AWESOMEMOD & SCRIPT HACKS: CRASH ISSUES THREAD
shivafang:
Okay I've discovered something really strange. And it's happened twice so I know I'm not imagining it.
Deleting the cache files is not enough. I also have to empty the recycle bin. Normally I empty the bin automatically, but sometimes I'm eager to play so I forget, and the game CTD's but when I empty the bin it works fine.
The bin shouldn't effect how a program operates, but it does. *shrugs*.
I would think it would do something like that with a full drive, but my drive is only half full (though I have remapped my documents to exist on the D: drive, if that makes a difference. My Sims is installed on drive F:)
EDIT: Or maybe not - becuase I also had to delete my AweConfig as mentioned in this thread. It's weird because it worked fine last night with the newest version and AweConfig, but now I have to delete it. Fortunatly the only thing I use from default was the slider range, and I only wanted it for one sim (wanted to give her a long wichlike nose) so I'm good without it as long as her children can inherit that trait without it.

Does the game always crash when you're on the second "ray" of the loading star? That's the "Random Crash". It seems to be fixed simply by randomly kicking the game and is not directly associated with AwesomeMod.
I should know by now to believe you.
I was SO SURE that it was the magic of deleting the caches that fixed things. However, last night I decided to trust you on this. The game crashed during load at that same old spot, but instead of deleting caches, I just tried starting again. Lo and behold, it loaded fine.
You are The Awesome. I should remember that.

Don't put anything in the recycle bin. Just delete it. REALLY delete it. I never use the recycle bin, what's the point? I actually don't even use the windows explorer, I prefer file manager. When it deletes, it actually deletes. End of story. Makes life easier.

On windows (up to XP, I don't know about Vista), deleting a file puts it in the recycle bin. Doesn't matter if you hit the 'delete' key or right click and selecting 'delete', it will go into the recycle bin. You then have to empty the recycle bin to really get rid of them and free up hard disk space.

Well, this sucks.
It appears I have to purge my ScriptCache EVERYTIME I want to start up the game. Or else it just CTD after the intro.
*Sigh*
Well, hope Pescado SIR ALMIGHTY will find an autonomous way for this.
Edit
Bullshit, it won't start at all now.
This is so random.
