My bad. Great work, by the way! I was really getting sick of the 50-or-so characters files dumped on my hood whenever I wanted to play a university.

Is anyone else getting an 'invalid attachment' message upon downloading the file?

Rofl, I feel completely stupid. I even mentioned using the BGS in one of my earlier posts...another sign of retardation.

It's fixed, though. I installed Nightlife and played everything smoothly. The uni game seems to be the only problem.

I would if I knew what it was.

...Yeah. Excuse my utter stupidity.

I've already tried everything I could think of, so this seems like a plausible theory. I'm using an extremely old copy of Uni (Bought it when it was released), and I haven't installed any of my other EPs yet 'cause I wanted to "re-live" the whole University experience. I downloaded the basegame starter and ran my original Sims 2, and things went fine. Now I'm wondering if it's just a uni thing, and things will start working if I install Nightlife.
 
:lol: ...Wow. You know I'm getting desperate when I think installing more EPs will make the game run faster.
 
I created a whole new neighbourhood with no families, no lots, and no scenery. Besides, this "lag error" was extremely sudden. It wasn't a gradual lag (where it gets laggier every time I run the game). I was able to play this yesterday with no issues, but now it slows to a crawl.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. In the meantime, I noticed that if you go straight to University from the main menu, it becomes marginally less laggy. But if you enter the neighbourhood, the whole game crawls like a snail.

ETA: Nope, no conflicting hacks. This is driving me insane.

Ran the error check. Still laggy as hell.

Do I need a graphic card update or something? It shouldn't be the case, since everything was fine when I used my current one...

I doubt it. I have less than 400 files of CC, most of which are hacks/mods. Also, my game ran fine before.



I ran cleanup and defrag before (to no avail), but the error check utility? Where's that?

Okay, this has never happened before. I used to be able to run the Sims 2 + all EPs on high graphic settings with barely any lag, but when I opened the game today, it was extremely choppy; the neighbourhood camera crawled like a snail, and I couldn't even enter the boolprop cheat without waiting a few seconds for each letter to load.

I have no clue what caused this, since nothing unusual happened to my computer. I tried lowering the graphic settings, but it made absolutely no difference. I turned off shaders (boolprop useshaders false) - no difference. I ran disk defrag and cleanup, closed background tasks, ran -w and -nosound mode but the game was still laggy like hell.

I ran dxdiag to check on my settings, and everything was the same as before. In a desperate last attempt, I deleted all the custom content I installed in the past 48 hours; still made no difference.

I'm just...stumped. :| I've got no idea why this happened, or how to fix it. Any help?

Ah, I was looking for this. Thanks a billion.

Snatched Fall and Rush. Beautiful work! :clap:

You need to overspray your garden with pesticide.

I don't think it works, though, because I tried to get my Sim to overspray her garden and billion times; and STILL no plant-sim.

ROFL!

I've had the penguin visit. When my toddler petted it, it was fine, but when one of my grandmas tried to pet it, the penguin pissed on her.

Wait, how did you get a penguin to visit?
