Seasons failing to load.
J. M. Pescado:
It's probably Safedisc throwing a wobbly. That happens all the time.
ElenaRoan:
Are there any other solutions to this? Mine has suddenly decided to do the same thing and I've tried everything I can think of short of doing a complete reinstall. It started happening the next time I tried to play after I did a save on exit, which I don't usually do because I once lost an entire sub-neighbourhood after one (probably due to an unrelated glitch but it's habit now) but I was really tired and didn't want to wait for a save before falling into bed.
Ionopachys:
I have the same problem, except that the game does show up in Task Manager for a few minutes while the light on the CD/DVD drive flashes. When I removed the entire Documents/.../Sims2 folder, the game failed to recreate the various subfolders and files, except for the logs folder. There it generated twenty files, all of them 0 kb and empty of information. This has happened after a half dozen reinstalls, including one fresh install of the whole thing (base game and all EP's). My computer more than meets the minimum specs. I've updated everything that can be updated, and even downloaded that stupid Safedisk thing Maxis recommends. At this point the game cannot be played. As I said in my tech support request to maxis, if this can't be resolved, it looks like I'm done playing Sims.

ElenaRoan: Silly question, but have you deleted the groups.cache file?
Ionopachys: Have you tried loading the game with a mini image or .exe from gamecopyworld?

I'm afraid I have no idea what a mini image is, and I've never heard of gamecopyworld.
After looking up gamecopyworld, I will try that next. In case that fails, what is a mini image and how would I use it?
Thank you for your help. You're the first one to offer any new suggestions outside of EA's tech "support" FAQ.
