Game Crashing While Loading Families
rwills:
Perplexing.
A few thoughts on possibly handling it.
First, have you installed all patches for all of your EPs and SPs?
If not, do so. They are important for proper functioning of the game.
Second, create a new, empty folder named Downloads (and spelled EXACTLY like that) on your desktop.
Move all the custom content into that folder.
Then sort the custom content by File Type. If you find any files other than .package files, either get rid of them or move them for storage elsewhere. They do not belong in Downloads.
Next, copy that Downloads folder and paste it into the My Documents--EA Games--The Sims 2 folder.
If you still have the problem, then the highest probability is that there is a problem file in Downloads (either a conflict or some content which is not compatible with the EPs and SPs you may have installed), and the only way to isolate it is the repetitious method of testing with only portions of content.
You won't lose any contet this way, as you are using a copy -- the original will always be itact.
As for using Body Shop, etc., that is unaffected by testing/removing/replacing the Downloads folder. Body Shop will make use of whatever content you have in your game at the time it is run, It loads the content each time it is launched. Add more content, and the next run of Body Shop will include that content, for example.
A few more stray thoughts:
Have you ever (directly by accessing them) added or removed anything in any of the C:/Pogram Files/EA Games folder(s)? If so, what?
Do you by any chance have GunMod's Radiance lighting or do you by any chance have The Scriptorium installed? If so, remove them before testing your game out and see if that helps.
Do you by any chance have more than one folder named EA Games in My Documents?

I am cursed. Nothings working! :'( I take out the cc and hack and it still wont load families. I'm going to curl up in a ball and cry about not having my Sims. Not really, I'll just keep taking ideas and trying to make this darn thing work. Thanks ya'll for helping me with this.

ok one more thought. You say you have all the eps & stuff packs but you are now only running double deluxe, AL, K&B, and M&G now right? ok in order to do this, did you just uninstall what you are not using now and just leave in what you are now using instead of uninstalling everything and reinstalling everything?
EVStofleth:
It was a fresh install with fresh CC along with fresh meshes :-\
amc462000:
ok one more shot at this -- if you open your c:\ program files, and look inside EA Games, are there folders in there that were for the games you no longer have installed? If so, take those out & put them somewhere safe for now. Only leave in the folders that are named The Sims 2 Double Deluxe (or however these are named), AL, K&B, and M&G. Try running the game again. If files from your previously installed eps and stuff packs are not still in then I give up. Hopefully someone else has an idea.
