Just about fed up with Free Time - Problem solved 3/20/2008 Yay!!
synnaj:
Are you using downloaded lots made by other people? I have noticed that FT doesn't like that. I lost all CC when I installed a lot. There wasn't a problem with the lot itself as it was working fine prior to installing FT but since ... it doesn't seem to play nice with CC. You could also just try uninstalling that expansion pack only, make sure it's also deleted from the EA Games folder in C-Drive and check that it's still not hanging about in the "regedit" screen and then reinstall and see if it works. Saves having to do the whole reinstall.
I do know how you feel. I've already had to reinstall once already.

It may be as simple as deleting your groups. cache file before you start you sims game - I found ever since OFB - I need to delete the groups.cache file and then I have no problem with the game.
To find it go to My documents - EA games - the Sims2 - click on that and you will find near the bottom the groups.cache file - simply delete it - it will create it a new one every time you play - hope this helps

Well, the trick that worked for me was deleting the entire Sims2 folder from my documents and letting the game regenerate them. I kept my saved sims folder with the sims I could not do without and 2 neighborhood folders...oh yeah and my CC folder. I cleaned out a lot of CC that I wasn't using too. I have been adding my CC back a little at a time and so far I have had no problems. I have even added back some hacks that were updated for FreeTime.

The only CC you really have to be careful with is the aging/time/aspiration things. I had to remove a few, not many custom fences because they were causing my game to freeze for some reason. Then I removed my old book cases. A lot I had have been updated by Sims2Play. I also removed all my plumbing stuff for the time being because of the tinkering thing. Then I really did a deep cleaning which I didn't need too, but figured while I was in there I might as well do it right. Oh and if you have Rebecah's toddler beds, she's updating those for us. There is some problems with them. I'm glad that worked for you. I made a mistake of keeping mods/hacks in with Pets, and within a couple months everything was nuts. That's how I found out about that trick. I had tried to reset the neighborhoods, it didn't work for me. So only thing I can figure is I must have corrupted a needed file. After I did what you did everything was fine again. Keep us posted.

Did you let it update when you installed it? Check Add/Remove programs for the last used date, if it's 3/12/2071 unistall ALL Sims @ EPs and the base game, delete the folders and registry keys for EA Games whereever you find them, then re install one by one, loading (starting) each as you go. now load the town, associate NL, BV, OFB, UNI etc.. exit, add ONLY the cc you feel you MUST have one thing at a time and run it before adding more.
I had to do that to ge FT working with CC, it's finiky and a lot of cc will conflict that didn't before FT. ie cc stairs and cc body parts are a no go now as is moving a custom sim, custom sims can't eat if you move them off the first lot you had them on so, pick an empty lot, use motherlode to build and leave them there.
