Title: One house crashes game when trying to load the house
Post by: Nonni on March 17, 2010, 01:02:25 am
I have a house that I have been working on for 2-3 months. It is for a contest. I had no trouble until I moved a couple in to test the utility of the house. It played fine everything was working great, that was last night.

Today I opened the game and tried to get into the house but the games crashed and terminated. I removed the couple. I opened the Clean Installer and tided up the downloads. I took out all downloads for the past 3 days.

Still crashing. I removed all meshes and hacks.

Still crashing. I took Half of my downloads out of the Sims 2 folder.

Still crashing. I took everything, everything out of my download folder.
I deleted cig-macallit and accessories.
I did a hack conflict scan.
I put the house into the houses and lots bin, created a brand new empty world and pulled the house out of the bin and placed it in the new neighborhood.

The game still crashed when I try to enter the lot.

These are my game specs:

I was going to remove all the houses I have downloaded in the last 2 weeks and put them in the trashcan.

Should I also trash the house and start from scratch? Or is there hope to save it?

Thanks from Nonni

Sometimes lots/houses just become corrupted for no apparent reason. It totally sucks, and I feel your pain, but in my case the only solution has been to go outside, scream for 30 seconds, then come back inside and bulldoze and start again.

Yeppers, starting over. Fortunately, I had a diagram that I made on graph paper and took some pictures, also. I have to say I did enjoy learning and building. I expect the next one to build faster and easier.

Thanks for the screaming and bulldozing. Into every life there must fall: (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt301/debweb2222/Images/Emoticons/umbrella.gif)

Right on, Nonni! I'm sure the new lot will be twice as spectacular as the original one!

Is there any way to restore the backup? (you do backups, don't you?)
