Title: Game crashes when in bodyshop and CAS Post by: jacquiimoo on January 20, 2016, 12:42:51 pm So, the other day TS2 decided it no longer wanted to work.
First I was downloading some new clothes and went to load them up in Bodyshop... only to have it crash on me when I tried to create a new sim. I thought maybe it was the custom content, so I removed the new content I downloaded and tried again, no luck. Then I went on a limb and removed ALL of my custom content, still no luck. I went through all the tutorials on MTS on fixing game crashes, nothing works. I eventually tried a clean reinstall of TS2 and still no luck. It does it on CAS as well in the game. I'm playing on a Sony Vaio laptop, I'm about 98.99% sure it's not my laptop because every other game I have ever played still runs perfectly fine on it, including TS3 (which I feel somewhat happy about, but I'm not a fan of TS3 and don't care to try TS4). It ran fine for years. The only major change my laptop has come by is an upgrade to Windows 10, however I have played since the upgrade once again with no problems. Oh and in case it matters, I'm not running off of any of the disks. I am running Ultimate Collection off of Origin, my disks were damaged after years and years of play and when I contacted EA they gave me a download of Ultimate Collection. I'm stumped. :confused: I really would love to still play Sims 2... Sims 3 never really grew on me the same :-\ Title: Re: Game crashes when in bodyshop and CAS Post by: Dullahan on January 20, 2016, 02:25:23 pm That is very interesting.
It still sounds like it is a problem with your graphics/W10 since it is still doing it after removing CC and doing a clean install. You might try one or both of these tutorials: http://www.simsnetwork.com/simpedia/the-sims-2/editions/the-sims-2/specials/graphics-rules-maker-improve-compatibility-with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0uBWrF6wmU You'll want to go to your Origins folder to find the game file, of course. Program Files(x86) > Origins Games Title: Re: Game crashes when in bodyshop and CAS Post by: jacquiimoo on January 20, 2016, 05:40:01 pm I managed to stop it from crashing by using this link http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=5446
It says not to use this fix for Window's 10 but I was desperate and had nothing else left to loose lol. I haven't tried it with my CC yet, I'll probably update here again once I do to let anybody else reading here know. Such a simple fix... and I had spent two days trying everything. Oh, Sims lol. Update: Added CC and it is working fine!! Title: Re: Game crashes when in bodyshop and CAS Post by: Dullahan on January 20, 2016, 09:08:08 pm Great! Glad to see you've figured it out. : P
Some people have loads of problems with sims and W10, but others don't, so it's hard to tell. Hopefully it stays working for you! |
