Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
reese:
Edit: I'm a moron who somehow managed to delete her SunsetValley.objectCache file. I didn't even realize I'd gone into that folder, but hey. I guess I'll leave this up for anyone else who is a dumdum.
I've skimmed through this thread a few times and I haven't seen this yet, but forgive me if I've missed something.
I've been playing with no problems for quite some time, and today I installed a bunch of custom content using delphy's installer. Things were fine. Then, I tried to install Riverview, using the damned Launcher, and it just never installed. I wanted to check, even though I couldn't find the files anywhere on my computer, so I loaded the game up. Riverview is definitely -not- installed, but I got a nice gift - I have two games, and both of them look like this now:
My neighbourhood seems to be underneath its own terrain. Whether it's at a house or the map view. I'm also having problems with rendering furniture and sims (as in, they either just don't render or they take a long time to do so). I'm awfully confused, does anyone have any ideas?
T-man:
I obtained the pre-Razor version, installed, cracked, and loaded. It loaded fine, but I tried to go into CAS. Froze computer, needed reboot. Tried again. BOOM. Third time crashed on trying to load a pre-made. Is it a problem with my version, or computer?
Specs:
Windows XP
AMD Anthlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.2GHz
1GB ram
I am getting the Razor version now. Please let it be a pre-build error

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/bonus/t/analysis2.tmpl?registration_option_id=8077 go there, see if you can run it. Your specs seem too low to me, but I'm not interested enough to look into it more.

Here's a picture of the results. I ran System Labs before I obtained it. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3384/75055627.png

I not trying to brush you off, I'm just... tactless.
So what do you want? Your specs are fine, any game version is fine. Do you want the list of what the probablem might be? Drivers, check all your drivers. Anal retentive people like me will tell you to update your bios. Don't forget the chipset. Some components may have firmware you can update. Cautious people will tell you not to update your BIOS, since, hey, if that goes wrong your computer won't start at all. Of course, some updates can cause problems, so don't update unless you have a problem. You do have a problem, right? Have you spent a couple hours at WindowsUpdate recently? Shut off all those unneeded services. How's the CPU / GPU / XYZ temperature? Voltages? Some would tell you to defrag, and I would tell them to shove it. Scandisk actually fixes things though. ET CETERA, ET ALIA, and SOWAN.
You probably get my drift; I just wanted to reply to your rather insubstantial last post.
P.S. Try turning each graphic setting to minimum (at the main menu)
P.P.S And most of us would try reinstalling at least once before any hard work as I suggested above. After uninstalling, dont forget to manually delete the game directories (program files and my documents) for completeness's sake.
P.P.P.S. Just guessing at what you actually want to know. You asked about your game version, so I'll clarify: If you went and bought the retail version, I would fully expect that to crash on you too.
