Sims2 Hates me!

It's doing it again! :smt120

I was playing yesterday and I got an error saying "Sims2 Pets has Crashed!" (or something like that)

So, I went to restart my game and it gave me another error message saying: "Pets2 needs files from the Sims2.  In order to play the expansion pack, please install Sims2."

.........?

I never deleted anything!!! GRRRR!

Any suggestions?

blurg - just a base guess - you have registry corruption in the Windows Registry -- OR -- you ran out of resources because of something.  Running the game for extended periods of time seems to cause this for some users.  The problem is that when Windows runs out of resources, bad things generally happen.  Not knowing what your current system specifications are, I can only guess.

If you re-install the base game, make sure you first back up your downloads and neighbourhoods by moving them to a different locations such as the desktop.  I hope simply re-installing the Base Game will resolve the problem.

Thank you.  I did have the game running for a couple of days. >blush<

It's just easier to shrink it, then to restart all the time.

I'll try this!

Thank you, it worked!

But I trusted Sim Clean Installer and it highlighted alot of stuff pink, so I deleted it and now half my clothes are gone. >pout<

Yeah - Sims2Pack Clean Installer does seem to give a lot of "false positives" these days.

What I do is sort by the MD5 checksum and carefully inspect each item by name (the mouse-over info) - image - and description before I delete anything.
