=Crashing after installing Late Night=

== Issue ==

After installing The Sims 3 Late Night expansion pack, the game crash in CAS or during gameplay or just when moving in a family.

And none of the usual tricks like
* updating drivers
* doing the suggestions in [[Game Help:Sims 3 Game Problem]]
* doing the suggestions in [[Game Help:Crash workarounds]]
has helped.

== Cause ==

If you also have The Sims 3 Ambitions expansion pack, the most likely cause of the crashing is the haphazard placement of the new Professions and/or Community Lots introduced by this EP.

== Possible Solution ==

Before starting a new Late Night game, rename The Sims 3 folders or at least move the Library folder out of there.
If you rename, you don't need to remove any caches, if you move the Library folder, just [[Game Help:Sims 3 Delete Cache Files]], to be thorough.

And when you load Bridgeport, before you do anything, check the map view for gray Lots as per this thread in Discussion [http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=423396 Sims 3 Late Night Crash Fix].
If not exactly on that plot of land or address, look for any Lot that is occupied by any Ambitions RabbitHoles/Profession-related Lot. You need to bulldoze this Building and/or Lot and save the game.

Any new Bridgeport game can use this as a "default" so you don't need to redo these steps all over again.

===Still Not Working!===
