Creating Pets, Weather, Exotic Locations, Hobbies, Magic Again and Again and...
WussGawd:
again.
The subject line says it all. I recently had a hard drive crash. After replacing the dead hard drive, I've done a clean install, reinstalling the EPs and SPs (I have all of them) in order, and patching the EPs and the 1 SP as I go
Running it off of Mansion and Garden Stuff, fully patched, in each of the neighborhoods, it takes like 5-6 minutes to load, and cycles each time with the Creating Pets, Creating Weather, Creating Exotic Locations, etc, as though it's the first time I've played the neighborhood. I can't get it to stop.
Now this wouldn't be a problem in itself, but it's also got a glitch where if I move a Sim off the lot (to go downtown, community lot, whatever), when the Sim returns to the lot, the clock resets at the 8 AM Monday. On an Apartment lot, it doesn't even recognize that my Sim has indeed actually chosen to rent one of the apartments.
I haven't reinstalled any custom content, and I'm running nothing in the way of hacks.
Has anybody else run into this? If so, do they have a solution that goes beyond "your install is hosed" This is the second time I've done a wipe/reinstall, and it's getting a bit tedious.
Thanks for the help.
Marhis:
I'm afraid your installation is borked; I can't think of any other possible explaination, sorry.

Do you have write permission to your documents folder? It sounds as though the game is not able to write/ save changes for some reason. This might happen if you do not have the correct permissions for the documents folder, or something is preventing writing- for example, a badly set firewall/ security program.

Hmm. How'd that happen. This would be the correct answer. Pretty Weird.

I had Lots reload to random prior saves when i was running Spyware Doctor. One of Spyware Doctor's features was doing it (for the life of me, i can't remember which feature, but that program was the culprit). It was most definitely interfering with TS2 saving info, it was also borking my new Spawn babies and Spawn transitions at save.
