Crashing Community Lot - CORRECTION: More to the problem than I thought
rome_raven:
First off, I have all the EP and SP (just installed IKEA SP before this occured)
In this neighbourhood I'm building, I placed a shrunken residential lot (2x1), converted it to a community lot and built a little bar on it. I saved and exited the lot, renamed it, placed in my neighbourhood lot bin. When I went back into my lot bin again, to place the little bar, my game crashed. Unsure as to the reason, I went back into my game and in the neighbourhood, the lot was where I had placed it before crashing. So I pretty much gave it up to a one time glitch. I went back into my lot bin, and placed another one of these little bars, which I had planned on converting to a different place. The game crashed again. I restarted and when I went back in, the lot was where I had placed it. So I thought I had figured out the problem (or at least be prepared to restart the game when I place that lot)
This time now, I decided to load a house with a playable character (Sullivan) I had from before I even started on this crashing lot problem. The game crashed. I'm completely unsure as to what's wrong now. I don't have a an error log with me now, but I can post one later if it's required Added error logs. Could it be specifically that lot that's causing the problem? I've played other shrunken lots in my game and they have worked fine.
I tried the neighbourhood again, deleted the 2 community lots I had that crashed when I placed them, and then tried to go into the Sullivan lot again. Game crashed when loading (at the 4 bar mark). I went back into the game and tried again, this time with a different house, the Linus lot, and it crashed at the same point.
The last hack I had added to the game was the dolphin "Control this Sim", and Lord Darcy's IKEA fixes.

Weirdly sized lots risk potential grief. Period.

I have just recently tried moving all the sims that i had on any kind of shrunken lot and tried to place them on the Maxis porvided 2x2 lots...crashed the game again. Is it even possible to save this neighbourhood anymore?
EDITED TO ADD:
I started a whole new game, with no hacks, just a few pieces of clothing and default replacements for skins and such. Got into the game fine. Tried to get into a random house in Riverblossom, and the game crashed. Bodyshop also will not open, it will just leave me a bunch of thingies in my Sims 2 folder.
So I'm going under the assumption that some important background file may have gotten deleted and since I don't know what it is, and I'll have to reinstall everything. However, I don't currently have on of my expansion packs. Would I be able to keep my folder that is already on my C:\ drive and just put it back in after the reinstall and still have all the info from that expansion pack?
J. M. Pescado:
Sounds like you have some bad CC in the game. Some CC is so bad that your game will keep crashing even when (or especially if!) you remove it.
rome_raven:
Considering there's no CC except for clothes and default skintones and face templates, is there anything that can be done to fix the game or is it a complete re-install?
