Ok I finally have updating my game successfully.  I'm now going to try the awesome mod, and pray that it works.

EDIT: IT WORKS! Thank you so much Motoki! I owe you one biggg time. I was seriously considering to quit playing Sims 3 if it hadn't have worked.  Oh my goodness, thank you, I really appreciate it.

Ok  I compared the properties for my Sims 3 to the picture of what it should be, and apparently it looks like my patches didn't download right.  My computer won't let me download the patches from the Download Manager so I have to always find the manual links to download it so I guess it apparently didn't patch it correctly.  

My verison says it's version 0.0.0.11195 which severely needs to be updated.  Does anyone have a link to the patches that will actually download correctly?

EDIT: I have also already reinstalled the game, and still doesn't work :/

Also I have gotten the patch links from MTS and it still won't update my game...what do I do now?

I've already done that, too :/ My game works fine with all my cc, and without it, but when I download the awesome mod (with or without cc) my game no longer works.

Nope, the base game works absolutely perfectlyy.

I knew about the scripterror, but I heard it occasionally solved an issue, so I thought by trying it no harm done.

I am using a PC and I have already tried taking out all custom content (which is only hair) and the Resource.cfg

It won't even let me create a new neighborhood without closing down.

Most people who had this issue, that I saw did NOT have the patch, but I do...so that's why I posted. 
Sorry for the annoyance. I really didn't mean to just take up space.  Again, the ones I saw didn't have the same things that applied to me.

Hey everyone, I've been searching foreverrr for a solution to this, but I can't find one that 100% applies to me and solves my problem.  Well, my game crashes to the desktop every time I get to the main menu and choose my neighborhood. It won't even try to load the neighborhood, it automatically closes.  It's not random or anything it does it every single time and I've restarted the game about 50 times at least, and it always finishes loading at the first screen.  I have the 1.3 patch and I play from the CD.  My game is not a crack.  I have tried installing enablescripterror and it didn't fix anything either, so I deleted it and still no good. I've deleted the caches about a billion times and still nothing. It's absolutely driving me insane! I have been everywhere and nothing has been a help.
 Thank you so much

Ahhh, ok that makes sense why I don't have the Worldcaches since I don't have Riverview. Hmm, I guess I'll just have to keep on searching for some sort of solution. Thanks everyone though.

Do you think it would be safe for me to start a topic on the forum about my issue? Or should I just keep it on this one?

I ONLY start the game from the CD already.  So I wouldn't be doing anything different...

Oh ok, thanks for making it so much more clear.  I've heard that it was pointless, but it's like the first thing people tell you to do when you have an issue...so I just tried it for giggles, and yeah, it didn't do anything.

Hmm, I guess it's not there for some reason. My caches for some reason don't appear in a folder. They are just in plain sight when I go to my Sims folder. Weird.

Haha but thanks for trying! I really appreciate it

Worldcache? I don't have any folder labeled that... where is that?

Just to make it a little more clearer ---> the game crashes right as I click the play button on the main menu after choosing my neighborhood.
Also I have tried at least 50 times to try to play a saved game AND a new game... still the same issue :/

The thing is that it crashes when I try to create a new neighborhood, too.

And I have also deleted the enablescripterror already.
