Endless loading...
Xtian913:
Hello all,
So I just got Apartment Life for my birthday, while it installed fine, it is giving me an loading issue:
My custom content seems to be loading fine when it comes to empty houses, I can load lots with furnished houses no problem, including homes with custom content.
However, whenever I try to load up ANY family, even Maxis families which contain no custom content, the game will just load endlessly. I finally have to CTRL + ALT + DEL out of the game.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Why would a family cause the game to never load? Please, any help would be appreciated.

Some custom content is still interfering. I spent the better part of a day to clean up my downloads folder. Get yourself "see them" and activate the testing cheats option. That overrides any error, loads the lots and the error message can point you in the right direction of what causes the trouble. Since it happens with maxis stuff it has to be something global.

Oh, global error doesn't sound good... So how did u clean up your download folder? Does this "see them" mark specific files which may be causing errors, and then u just delete them?
Sorry for the questions, I've just been a lucky one not to have any major Sims 2 errors - till now.

"See them" is originally an tool to remove the blur. But it has a bunch of other useful features apart from that. It points to an error ingame, if the option is enabled. When you enter the lot, an error message will pop up to be simultaneously saved to your log. The lot will load despite the error. That may be of some help or maybe not. If the particular file is named, you can find it easily, if it's not, the easiest way to do the search is a 50/50 procedure. Remove 50 % of your packages from your download and look if the error still occurs. You can narrow it down that way. Procede with taking 50% of the infected bunch and continue till you're down to a few files.

Thanks so much for the input. I can see why that would take a whole day almost. Were u receiving errors with your game too, and that's why you cleaned yours out? If so, what did you have to remove? Also, where can I find the tool? Its just something to go in the downloads folder, right?
