How to figure out which of my CC is corrupted?

[STABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTAB]

My game tends to crash about 50-100 minutes into a session. I have TS3 Crash Log Analyzer installed and it says the likely cause for the crashes is custom content. I can't tell which of my CC is corrupted though. I'd really like any advice on this, thanks.

Edit: I used the TS3 Dashboard Tool by Tashiketh on Modthesims and found some conflicting packages and removed them. I'll see if the game still crashes.

Edit2: Still crashes. I'll try uninstalling some sims3packs now

Remove them one at a time?

I don't use CC, but when I am having jerky play, or crashes, I can usually clear things up by clearing (deleting) 5 different cache files:

CASPartCache.package
compositorCache.package
scriptCache.package
SimCompositorCache.package
socialcache.package

This is safe to do for only these files. The game will create new ones when you play it again.

The location of the Sims 3 files in Windows 10 is:

Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3

i also make sure not to have any one Sim carry more than about 50 of any one item. For some reason, this causes a lot of lag.

And if those don't work, I go to earlier saves until I find one that is not corrupted. I do sequentially-numbered saves only. You can recycle 10-20 different save names, and that should be enough for you to catch problems in time. (e.g. SunsetValley Altos 1, SunsetValley Altos 2, etc.)

Here are some Steam guides for Sims 3 that might also help.

I'm already cleaning cache with every startup using the script in this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1853224297. I'm aware of the directories too. Removing my CC one at a time was the method I'm avoiding since it'll be incredibly inconvenient, considering how much CC I have. Thank you for the reply though!

Oh, sorry. Yes, if you have a lot of CC, then looking at each one separately would be a huge chore. I'm sorry I don't have anything else to offer. Here's hoping someone else does.

Oh, I forgot that you can also log into the EA site and check the discussions on there to see if anyone has a solution.

First, are you using NRaas Overwatch? The game tends to crash about that time without it for many people.

Next, the usual way to find bad CC if you have a ton is to divide it in half. Play with half, if there is no crash, that half is OK, and the crash is somewhere in the other half. Then play with half of that half and see if you crash or if the crash is in the other half, and so on, and so on.

Of course, this works better if the CC is causing the game to fail to start than if you have some random crasah 55-100 minutes in.
