You can maybe use this situation for a story, lol sorry I stop.

Have you try to play with the wife and to use the "restore family" option of the Insimenator ?

Friendlyquark, it's possible that you have an incompatible custom content who blocks the loading (such as a career or an hack). Try to scan your Downloads folder (with the Sims 2 Pack Clean Installer) and remove these files first.

I'm not sure but your system requirements are ok for the last EP (Free Time) ?
It seem like a graphic problem :roll: but in any case have you try to play without your custom content ?

Try to play without your downloads to be sure any custom content is not involved in this disappearance.

If there are dead Sims who are resurrected it's normal they have losted their memories and relationships. But the problem is that they died without anybody for their childs ?

Have you try to allow custom content, save, quit and load again the game ?

I don't know for the price but a wed research could help you.
For Vista try "Panneau de configuration" arf Configuration board (?) / System and maintenance / Windows welcome.

I not sure for the names but... voilà.

Some mods can be (sometimes) downloaded in houses without warn, so if you use the Sims 2 pack clean installer to install the houses it will be more safe too.

A good addition !!! Thank you !

A nice work again ! Thank you Simenroute ! :d

Nice boy ! Thanks Simenroute !

Yep I prefer a "coupe" in this nice style (more "guy" ). Thank you a lot Simenroute !

Yes allergic is different for peoples but in any case thank you for these interesting pictures !

Tibby13, use the Sims 2 Pack Clean Installer to search your hacks. They will be in red.

Ah I haven't see it. So a good fix !
