This is not good..

Soja:
I am having some weirdness in my game since installing pets. The wants icons for the different workbenches aren't showing pictures of the objects and my sims also get the want: Buy unnamed wantable object blablabla. I've included pictures.





So.. What should I do?

Motoki:
Looks possibly like a corrupt objects.package file to me. Have you tried copying over the one from CD and overwriting the objects.package in the Pets subdirectories of Program files? I'm at work and forget the exact path but someone else should have it.

The objects.package there should have the same time and date stamp and file size as the one on the CD or DVD. If it doesn't then something's wrong.

The problem may be something entirely different but it does look really similar to what happens when the objects.package file gets corrupted.

Charamei:
I've been getting this as well, also with the crafting benches from OFB. I had Buy Unnamed Wantable Object once; on rebooting the game, it changed to the Robotics Bench.

My guess is that it's a MaxEAian error.

@Motoki: Unless Pets is shipping with a corrupt package (which wouldn't surprise me), it seems unlikely that emelien and myself would have the exact same corruption. I'll try that, but is there another possibility?

Motoki:
Not really. That file tends to get corrupted easily. It's not supposed to ever change but some things like the remote control car toy or Miss Crumplebottom have saved changes to it in the past.

It's not the one on the CD I think that's corrupted it's the one on your hard drives.

jrd:
Best practice is to get it out of compressed.zip and mark it readonly.
