OMG IT WORKED AHAHRHAHRAHRHAHRAR I FIGURED IT OUT AND IT WORKED IT WAS ONLY 2 CAREERS AND AHHAHARHAHHRAHA YES YES SYESSSSSI DANCED AROUND MY HOUSE LIKE A RETARD I WAS SO HAPPY

great, thanks. I'll try it.

Also, just a question,
when i remove my custom content, the houses and stuff that contain custom furniture and walls - those objects will be removed, yes? but when i put them back in, will it still be there?

And if I have houses and people. i.e .sims2package files, do i just include them with the process or exclude them?

edit: I have come across this: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Game_Problem which is exactly what my problem is. However, the process involves "backing up" my "user files", and then removing them etc. And I have no idea what they are, as I am only a 14 year old boy. So are there any dangers of doing this, like having my computer permanently shut down or something? And could someone please inform me as to what user files are and basically what im doing in this process?

edit edit: don't worry, after reading over the file i'm pretty sure i understand the process. as long as im not removing like my computers files, like system 32 or anything.

Okay, well I tried using the memory improver thingy majig. Because the problem has gotten even worse. I go to the neighbourhood screen, go to create a family, and it instantly crashes. And also, after it has crashed, the usage skyrockets to around 90%. If there is ANYTHING at all I can do, please tell me. I have tried deleting some files from my downloads folder, but it doesnt do anything.

Allright, sure thing. How does that sims 3 crach solution thing work?

Okay, so over the past few months the game has been crashing frequently. What will happen is, I'll go to the neighborhood screen, enter a few lots and houses, then, when i try to enter a lot, a part of the back ground music will play over and over again. E.g boop da ba boop da ba boo boo boo boo boo boo boo. And then it will say "The game has crashed. The application will now quit." or something. However, I'm pretty sure its not because of hard drive space or anything like that, as I have a crapload a CRAP LOAD of custom content (4.36 mb)and mods, and my hard drive is 50% free. And when I first got the game and I didn't have custom content, the game never crashed. Also, it seems that the more custom content I put on, the less time it takes for the message to pop up and make the game crash. E.g a month ago i was able to enter 10 lots before it crashed, now its only 2 at the very best. Also, just a theory, it may be that the more I play it, the worst it gets. Because I had just finished playing it for like 2 days (I leave the game on and minimize it over night) it crashed as soon as i entered a sim into a lot and tried to put a door in. So please help me if you can, I'm really desperate. And last time I had a problem it was fixed straight away. Thank you in advance.

YESS!!!!!!!! THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANK YOU THANK YOU OMG IT WORKED THAKN YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU THANK YOU OMG YAYY

Yes I have that fanta thingo, but that's it. So do you think that would be the problem? Nothing to do with custom clothing?
So, should I try and remove that file? Geez, its gonna be hard finding it hahaha.
Okay, So should I remove the downloads folder temporarily and try that?

Okay, this is the one.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me what it is thats causing it!
It just says "Missing action in string table" or something,
Also, some additional information. The same thing happens when you click on the wardrobe just to change clothes, however you can just click reset and then click it again and then you can change clothes. But this doesn't work with the clothes rack thing.

Okay, every time i try and make one of my sims buy something from the clothing rack, it comes up with this error that says "An error occured in N004_t202_user blah blah blah
Error: missing string in action table
and then it says the error is found in ea games/the sims 2/logs/object error ObjectError_N004_t220
Then I get three options - Delete, Reset, and cancel.
and I can't do delete because then it just deletes my sim and it turns into build and buy mode,
I can't do reset because that just does nothing, and the same goes with cancel. also, objecterror_n004_t220 is a text document, and it just has all of this weird coding stuff. It might be because of the custom content I have, because I have quite a lot of it. So does anyone know a way of finding out what the problem is, where it is located and deleting it once and for all so it doesn't do this anymore? Thankyou soooo much
