genlisaeNow that I don't have anti-psycotic medications trying to turn me into a mindless, drooling zombie (Still a tad annoyed by that) I have higher brain function and I want to play sims. So, I have this shiny new computer, that is having no issues with ANYTHING I want to do with it ... except TS2.
I have not added or removed anything from what was running perfectly on Mathew's computer. Just did a direct transfer over and now, every time I try to use certain buy catalog sections it crashes.
I have pulled all of the potential problem content and it runs fine, all tabs open, all good. I start putting the content back and it still runs fine, the catalogs open and it is all good. Until I put those last two or three files back in. Then it is back to crashing.
The real kicker is that it doesn't seem to matter what those last few files are. Like I can put all of the content I had previously pulled out, back in and take out something else entirely (like say a couple beds, when the bed portion of the catalog has never caused an issue) and it will still run perfectly, until I put those last few file back in.
Is there a limit to the number of files you can have in your dl folder which I have somehow managed to avoid running into before even though I have fewer file than I used to? Something I need to tweak to get the game to run on quad core instead of the dual core it has been running on? Do I need to do some sort of ritual where I sacrifice 3 pickles and a whole wheat bagel under a full moon or something?
Anyone?

Date: 2012-12-16 02:01 am (UTC)Though to be fair, ever since I hit 16 gigs I've been awaiting the moment where my game would just sit down and refuse to deal with me. The final size was 18.6 gigs before it branded me a terrorist and wouldn't let me play. I've got it down to 17 and I'm hunting down stray .txt and content that doesn't serve any purpose being in the downloads. What's silly is that I've kept my folders organized enough but it still needs a lot of work before its entirely organized.
All that said, I'd like to see what happens when you sacrifice 3 pickles and a whole wheat bagel under a full moon.

The sacrificing may happen yet, I am totally not ruling that out. lol
