Sims disappearing one by one
Shiny:
Let me preface this by saying I have no idea what I'm doing, so feel free to suggest the easiest/most obvious fix because I likely didn't try it. My custom neighborhood seems to be going up in flames. The computer I play on can boot from either Vista or XP. The game is installed on both. Today, I loaded the game in XP, and the neighborhood was full of new bugs, the most troubling being two houses that used to contain families are now listed as for sale, with no sign of the families that used to live in them. Also, a lot of sims were walking around pure white, which I've seen before and has resolved itself in the past. Finally, my main legacy house has a normal family portrait on startup, but two sims are totally missing when I load it, to the point that their own family members have no relationship with them, even in the family tree.
Anyway, the XP partition is being kind of screwy lately in general, so my first attempt to fix this was to move my files over to the Vista partition and load the game from there. This actually got the two missing families back in their houses, but the game crashed when I tried to load one of them. The two missing sims are still missing in the same way as before, and now a child from another family has gone missing as well, with her father still waving at her. The white skins problem seems to be gone, although the family portrait still shows that in one house.
Does the neighborhood sound salvageable? Are these sims retrievable? I have no hacks, and I did try taking out my custom content folder, which changed nothing.
J. M. Pescado:
That's pretty messed up if your files are randomly disappearing.
Shiny:
So, computer over?
Li'l Brudder:
Yes. Very yes.
