Patch 1.8/2.3 plus Create a World Released
I.Am.She:
I uninstalled WA, the base game runs fine. surprise surprise.
So I chanced it, and re-installed WA, patched up because it told me I had to, but a new bug... Now the MAIN loading screen wont even budge, not even a percentage will budge...
I'm so close to giving up on this game.

Well... Ive just replaced the cracked exe with the original, installed AM and started up again... Still crashing to desktop. I hoped this would sort it too :( I'm going to try one last time to do an uninstall and re-install it...
This is a fucking pain in the arse.
Did you remember to use the uncracked TSLHost.dll too?
Yup. Looks like WA will remain uninstalled untill I can figure something out.
Thanks for your help though :)
EDIT - Panic over... it now fucking works!! I uninstalled WA, ran the base game, fine, re-installed WA, put the framework files into both folders, except the cfg file, ran it again and wallah... we have an updated, working game with the expansion pack installed...
Now after all that hassle, I dont even want to play the pissing game. Im sick of the sight of it... ARGH

The Mods>Files folder shouldn't be there and likewise the resource.cfg. I believe Pescado has changed the download of the framework now, although I'm not certain.
I'll download whatever framework is now posted and check it but I take it you are saying that the files folder should just be deleted, correct?
Since you copied the entire contents of your DCCache folder, did you have a .ebc file in there that you went ahead and included? In addition to the .ebc in my DCCache folder there is also a .idx file. Did you have that in your DCCache and copy it as well?
Yes, I have dcdb0.dbc; dcdb0.ebc; dcdb1.dbc and missingdeps.idx and I copied all of them into the new file in Mods>Packages. I didn't delete them from their original locations. Also, in regard to the Mods>Files folder - yes, I think we had determined before this patch that this file was not needed and could be deleted.
I did download the framework now on the site. It still contains a Mods>Files Folder within which are 2 files, another Resource.cfg and a DDFMap.txt file. Hence, I am reluctant to delete the Files folder because I don't know how important that DDFMap file is. For the time being, I've decided to leave it alone until that is clarified for me. Also, as an experiment since I don't doubt your advice because it has been rock solid, I still have copied only the .dbc files to the Mods>Packages folder and all cc Ive checked specifically for is showing up. I am wondering if the .ebc file contains cc installed by the launcher but is not EA content, i.e. from TSR. I did have a few patterns installed from them this way and they did show up after updating.
BTW, in addition to the files you list as having in DCCache, I also have a dcdb2.dbc file. Hmmm, wonder why the difference.
DigiGekko:
Has anyone gotten an overstuffed house to work yet with the new patch? My main neighborhood loads fine, but my more story-based one with an overstuffed house as the active family causes the load bar to stop about 1/5 the way through. Since they're still active, I can't get in the hood at all at the moment to see if this is the problem.
I know EA mentioned some stuff about having over 8 sims living in one lot and crap, so whatever change they made probably borked the current version of AM (although the test version does otherwise work).
Just looking for a confirmation from anyone who has an overstuffed household.
