CAS Leprosy: WTF is this? (With illustration!)
Count Four:
Edit: removed CC before I did these checks.
Well, damn.
I didn't have to add a blotchy sim to the neighborhood; on further examination, it's already on in-game sims. (I had been playing for awhile last night, decided to create a new sim and found the blotch in CAS. I decided to worry about it in the morning, closed the game and went to bed. If this started when I went to CAS, that's how I didn't see it in game, I suppose.)
The effect is odd in BodyShop. It turns up on randomly generated sims, but only on some sims cloned out of the bin. Also weird--one of the skins in the BodyShop bin appears in her thumbnail with a blue face from the base of the neck up--but when I selected her, her full body shot on the right appeared with normal face/skin tone and no blotch at all.
Corrupted game files is making sense. So I guess I'm looking at a re-install now?
If I do re-install, will it be safe to use my saved games files again or should I kiss 'em good-bye?
Sleepycat:
your saved game files should be fine (make sure you save them somewhere else before uninstalling), it does appear to be a corrupt game file.
strange that my objects.package has never gotten corrupted and it isn't set to read only *knocks on wood* I think it depends on how much and/or the type of custom content you use. most of my downloads are just recolors of maxis stuff.
Sagana:
I also <knocks wood along with you> haven't had any corruption of the objects.package and haven't touched it since installing so I guess it isn't 'read only'. I've been fairly lucky lately and haven't reinstalled since NL, so it's lived through OFB, Pets and Seasons all ok. I have lots of custom content of all kinds though. Meshes and stuff. Different folders for different neighborhoods and I'm alla time deleting and moving stuff around and changing my mind and occasionally deleting the whole thing and starting over.
Count Four:
My first re-install. *sigh*
Would it have to be the CC that leads to corruption or just some weird weakness of the game files? Just curious. I have very little CC because I'm impatient with downloading times on dial up. What CC I have is mostly objects, plus inSIM and a few Awesome hacks. I don't have much CC genetics.
Sagana:
Note From the Much Lesser Awesome: Mightn't it be possible just to replace the objects.package rather than completely reinstall? Seems like that might be a first try anyway?
<lesser awesome people don't know the answers to the question asked>
