Update:

Last night I spent a few hours doing as you suggested, putting in some CC start up, see if it works, rinse, repeat... and so far I have a batch of CC (about 250 items) where the error file lies. The other batch that works fine is the majority of my CC and so today I will go through the error batch and narrow it down EVEN more! Thanks so much for the tip. I think I'm doing to take a very long break from downloading anything after this fiasco! lol

Random question: When you delete a piece of CC from WITHIN the game, does it actually delete the file from my hard drive? I want to go through all my custom clothing, and hope the game actually deletes all the files, not just disables them, so my game does load a bit faster. Do you know?

Okay I understand. Thanks a mllion! I will be doing the add and removal tonight I guess then, hopefully the tool can help me in the process.

Thanks so much for the input. I can see why that would take a whole day almost. Were u receiving errors with your game too, and that's why you cleaned yours out? If so, what did you have to remove? Also, where can I find the tool? Its just something to go in the downloads folder, right?

Oh, global error doesn't sound good... So how did u clean up your download folder? Does this "see them" mark specific files which may be causing errors, and then u just delete them?

Sorry for the questions, I've just been a lucky one not to have any major Sims 2 errors - till now.

Hello all,

So I just got Apartment Life for my birthday, while it installed fine, it is giving me an loading issue:

My custom content seems to be loading fine when it comes to empty houses, I can load lots with furnished houses no problem, including homes with custom content.

However, whenever I try to load up ANY family, even Maxis families which contain no custom content, the game will  just load endlessly. I finally have to CTRL + ALT + DEL out of the game.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Why would a family cause the game to never load? Please, any help would be appreciated.

I too also have MTS2 freeze on my Mozilla Firefox browser, but it runs just fine on Internet Explorer. Maybe you can try another browser?

HI all, so recently I've been having one small dog pet who is constantly sinking into the floor... It's very annoying! I have my game patched up, so I don't know why it is doing this? Anybody know of a way to unsink the pets from the floor?

Wow, she looks great!! The other characters in the pics look just as wonderful, and remind me of WoW characters. =P

These are really great, I wish there were more versions of it!

Okay, will do!

Oh lordy, so stuff like this has been going all over the place...?? o_0

So is there an unlock file to get back those kimonos and saris? Like a generic unlocking file?

Well, I removed all my custom content from the Downloads folder, booted up the game - and the kimono is still not there! I booted up the game on my sister's laptop and she still has the content (after also having installed everything) and I also realized the outfits next to the kimonos (the Indian saris) were also missing. Could the installation of Kitchen & Bath stuff, or Open for Business somehow screwed up (surprise, surprise) and deleted those outfits...?

UPDATE:

Okay, so I finally managed to get Kitchen & Bath stuff AND Open For Business installed by just biting the bullet and reinstalling all my games last night in order of release. Everything installed fine it would seem, EXCEPT now I went to play with a Sim I made that was wearing the Maxis kimono that is black with pink cherry blossom petals, only the outfit is MISSING from the game!  

When I loaded her up she was wearing something else and when I checked her clothes closet it wasn't there, nor was it in clothing racks or in the Create-A-Sim clothing library!

Anybody ever heard of a Maxis outfit going missing from the game??

Hi everyone, so I have a problem. Ive been enjoying my Sims and all the lovely custom content for months for now without a problem, but today my sister saw the Kitchen and Bath stuff pack in a store today and bought it because she thought it would be cool.

So we tried installing it, and whenever the installation gets to 99% and checks to see it all installed properly I keep getting "The Sims 2 is not installed or is improperly installed on your machine. Please install or reinstall The Sims 2."

I don't know what's wrong, the game is obviously installed correctly on my system!! Help please.

Very spiffy!!
