REQ. More babies after eight Sims
Sandilou:
Lazy typist me; My Programs is actually All Programs found from the Start button at the bottom left (usually) of your pc. From there you can access EA's programs from TS2. If you uninstall from that route it doesn't remove everything. To do a proper uninstall ie a manual uninstall, you also have to go into START/edreg/RUN and delete a string of numbers. EA's technical help board on the TS2 website contains all the details.
I'm not a techie, so talking to me about SIMPE is like talking to a bowl of spaghetti. Even so, I did learn new things from that population explosion thread. The first being not to get too attached to my game, because I'd be damned if I'm going to spend my time going through character files and memory tokens to delete them. I just want fun, not tedium. If the game becomes a chore, then it's not a game anymore. So why play it?
As to starting all over again, well it's only a game, and unlike real life, you can go back in time to when the Maxis Sims were just starting out and make it better than it ever was.

Well, we all have our likes and dislikes, I guess. I quite like tinkering about for a while when I have to close my game anyway. It's got so that I start running short of RAM when I've been playing for a while, and I have to close and reboot. Also if I want my new downloads in the game!

My computer usually fix the game for me... :o
Its also known as Format c:\
For some reason my comp seems to like a clean install of winsows every 1 month or so, which means that I have to reinstall sims quite often. Im getting quite good at doing backups hehe
ZephyrZodiac:
Sounds like you have a lot of unnecessary stuff lurking in caches etc. Mine's been going about 12 months since it was rebuilt, and I've never had to reinstall Windows. However, I do use WindowWasher to clean up the PC.
cyperangel:
Actually, it is a faulty gfx driver, that my windows dont like. Either that, or my gfx card.
If my computer crashes for whatever reason, I get difficulties rebooting it, and after a week or so, those have scalated to a point where I need to reinstall windows to fix the problem.
Sadly my monetary situation at the moment dont allow me to buy a new gfx card, and the driver ignores all attemtps at fixing it, so I am kind of stuck doing the reinstall routine. Which I am getting pretty good at :P
Man I wish i could Motherlode myself sometimes....
