Well, I used to frequent the only Insim and I recently picked up Sims 2 again.

So I'm back.  Once I remember how the tools I use work, I'll make some stories.

I figured it out.  Turns out that if I played it while I was logged in on Xfire, the game would terminate.

Now that I posted this, it's not gonna work.:smt120

Thanks for the help, anyways.

Well, I spoke too soon.  Argh.  Deleting groups.cache worked once, and now it won't work again.

Also, I don't seem to have a Saved Sims folder.

Deleting the Groups.cache seems to have worked for now.  I love you.  Seriously, thank you so much.:worship:

Don't rush to help me.  I only searched 12 pages into the forum to insure my question hadn't been asked, and spent hours trying to fix it myself.

Once I get to the main menu loading screen after starting up the game, the screen turns blue and an error comes up "Sims 2 Pets has encountered a problem, and will now terminate".  Sometimes it works and plays, but most of the time it doesn't.  I tried reinstalling, but that didn't work, and I tried getting rid of my downloads, but that still didn't work.

Any suggestions?
