Game freezes during age transition.

[Syera]

I have two Sims, a set of twins, ready to age transition.  One of them will transition without a problem, but whenever I choose Grow Up for the other the game freezes.  I've tried re-starting and re-booting, but so far I'm still stuck.

I've removed my mods and enabled debug mode, but neither has helped.

Which EPs do you have? Namely, isn't it BV where you can start choosing which townies to age up along with your sim, and could this be in any way related? Also, have you been selecting "Grow Up" by clicking on the sim each time, or have you tried sending them to a cake and seeing if it'll work that way? Have you tried leaving them to their own devices and seeing if 6pm takes care of the issue itself? Is it the same twin each time who causes the problem, or is it whichever one is going second at the time?

Oh, does the 2nd grow-er-up-er have any items of custom skintone or hair that might be throwing an error when they try to switch to the next level's? When you tried growing up in debug mode, was there any error log generated therefrom?

(therefrom. a word? dunno. but I think I like it.)


Sorry, no real suggestions, just some random thoughts. The more info you can give us, the better.

I have all the expansion packs.

I haven't tried that yet, but I plan to when I get some time.

The problem is with the sim - after restoring the game I had her try to age transition first.

Both sims are aliens.

No, that started with FT.

I figured out what the problem was - it had something to do with the default replacement alien skin I was using.  I finally took that out of my game and she age-transitioned fine.

Edit: I fixed the skin, too.  It turned out that one of the files (the adult female muscular skin texture) in the skin replacement package was borked.  Fortunately, I still had the original texture files in my projects folder.
