Inquiring minds want to know? Duplicate Projects, Lot catalogue and teleport folders
killertomatoes:
Thanks for your amazing support once again. I copied files and deleted duplicate subfolders in Lot Catalogue and teleport and run the game so far soooo goood. However since I was so hasty in testing, did not read your reply till now so I have already run the game without deleting groups cache, I hope its not too late. Should I delete groups.cache file every time I moderate the game system files? Should I clear it liberally? Also since I have deleted N0001 and N0002 neighbourhoods, can I delete ALL teleport files that have N0001 and N0002 sims2 tmp package extention? I just don't want to get carried away and delete essential files in this spree of cleaning.
May the redundancy and boredom never cross your way:

Personally, everytime I add a lot of new cc in my game I delete that groups.cache file.
It can be done weekly, daily or monthly it is up to you and cannot do harm to the game.
It was not a problem you did not delete the groups.cache file right away you can still do it when you want. :)
I would leave the other N001 and N002 file as they are simply so when you install another ep or patch you won't encounter problems.
If I can be of any other assistance, let me know, I cannot help with everything but try too to the best of my knowledge. :)

You're heaven sent I swear. Thanks sooooo much for your advice and suggestions. You already helped me so many times and saved my game. Long as I don't mess up, I am fine with my system folders for now. However I have one tiny issue of which I wish to consult in your wisdom. I don't know where should I seek for help and since you got such an addictive flair , I hope you wouldn't mind me for asking. You see, the problem is one of my sims can't get food out of a fridge. This happened quite recently. When I select her and tick fridge, only juggle bottles and check food supply options are available. Now I don't think this problem has anything to do with me playing around with her motives via Insim nor maxing hunger/bladder etc. via hacked painting. Because I do the same for her husband and he is OK. My guess is it has to do with the advent calender (xxxsims2) . I don't know whether you are familiar with the object. It is a calender looking like a jigsaw puzzle. Each flapped segment is numbered and named as a door. Sims get really excited opening a flap/door for they receive a surprise gift of chocolate/money/skill/etc. It boosts their fun. Now my sim already have excelled in cooking and the other day she received two extra cooking skill points bonus via calender. She accepted gift (I never guessed that would do harm) and afterwards this problem occured. Now if someone places materials on counter she can cook but she cannot get 'em out of the fridge. I will keep on having other sims assist her or have her serve food from buffet or simply max her hunger via Insim constantly, but if you have known anyone coming across similar problem I would appreciate if you would let me know. Thank you for lightening up my way with your priceless guidance:cheers:

Ahhhh the extra cooking points are the problem. Here is what you need to do; you have 2 options:
Option 1:
Use one of the aspirations reward that permit sims to steal skill point, I cannot remember the name of it but it kinds of looks like a vacuum cleaner. Make a sim with low cooking skills use it on that extra-skill cooking sim and hope it will suck those points.
Options 2 (This is my favorite one and it should work) :
1- Lower her cooking skill with either boolprop testing cheating at on or with one of the hack objects you have to level 8 (or lower if you wish but not higher). Save the game once this is done. Exit the lot and reload the lot then try to make it get food again and cook it, if it does not work, go to step 2.
2- Make your sim study cooking and learn a level the usual way or with a hack object, DO NOT MAX HER SKILL, then save. Try again to make her get food again and cook it, that sim should be able too again. Make sure you are using a Maxis fridge when you do that, not a cc one in case the fridge itself could be a problem too though I doubt it is.
If both fails, I have no idea but I would be really careful not using this calendar on lots that have sims with max skills since it can happen again. When sims exceed the max skill level set by the game, they go beserk as you can see.
BTW, I also delete the groups.cache file after I delete many cc objects, I forgot to mention it. :tongue: I think you posted about that problem in the insimenator section, I answered you there but I guess you did not follow on that post lol.
EDIT: Just checked, it was not you that posted about that.

I wonder how I was coping with the game before having you save me from depths of my misery MissDoh. Donno how to thank you and the creators of the wondorous tool of Insimenator. I decremented 2 skill pts by Skill Adjustor and voila! the problem is solved.:clapp::clapp:
