Title: Blank black screen upon Sims 2 launcher Post by: SparkleSim on April 22, 2008, 03:20:38 pm HI, I was wondering is somebody can help me with something. I just got Bon Voyage and you know how they have that new startup where you get a big screen called "Sims 2 Luancher" and you can click that big button to play. Well, sometimes when you do so, it doesn't start up and just comes down to a black screen with your typical white arrow curser hanging around. Usually I have to right click and end the program.
Yes, I am patched. Usually to fix this problem, I have to pull out the sims 2 folder from EA games and start afresh. Then the game starts. This problem does not happen all the time, just sometimes, but it is VERY annoying. Has anybody else had this problem?

and try to delete the groups.cache and accessory.cache, and generally all other files that has the name .cache behind (the "The Sims 2" folder should only have other folders in it, and the loose files in that folder is safe to delete). these files can get corrupted by downloads. and deleting them usually helps.

Thanks so much! :D
