Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: lexxia on August 20, 2007, 04:09:09 pm I couldn't find anywhere else to put this, so hope it's okay!
OK, so Inteeminator is causing problems with my bodyshop, because of it bodyshop won't open. So, I want to uninstall Inteeminator but I don't know how to. Can anyone help or show me a place that answers my question? THANKS. -Lexx Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: ancienthighway on August 20, 2007, 04:22:40 pm Inteenimater does nothing with Bodyshop. You've got a different problem. But if you want to delete Inteen, for whatever reason, click on the My Documents icon on the Desktop, click to EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads and delete the 6 Inteenimater files, plus any Flavor Packs you have installed.
Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: lexxia on August 20, 2007, 07:08:53 pm Oh, well I did hack detection and it said all the inteem files were a possible threat, and I didn't have any problems with it before I downloaded inteeminator. Any ideas what the problem is?
Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: ancienthighway on August 20, 2007, 07:41:41 pm When Bodyshop doesn't load, it's most probably a mesh that requires an EP you don't have. Begin by deleting My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\cigen.package and groups.cache. If that doesn't start up Bodyshop, it is a bad mesh you have to track down.

I deleted both of the files ancienthighway told me about. Didn't work. I removed my downloads folder temporarily. Didn't work. I removed my SavedSims folder temporarily. Didn't work. What is wrong with my computer?? Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: MissLoaf on August 21, 2007, 05:18:08 am Did you check in TaskManager if the Bodyshop process starts at all?
Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: MissDoh on August 21, 2007, 09:12:14 am You can also try and delete the CASthumbnail.package file located in the Thumbnails folder.
Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: lexxia on August 21, 2007, 11:55:25 am I deleted the CASthumbnail, and I opened up the processes for Windows Task Manager, and I thought it was going to work because my computer was being all slow like it did when I started Bodyshop previously. So Bodyshop was on the processes, and it got to about 24,000K and then stopped.
...what does it want from me??? Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: MissDoh on August 21, 2007, 12:09:55 pm Try to move your downloads folder and see if bodyshop would open without it
Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: ancienthighway on August 21, 2007, 12:20:06 pm What I've seen you do so far...
You've deleted cigen.package, groups.cache, CASthumbnail.package, moved Downloads and SavedSims out of the game. Still nothing on Bodyshop. How are you starting your Bodyshop? From a shortcut, quick start, or menu? When new EPs are installed, shortcuts and quickstart links aren't always updated. Starting Bodyshop from the Start Menu and newest (by release) EP should work every time though. Bad meshes or other downloads appear to be ruled out by removing the two folders. Check also to be sure you don't have another folder under The Sims 2 that contains CC. Doing a search for .package with Windows Explorer should bring up all package files and folders.

Download the Clean installer from here http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/ Run it to find all hacks in your game. They show up as red. then you can delete the ones you do not want. You can also check for more CC in anyother Files this way and move them. However Miss is right inteen would do nothing to Body shop. you have a bad file some where. try this. go to start/my docs/ EA games/ The sims/ take out Saved sims and downloads. Run BS. Make sure you are running it from the newest EP you have installed. If that is still not working I would say you need to reinstall the last EP. I dont think you would have to install all of them just the last one you installed. Just back up your game and you Lots so you dont lose your sims. I dont recall how to do that I think you go to Start/My PC/ Doc's and settings. and I think you just save the Whole EA Games file. Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: lexxia on August 21, 2007, 02:41:05 pm OK. Ran clean installer...deleted everything red AND pink. Started Bodyshop, it loaded to 24,000K and stopped. Once Again.
I also ran Bodyshop from the start menu instead, which did the same thing. By the way, I forgot to mention some backround stuff. OK, when I installed Seasons, Bodyshop didn't work. So I searched around and got Seasons Bodyshop by going to Program files, EA games, Seasons, CSBin, and then I moved the shortcut for Bodyshop from the menu to my desktop. I ran it, and then it worked. Then, about a week or more passed in which I downloaded a bunch of stuff. I tried to run it again and it didn't work. SO, I think it's a download problem. So I did the search like ancienthighway told me to and it found 9170 files, all in a huge range of folders, some in like subfolders of TSData and weird stuff like that. And nova-storm I am thinking of reinstalling but it worked at one point! I really don't wanna risk losing everything and taking a ton of time to back my files up, so I want to try to figure out another way first. Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: Tenshii~Akari on August 21, 2007, 03:15:37 pm Did you ever try deleting the "Accessory.cache" file (along with the "groups.cache" one) in your "C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2" folder? That's also a common one that can get corrupted. If that doesn't work, well... that's a real stumper. :?
Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: lexxia on August 21, 2007, 03:39:33 pm Deleted it.
Of course, it didn't work. ...*kills self* It keeps doing that same thing, it'll load to around 24,000k and stop. Title: I hope this is in the right place...:O Post by: nova-storm on August 21, 2007, 03:58:45 pm Yes she did delete them.
Lex you can Save all your work and not lose your sims. Save your EA games file that is in start/My PC/ Doc's and settings. then you should be Ok. and not lose anything. Some times BS just gose Buggie like that and all you can do is reinstall. But like I said just uninstall and reinstall the last ep you put in. that should work. But 1st Try this as well. Take your WHOLE Sims2 file out of EA games and try to run it that way. it will make a new file called sims 2 you can delete. if you do this and still can not run BS then you must reinstall. In clean inctaller all Pink files are just files that you have more then one of. they are not bad. all Red files are Hacks such as Insim and inteen. Again they are not bad just Hacks to change Game play you have installed. They are only Red so you can't miss them. so follow these steps: 1st. Open start/my doc's/EA games/ the sims 2 2nd make a file on your desk top called sims ( or what ever) 3rd take ALL FILES THAT ARE IN YOUR SIMS 2 FOLDER and put them in the new folder on your desk top. 4 Start BS. IF it runs it is a file you downloaded. IF it does not run you need to reinstall. No way around it. BS has some how become crupt If you need to reinstall do this. 1st Go you Start/MyPC Doc's and settings/EA games Take that File out and place it on your desk top. 2nd Go to Start/Programs/EA Games Find the Newest EP you have installed and UNINSTALL IT. 3rd REINSTALL the EP you just UNINSTALLED. 4th Start BS. 5th If all works then out the EA games file Back in to Start/My PC/ Doc's and settings. and replacxe the new one you will see. 6th Start BS. If it did not work on number 4 you might have to reinstall ALL GAMES but saving the EA games file will keep you from all your sims deleteing. |
