Line 1: {{For\|information about Crashes to desktops\|Crash Toto ~~Desktop~~desktop}} A ~~Game~~'''game ~~Crash~~crash''' can occur when something goes wrong toin the game. In this process, the player will return to Windows ~~and~~or Mac OS 9/X. ==Cause of Crashes== There are many possible ways that the game can crash. Some glitches can cause the game to crash or freeze. Custom content that is not from EA (IE, ModTheSims, Simmergirl, etc.) can cause issues if they are incompatible, even Maxis{{Vgversion\|TS}}{{Vgversion\|TS2}}/EA{{Vgversion\|TS3}} content can have issues. As of ''[[The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff]]'', players are advised to disable custom content when they install an update or a new version of ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Loading content saved in a later version may cause an older game to crash. For example, content made in a ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' game can crash a ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' game. Likewise, lots made in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' can crash ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' when placed. ==The Sims== The game can crash and if it does, it will usually display the program error message such as "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" (Windows 95/98) or "Sims has stopped working" (Windows Vista/7)▼ ==The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories==▼ When The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories crashes, the message "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate." will be displayed, clicking OK will usually close The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories.▼ ▲The game can crash and if it does, it will usually display the program error message such as "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" (Windows 95/98), "Sims has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" (Windows 2000/XP) or "Sims has stopped working" (Windows Vista/7/8) ==The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval==▼ No message is displayed when The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval has crashed. The file "xcpt computer_name yy-mm-d hh-mm-ss.txt" will be created.▼ ▲==The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories== In The Sims 3 Late Night (6.0), the game would crash if the player places a new lot in Bridgeport,medits it and does back to edit town. This was fixed in 6.1 and Outdoor Living.▼ ▲When ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and The Sims Stories crashes, the message "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate." will be displayed, clicking OK will usually close ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories''. A log named "Sims2Exception yyyy.mm.dd hh.mm.ss" will be created as well after the crash. <gallery widths="202" captionalign="left"> TS2 Crash.png\|Crash dialog in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' </gallery> ▲==The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval== ==Game Freeze==▼ On the console versions, the game will freeze. When It freezes, it will usually stop working and repeat the same sound. For example, in The Urbz: Sims in the City, the game will repeat a sound when it freezes. The game may freeze is the disc is removed in PS2 games. In the case of GBA/DS/3DS games, removed from the slot.▼ ▲No message is displayed when ''The Sims 3'' and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' ~~has crashed~~crashes. The file "xcpt computer_name yy-mm-d hh-mm-ss.txt" will be created, although a program error message may show up in some cases, such as when a pre-made Sim in the Create-a-Sim menu depends on custom content that isn't present in the game. ~~On DS games such as The Sims 2, removing the card will produce the message "The DS Card has been removed." but some games such as The Urbz: Sims in the City will just freeze with a repeating sound.~~ ▲In ''The Sims 3: Late Night'' (6.0), the game would crash if the player places a new lot in Bridgeport,~~medits~~ edits it and ~~does~~goes back to ~~edit~~Edit ~~town~~Town. This was fixed in 6.1 and in ''[[The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff]]''. Placing a lot made in a later version or newer game can cause an older version of ''The Sims 3'' to crash. For example, placing a lot made in ''Generations'' will crash ''Late Night'' if it does not have the Generations update. When the ''Generations'' update was released, a user could encounter a random crash with a popup of some numbers and an option to debug it with the game transferring to a window, even if the user did not run in Windowed Mode. Clicking either option caused the game to crash and the user would go back to the desktop. This was fixed in the Town Life Stuff patch. ▲==Game Freeze== ▲On the console versions, the game will freeze. When Itit freezes, it will usually stop working and repeat the same sound. For example, in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', the game will repeat a sound when it freezes. In some games, a sound may not be played even if sound was playing before the freeze. The game may freeze isif the disc is removed in PS2 games. In the case of GBA/DS/3DS games, if the Card/Game Pak removed from the slot. The game may also freeze if the disc is dirty or scratched and unreadable. {\|class="wikitable heading-blue" ! DS Game !!
