Jump bug, even with the fix
uaintjak:
Playing plain old Sims 2, no expansions. I have most of Pescado's hacks installed, no others, including the chatfix. In my new neighborhood, one of the two families suddenly has the jump bug. I believe I even know when it occurred - I had 2 sims playing with the toddler using the rabbit head (so three sims total). I tried to have 2 more join them, and everyone "jumped" out of their actions. I've had a few of them jump since. Also, just today I noticed one of them with the scratchy lines memory though bubble - that's a sure sign of the jump bug, yes?
The problem is, I have the chatbug fix installed, and in fact have had it since day one, so I'm not sure why this family would have the bug. Does the hack simply prevent the bug from spreading via memory, but not from actually occurring? Any help would really be appreciated. I guess I could start the family over, if I have to. (The lot will still be ok to use, correct? If I just get rid of the family?) I'd rather not resort to restarting, but if I have to, I have to.

the scratchy lines was usually corrupt death memories if my memory is not corrupted. ;) So the nocorruptdeathfix would be what you needed. Also, I think I've read here that it can result from a corrupted objects.package file.

I think you'd find if you saved your neighbourhoods and downloads in a separate folder outside the game files, then did a complete uninstall/reinstall and downloaded the patch again, then put your neighbourhoods back in with your downloads, but left the hacks until later, that everything would work fine. You could then move your hacks back in a few at a time just to be on the safe side.

That's true. When Mrs. CrumpleBottom was bitten in my game, (unbeknownst to me until after the fact), I had the scratchy lines, until I overwrote the object.package file.
uaintjak:
Ok - I found the objects.package on the CD, and replaced the one in the folder with the one from the CD.
Folder file was: 30,354 KB
Original CD file was: 30,345 KB
So, a slight difference there. Did the patch for the original Sims 2 game modify this file at all? Because I can't install the patch now (as my game thinks that the patch is already installed, which it is, but any modifications that patch made to the objects.package file were just undone by me). Not sure if anyone can check this for me or not on their own system, but reinstalling the game would be a hassle if someone else could just check their own files.
Thanks for everyone's help, by the way.
