So I recently loaded the Mansion Stuff pack, did my reboots to allow custom content to show and things were honkey dory.  Noticed it was running a little slow so I deleted the .cache files from a previous suggestion in the forum.  Done this before and the game loaded with no problems.  This time I did that and the .packages that seem to generate with it, didn't think much of it.  Click on my neighborhood and it loads though when I click on my family it will go to the loading screen and sit there.  The little hourglass icon keeps going and going....  Left it there one time out of curiosity up to 20 minutes and the game won't generate the family. 

What do I do?  Uninstall and reinstall everything?  I am so frustrated and I want to play.

Please any help would be fantastic.

Specs: running Windows 7, every expansion except Apartment life and H&M stuff

I just bought BV and I haven't installed it yet.  Now after reading some of the threads I am wondering if I should take it back and get the IKEA stuff pack instead.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

So I have just installed Free Time and now my game is freaking out.  The first time I played it I didn't allow the CC to show and it was working fine.  Then the second time I booted it up I allowed the CC to show because I can't live with out my Insimenator.  But when I went to play my "test" sim she couldn't sit down to eat, or play on her computer or pretty much anything that involves gaining skills.  

I took out Insim but that didn't help any and I took out some other questionable hacks/objects that I had.  Still I am having no luck.  I feel like a idiot for not backing up my game before I installed Free Time.  Is anyone having this issue as well?

Thanks,
Tina
