i've had two things happening to my game, both are really weird and i have no explanation for it.
first of all, when i was playing my game in don lothario's house, everytime he got in the shower he would disappear completely and live mode would be disabled. i tested it on another house and nothing was wrong with the showers. so i made don marry cassandra and i haven't had problems with the showers at her house.
the shower thing is weird, but i guess it's insignificant if it's not happening anymore. i'm adding this though because i was thinking maybe this could be part of the issue i'm having now, and maybe there's more to it.
i have no idea though.

second, i get random crashing in the game.
this has happened quite a few times so far, and i know it's probably not going to stop until i figure out the problem.
i've deleted my catche files, that doesn't seem to be the problem.
the game is crashing while it's loading lots, and i had one crash when i just arrived at a lot. there's no in-game crashing, as of yet. just loading screen crashing. and it doesn't happen all the time. it happens often, but not EVERY time, so it's random.
i'm about to remove my downloads and see if the crashing persists.

meanwhile, can anybody help me? what could possibly be the cause of the crashing?
i can't do a full reinstall of the game, btw.
i hope somebody can help. thanks if you can.

does this one need to be updated for AL and m&g?
also, will it be made inteen compatible or is is abandoned?

does this hack need to be updated or can we use it with apartment life/m&g?

much appreciated. just link me when you have the rest, and i'll probably bookmark it or something.
have a good night. thank you.

that sounds good, thank you! i hope it isn't /too/ time consuming.
you're very generous i've been looking for some for weeks.

oh alright! that'll be good for combinations and such in case i change my mind.
thank you so much for doing this. it's very helpful.

hmm it's ok, interesting plot. but i think it is more like a stream of dialogue from a movie than an actual story. maybe if you write in paragraphs, narrating what's happening from a 'narrators view' (yours), or from just allisons view, matts view, or anyone elses view, you know.
umm maybe you shouldn't put 'allison: (what she says here)' and 'matt: (what he says here)' etc.
and just write it like an actual story i don't know. i hope i helped though.

i guess it was the pond water mod that i had. i'm not ABSOLUTELY sure yet though because i downloaded a pets version of that mod and deleted the really old one, but i still had the problem so now i just deleted it completely and i'm going to load the game back up.
thank you to everyone who tried to help.

hey, thank you very much. just keep me updated when possible.

**do you think you could make the medium and the olive skintones options for S3? i'm not sure which one i want to use yet.
thanks again.

hey, thank you so much! i found the problem. i was forgetting to search all of the forums.
thank you!

are you sure? because no one here (yet) has come up with a solution that i've tried, that works. :S

will cleaning my hard drive make this bug that i've created by installing/reinstalling nightlife after seasons disappear?
btw, i've uninstalled and then reinstalled seasons again, it didn't make any difference.

amc4620000 thank you for the links, but those are all custom content problems.
this is a problem with just the maxis terrain, not any corrupt or missing custom content terrain.

i know, but it is time consuming and i'm not sim p.e. savvy at all, so i was hoping someone could do it for me?

it was only nightlife though, i've done it before and i didn't have a problem. i don't really know how nightlife can corrupt files in seasons. i found my seasons disks so i guess i'll just do an uninstall/reinstall and see if it helps. would defragging really do anything for my game? is there an advantage to cleaning the hard disk?

the lot is just a small, square of a house i made on an empty lot with my sims living there. it was after i actually built the house, they're very nature oriented so they just lived outside.

i've encountered two other problems though, there's a flashing blue box on the corner of every lot, but it disappears in live mode when i put my cursor over it.
and my sim was digging a hole outside, and it's hard to explain, it there isn't any 'dirt' on the hole, just grass. so it looks like they're digging into grass, basically.
i'll try taking out the sunset mod, but i don't know why it's happening i've had that mod before without any problems.
the only thing i've done recently was reinstall nightlife because of missing textures, and i had to reinstall everything after seasons.

this happens on all lots, by the way.

do you think my seasons files could be corrupt?
i have a problem now because i've lost the disks for seasons and earlier expansions, except nightlife.
i do have all the disks that come after seasons and all stuff packs.
family fun stuff, i can't find though.
