REQ. More babies after eight Sims
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I don't think it's right that the stand-alone patch should cost money, when what it's doing is putting right their errors!

Babies vanished everywhere, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I had to do a manual uninstall and start all over again. I had played all 3 neighbourhoods from Sept to March, every household in turn. The storylines were all interwoven; it was like running 3 soap operas at once. Plus I had my legacy neighbourhood and a small Eden neighbourhood. The only plumes of smoke visible were coming out of my ears as I tried to find answers that could first explain what was wrong and secondly save my game.
Did this occur in all your neighborhoods at the same time? Or just in the ones who had reached population maximum? And what is that maximum? How many character files did you have in each of the neighborhoods? Were there any other effects besides disappearing babies?
Sandilou:
See the big thread on Population Explosion here for the answers to alot of your questions.
Babies vanished in my legacy neighbourhood, so I tested it in Pleasantview and the same happened. I had approx 350 playable character files, but I had loads of NPCs and townies on top of that. I had also had problems due to using the electric toy car (blank icons/career bug) but I had fixed that by replacing the objects package.
Even when you click uninstall in your My Programs section, that won't remove the character files. That's why I ended up doing EA's favourite cureall - the Manual Uninstall. I reloaded my games and installed JM's fixes and I haven't had any problems since. I did not try to reuse my old game, because that would simply have brought all the problems back with it.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, there always comes a time when you are bored with a neighbourhood and are ready to start another (even if it's still Pleasantview, you can play it differently)!

I've read the Population Explosion thread but have gotten very little info from it. Appears that problems can occur anywhere from 500 character files up with 2000 being maximum mentioned. Seems like the solution to that is to prune the character files now and then.
I have only done uninstall once. Don't remember what method I used. What is the My Programs section? And what is a manual uninstall?
