Title: Strange Goings-on Post by: hotbeeyatch on March 14, 2007, 01:42:11 am I installed the Seasons EP when it came out, making sure I removed all my hacks including Insimenator and Inteenimator. I added back in hacks that were Seasons compatible and have been playing just fine since. Now, today my nephew decided to try and start up Homecrafter while I was loading my game and since then I have had nothing but problems. When the game opened, all my houses were gone so I shut down my game and restarted it after Homecrafter was closed and all my houses were back. Now, though I have utter chaos in my game. I have Sims who have changed skintones, mutant pets, Sims who are married but no longer know each other and the list of Sims in a household is no longer seperated into Sims and pets or even catergorized by age, all of them are listed in alphabetical order no matter what age they are.
I have no idea what could now be causing this or if there's anything I can do other than backing up my downloads and reinstalling my game. Title: Strange Goings-on Post by: Mado on May 27, 2007, 02:17:23 am That sounds pretty crazy. I'm sorry but I don't know what could be going on. Maybe theres some sort of glitch on your game?
Sorry, I hope it works out okay! Title: Strange Goings-on Post by: ancienthighway on May 27, 2007, 02:48:32 am It sounds like both TS2 and Homecrafter managed to avoid file locks and access the game files at the same time. So now you have a corrupt neighborhood. Is it all 'hoods or just the one? There is a way to restore the 4 that EA provides without having to reinstall, but if it was a custom 'hood, delete it and start over.
Title: Strange Goings-on Post by: Mado on May 28, 2007, 08:03:09 pm My neighborhoods all game with the game. I haven't downloaded any custom ones, but I did download a few custom houses (which totally didn't work) but the problems were happening even before I downloaded those.
What is the way to restore the neighborhoods? Title: Strange Goings-on Post by: ancienthighway on May 28, 2007, 10:26:20 pm Delete the folders corresponding to the neighborhoods you want to replace from My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Neighborhood. N001 is PV, N002 is ST, and N003 is VV.
Then copy that folder from C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods and paste it My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Neighborhood |
