When you've got it located to just one folder, take that folder, divide it's content up, and put the smaller folders into downloads one at a time, until you've narrowed it down to a smaller group. One thing you might look for as well, is any custom content with foreign characters, that seems to hang up loading a bit, as well. Also, DJS has a file compressor for the sims that's very good at saving space.
Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: EKozski on July 04, 2008, 11:51:05 pm You might want to make sure your Custom Content is compatible with the base game and Nightlife. Sometimes the poly count is too high on a certain object.
Or, one of the package files is bad. Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: neokore on July 05, 2008, 12:02:29 am how do i do that?

delete your groups.cache Go into your sims2 two folder and look for a folder named, Thumbnails. Delete all the files in there. The game makes new ones when you start it up again. Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: neokore on July 05, 2008, 12:47:59 am none of them helped.

Someone more qualified might be able to help you out. Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: neokore on July 05, 2008, 01:48:02 am its okay.
im trying something else right now. Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: dtbronzich on July 05, 2008, 02:32:58 am The only other thing I can suggest is an increase in virtual memory, your paging file might be too small.... a long shot, really. Other than that, the tedious process I mentioned above. Visit this site: http://www.djssims.com/index.php?category=1&subcat=5 look for the compessor, at 6000, you need it! lol
and this one as well: http://www.simwardrobe.com/ look for the hack detection utility Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: neokore on July 05, 2008, 02:40:49 am FIXED IT!
ends up there was these two broken files. and since i had a folder with everything i downloaded i took your advice but went half-half and extracted the downloads somewhere else and i found what was wrong. Title: My Sims 2 deluxe closes unexpectedly Post by: dtbronzich on July 05, 2008, 01:35:44 pm Excellent. I have all of my cc installed in folders in my download folders, which makes it fairly easy to find the bad files. I usually download to desktop, and unpack the files to a folder named something like "newdownloadsdesktop", compress them, and put that folder into the downloads folder, and start the game; if it starts and runs, (and i always run it to the household level), then all is well and good, and I distribute the cc to the proper folders, ie: walls, floors, furniture, beosjubodies, xmnsims, etc., if not, then the folder is removed, and I begin the process as above, in my previous post, without having to look through all the thousands of files already in place.
