HELP! AAAAAGH! I'm ready to delete the whole shebang and toss my sims games!!!!

[danceswithwands]

GRRR!

Ok, before I say what the issue is today...

I've tried removing my dl folder, deleting cache files, and even completely uninstalling and reinstalling every one of my games.

I keep getting this error during play:

Error: Bad gosub tree number.

If I don't CONSTANTLY give my sims something to do I get this error- like every second it pops up- on every lot- in every "neighborhood".  It happens with ALL my sims.  It is constant and soooo annoying.

It's bad enough I have to deal with the game crashing all the time, the body shop not working, but now this!

CAN ANYONE tell me WHAT THE HECK this error means and/or how to "fix" it?  pReTtY PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE??

It's driving me totally nuts!

I downloaded the patch at EA but this is still an issue so I'm at a total loss.   

Any ideas anyone, please???

THANKS in advance- oh- and if I can fix all these issues I can begin doing custon sims/requests again- so if you're on my "to-sim" lists just hang in there or go to someone else if you're sick of waiting on me to work all these bugs out.

BTW-

I have all EP's up to AL and all SP's except for mansion/garden stuff and ikea stuff.

I've now removed all my stuff again and done another uninstall.  I'm going to try to load each EP and test-play them seperately- then add a stuff pack one at a time and test those.... this will likely take all weekend...

I have to wonder if it's worth it?  Maybe it's time to find a new hobby or go stick my nose in another series of books??? LOL

Thanks again for any help or pointers you can offer me.

If this is happening when playing with completely virgin folders inside your The Sims 2 folder (that is, NO downloads, nothing in Saved Sims which does not come with the game, nothing in LotCatalog that does not come with the game, nothing in Collections that does not come tih the game, nothing in sc4Terrains that does not come with the game, nothing in Movies that does not come with the game, nothing in Neighborhoods that does not come with the game, and so on), the after it happens and you Quit the game, check the error log.

You need only look at he first few lines of any errors stored there -- that can help determine what is generating the error.

If you can't determine which are come-with-the-game items and which are not, then back-up all the items you will need later on (see below) - essentially that would be the entire The Sims 2 folder (hover your mouse over that folder, right click on it and choose Copy, then go to wherever you want to keep the back-up, place your cursor, right-click and choose Paste) - to someplace else on your computer, then do an uninstall and reinstall of all your EPs and SPs and choose the 'don't save my games' option. That will generate a virgin, game-items-only The Sims 2 folder. Other than that, there is really no reason to uninstall or reinstall.

If the error does not occur with virgin folders, then replace them with your backed-up folders - one at a time - and launch a test game each time to see if the error crops up (don't Save those test games, just Quit them).

Once you have replicated the error, you'll know which folder's contents are to blame, and checking the error log may be a big help in figuring out what the culprit is.

Worst case scenario is that one of your 'hoods is corrupted and will have to be totally deleted and started over from scratch.

Very long shot is something which extremely rarely happens: a lot, even though showing in the game, is also incorrectly 'stuck' in the Teleport folder as well.

Thank you so much- I bet I am missing a file somewhere that is "hidden" where I wouldn't think to look for it.

I am going to go REALLY look at every single error and file.  Thanks again!

Will let you know what/if I "discover" anything.

Sounds like a few of you are getting this message the other 2 that asked since you have the same problem as the OP I would follow the advice given to the OP and see what happens.

This error is caused by an incompatible hack that is referencing a BHAV function which doesn't exist in your version of the game.
