Corrupted hood - can it be fixed?
Madame Mim:
I recently had a crash on startup (which I didn't report in the Awesome mod thread because I hadn't changed my awesome mod version) and the next time I loaded up my game my Riverview looks like I'm running the first corrupted version install of it. I'm getting the funny lot names (although my Sim names seem to be fine) and the hospital seems to have dissapeared.
Does anyone know if there's a way to fix this hood or do I throw it out the window and start again - oh, hood is one that has had all npc's, sims, etc killed before I started playing but is otherwise set up with default settings.
rosess:
Have you tried restoring from the .bak file?
Ashkitty:
-If your save game is corrupt, go to Documents\Electronic Arts\TS3\Saves, find your save.
-There should be two files, "save.sims3" and "save.sims3.backup"
-Move, rename or delete "save.sims3" I personally rename mine to "saveORIGINAL.sims3" but that's an old habit.
-Rename "save.sims3.backup" to "save.sims3" - ie, just remove the .backup extension.
-Load your game, and try to load the previous save. Crossing your fingers helps.
Tis all I know to do, but it's better than starting over. Can say it has worked for me, and I wasn't able to load up my game at all after a bad crash.
Madame Mim:
Thankyou. I will give that a go. It'll take me several Sim days play back, but (like you said) that's much better than loosing the whole hood. I will report back.
edit - interesting. Backup was corrupted too so I went to ditch the hood and start afresh - my Riverview is corrupted. It is once again showing the number soup description rather than the proper blurb. I will un/re-install Riverview and report back.
edit edit - reinstalling has made Riverview 'normal' once more, but I've deleted the hood that started all these questions just in case.
J. M. Pescado:
I don't think anything was actually wrong with your save files, but that you deleted some critical file that was part of Riverview's datafiles, and you need to reinstall your crap.
