My Sims are disappearing!

<< < (2/2)

FyrDragon:
I'm starting to feel like you, Rosidbon.  I had put my backup of my neighborhoods back in, then had problems again.  Then I added Pets and now I have Seasons and I think they might have added new problems.  I started having the game freeze in Bodyshop when I was switching from say makeup to face mask (even without any downloads in the game) just randomly, so every now and then I had to force quit and lo and behold I lost all my Sims again!  I decided to start over, uninstalled, reinstalled, just started a new custom neighborhood.  I was in Bodyshop, making a new family and the game crashed.  The next time I went in, it crashed on trying to load that neighborhood.  I took out all my downloads, slowly putting them back in, testing with a maxis neighborhood, go back to my custom neighborhood and all those sims are gone!  Argh!!!!

BeosBoxBoy:
the reason it's happening is explained here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=70774

fixing it... well, I don't think there any real fix for it on the Mac platform, the resource demands are just too much for OSX

FyrDragon:
Thanks, Beosboxboy.  I actually increased the file limit right after I got the game and University, around a year ago.  In my first (and only Veronaville) I actually hadn't played more than the original generation growing up and having kids.  I did however do a couple of things that might have helped the game stretch it's resources - I added a bunch of sims right off the bat and then added more along the way - both in CAS and with adding Nightlife and OFB.  I also resurrected the recently dead Montys' and Capps'.  Sigh.  Now I'm just trying to get rid of anything that might possibly cause the game to crash or freeze, so hopefully I won't have much corrupting any data.  It's those beautiful bodybuilders, I just can't help myself!  ;)
