Sims reverting to previous 'landmarks'

<< < (2/2)

rampancy:
It should be said that I know the debug cheats don't cause problems; I was just noticing it as a commonality between the two situations.

you probably won't see any problems for a little while, but in a few weeks or months (depending on how often you play, how lucky you are, and how many bad things you've unintentionally done to your game) you will see problems.


While I appreciate the warning - really, I do - but I've learned to take any predictions on errors in Sims 2 with a giant-ass brick of salt. I've played Sims 2 since it came out, and this is the first error I've encountered. I know this sounds really arrogant and whiny, and I'm damned sorry for it, but there's no completely tactful way of saying that I don't trust most of the doomsaying when it comes to Sims 2 errors.

Finally, you should check out the armory and the firing range and get at the very least the hacks that JM lists as critical or important. Some of these hacks will prevent damaging things from happening to your game (Vampire and Werewolf Fixes springs to mind). If you haven't already, make sure that you read the Guide to MATY stickied in the Podium.


I've lurked here for quite a long time; I'm aware of the hacks. I use a few of them, but most of them (for me) fix non-issues and/or things I don't want changed (I'm a bit more of a purist than most people here).

Besides, in any game that lets you change anything, the likelihood that something will go pear shaped becomes 1 when there's enough player-created modifications.

(I'll stop there, since this would inevitably get into a discussion about that, and I'm too damned tired to.)

snabul:
Yes, i have experienced this. In my case the sim was lost completely, stuck in between.....

When i had this problem shortly after installing BV, i took out my latest working backup.

To play it from that point on was less annoyng than trying to repair it.

cwykes:
The magic wand might help you get a lost sim back - that's what it's for apparently.

I was just wondering how you were doing for disk space?  I'm not particularly techie, but I think running low on disk space can mess up a save.  When I first installed BV, I had problems with a couple of saves - the game crashed mid-save and a couple of occupied lots disappeared.  I freed up disk space and it hasn't happened again, though that could be co-incidence of course!
