My Game Won't Play
coffeeTime:
Could be a sucuRom problem. http://www.simprograms.com/658/securom-removal-tool-added/ Some people never have troubles with it, I’m one of the hundreds that had the game become unplayable after installing the Free Time patch. I have had two new computers since then and would not let sucuRom on either of them. After installing all my games (bought legally, I'm no pirate) I used the no disk crack to ensure sucuRom never gets on my computer again.
Added a link so you can read about what sucuRom can do to your computer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SecuROM
Dullahan:
With the vanishing sims, did this happen after editing the sims in SimPE, or just on its own?
If it did it on its own, then it could be something corrupt in your game, meaning re-installing would be a very good idea.
SenkoTwiik:
I will run the Securom removal.
Dullahan, It just happened on its own. I edited sims in SimPE, but those same sims I edited were not the ones (or even related to the ones) that disappeared.
UPDATE: If I did this right, SecuROM is now off my computer. But it said I can't use my disk anymore on that site or SecuROM will just be added back on. If I can't use my disk, how do I play?
One more thing. Do I uninstall and reinstall my whole game, or just my last EP?

coffeeTime, we do not condone the use of (illegal) cracks, etc here, as it clearly says in our forum rules. Please don't offer any information, links or other means to suggest/point anyone to obtaining them. Doing so again will earn you further warnings and/or temporary or permanent bans.
Senko, it's possible the SimPE edit caused the problem, even if it affected different sims. Keep in mind, any edit you do on sims in SimPE risks affecting the memories of other sims in games, which can cause borkages. This is why they always suggest you back up your game before doing anything in SimPE, just in case it results in a corrupt file.
If you want to take coffeeTime's suggestion, then please realize you do so at your own risk and support won't be able to be given here, since cd-cracks of any kind are not exactly legal.
What you might have to do is back up your downloads and sims and do a clean reinstall. It's an ouch move, I know (one I've had to do myself a few times), but you might have to do this if nothing else is working (loading a game without downloads, deleting cache files, etc, bypassing the launcher, etc).
