Game crashed and now lot wont load properly

(1/3) > >>

Rascal:
I was playing my Legacy Family when the game crashed (because my husband was trying to run Media Centre off the same computer from the other room - too much for the poor thing!). Now when I try to go back into my Legacy family's lot it will sort of load, but everyone (everysim?) is stuck in a kind of jerky slow motion. I don't mean its just running slow - its completely unplayable. Even the sound comes in little jerks. Is there anyway I can fix this or do I have to start the family again from scratch? Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
     

Myth:
Have you tried turning off your background tasks and telling your hubby to back off prior to running your game?  The Sims uses a lot of resources and if your computer is trying to split them with another program much less a media one the game is going to lag.

Rascal:
We don't normally try to run the two programmes at the same time - it was unintentional. 
The problem is now the lot is not working correctly even though Sims2 is the only thing running.  It is only this lot affected and I am assuming it is because I was playing this lot when the game crashed. 
I want to know if the lot is now hopelessly corrupted or if I can fix it. 
I have shut down and restarted the game several times and it has not made any difference.

Normally I would just move the family out and put them in a different house, but this is the fourth generation of my Legacy family and I really don't want to do that.

witch:
Oh mate! Any recent backups?

I've taken to backing up before I play the game - every time! Been caught out too often with unforseen errors.

Rascal:
Thanks for the sympathy witch - I last backed up about 2 weeks ago - duh!  I think I'll sulk about it for a day or two then move them out and give up the career rewards and my ghosts.  Hopefully they family themselves are ok.
