Having combine households issue
Ldyvamp:
I just got a new computer and am running widows 7. I have all expansions and a few stuff packs. Since I have installed everything on this new system I am having an issue with my sims showing back up in the sim bin after combining a household. If they die on the lot, they show up in the sim bin but, no picture is there. All my games are patched. The stuff packs I have are M&G, K&B, Holiday, Glamour & H&M. I didn't see any patches for these particular stuff packs on EA's website. Am I missing a patch for one of these stuff packs from somewhere else? I could swear there was one for M&G somewhere. I'm not sure why this is happening.
SimGirl20:
Thats ironic..because I am thinking about getting a windows7 computer, and I was told by my friend who has one that any windowsXP software would not be compatible with windows7! Is this true? I mean if it is, I won't be getting a new one because then I wouldn't be able to play my sims and thats just not a option lol..
Theraven:
Sims 2 is compatible with Win 7 and vista. Most vista compatible programs will also be compatible with Win7, since the systems are not that different (but almost equally annoying).
The main difference is that paths are slightly different between XP and the newer OS systems. But the game will know where to install as long as you do it the auto way.
I think the patches are more intended for the EPs. Some of the stuff packs use coding from different EPs - like MG, where you'll often need AL mods (if not MG spesific mods) for it to be compatible, even if you don't have AL. EA patches are known to be evil half the time, so I tend to keep far away from them myself...
There are often troubles with a new computer (believe me). Like if you used a backup - did you install the games (and patches) in the order you had it installed before? If you're running a new game, then there could even be something that messed up during the installation. It could also be a mod problem (you have checked if the problem persists without CC, right).
SimGirl20:
Thats good news then. I just have to see when I get one this christmas. *wonders what theraven wrote in tiny font* :confused: lol..
Ldyvamp:
Yes, I have checked without any CC and it is still doing the same thing. All games were installed in order and each patch for every expansion were added after install of each game. I still could swear there was a patch fix somewhere for this problem seperate from the main expansions ones. Maybe I am just Coo Coo...lol I was worried about the game running in windows 7 but it runs great. Only other annoying thing is that the game minimizes back to windows every so often...Not sure why.
