BFBVFS, Part 2
croiduire:
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled last night. The houses I put into the Lot Catalog folder show up and look fine in the thumbnail, but won't load in game when placed on a lot. Far more unsettling, something is overwriting the GUIDs on most of the original Maxi artwork. This can't be good. They are unselectable--they just don't appear in the catalog when clicked on--although all the works based on each painting show up fine. I'm also seeing some color errors (the dread blue) that weren't there a few days ago. Clean Installer and the hack detector don't show anything untoward. Help? Any way to avert disaster this time?

Did you reinstall (not just copy and paste) your CEP (color enabler) file? I forgot to do that, and left a fantasticly (sp?) embarrasing thread about recolors eating objects.
croiduire:
Brilliant! Raises the de rigeur pint of Guinness and buys a round for ElfPuddle. That does indeed appear to be the problem with the vanishing originals.
Now, any idea how I can reclaim my houses?
Thanks so much!
cwykes:
can you just put houses in the lotcatalog without installing them first? Maybe they aren't properly in the game if you just do that.?
And what is in lotcatalog anyway apart from lots? - I have loads of 1kb character files in mine. Is this another thing that needs cleaning up periodically?
croiduire:
How would I do that? They are already in the Lot Catalog. They show up just fine (apparently) when I browse through it in game. Clean Installer doesn't flag any problems. They are in package format. They are selectable. However, when I take one out and try to place it on a lot, the game freezes and eventually crashes.
