My Lots Wont Load!

[sora_of_ohio]

I just noticed the weirdest thing. I just downloaded some lots, ok? Now when I play, the loading screen (for lots, not the main Sims 2 screen) just stays there and the cursor keeps animating. I don know how but I think it's somehow stuck. It doesn't just freeze, so do speak, it's just that it keeps loading...and loading...and loading....and loading...and loading...and loading!

Please help me! Any suggestions will be taken!

Two words:  mod conflict.  You might want to go through your recent downloads and find any mods you have, or download and run the Sims 2 Hack Conflict Detection Utility from Sim Wardrobe. (under Sims 2, then "Programs") It's possible they're not working well with another mod you have in your Downloads folder.  

If it comes up with zero conflicts, an error log will also help narrow down what could be happening.  Here's how you get one:

Use "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" once you start the game up, then go into one of your lots.  An error box should pop up, (make note of the name and location that the error log is created) and once it does, you can choose either to cancel, reset, or delete whatever is causing the problem.  (you'll have better success of getting into the lot if you choose "Delete".  If it's an error related to a sim directly, though, it will delete the sim temporarily.)  

As soon as the lot loads, you can either minimize or exit the game and look in your Sims 2 "Logs" folder, and find the most recent error log by sorting the folder by "Date Created", and post it here for someone to look at.  :angel:

Thanks, I actually DO have that program! And when I ran it...there WAS a conflict! Something with "the Urbz"...Thanks a lot! Though I havent run them since I deleted the bad mod. Wish me luck!

They STILL wont load, not even MAXIS ones! I used a simple technique to test it. I plopped a very small, empty lot in my hood. When I tried to load it, the little bars filled up, but when it emptied again, it just stuck on LOADNIG! I'm in a serious jam here! Somebody HELP ME!!! Otherwise I cant upload reliable things here anymore!

But did you try entering boolprop testingcheatsenabled true at the title screen beforehand, then loading the lot?

If that doesn't do it, I'm not sure what's going on... :scratch:

yep. I'll check with EA for a fix.
