I've tried all the suggestions under the link to "Loading Crash".

I've deleted all the cache files before loading, I've tried to find a mods folder to delete things from but I don't have one in my program files, and I've tried renaming it as a backup file, but it still crashed. I removed everything I'd had in my download files to see if that helped, the only "custom content" I had was things purchased from the sims 3 store, and I don't have the expansion.

My game was running fine and loading fine before I downloaded the 1.7.9 patch.

Nothing I've tried has worked and I don't know what to do next, help would be greatly appreciated.
