No offence at all...actually I was just about to try Google and find out how to do that but if you don't mind posting it here that would be great. (I'm ok tinkering with neighbourhoods in SimPE, but when it comes to objects I'm hopeless). And boy were there a lot of conflicts! It's going to be a long day

Hey thanks for the tips jaccirocker. I'd better find something to do for the next few hours while I wait for simpe to scan my folders My dl folder is about the same size as yours (1gb cc, 4 gb bodyshop). I've never stored anything in the saved sims folder except what I make. Maybe I should try migrating some stuff over there. Thanks again.

Thanks theraven. I'll double check that my camera settings were restored correctly and see if that helps. Btw this is just a pc, I gave up on laptops (way too expensive to repair/upgrade).

Thanks for your reply theraven. I did have a camera hack but removing it made no difference. The problems started the day I got this pc. The same setup worked perfectly on my rickity old laptop that died. But since replacement laptop mobos require a second mortgage  I got this instead. I know it's not the greatest computer, but I did my research and found a lot of people using the same setup as this with none of these problems. That is why I was wondering if it's possibly a hardware problem, since the pc blue screened on another game and whenever I tried to lower the anti-aliasing in the ati ccc. I posted the pics incase they gave some clues about what the main problem might be, but really the graphical glitches aren't that annoying, it's the blue screens that worry me.

I tried running the game with no hacks, cc or anything twice and it ran ok for the 30 mins test runs I did. But that's probably not very conclusive because the time it takes to blue screen is usually 5-10mins but can take up to 3+ hours.  There been a few times where I thought I had isolated the problem and played a lot for over 2 hours until it bsod'd, then I would reload the game and go back into the exact same lot without changing anything and it would blue screen in 5 minutes *sigh*. It's frustrating that there is absolutely no pattern to this. Also during all the notes in my zip file up there I did not have FT installed. I only put that in about 6 weeks ago and again it made no difference.

Sorry I'm rambling

I've never made a help post before so I hope this is in the right section.
For over 4 months my game has been virtually unplayable due to constant BSOD's. I have been putting off making a post about this in the hopes that I could get it sorted, but I really don't know what else to try. I've tried so many different things to fix it that it's hard to know where to start, but I will try and keep this short.

System:
XP, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+, 1gb ram, Radeon HD2600PRO
All ep's and sp's up to BV when the problems started. Now have FT and KB also.

I have tried:
-Updating every known driver, codec, program, everything in my pc.
-Shutting down the firewall, anti virus and any other programs running in the background.
-Reading every page about bsod's here, and at MTS2, MATY, and countless other sites.


I also tried the 50/50 method of trying to pinpoint a faulty download, but no matter how I divide my dl's it's still borked. It seems like any downloads makes it angry. The last time it shut down all I had in the game was 2 new sims in a new empty neighbourhood, on a small empty lot with only 2 walls. In the dl folder was the hair, clothes, genetics of the 2 sims, Insim obj edition and a few MATY hacks. I removed these files and put some other dl's back but it still crashed.

The game is throwing so many errors at me, and I have tried so many different fixes, so attatched is a text file with the detailed (rambling) notes I have been keeping of everything that has been happening (and the dxdiag text). Also attatched is a zip with some screenshots of some of the funky errors that are hard to put into words

If anyone has any clues about how I could fix this...or just let me know if it's a game prob or a hardware issue...I would be grateful to say the least

Thanks everyone
I never really expected such a response for him lol, but I'm happy that I could make something that so many people are enjoying

Wow she is so striking. Gorgeous, thank you

Awesome

Esther & Rosalind are just wonderful! You always make the most dreamy, intriguing females

Very niiice

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you

Love them! Without your dark lips my sims would be trapped in an ultra glossy pink hell

lol maybe I should have just uploaded the clean version. Oh well, it's good to take in & care for a stray now & then
Llama, I honestly never thought I'd see anyone refer to him as 'lovely'
I promise my next upload will be prettier, cleaner & free from any (visible) injuries.

The Sim…
Well folks, he ain’t too pretty…but a neighbourhood full of pretty sims is boring

This is Whoompa. He’s had a really bad day & need a little loving. He’s quite nice, a bit awkward with women, has a few minor psychological issues, is prone to self mutilation, and socially he could use a bit of help. But apart from that he’s a really fantastic guy!



He comes with everything shown in the main pic, except for the hair mesh and the nosebleed (you’ll have to give him that yourself ).

The other pics below are what he will look like after a little TLC (ie no custom content ‘cept for skin, hair & eyes).




The Rest…
He’s based on the song ‘Whoompa’ by Sex Without Souls (well, my vision of him). If anyone wants to hear the song it’s on this page http://www.myspace.com/sexwithoutsouls (I love a song with a happy ending ). I really wanted to sim a dual of Brendan Bane, but since I lost all his old abpeg self posts when my hd crashed,  & tracking them down had been virtually impossible, I made this chap instead.
