Crashed again! Uninstall?
Janis2005:
I took out all my downloads as advised, re-started the game. Tried to play a family from the previous expansion and the load screen kept loading for about 30 mins. I gave up and restarted the computer. When I went to clear the cache files again (I do this before I start the game), I noticed that the accessory cache files were again at 6240kb. It seems that every time the game crashes, it does so at this exact point. I checked the neigjhbourhood files using Clean Installer and found a few empty packages, which I deleted. I also noticed in the collections folders that several of the expansion pack collections were duplicated and highlighted in pink. Is this a problem? Should I delete the the duplicates? Or should I give up and uninstall the game? If I do have to uninstall, do I have to uninstall all of the expansions and stuff packs or just AL? I would really appreciate any help as I am totally lost!:sad4:

Don't uninstall yet. In My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2. Delete the Accessories.cache, Groups.cache and cigen(if you have it) files and try again. If that doesn't work, move the entire Sims 2 folder to a safe location out of My Documents and try - the game will re created the files it needs.
ONLY if all of that fails will you need to uninstall. Any saved games will be in the Sims 2 folder you moved if you want to try to put them back.

Thanks, I`ll try again. It`s very frustrating,as I never had all of these problems with previous expansions. I will keep my fingers crossed. I always delete cache files and cigen before starting the game and it doesn`t seem to have worked so far. Maybe taking the whole folder out will solve it. I`ll be in touch when I`ve tried it!.:worship:

Still no luck. Then I did a more thorough search and cleared out a few adult skin files and things that were in places other than downloads(saved sims and more empty packages in neighbourhood files,) Then put back all of my downloads, cleared the cache files and got the game running sweetly now. Keeping my fingers, toes and everything else crossed and won`t be downloading anymore "suspect" files for a while!
