Title: Crashing..... Post by: tubegal1988 on March 02, 2009, 02:59:21 pm - Begins to hit computer - 1headwall WHY WONT YOU WORK!!! argh. okay so -- this past week i picked up playing the sims 2 again. i only downloaded the ORIGINAL version. i did a load of research looking for great custom content... but every time i went to start it i would freeze up. so i was like okay. i got the download organizer from mts2 and everything, but it continued to not work. so i was like okay... went uninstalled it and installed it again. this time, i again got a lot of custom content (mainly different stuff this time..), because i wanted to make the cullen house for my friend [we are big twilight fans] no now every time i start the game up, it crashes. i got the download organizer thing again, and this time, i got delphy's organizer too.... AND i did do the process of elimination thing, and tried to narrow it down to the source [unlike last time], but it STILL keeps crashing! ... help? 3cry PS- Where does it crash, you might ask.. well -- the first time it froze while loading on the first screen, like after the ea games challenge everything, and the movie thing it would load until there was one little thing left [so it would be like --------_ ] and then it would freeze NOW it just freezes before it even starts to load. :'( Title: Re: Crashing.....

Post by: Engram on March 02, 2009, 05:48:10 pm Take out all custom content and fire up a clean game. This is the easiest way to see if the crashing is caused by the CC or by the game itself. Let us know how you go with firing up a clean game.
When downloading custom content, make sure that you only download stuff that is compatible with the base game only since that is all you have. Putting in CC that was made for other EPs is going to cause you problems. Title: Re: Crashing.....

She's really mean so we made her marry a guy we named the devil and we made her have a really ugly child named devil spawn so when u click on the book case it says: "read to devil spawn" hilarious.

Post by: SimGirl20 on March 09, 2009, 11:17:16 pm Not to be rude or anything but like Engram stated you cannot have ANY cc that is not base-game compatiable so in other words what cc you download should not have any other symbol except for the green Sims2 plumbob/diamond, if you want your game to work again I would say to take out or possibly delete your downloads folder start a newly installed game and ONLY download custom content that works only for your base-game nothing else, if you do then you will likely keep seeing the same problems :-\
