Game freezes at 5:59pm
Kukes:
Hmm... I don't think that premade houses are the problem, mainly because I've had Uni since it came out and while I've experienced many other bugs, I've never had this one. The only premade houses in my game are ones from the base game, and I used all of them in Pleasantview last September (before I got used to the new building tools). Thanks for telling me, though - I wasn't aware of this Uni house business. :)
Edit: Whoops, forgot this bit: ZephyrZodiac, I tried again with three different lots and (for whatever reason) I can no longer Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out of the game. It's now a rebootable issue. :( So if it's to do with CPU, I have no real way of finding out.
ZephyrZodiac:
Do you know anyone who is into PC specs who could take a look and give their opinion? I'm lucky in that respect, my friend's partner owns his own PC maintenance and building business, and he does all my upgrades for me now - since he doesn't charge me for his time, and I get the parts at cost, I know he isn't just trying to sell me an upgrade!
Maxis guidelines are useless in this, you look at the back of the Sims2 box and it says you can play it on windows 98 - I had trouble with XP until it was upgraded! There may be a few 98 systems around that are powerful enough, but not many!
You could still try the nonpcspam fix - it was beta when JM first uploaded it, but it's been around a little while now and loads of people have used it to good effect. If it doesn't work, or causes problems, remove it.
Kukes:
Well, my computer's pretty up-to-date - I don't really know any extremely technical computer people, I'm fine with the usual stuff (like software) but don't dabble much in the hardware. I think I'll try removing the downloads folder tomorrow as syberspunk suggested, and if it doesn't work I'll reset the computer. Hopefully that'll narrow it down (and maybe it'll work! *crosses fingers*). I'm just surprised it isn't happening in other neighbourhoods; Pleasantview is probably the largest but its only got 500 character files, most of my others are average 300-400 at the moment.
ZephyrZodiac:
500 should be okay, really. Have you run a check for unsolicited hacks in your downloads? for instance, from a downloaded lot?
LK:
I am just thinking out loud, so y'all can ignore me if you want: Doesn't it get dark in the game at 6:00? Perhaps your computer isn't able to handle the transition from day to night. Again, this may be totally off-base, and it probably is, but it's here anyway.
