Game Freezing time

[vanityme]

Hello, I'm encountering an issue and would like to report it. I want to mention that I’ve tried several solutions, but none have worked so far. Here’s what’s happening: when I go to the Realm of Magic, (wizard school)  after a while, my game freezes. I can see the Sims standing still, the sounds are still audible, but nothing else works.
 

I played with mods disabled, and I didn’t experience this issue, so I started isolating certain mods (including WickedWhims), and with those mods removed, the bug seems disappeared.

I tried using an older version of WickedWhims, and while the freezing stopped, the game began to show lot off errors. If I started a sex animation, the character would become immobile, and I couldn’t interact with anything anymore.

The bug also occurred randomly on other lots.
 

I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this problem, but I want to point out that I was using the most recent version of WickedWhims.

I’d like to know how I can "switch to an older version" without constantly encountering bugs and errors? I don’t understand how the game recognizes that I’m using an outdated version. Why does the game sometimes run fine for a while even with an outdated version, but in this case, when I switched from the newest to the older version, it completely broke?
 

Thank you for your help.

So I'm no computer expert, but I've been playing The Sims since TS1 and it's my understanding that, especially for big mods like WW, the problem is that the game updates periodically. The updates to the game itself change the game's code, so the code for the mod has to be made compatible. Older versions of the mod were not made for the current version of the game, but older versions with different code. The conflict between the codes is what causes errors. So, basically, if you have a fully updated game, you have to use a compatible version of WW, which is usually going to be the most recent version and maybe a few previous ones (for example, we're on 183a right now, and I'm not sure but some form of 182 might have a chance to work as it's fairly recent, but older ones would be unlikely to be compatible).

 

Anyway, I would guess the issue you're having is not actually related to WW (as others haven't reported such an error and I don't have it). Instead I would hazard a guess that you have some other mod that just isn't playing nice with the current version of WW for some reason, maybe some kind of conflict between that mod and some of the newer features of WW that older versions didn't have? It's hard to say for sure without knowing what mods you have installed. Are you getting any LEs, and if so, do you have any of those for us to look at?
