Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data.... Post by: adalita on November 26, 2007, 06:42:07 am How do I delete mods without losing game data or sims?
I really don't want to have to reload. A mod is making my game all whack and keeps giving me the option of cancel , delete or reset. before I even get into a lot (with sims) tried to run Hack confliction but it errored! any other suggestions? I have 2.9G (30682 files) of cc I really don't want to have to test it all! Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data....

If you think you have mods or hacks you don't know about, run clean installer: http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/ Files that come up red are hacks. If you have for example hacks in your game that are not updated for your current EP, you might run into those problems. Because of this it is reasonable to have a subfolder in your downloads for hacks. The ones you download deliberately. But know that you may inadvertently became infected with hacks through houses (don't download from the Exchange!). Okay, back to the hacks. You can try at first to move the whole download folder and test, if you still got the problem. If not, it's a download, probably a hack. Then you can delete (or move) the red files with clean installer. While you're at it: the pink files are duplicates, you might wanna delete them, too (you can sort the files by number, if you click on the column where it says 'MD5').

Also, you need to extract all the files that was included in the download for it to work. Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data.... Post by: adalita on November 26, 2007, 03:43:10 pm yeah I have that....

Post by: Tenshii~Akari on November 26, 2007, 07:54:33 pm If you have any package files that have any non-latin based characters in their names (i.e. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.), the Hack Conflict Detection Utility will give you an error while trying to read them. Check to see if any of your files in the Downloads folder have those. ;)

now this comes up all the time and I can't do anything in the game! Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data.... Post by: MissDoh on November 27, 2007, 04:07:32 pm In the pic you are showing, it is giving a path to were the error report was put.
Please attach that report to your next reply, maybe someone can figure out what is wrong. Also, did you manage to make the Hack dectection tool work? If you have Vista, check this post so you can make that tool work: http://s3.freepowerboards.com/simwardrobe/viewtopic.php?p=53 In the meantime, make sure all the mods you have are still compatible with the latest ep you have install and that they are the right version for the ep you have install. Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data.... Post by: adalita on November 28, 2007, 01:48:29 am here is the log.... I removed my sims from that lot! dunno but it hasn't happened on the new lot (yet)
Downloaded that.... didn't fix that problem. I re downloaded the Hack detection tool! Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data.... Post by: Tenshii~Akari on November 28, 2007, 08:32:20 am I'm guessing that jump bug is happening with TwoJeffs' Smart Bed Beta mod and another hack. Do you have any other mods that affect how your sims use the beds?
:dontknow: Like I said, it's just a guess, and I was reading some things in the thread over at the beta testing forum (http://box156.bluehost.com/~aestudi1/forums/inteenimater/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=16&st=0&sk=t&sd=a). (have to be registered to view it though.) Since it was one of the first things that jumped out at me when looking at the log... anyone else can feel free to correct me if it's not the issue. :oops: Title: How do I delete mods without losing game data.... Post by: adalita on November 29, 2007, 02:29:10 am I don't know It seemed to probably be the lot as I am in another lot now and all seems fine!
I'll let you know if it happens again in this lot! |
