What is causing my lots to corrupt?
baratron:
Here is a stupid question for you. Are you running any other programs at the same time as TS2?
It's just that i'm thinking if the problem is that TS2 is running out of memory while trying to package the lot, then the problem might be solvable by making sure you aren't running other programs at the same time. I know on my own PC (a fairly-good Vaio, supposedly 4x over the recommended spec for base TS2 and 2x over it for TS2+U) that running a web browser and TS2 together causes visible lag in community and dorm lots. If this happens on a "good" PC, it could be fatal on a "bad" one. Also it's known that many antivirus programs are terrible memory hogs - the stuff that comes with the game even suggests you may need to turn them off while playing.
Myrddin:
Nope, I have to shut everything down in order to even open the game (yes, it is that craptastic!). Thanks for the thought though.
To update, I ended up rebuilding the lot; a 99% accurate replica. I can only say 99% as I added one extra light and four extra shrubs. And...it uploaded perfectly. So I'm stumped. It did go a lot faster the second time of course lol!
Just for reference, it is about 1.79 Mb so it wasn't the size of the lot. I used the same terrain I used before as well.
I will just have to chalk it up to a hit and run on the part of my game I guess.
Thanks for your time though folks! ;)
Motoki:
Wait, are you saying you uploaded a lot that's 179 MB? If so you really need to clean that thing out or anyone who downloads it is going to get A LOT of stuff they didn't ask for, probably half your downloads folder. Also I know it's EA's bandwidth, but that's still a horrendous waste of bandwidth and rather discouraging for anyone on dial up to download.
Get Sims2pack Clean Installer and uncheck anything but the lot itself and any custom content the lot actually uses that you may want to include and then resave it. I guarantee the file size will be MUCH smaller.
Myrddin:
Whoa, settle down lol! It was just a typo! The lot was only 1.79 Mb. I'm not a complete idiot!
I'll update the post above. :D
Motoki:
lmao, okay. But like I said, I've actually seen some really crazy large lot sizes so it wouldn't have been the first time. :o
