Weird Multiple Glitches

Start by making sure the mods you have are compatible with your game.

Run Paladin's Hack Conflict Detection Utility (www.simwardrobe.com).

If you've ever downloaded any lots, use Clean Installer (MTS2) to scan your Downloads folder to see if you have files with no type that have 32 hexadecimal character names (0-9, a-f).  If you can't identify them, they may be mods installed with the lot and causing problems now.

If you still have problems, you'll need to do a binary search of your mods to find which ones are giving you problems.

The hack detector picked up 37 things (lol no wonder the game isn't working)...what now?

Edit...I cleared out the cache and the cigen files and also deleted all my inTeen stuff because I don't need it anymore. Though the game loaded really slowly and really weird (It started sorta, but I saw the blue screen and the regular mouse cursor, so I hit ctrl+alt+del, had to type in my computer's password and when the computer reloaded the game started up), it worked! Better yet, CAS seemed back to normal, though I didn't really play with it, I just wanted to see it. The Sim was back in the right place in front of the mirror. :)

So yeah, it may be fixed. Thanks for all who helped. I'll see what happens later on if I try making a family.

This means you have 2 Files that conflict with each other. For each of you 37 entrys listed. scan through you might find one or 2 listing the same files remove one file for each entry then run hack confliction Utility agan. Once it lists None try your game!

The game will load slowly the first time you run it after you delete cache and cigen files. That's normal, but don't worry. It's just taking a bit of extra time to generate clean copies of those files. :)

what expansions do you have? your problem could be outdated hacks, if you installed any new expansion packs. it either looks like hack conflicts, or outdated hacks to me. they can really bork your game, speaking from past experience.
