If you have problems
- Remove ALL your mods temporarily. Delete your cache files again. Try loading the game mod-free. If that works...
- Put back in only "safe" mods - that is, texture replacers like skintones, eyes, no sleep Zzs, etc., and try loading the game again. If that works...
- Put back in more "custom" files such as patterns, new tee shirt designs, default replacement meshes, etc... If that works...
- Put back in everything else.
That should at least help you narrow down at what point your game starts crashing, to figure out what the problem might be.
Please note that just because your game crashes on a particular file does not mean that file is corrupted or incompatible with the patch. Try putting in just that one file, deleting your cache files again, and running the game again.
If you still have problems
- If you have deleted all your cache files, removed all your mods, and your game still won't work with the patch, try renaming your My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ folder to something else - like "The Sims 3 Backup" - remember, that's the folder in MY DOCUMENTS, not in Program Files.
- After renaming it, try to run the game. If it works, it means the problem is somewhere in your user files.
