game recognized my graphics card so i don't think it has to do with the graphics so it's probably some of the mods or cc but i don't know how to find out what's causing it.

Is your Mods folder and the resource.cfg-file set up correctly?

Also, are all mods updated to match the version of your game?

It means you have more than 1 broken mod and just happened when you split 50/50, both sides have bad mods.

Take 1/2 and split it in half again.

the only time it doesn't crash is when my mods folder is empty so i don't know what to do..

Just to ask the question...all your mods are unzipped and are packages correct?

and you followed this?

Or maybe some some conflicting mods.

Dashboard is good, but does not catch everything. Still, use it. I also do. I will assume your game and EP's, and worlds are not from Capt. Jack Sparrow. Things from him can be hit or miss, as far as containing broken items, which may crash your game. You say that you only have 5 pieces of CC??? That certainly is far from the several hundred hairs only in mine, so should not be too difficult to track down. How many Nraas mods, and which? You ran with only no intro, and it worked, yes. Nraas mods generally do not have issues with each other, so try putting them in and run the game. If they work, add back the 5 CC, one at a time. If Nraas alone crashes you, first check that you have the most up to date versions. Then, add those back one at a time.

Make sure you do not have Master Controller Progression with Story Progression Base and Master Controller Base, or the Cupcake mod without the bakery items from the store as both those will crash your game.

Ok did you clear your caches after removing the mods? I think the best thing to do is rename your Sims 3 folder to Sims3old and let the game regenerate a new folder. Create a new mods folder in the new game folder. Run the game. Then after you have a new game up and running start slowly adding back the mods you know are working correctly.

about 55 default replacements, the nraas mods and about 7-9 pieces of non-default makeup.

Do you ave any default replacements for the same thing, like 2 skins or 2 eye DR's?

Take two screenshots and upload them here. One of your mods folder (do you have an override folder for your default replacements?) with all the mods you have. We might be able to figure out what mods you have that are causing the issue. When I mean slowly replace back your mods. This is the painful process. Put one mod in at a time and start your game up. Clearing caches every time you do this. It will determine which mod is causing the issue. I literally had a mod one that I would never think would conflict cause a ton of issues and I did this process long as it was till I found the offending mod.

Second, What worlds do you have installed? and have you downloaded anything from the Sims Exchange?

Oh and another thing are you using an eyelash replacement mod? I had some issues with the SCLUB eyelash mod.
