Sim won't stop skipping

<< < (2/6) > >>

Marhis:
There's something wrong with your downloads, I guess. You need to test if the problem persists with no Download folder in place, and then, if problem goes away, do a binary search to find the culprit.

Actually, since adding the new games I hadn't added anything to my downloads folder so the only elements that were added were what the new games added. Previously  to adding them the sim performed with no problems. Aalso, this is the only sim who has this problem.

What exactly do you mean by "do a binary search"?

Thanks for the reply.

I wasn't worrying about new stuff addeded, but about old stuff you already have in your DL folder, and how it works with new expansion packs. Before doing any speculation, you need to test the game without the Downloads folder, and see if that skipping still occurs. If it doesn't, then you'll be sure that there's something in your Downloads folder that clashes with new EPs, like an outdated hack or something like that.

Re: binary search. You'll find the instructions in the FAQs, here.

Roberte, it's what we call the 50% method on MTS2. We've directed you to it many times. :)

jolrei:
If you added an EP (like FT) and did not replace your hacks, you are likely oldversioned.  Take out your downloads/hacks and test.  If the problem goes away then it was a hack problem.

In any case, you should delete all your hacks and replace with the appropriate versions.
