Reminds me of some glitched custom content that would freeze the game even though you were in live mode. I remember having a piece of cc like this, which was a menu board I placed in the kitchen, and my game wouldn't move at all; not even time passed. I was very scared at first but after a google search I discovered it's caused by bad cc. I enabled testingcheats and it told me what the item that was messing with the game was, and after I deleted it, everything worked fine again!
Another time I downloaded a mod that caused my sims to reset every time the cursor hovered over a phone. I knew it was something in my downloads folder immediately, and after a lot of 50/50 I finally found it. However, after reading the comments of that mod, I didn't see anyone experiencing the same as me, so maybe it was the mod conflicting with something else and not so much the mod itself.
I still wonder if mods can conflict with custom content that doesn't technically change the game's mechanics? I know mods conflicting with other mods is common, but can they conflict with other pieces of cc? I remember when the story progression mod was coming out, I put it in my game and deleted all the conflicting mods that were known, but after loading the game, all my sims would spin uncontrollably because they kept reseting. I did 50/50 trying to find the mod conflict but I couldn't find it. Eventually I took out all my mods (I kept cc like clothes, hairs, make up, a few buy mode items) and the sims were still spinning! So the mod wasn't conflicting with any other mods, but maybe some cc? I took out all my cc and the sims wouldn't reset anymore.
I currently have the issue that my game pretty often crashes on community lots, but it's not the kind of crash where the pop-up "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate" comes up on the screen. My game just freezes (like when a sim gets a tan or when the seasons change) but it never un-freezes; it just stays like that and the game eventually closes, no message shown. I can get around this by pausing every few minutes and saving the game as much as I can, and also by passing the camera over the whole lot from the very beginning, before I start playing the community lot, and sometimes that helps the game not crash, sometimes it still does. I wonder if this is also a mod conflict, or if it's a graphics issue (I have all the fixes known to man), or if it's because I have many lots and sims in the hood, or because maybe probably possible perhaps I might've done a few little things to corrupt my hood a long time ago. ¿?¿?¿?
Ah... this game.
