Title: Sims stuck in place!
Post by: BAMfanatic on September 09, 2008, 12:50:48 pm
When my family loads, my sims won't move.  The time stays stuck, and when i click somewhere for them to go it doesn't say "go here" it says "*teleport"

No matter how many times I fast forward time, it stays at 8am.

When I go into build mode, it won't let me put any objects in my apartment. It just says location out of bounds no matter where I try to put.

does anyone know what the problem might be?


Thanks.

It sounds like a mod conflict.

Thanks.

So I took out the teleport mods, and it fixed the (*teleport) problem.  Everything else still doesn't work though.  I guess I'm going to have to take everything out and put it in bit by bit.  :(

Ugh! I've had to do that before and it is not fun. What I do is copy the downloads folder, then empty the one in the Sims2 folder and add them back 10 at a time until the problem shows up. Then I can zero in on it. The oposite way works as well, copying and then removing 10 at a whack until it goes away. Either way it is a pain in the a$$.

The simplest way I've found of doing this is splitting your downloads in half and installing one half, checking your game, then taking out and repeating with the other half. Hopefully one will be fine and the other will give you problems. Take the problem half and split it again and keep repeating this until you've found the culprit.

Also, if you haven't done this already, take all you mods/hacks and put them in a subfolders within your Downloads folder so you can easily pull it out if you have a conflict. I also suggest you check all your mods and make sure they are updating for AL or have been confirmed by the creator to be compatible. If they haven't, I suggest you remove those ones from your game and wait for them to be updated/confirmed to work. :)

I have a hack subfolder in my downloads, so I'm going to move that one first, and if doesn't work, then I'm going to have to move everything out in pieces.

I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it works.

I do have a hack folder.  That sounds like a good plan with the splitting in half.  

I know all the hacks and mods in my hack folder are updated, because I deleted every hack in there when i installed AL.  but there could have been a few that were just in my regular downloads folder that slipped through the cracks.

Thank you guys so much for your help.

I'd say "have fun", but I somehow suspect that it won't be. I like Joy's splitting in half better, too. I've been beating myself up for nothing. Duh!

I'd first run the "Sims 2 Hack Conflict Detection Utility"
you can get it a Paladins Place it might show something that helps befor the long File hunt!

It's possible that it's an object/custom food/custom career in your game causing your sims to stay "frozen".  What you might want to do is enable debug mode (boolprop testingcheatsenabled true) and see if you get an error box to appear when you load that lot.  If you do, take note of what it says and the name and location of the error log, then find it and attach it to your next post.  Seeing that error box and what's inside the log may help you narrow your problem down.  ;)

(And a temporary fix when you just want to play the lot itself and "ignore" the error for that moment, just click on "Delete".  Whatever was deleted, say a career or sim, will respawn themselves upon exiting and returning to that specific lot.  Objects that come up in the error box, on the other hand, will be deleted from the lot permanently... and you'd have to buy that object again if you want it back, though it may throw you the same error each time you try to.  ;) )

Sorry it's been so long since I updated.   The only file I see showing up that says it conflicts after I take everything out is

3dade26f104224369a7003a3432eda42_0002.package


But I can't find the file anywhere!

I agree with Tenshi.

I had this same issue on an owned community lot.

Turn on testing cheats.

Then click on every item in your apartment. If the file is corrupt, a window will popup asking whether you want to delete the item from your apartment. You have to click on every item in every apartment you own. It may take a while, but it will more then likely work. I would delete any corrupt items I can find until time starts ticking again.

I found the file I was talking about, and Clean installer shows that it's an object recolor, and it's highlighted in red.

I deleted the file, and i'm going to try again.  I'm not sure what it was a recolor of though.

It's a possibility that particular file was a rogue mailbox hack.  ;)  That could be the cause of your problem.

If you can locate the latest error log located in the folder "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Logs" & attach it to your reply I may be able to help you :)
