anyone know anything about runtime errors?

Make sure you go through your downloads folder with the HackScanner from DJSims.
Custom careers have a tendency to mess things up...
Thanks, but I don't have any custom careers, and I don't download any sims or lots where custom careers can sneak in.

Not to mention the alien computer!!
I didn't bother downloading that, either. It came out pretty quickly after the game did, and I tend to be conservative about downloads until I know exactly what's normal gamplay and what's not (i.e. a bug). Then I heard a lot of bad things about the alienware computer and pointedly stayed away from it.

AFAIK there is no way to recover a corrupted lot. I've not read of anyone doing this & I've had to write a few off, I've tried with a newly installed game and importing lots as well as copying over the whole n'hood folder to a new install. Nothing I can think of has worked for me. :(
:-\ that's what I thought. I had visions of portraits of all ten heirs as YAs in this one dorm. Oh well. Just that I would ask. Thanks, everybody.
ZephyrZodiac:
What a shame! It's really sad when you've been trying to achieve something in your game, and something like that prevents you from completing it!
RainbowTigress:
JM told me that if I had a recent backup, I could replace the lot file for that one lot with the one from backup, and while any changes in the lot would be lost, the sims' memories, relationships, skill gains, etc, would be intact. I tried this since then, and it really did work. The important thing is to have a recent backup of your Neighborhoods folder. Because of all the bugs I have encountered in this game, I have taken to making a copy of my Neighborhoods folder on a separate hard drive every night and keeping about 2 backups in addition to my current game. Before then, the only solution was to evict and bulldoze. And the sheep on the BBS have the nerve to say there are no bugs in TS2! All I can say is that if you have not found any bugs in your game, you have not played it.

Um, backup?...heh heh :-\ I think I backed up in July... lesson learned.
RainbowTigress:
Sorry. :( I know that is the hardest way to learn. The times I didn't feel like backing up were the times I needed it.
